"Hey baby?" Lea asked as they were taking a last minute walk on the beach before they had to be at the airport. They spent all day out day shopping and doing fun things Cabo had to offer.
"Yes baby?" Cory asked with his right hand in his pocket and the other hand tangled with Lea's.
"I didn't mean to, like scare you about all the baby talk." She said slightly staring at the ocean through her sunglasses.
"What? You didn't anything you talk to me about or anything that happens Lea you won't ever scare me away." Cory said honestly.
"Well whatever happens again if we get a pregnancy scare and it's not a scare, it's real and we're left with a baby." Lea asked.
"Then, we will deal with it then. And I will be there for you every step of the way. We have the baby and will be parents, get married. We will deal with it, right?" he asked
"Yeah I am so happy, you just said that." Lea said with a pause.
"Cory I have to tell you something important." She said pausing as Cory unhooked his hand from hers and they stopped every movement he was terrified of what she had to say.
"Today, while you were in the shower I got a call from Dr. Lindzay."
Cory's heart quickly fell to his feet.
"He left a voicemail. And said the urine test somehow messed up, and the blood sample they had gotten came back…..positive." Lea said as tears rolled down her face.
Cory stood there dumbfounded, just listening to what she had to say.
"Is that why you were gone when I got out of the shower?" Cory asked….
Before I go on to far, this is how the mix up happened…
She picked up her phone and her book and took it out on the balcony to enjoy the weather and the ocean waves, while Cory was in the shower. She picked up her phone to check for any missed texts from Darren, when she realized that she had missed a call from an unknown number. They left a voicemail, she click on the number and listened to the voicemail. Tears pooling into her eyes. She clicked replay "This is Dr. Lindzay's office. I'm calling for Lea Michele Sarfati. We received the remainder of your test results back and your blood tests confirm that you are indeed pregnant. I am sorry for the mix up; we are still not sure how this happened. But Congrats Mrs. Sarfati please call back and schedule an appointment so we can get you on the right vitamins and see how far you are. Thank you, and sorry again." Lea sat in awe ... not knowing what to do ... how to feel ... whether she should tell Cory or not, especially after their talk this morning. Lea replayed the message again; she began to shake and to cry uncontrollably. She had to get out of the room. She quickly wrote a note to Cory that she went out for a walk and she would be back soon. She grabbed her room key and quickly left before he could see that she had been crying. She went out to the beach and walked quite a ways down; she didn't realize that she walked so far. She became tired and the more and more she replayed the voicemail in her head, the more she cried. She sat down at the edge of the tide, letting the water splash up against her. 'What am I going to do? Is this something that Cory will want? Will he support me ... us?' she pulled her knees to her chest and rested her head on them. Her gentle cries turned into sobs. Passers-by not knowing what they should do ... Lea unaware of her surroundings and what was going on now, she felt something hit her back. She raised her head up and turned around to see a small beach ball resting at her back ,a little child no older than 3, came running towards her after his ball yelling "I'll get it momma" just before he reached Lea, he fell into the sand on his knees and began to cry. Lea jumped up with his ball in her hands and ran over to him "Oh no! Did you fall? Can I look?" she studied his knees and hands to find that they only had dirt and sand on them. Her mothing insticy kicked in high gear as she brought her hand to his knees and wiped them clean, "You're okay. Is this your ball?" he nodded. The mother of the young child came running up "Ma'am I'm so sorry, he didn't mean to disturb you" Lea smiled and wiped her tears
"He didn't." Lea looked at the young boy and asked "what's your name?"
"Evan" he simply replied
"Well Evan - you are adorable and you weren't bother." she smiled. He grabbed his ball and jumped up from the sand and took off back to where his parents were sitting. Evan's mom, Erica stood above Lea "Ma'am are you okay? You look as if you've been crying?" Lea nodded
"I'm okay. I think." Lea stood up and looked at the woman in the eyes and then over to Evan "Honestly, I just found out that I'm pregnant. I don't know how to tell my boyfriend, we just started dating a month or two ago, and I fear he is going to leave me!" Lea blurted out, she felt weird telling a stranger all of this, but couldn't help it; she needed to talk to someone.
"Hunny! Hunny! Calm down!" Erica stated resting her hand on Lea's shoulder "Can I give you some advice?" Lea nodded "I was 16 when I found out that I was pregnant with my first child. I ended up miscarrying and it killed me and my boyfriend. 5 years later, we are still together. When I found out I was pregnant with Evan, I was in the same boat as you. Not knowing anything. But I let it slip and just told him. I could tell he was shocked and didn't know what to do, but 3 years later, we are together and happier than ever, as a family. You know it takes two to make a mistake, but a child (in my eyes) is not a mistake. You learn from it, whether it brings you closer or tears you apart. It's like a trial."
Lea nodded in agreement but still was left questioning her decisions.
"Listen, one more piece of advice, tell him. Tell him before it gets too late; waiting is going to do no good hunny."
"I am, it's just, this is all so rushed, I feel like we just met and fell in love. It's just too soon" Lea confessed.
"Aren't all good relationships" the woman said simply.
Lea smiled and agreed.
"Listen, thanks so much for talking to me and listening to me cry! It means a lot!" Lea said laughing, "I feel like I have a clear mind on what needs to be done." Lea said giving the stranger a hug, before walking back to her room.
She opened up the door, and Cory jumped up and greeted her, he was so worried, she soon explained she just needed some fresh air, and everything was fine. And with that they left for a day of shopping and sight-seeing. She was excited to tell Cory her big news, but was also scared.
"How..I-I don't get it." Cory said stuttering as his hand rested on the top of his head.
"I don't know baby, I don't know what happened or how! They just said it was a mix up." Lea said as her hands rested over her eyes, and she began crying as Cory began walking in a circle trying to wrap his mind around this. There were surprisingly not many people around them, they were some about two miles down the beach, but it was around four or five, by now so maybe everyone was having dinner or something.
Lea plopped down on the sand, bringing her knees to her chest, crying hysterically.
Cory left her alone for a minute while he wrapped his mind around this whole thing.
After a few minutes of Lea bawling her eyes out, and Cory walking in circles, he finally spoke up.
"It will be okay, baby. We will be okay." He said as he sat on the sand next to her.
"Do you think so?" Lea asked.
"I know so." Cory said as he wrapped his arm around her and held her.
"I was so scared I would have to raise this baby alone" she finally confessed
"Lea, don't be silly, you would never have to do that" he said as he kissed her forehead.
"I love you baby!" she said hiding her head in his neck, as he brought he hand to her stomach "I love you guys, too." He said sweetly, Lea let out a sigh of happiness.
"Damn this is all going so fast." He said rubbing her belly.
"Yea, baby, but today I was taught fast is better. At least we know we are going to be together forever, and we know what we want." Lea said simply as they sat there staring at the ocean and talked about their plans to start a family.
"Can we just wait to tell everyone? At least till we move you in, and I figure out what is going on with Darren and Chris" Lea asked.
"Yea, baby anything you want!" he said as they finally got up to go back to their room to catch their flight.
"I hope it's a girl" Cory blurted out of nowhere
"What?" Lea asked "Where did that come from?" she said with the biggest smile.
"I don't know I was just thinking, if it's a girl she will be just like you with your hair, eyes, talent, I want that." He said
"Baby, you are too cute! I love you, but our baby will be a mixture of us, so it will be perfect no matter the gender" Lea confessed as they got into their hotel room, and he grabbed her and pressed a light kiss on her lips then he called a cab to take them to the airport.
