Chapter V: Oh BABY!
THREE MONTHS LATER
Carolyn sat in the bathroom of Mike's apartment, she had a tiny stick in her hand. The egg time went off and she turned it over. The word was clear and simple...
Pregnant
It was amazing how one weekend could give them a child, she knew it had to be the first time they made love, her missing periods was a sign. She was scared what Mike would say, he had already lost a child to his girlfriend's actions. She would never get an abortion, never unless it was life threatening to her health. She was eleven weeks with their child, their tiny creation and sign of love, if he did love her, he hadn't said it yet, she had but he hadn't. A knock on the bathroom door made her worry, Mike came in and saw her worried, he immediately saw the test and nodded.
"Yes or no?"
She handed him the test and he looked at it, smiling as he looked at it.
"Caro...this is..."
"Horrible I know, you don't want kids...ever since Allison."
"Baby...what makes you think I don't want your children? I love you, so much."
"You love me?"
"Yes and not because you're having my child...I love you for you, for your heart, patience and love."
She hugged him and he held her, kissing her head. He looked at the test and smiled, he was having a child. They pulled back and looked at each other, he placed the test aside and took her hands in his.
"I love you Mike, I'm happy that we have a child on the way."
"How many weeks are you?"
"Eleven, it was the first night."
"I can count you know."
She laughed and pulled his hands to her stomach, resting her hands on top of his.
"Our baby, our future."
"We have a problem."
"What?"
"Marriage."
"I know a judge and my parents can come down. They don't need to know till afterwards."
"Hold on a minute there, we need to be truthful with them."
