"You're pregnant?!" Rufus exclaimed, trying out the words.
"Mhmm." Lily replied with a grin on her face.
"Wow. That's----"
He trailed off.
Why wasn't he as excited as her? He seemed completely unthrilled. She, on the other hand, was ecstastic. She was pregnant which was a miracle at her age and it was with HIS baby. He didn't seem to care though. The joy and enthusiasm she had felt when the doctor had called suddenly seemed to disolve and was instead replacved with sorrow and worry.
"What's the matter, Rufus?" Lily questioned.
"Nothing. It's just....alot to take in," Rufus answered, trying to sound calm.
"..Alot..to..take...in?" She tried out the words. Seeing how he could possibly feel this way. Why was he doing this?
"Well, it's just...wow."
"Rufus, you aren't happy? I mean...we're going to have a baby!" She couldn't help but smile when she said the word 'baby'. She was having a baby.
"I'm thrilled, Lil. Wow, I'm going to be a father! We're having a baby." Finally, the reaction she had wanted. A big smile broke out on his face.
"Woah, for a second there, you scared me. "
"I know. I'm sorry. It's just shocking. Oh my god, I can't stop smiling!"
He pulled her close. They were finally going to have the child they hadn't gotten all those years ago. He brushed his lips across her forehead.
After a moment of silence with them reveling in the excitement, Rufus spoke.
"Lily, you have just given me the best Valentine's Day gift ever."
She looked up and kissed him full on the lips with such an undeniable passion. God, she loved this man.
"We have to tell Dan and Serena...and Eric and Jenny," stated Lily, " How are they going to react? I mean Dan and Serena just got back together."
He took her hands in his. "They'll be fine, Lil."
Although those words were reassuring, she couldn't help but hear contridicting words ringing in her ears. Would they be fine?
