CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
There was a long pause of silence. I didn't dare to open my eyes and look at John. I wondered what was going through his mind...why he hadn't reacted in anyway. Was he just in shock? Was he happy? Was he angry? I wished he would say something. The tension was killing me.
After a few minutes, I felt John shift on the couch. I wondered if he was getting ready to leave. I kept my eyes firmly closed...not wanting to see him walk out. And at least this way, the tears couldn't escape. I just sat and waited for the sound of the door closing, when suddenly, I felt John's lip against my own. I sighed and reached up to rest my hands on his shoulders, returning his gentle kiss.
When John pulled away, I allowed my eyes to slowly flutter open. I looked straight in to John's pale blue eyes and he just smiled softly at me, reaching out to brush the hair away from my face.
"You're not angry?" I managed to ask, my hands sliding down and lingering on his chest for a moment as I moved closer to him.
"Why would I be angry?" John replied, laughing slightly.
"I just thought you might not..."
John cut me off in mid-sentence, placing his fingertips against my lips.
"Don't even think that." he said. "I love you and I want to be with you."
"What about the baby?" I asked, giving him a confused look.
John just smiled widely and took my hands in his. "That just makes it even more perfect. We can be like a proper family. Me, you and our baby."
I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, and threw my arms around John's neck. John wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tightly. I inhaled the scent of his cologne deeply. I loved the smell of cologne, especially when it was on John.
"I love you, John Cena." I whispered to him.
"I love you, too, baby." he responded, kissing the side of my neck softly.
I glanced over at the clock and pulled out of John's grasp.
"It's getting pretty late." I said, running my hands over John's stomach, then taking his hands in mine. "I'd better get some sleep. I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow."
"You have?" John asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.
I nodded in response. "Will you come with me?"
"Of course I will." John smiled. "I'll be with you every step of the way."
I smiled back at him. "Thank you."
He just winked at me and squeezed my hands a little.
John let go of my hands and stood up from the couch. I grabbed ahold of his wrist as he tried to walk passed. Rising from my own seat, I moved in close to him, gently resting my body against his. I let my hands travel up his arms and across his shoulders.
"Are you not going to stay here with me tonight?" I asked huskily.
John just smiled widely and pulled me in closer to him. "Is that an invitation?" he asked playfully.
"It might be." I replied, grasping the back of his neck and pulling him down in to a passionate kiss.
I released him, and smirked slightly. I pulled out of his arms and walked over to the bed, pushing the covers back and climbing in.
"Well? What are you waiting for?" I said to John, still smirking over at him.
He was quick to respond, hurrying over to the other side of the best and sliding in beside me. I rested my head back against the pillow as John laid beside me, his lips covering mine.
After a moment, John pulled back and looked down at me with a confused frown.
"What's wrong?" I asked him, reaching my hand up and brushing my fingertips over his cheek.
"Can you...?" John said, that bewildered look still on his face. "When you're pregnant?"
"I never thought about that." I said, now looking pretty confused myself. "I'm not quite sure. I imagine so."
"Maybe we should wait until tomorrow, after we've asked the doctor about it?" John suggested.
"Yeah." I nodded. "You're right. It's best to be safe."
John settled back down under the covers and pulled me close to him. I cuddled up to him and rested my head against his chest.
"What a pair we make." I snickered.
"Hey, I've never had a kid before." John laughed slightly.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Neither have I."
We both laughed as I rested my head back on John's chest. He held me tightly and kissed the top of my head. I closed my eyes as I listened to the relaxing beat of John's heart, and within minutes, I'd drifted off to sleep.
