Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
First and foremost, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has read this story, whether it was just a few chapters or the entire thing! This is the longest running series I've ever written as far as word count, and I'm happy to say there will be yet another one! It will be called You're My Everything, and I hope to have it published by the New Year!
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and a huge thanks to my moirail Arturo/godlessAdversry who has helped me so much when I have writer's block!
-Sunday, August 6, 8:49 pm/Pink Hibiscus Spa & Resort-
"Rosie, you'll never guess what happened!"
"What, Mom?" Rose sighed with frustration and flopped down on the king-sized bed at the resort. "Are you drunk?"
"No, silly! Joseph proposed to me yesterday!"
Rose laid her cell phone face down on the bed before screaming into a pillow. She quickly got herself together before picking the phone back up. "That's...that's great, Mom."
"You'll have to help me pick out a wedding dress when you get back!"
"Okay." The blonde sighed again and looked up at Kanaya, who had just finished taking a shower. "Mom, listen, Kanaya and I are tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay!" Roxy giggled on the other side of the line. "I love you, Rosie!"
"Love you too, Mom." Rose hung up with relief before sitting up.
"How is your mother?" asked Kanaya, sitting down on the bed next to her wife. "Is she okay being by herself for the next few days?"
"Oh, she's not by herself anymore. She's getting married to John's dad." Rose flopped back down on the bed and shoved a pillow in her face. "I hate everything!"
Kanaya pulled the pillow away from Rose's face and helped her to sit back up. "Rose, everything will be fine, I promise. I know everything's hitting at once, but can't you at least be happy for her? She's found love; that's a great thing!"
"It's not a great thing that she decided to tell me on the first day of our honeymoon!" She stood up and began pacing around the room. "She's selfish, that's what she is! I don't care if she's happy, she's ruined the week already! I don't think she realizes—"
"Roseline, listen to me."
Rose stopped. "Did you just use my full name?!"
"Yes. Yes I did." Kanaya got up off the bed and walked over to her wife. "Rose, calm down. You're getting worked up over nothing. I'm sure your mother has good intentions, and she doesn't mean to make you upset." She gave the human a kiss. "Now, I think there's a little something we could do to get your mind off of things?"
-Tuesday, August 22, 7:24 am/Rose and Kanaya's condo-
"Goddammit!" Rose sighed and locked her phone before opening the fridge to get some orange juice.
"What is it?" Kanaya asked, looking up from her breakfast. "Is everything okay?"
"Yes, everything's fine. My period's just late." The blonde shut the refrigerator door with an irritated sigh. "I guess with the wedding excitement and all...it must have been paused or something."
Kanaya was trying to remember what a "period" was, but when she finally remembered, realized what it could have meant. "Rose...do you think you might be pregnant?" she asked nervously.
"Of course not, Kanaya. We're both girls. It's impossible." Rolling her eyes, Rose walked over to the kitchen table and sat down next to her wife. "Besides, I don't want to be the one having children. I'd rather adopt an older child so we can skip the baby stages."
"There's a species difference, remember," reminded Kanaya. "Vriska didn't know she could get pregnant by a human...maybe humans can get pregnant by trolls…?"
"No, that can't be right," Rose quickly said. "We're both girls. We can't reproduce together."
"Species difference, Rose. I have a bulge, which is the equivalent to male genitalia, and we...used it."
"Look, Kanaya, I already said, I can't be preg—"
She hadn't even finished her sentence when she threw up orange juice all over the table.
Kanaya cringed and slowly began to stand up. "Rose," she calmly began, "come on. We're going to the drugstore to buy a pregnancy test."
-8:09 am-
"What do I do if I'm actually pregnant?" Rose wondered aloud, nervously pacing back and forth in her and Kanaya's bedroom. "I'm not prepared to have a baby, I don't know how to take care of a baby, and I don't want to have a baby!"
"Rose, we'll figure it out," Kanaya assured. "We do a great job babysitting Casey and Katrina, so I don't think we have anything to worry about."
"But we haven't talked about doing this!"
"Calm down." Kanaya put her hands on Rose's shoulders. "If you are pregnant, you'll be a great mother."
The timer Rose had set on her phone beeped. "It's ready," she quickly said. "Oh, my god, Kanaya, I don't want to look!"
"If you don't want to look, then I'll look." Kanaya began to walk into the bathroom, but Rose quickly jumped in front of her.
"No, no, no, I'll look!" She hesitated for a moment, but then stepped back. "I changed my mind; you go look!"
Kanaya nodded and walked over to the bathroom counter. She tensed up before slowly reaching down and picking up the pregnancy test.
"Rose," she laughed, a smile appearing on her face, "we're going to have a baby."
