Hey, guys sorry for the long wait I've been really busy with school lately. I'll be updating parenthood soon. :)
Also, for the few that reviewed I do take request and I have those coming up soon.
Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Look on first chapter.
Staring down at her future Mercedes cupped her hand tightly around her mouth. Unshed tears currently filled her eyes. They were locked on the pregnancy test that was sitting on the counter. Positive; was the single word staring back at her. How could she be pregnant? It was impossible to become pregnant while on birth control right? Well apparently not. Running her fingers through her dark brown hair Mercedes let a few of her tears fall. How was she going to tell Noah? How would be react? So many scenario's and reactions playing in her mind. She couldn't stop that thought from flooding her. She had to stay strong though. Stay… well. Stay positive for the time being.
Slowly removing her hand from her mouth Mercedes let out a long and deep sigh. Her life was about to change forever. Grasping the test in her hand Mercedes clutched it tighter than she probably should have at the moment. Stepping out of the bathroom Mercedes walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Almost as if she was in a daze. Her eyes fixated on the wall in front of her. Setting the test down on the coffee table Mercedes wiped her tears and sat silently with her thoughts.
Mercedes was so trapped inside herself that she failed to hear the keys at the door, and the footsteps enter the house. She even missed Noah calling out her name. She didn't come back to reality until she felt a hand slide into her own. Blinking Mercedes noticed Noah on his knees in front of her with a look of worry on his face.
"Baby, are you alright?" Noah asked stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. "You look a little pale, and you didn't even notice me come in."
Staring at him Mercedes let out a small huff as his words registered to her. "Oh um, yeah I'm fine. I guess I'm just a little tired." She lied, deciding to wait until after dinner to tell him.
Noah eyed his girlfriend closely before nodding slowly, "You should get some sleep then, I don't mind eating alone." That earned a small laugh from Mercedes.
"Yeah, right. C'mon baby." She stood up quickly pulling Noah up with her. Glancing at the table behind him she eyed the test before pulling him into the kitchen.
"How was your day?" she asked trying to keep her mind off the news.
"Today was pretty uneventful. I did get a few new clients though." Noah spoke as he leaned onto the counter.
Moving around the kitchen Mercedes pulled a tray of lasagna out of the oven and sat it on top of the stove before glancing over at him. "What kind of things do your new client's want you to work on?"
Pulling two plates from the cabinet Noah shrugged, "We haven't really discussed that yet, but I do believe it's a big project."
Looking over her shoulder towards Noah, Mercedes smiled. "Well that's great. You've been trying to get a bigger project for a while now." Cutting the lasagna some she placed a bit on each plate before moving over to the fridge and pulling out the salad.
"Yes, but baby you know a bigger project means less time here with you." At that thought Mercedes bit her lip but shrugged it off.
"Baby, I don't mind really." She said as she placed the plates on the table before sitting down.
Looking at her hesitantly Noah sat down. "Mercy, you're always saying how you want me home more." He spoke softly.
Sigh Mercedes nodded. "Yeah, but this is something you've wanted for a while and I'm not going to be the one to pull you away from that."
Beginning to eat Noah fell into a silence. Thinking it over he knew that Mercedes didn't exactly like him not being home a lot but he had to bring money into their house somehow. Sighing he reached across the table and pulled her free hand into his. "I guess you're right, but if it really starts to bother you let me know and I can just transfer this deal to someone else."
Looking into Noah's brown eyes Mercedes nodded. "Alright I promise."
The two began to eat their food normally now. Small talk was going back and forth between the two.
As they both finished their dinner, fear began to rise with in Mercedes again. It was now or never. Looking up to see Noah putting their plates into the sinks she chewed on her lip roughly. Taking a deep breath she quietly slipped out of the kitchen and into the living room. Grabbing the test she held it behind her back as she hesitantly spoke. "Noah, baby come here."
Poking his head out of the kitchen Noah look his girlfriend over. "Baby, what is it?" when she didn't respond he stepped out the kitchen. "Mercy?"
Looking up at Noah slowly she pulled the test from behind her back and moved forwards for him to see.
Noah glanced down at the white stick in her hand confused. That was until he noticed the words positive written across the screen. His brown eyes went wide as he slowly looked back up at Mercedes. "You—… Your pregnant?"
Nodding slowly Mercedes closed her eyes waiting for him to blow up. However instead she felt his strong arms wrap around her waist and pull her body closer to his. Letting out a small sigh of relief Mercedes wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm sorry."
At her words Noah pulled back and looked into her eyes. "Why would you be sorry?" She looked away from him.
"Well, I just know you said you weren't ready for kids yet, and well now." Noah shook his head.
"Baby, I love you. No I wasn't exactly expecting this or was ready for this, but we're here now. I am happy." He smiled softly before giving her a soft kiss.
Looking up into Noah's eyes Mercedes smiled softly. "I love you too Noah." Pulling away from her some Noah dropped to his knees and kissed her stomach which caused a giggle to erupt from Mercedes.
"Baby I'm not even showing yet!" she shook her head at her lovely boyfriend. Running her fingers through his Mohawk she smiled to herself. Everything would be just fine.
