Surprise Surprise

As I parted my eyes I could see Barnabas just leaving the room, I woke up as happy as ever (we'd done it 3 times last night!)It felt good being back to my old self, no more being sick after eating, no more dizziness and no more lying in bed feeling weak and helpless.

I got out of bed, "no more lying around Julia" I said to myself has I made my way to my closet, grabbing a simple dress and some shoes.

"Morning my dear" Barnabas said carrying a tray with some tea and breakfast on.

"Morning my love" I replied back while zipping up the dress.

He placed the tray on the bed, "You look so gorgeous my dear, I can't get over the fact were going to be together forever!" he said with excitement.

I laughed, "Oh my dear Barnabas, you're such a good man" I placed my arms around his waist and laid my head onto his chest, I love how my head fits perfectly into his chest!

"So what's the plan for today then my dear?" he asked.

"I've arranged to meet some of my girlfriends, is that okay?" I asked inquisitively.

"Yes its fine my dear, any idea what time you will be back?"

I grabbed the piece of toast and bit into it, "Yes, ermm about 4?" I said with a mouth full of toast, I began to walk out.

"Erm Julia" Barnabas shouted in a jokey way.

"oh yeah" I ran towards and him and kissed his lips, "don't worry Barnabas there will be plenty of time for me and you tonight" I said in sexy tone of voice, I then winked at him and went off, down the stairs of the Collin wood mansion, and out of the door. Strutting like a model down a catwalk to the bus stop.

In the Mall

I walked toward the girls; all of them look at me like I was a complete stranger.

"Wow Julia you look different" Audrey said sounding shocked.

"In a good way I hope" I joked.

"Yes in a good way" she laughed.

"Yes Audrey's right Julia, you look like a completely new person!" said Helen

It's because I am, I thought.

I laughed, "Come one girls, what's going on with you too!"

2 hours later

"Right girls, I must get going!" I kissed them both on the cheek and left for the bus stop.

When I got back to the Collinwood mansion I was dying for a pee, so I got to the toilet pulled my pants down and released the flow of urine.

"That's funny I should have started today" I told myself confused, "Oh SHIT!" I wiped myself and leapt off the toilet and down the stairs to be greeted by Barnabas; he could tell something was wrong.

"Julia what's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"Nothing, in fact it could be something very beautiful" I smiled

"What is it?" he was now shaking me.

I backed away, "Barnabas I need you to go get a pregnancy test for me" I shut my eyes scared of what his reaction would be.

"Oh my goodness, my dear could you really be pregnant?" he asked.

"I could Barnabas, I really could be!"

"Right okay you just stay here, I'll be back!"

"Barnabas, please don't get your hope up too high okay? It could be a false alarm!"

"I know my love I just, I love you so much and a family would be everything especially with you", then before I knew it he was out of the door.
