Thanks for the great reviews everyone. I really appreciate them.
Laura tried her best to act normal around Mark. But she was sure he noticed how jumpy she was. She had fixed dinner which she hardly touched. Mark kept giving her strange looks. She sat at the computer trying to work on a new program, but she couldn't really concentrate. She turned it off and sat there staring into space. "Little one, come over here and set with me." Mark called to her. Mark knew something was bothering her, he figured it was pre wedding jitters. Laura got up and walked over to set beside him. Mark threw his arm around her. "What's wrong baby? Nervous about marrying the Undertaker?" he asked smiling. Laura looked up at him. She smiled back at him. "Yea that's it, it's not everyday a girl marries the Lord Of Darkness." She said laughing. The doorbell rang. Mark went to go get it. "Glen what are you two doing here, I thought you were coming in on Friday." Mark said. "We got some time off thought we would fly in early." Glen said. Tamia went over and hugged Laura. "Were going to get everyone some drinks." Laura said dragging Tamia in the kitchen. "Girl what's wrong?" Tamia asked. "I'll talk to you and Glen after Mark goes to bed." Laura said. "I can't talk now." She said.
They all sat up for a while talking and watching TV. About 11:00 Mark said he was heading to bed. "I'll be up in a while Big Guy." Laura told him. He reached down and kissed her and said goodnight to every one. Glen waited till he heard the door close upstairs. "Laura what's going on?" he asked. Laura looked down at the floor. "I'm pregnant." She whispered. Tamia hugged her friend. "That's great." She said. She saw that Laura was crying. "What's wrong?" Tamia asked." Laura looked at Glen and knew from the look on his face he knew what was wrong. Laura explained to Tamia how Mark felt about having kids. "Well he will just have to get over it wont he?" she asked angrily. "Glen should I tell him or just take off? You know him better than anyone." Laura said. "Laura you can't just take off he loves you. He has the right to know. I know Mark he will do the right thing." He said. "I know he will too Glen that's not the problem, he's going to end up hating me for forcing him into something he don't want." Laura said and burst into tears. Glens heart broke this was tearing her up. Tamia was upset she didn't know what to do to help her friend. Glen walked over to Tamia. "Go on up to bed, sweetness. I'm going to try to get her calmed down." He said. He kissed her and she went upstairs. Glen walked over and picked Laura up and sat her in his lap and rocked her. "Calm down little one, getting upset like this cant be good for you or the baby." He said. "I know, but I can't help it." She sobbed. "Listen, he will come around even if he's upset at first, he loves you. No matter what you know me and Tamia will be here for you." He said. She calmed down and stopped crying. Glen went and got a wet washcloth and wiped her face. He kissed her on the cheek. "Thanks Glen." She said. "Anytime you need me I'm here, Okay?" he said. "Okay." She said. "Laura you need to tell him tomorrow. I mean its Thursday, your getting married Friday. This can't wait." Glen said. "I know, I will." She said. "Go on up and try to get some sleep." Glen said. She leaned over and hugged him. "goodnight." She said. Glen watched her go up. He hoped Mark didn't act like an ass tomorrow.
Laura walked in their room. Mark was sound asleep. She got undressed and slipped in beside him. She put her arms around him and snuggled up to his back. Mark turned over and took her in his arms. She laid her head on his chest and tried to go to sleep. She finally drifted off with thoughts of tomorrow on her mind.
Laura woke early and went down to fix breakfast. Anything to avoid the inevitable. She kept herself busy cooking. Glen and Tamia walked in. "Hey girl." Tamia said. "Hey." Laura answered. "Tamia could you finish up breakfast, I'm going up to talk to Mark." Laura said. "Sure girl, go ahead." Tamia said. Glen stopped her as she walked by. "Well be here if you need us." He said. Laura nodded and went upstairs.
Laura stood in front of the door. She took a deep breath and walked in. "Hey baby girl." Mark said. His hair was till damp from the shower. He looked so handsome. He came over and kissed her. "Mark we need to talk." She said. "Sure baby, sit down." He said. He pulled her over to set beside him on the bed. She sat there looking at her hands. "Baby what it is." Mark asked. He was concerned he could see she was upset. "I'm Pregnant." She blurted out. She was afraid to look at him. He wasn't saying anything. She looked up at him. He was looking at her like she committed murder or something, he was mad. "Mark I didn't do this on purpose, I took my birth control. It just happened." She said. "Laura I know you didn't do this on purpose, but it don't change things does it?" he asked in a cold voice. "I'm going for a ride I need to think." He said. He walked out and shut the door quietly. Laura lay back on the bed as tears rolled down her cheeks. She had lost him.
