Yay! Love your reviews thank you all sooo much! Here's the next chapter!
Patricia didn't know what to do now. She didn't want to call Eddie at work. She didn't want to go home to her empty house. She didn't want to do anything.
She sat in her car outside her house. She tried to imagine telling him. It went somewhat like this.
She'd start with, "Eddie?"
"Hey Yacker." He'd kiss her hello not knowing what was about to happen.
"Eddie, I have something to tell you."
"Something wrong?"
"I'm pregnant."
She couldn't even imagine his reaction. She couldn't even tell if he'd be happy or sad or angry.
She sighed, she knew Mara was right. She just needed to tell him. Talking never was their strongest area. She got out of the car and walked into the house. She hear someone in the kitchen, she tried of think of what time it was. Eddie was home and she was a couple of hours later then she said she would be.
She walked in and there was her husband, his back was to her and he was on his cell phone.
"I have no idea she was supposed to be back hours ago," He said into it. "She was at Mara and Jerome's and I called them they said she left a while ago, you haven't seen her...yeah she has been acting weird lately...I have no-,"
I interrupted him, "Eddie."
He spun around and a huge look of relief on his face. "Oh thank god. She just walked in. I'll call you back later Fabian." He hung up the phone. "Where the hell have you been?"
Patricia swallowed, should she tell him now? She felt dizzy. "I-I need to sit down."
Eddie's face softened, "Are you okay?"
She needed to tell him. She needed to just get it over with. "Eddie...there's something I need to tell you."
He looked confused, "Yacker, whatever it is it can wait." He walked over and kissed her. "Now what happened where have you been?"
"I was driving around," She said.
"Why didn't you answer your phone?" His tone was annoyed and confused. He wanted a straight answer.
"I needed time to think," She said looking at his face wondering what would happen when she told him what she was thinking about.
"About what?"
"I found something out... and I'm not sure how you're going to react."
Eddie was worried now, "Everything alright at Clarke's? Is Joe okay? Are you okay?"
"Yeah they're all fine," She said carefully.
"Could you please tell me what going on Yacker? Because I'm really in the dark over here."
Patricia took a deep breath then finally just blurted it out, "I'm pregnant."
Eddie's world stop, Patricia was pregnant. He was going to be a dad. He was going to have a kid. He didn't know how to do that. He never had a dad. He didn't know how to do this.
Patricia's face looked a little bit scared now, she was worried about his reaction. He knew that. He thought back to one of his conversations with his "dad" he had said that this was the moment that he wanted to leave. Eddie wasn't going to be like that. He was going to be there for this kid and Patricia.
"Really?" He started with a smile. Patricia finally took a breath. She nodded.
Eddie took a breath too.
"Are you...angry?" She asked.
"Yacker...no...no never, sorry, I love you and I'm going to be here for you and this kid okay?" She nodded and they hugged. They stayed in the embrace. "Plus who wouldn't want another me around?"
Patricia groaned, "Huh great another slimeball around."
"It's gonna be okay."
Patricia burst out laughing. Eddie took a step back from here and looked weirded out.
"Is some kind of mood swing thingie?" He asked.
"No, at least I don't think so. But...we're going to be parents. We're going to raise a kid," She laughed some more. Eddie thought about it for a second then he laughed too.
I hope that wasn't anticlimactic. I love all your reviews so much keep them coming please! Next it will be about Patricia actually having the baby! :D
