Chapter 17

It was a few weeks after that passionate night in bed. Chris had been in the bathroom, door shut, but unlocked, with the water running in the shower. He had just stepped in to take a shower, and begun washing off that tanned, well-sculpted, athletic body.

Sinister was sitting on the edge of the bed,looking at the little themometer shaped tube in her hand. No words, no numbers, just a blue cross that meant as the box read. She was pregnant. She was quite shaken up about it all. She was happy but she was afraid. Chris may not want to have children, especially with her. Was she a mother type? She bit into her bottom lip whimpering. She couldn't tell him yet, she just couldn't do it. Though the signs were obvious to her all along, it was probably because she could feel it. He probably hadn't noticed the little changes. No one usually did. Yet, because she had spent so much of her life with just herself, she knew exactly what was going on, with or without the test. She was panicking and rethinking everything that has happened in the past few months up until now. She never would have guessed she'd be in this position. Throwing the test to the corner, she balled up on the bed, unable to make up her mind. There, she fell asleep. Distraught.

Chris had turned off the water as he finished with his shower. He stepped out, grabbing a towel. He dried himself off, and then wrapped it around his waist. He walked to their room and saw that she was asleep. He gave a bit of a face, wondering why. When he went into the bathroom, she was awake. He didn't see the test in the corner, but he moved to her side of the bed and ran his hand along her forehead. "Sin... Are you feeling alright?"

Awakened by his words, she looked up at him. She nodded reassuringly. "I'm quite fine love, i can assure you." She smile weakly,forcing it the best she could. "have a nice shower?" She asked. Quickly changing the subject.

He gave a bit of a face, and kissed her forehead, smiling. "I did. How come you're in bed when you just got up?"

Seeing as it was so difficult to lie to him, she just got up. "Oh, i was just bored, waiting on you to get out I suppose." she sighed. Stumbling a bit as she stood up, she quickly gained composure. Making her way into the kitchen she smiled,"May I get you anything?" She held onto the counter to keep her standing straight and strong.

As she stood up, he watched her walk away, and before he walked out the door, something white caught his eye. He made a double take and spotted the pregnancy test on the ground. He quickly picked it up and looked at it, seeing the blue cross. He slowly lowered the test and looked at her, seeing she was still walking away. He put it up against his arm, hiding it from her sight as he walked into the kitchen. He spoke as she asked to get him somthing. "Sure, you can get me something, something that isn't a lie."

Weakly, she looked up at him confused. "What are you talking about?" As she hit yet another dizzy spell,she fell back.

His eyes widened as she fell backwards, and with those quick reflexes of his, he leapt forward and threw his arms around her, catching her from falling to the ground. "Sin! Sin... Are you alright?"

Opening her eyes slowly,blinking them once or twice she nodded,attempting to stand completely on her own again. "I'm fine, just slipped on something." Gripping his arms still trying to get up, she whimpered. Due to dizziness from the pregnancy she gave up, and soon gave in. She closed her eyes
biting into her bottom lip,"I'm pregnant.." she sighed.

A heavy sigh escaped his lips as she told him the truth. "I know, Sin... I found the test." He looked her dead in the eyes. "Why didn't you tell me Sin...? I love you and I will stay by you until the day I die.

She could no longer look him in the eyes, she looked down as her tears began to flood the floor. "I'm sorry, i just, I didn't meant to get pregnant, i'm so sorry.."

He cradled her in his arms. "I know Sinister... I know. But... This is completely up to you... Either we can have this baby, or we can... get it taken care of... It's entirely up to you..." He rubbed some tears from her eyes, and held her close to him, he felt her slightly cold skin on his warm chest.

Her body shivered as she cried. She stuttered,"W..we..we can have it..?". She asked in a slightly more joyful tone.

A smile spread across his face. "Of course we can." He kissed the top of her head. "Please stop crying, Sin. I hate seeing you like this."

Wrapping her arms around his neck and digging her face into his chest her tears slowly began to stop. "Thank you so much, i thought you wouldn't want it..and..and..I'm so sorry.." she whimpered. She sniffled,wiping her eyes on her own shirt before looking up into his eyes. "thank you.." she smiled.

His eyes shut, his arms wrapped around her, he whispered into her ear. "You should probably go to bed. I can see how stressed you've been with this. Would you like to?"

Warmed by this she smiles nodding. "Yes please.." she said as she laid her hand in his.

He smiled, as he put a hand underneath her legs, and one behind her back and picked her up with ease. He walked her to their room and layed her on the bed, and kissed her forehead gently. He crawled in next to her, his arm wrapping around her waist, and his body up against hers, but not in a suggestive way, just a way to comfort her. He still had nothing but a towel on, but he didn't want to get up now.

Laying in his arms, she laid her head back against his chest gently, nearly instantly falling asleep.

His eyes shut slowly, his fingers stroking the top of her head gently as he slowly fell asleep.

A few hours later, she opened her eyes slightly to find herself still within his arms. She smiled kissing his chest gently. She was ever so lucky to have him
