Mary drove home slowly, practicing how she was going to say to Robbie in
her head. She knew he really didn't want a baby now, and wondered how he
would react. Her and Robbie had moved into an apartment about 5 minutes
away from her parents, it had 2 bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a living room,
and a full bathroom. Mary pulled into the parking lot, and went inside.
Robbie wasn't home yet, so Mary started dinner. When it was done, she went
into her room, and looked into the mirror. She lifted up her shirt, she
wasn't showing yet, so her stomach was still flat. She rubbed her stomach a
few times, and then she heard the door open. She quickly walked out of the
room and was greeted by Robbie. He gave her a long kiss on the lips, then
he pulled away and pulled Mary onto the couch with him. They sat there just
looking at each other for like 10 minutes, then Robbie got up and went over
to the table. He pulled out a chair for Mary, then went to sit across from
her. The food was already on the table, and they stated eating.
"So how was your day?" he asked.
"Ummm… It was good." She said trying to hide her true feelings.
"That's good baby." He said smiling.
"How was your day?" she asked.
"It was good, classes were the same, but good."
"That's good."
They finished eating, and then went to sit on the couch. They were watching television, when Mary turned around and looked at Robbie.
"What's wrong sweety?" he asked brushing his hand against the side of her face.
"Robbie, how do you feel about having a baby?" she asked cautiously.
"Mary, we've been over this many times, I don't wanna have a baby right now." He explained calmly.
"So you absolutely don't wanna baby?"
"Mary, I do not want a baby right now, and I don't think I am gonna change my mind, by your pestering." He said sounding annoyed.
"God, I am sorry for my pestering." She said sarcastically. "I was just trying to think about our future." She said raising her voice a little and walking off to the bedroom and slamming the door.
Robbie felt bad for making her mad, but he really did not want a baby now. He sat on the couch, and continued watching television. Mary was in her room lying on the bed, wondering if she should even tell Robbie she was pregnant. She needed to talk to someone, usually she would go to Lucy, but she was away visiting Scott's parents in Chicago. So she put on her coat and got her keys, she went out of the room, and Robbie turned around to see her.
"Mary, baby, where are you going?" Robbie asked, stunned she was leaving.
"I am going to my mom's house." She said flatly.
"Mary don't leave, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I do want to have a baby with you, just not now."
"I am not leaving you, I am just going to talk to someone." She said opening the door. "I will be back in about an hour." She said slamming it behind her.
Robbie sat on the couch wondering what he had done, Mary seemed so sad and withdrawn, and he didn't like it at all. He didn't want to see her like this, but had no idea what was wrong. He decided to just wait for her to get home to talk to her.
Meanwhile Mary was just arriving at the Camden home. She walked inside to find the house quiet. That was very unusual, seeing how it housed 6 kids, and two adults. Mary walked upstairs to find everyone's doors open, and them not in their rooms. Then she heard a noise, she went over to Simon's room, where the noise was coming from. She saw him sitting at his desk doing homework.
"Hey Simon, where is everyone?"
"Oh hey Mary. They went out to dinner, but I have so much homework, so I stayed home." He explained.
"Oh okay." She said beginning to walk out.
"Hey Mary, wait. Is there something wrong?" he asked noticing her sad expression.
"Ummm…. Kinda."
"Wanna tell me?"
"Okay, but you have to promise not to tell anyone." She pleaded, knowing if she didn't talk to someone, she would break.
"Okay, I promise."
"Okay, well Simon, ummm…. Today I uh… went to the…. Doctors… and uh….. I am ….. uh….. pregnant" she finally choked out.
"Wow, that's awesome Mary." He said giving her a hug.
"Not really, whenever I try to talk to Robbie about it, he shoots down the idea of having a baby. Then tonight when I was trying to tell him, he said he definitely doesn't want a baby right now."
"Oh, but you are gonna tell him, right?"
"I will, I just don't know when." She replied.
"Well, how far along are you?" he asked.
"She said about 2 months."
"Wow."
"Yeah, and she said I will be showing in a couple of weeks."
"Then it will be really hard to keep it from him then, won't it?"
"Yeah, it will."
"Mary don't worry, Robbie will support you in this. You guys are married, and he loves you more than anything. So you're gonna have to tell him." Simon said comfortingly.
"Thanks Simon." She said giving him a hug.
"Now go home and tell him."
"No, I can't not now. We just had a fight because I brought up having a baby again. I will tell him, eventually." She said standing up to leave.
"I'll see you Mary." Said Simon.
"Yeah, I will probably be here tomorrow." She said leaving the room.
She drove back to the apartment, and walked up to her door. She opened it and walked inside. She saw Robbie watching a football game on the couch. She walked to her bedroom and shut the door. Robbie ad heard the door open, so he turned around. She didn't even look at him, she walked right past him and slammed the door.
Robbie didn't know what to do, but he had to do something. He got up and went into the bathroom, he ran the water in the over-sized tub, and dumped Mary's bath salts into it. He then went over to the bedroom door and knocked lightly.
"Come in." came Mary's voice.
"Mary, baby, come here." Said Robbie sitting on the bed.
She walked over to him, but sat on the opposite end of the bed.
"I am sorry if I hurt you, and I like I said I wanna have a baby with you, just not now. I am very sorry if I offended you. I love you, and you mean the world to me, I don't want us to be like this."
"Robbie I am sorry too. I don't want us to be like this either." She said moving closer to him.
"Mary, I have a surprise for you. Come on." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her up with him.
He pulled her into the bathroom, and gasped when she saw it. He had put rose petals on top of the water, and then he lined the edged of the tubs with tons and tons of candles.
"What do the candles remind you of?" he asked as he watched her face intently.
"The night you proposed to me." She said smiling.
"I knew you'd get it." He laughed kissing her lightly.
Robbie then took off his shirt, and helped Mary take of hers. They soon were both naked, and they climbed into the hot water. Mary sat down, and Robbie sat behind her. She had her head on his chest, and was sitting between his legs, while he held her in his arms. They sat like this for a while, talking and laughing.
The next few weeks Mary went back to her usual routine. She still hadn't told Robbie, she was beginning to show, and just told Robbie she was putting on some weight. He didn't totally believe her, but he never thought she would lie to him. She even tried to bring up a baby sometimes, but as always Robbie shot down the idea.
Pretty soon it was time for Mary's next ultra sound. She brought Simon with her, because he was still the only one who knew, other than Lucy. She hadn't told her parents, because she knew they would tell Robbie. She was now four months pregnant, but was still very small. She did look like she just put on some weight. She went into the examining room, and laid down on the table.
After her appointment she went home, dropping Simon on her way. She got there and Robbie wasn't home. She went into her room, and fell asleep, she had been very tired lately, and usually took naps at this time of day. She had quit her training, and had been spending her time in school, trying to get her bachelors. Robbie didn't know she quit, because she didn't tell him. She figured she couldn't do it, and have a baby, so school seemed easier.
***I am soo sorry if I took a long time in updating. I hope you like it and I am gonna try to get the next chapter up very soon. And if any of you are thinking how can they not tell she is pregnant? Like I said she is very small still, and just looks like she gained some weight. I hope you like it***
