Imagine your OTP finding out they're pregnant.
Marley opened the door quickly and ran inside of the house, dropping her bag in the middle of the doorway. She ran up the stairs with the little blue packet in her hands and ran straight into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
"Oi! Marley!" Ryder shouted, running into the house with a shopping bag and looking around for her. He spotted her bag next to the door and sighed. Of course she was going to start without him. "Wait for me, you idiot!" He shouted, dropping his own bag and slamming the front door shut. He ran up the stairs like Marley did and skidded to a stop in front of the bathroom door. He began to knock frantically on the wooden door, letting out whine.
"Ryder, please stop knocking. You're making me agitated and I can't pee!" Marley screamed, throwing down the pregnancy test onto the counter and taking another gulp of water, her hands shaking excitedly.
She'd missed her period – it was two weeks late now, and Marley wasn't sure she was actually pregnant or her ovaries were just acting up. She was desperately hoping she was pregnant now, because that meant that finally her and Ryder could start a family. They may have been young, but they both wanted to fulfill that dream.
"But Mar," Ryder whined from outside of the bathroom, "I wanna see if you're pregnant." He knocked on the door again and made another whining sound.
"I need to pee first, don't I? And I'd really appreciate if you didn't hear me urinating, thank you very much." Marley snapped, a smile coming onto her face – she was just too overly happy at that second.
"Alright, alright, fine." Ryder whispered, leaning against the door and tapping his foot on the carpet. Marley could just tell that Ryder was just dying out there to be in there, wanting to see if Marley was indeed pregnant or not… and Marley just couldn't wait either.
Ryder leaned against the door and rested his forehead against it before sliding down to his knees and sitting on the floor like that. He groaned aloud and closed his eyes. "I'm gonna pee now, Ryder. Be patient." Marley snapped, knocking on the door from the inside.
Ryder sighed and sat against the door. He'd been waiting for this day forever, and the moment was taking so long to come. Ever since the night before when they were both lying on the couch, eating popcorn and Marley had casually mentioned that she thought she might be pregnant. Ryder was taken back, but he was so excited at the same time. The night before, he didn't really know what to say. He kind of just sat there, staring ahead in shock until he managed to knock himself out of his daze five minutes later, excited out of his mind.
"I'm putting the test down now." Marley whispered from behind the door before opening it. Ryder almost fell forward but stopped himself and smiled up at Marley. Marley gave him a worried smile before falling on the floor next to Ryder, crossing her legs.
"How long before we find out?" Ryder whispered, reaching across to grab Marley's hand. She looked down and squeezed Ryder's hand tightly, bringing it up to her mouth to kiss the back of his hand.
"Two minutes." She whispered, looking up into Ryder's eyes and letting a giant smile take over her face. "Two minutes and we'll find out whether we're gonna be parents." Marley grinned and leaned into Ryder, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Holy shit," Ryder whispered, kissing Marley's head lightly. "Mar, just let this sink in… we could be parents in less than a minute." Ryder rubbed Marley's arm lightly and stared ahead at the wall in front of him.
"I know." Marley said slowly, frowning ahead of her like Ryder before looking up at her husband. "This… is just completely insane." She laughed and shook her head, kissing Ryder's shoulder lightly.
"Has two minutes been up yet?" Ryder asked loudly. Marley shook her head against his shoulder, looking up into his eyes.
"I don't so – count to thirty and it should be." Marley said slowly, shaking with anticipation. So Ryder started counting aloud, just under his breath.
"…28, 29, 30!" Ryder screamed, pushing Marley's shoulder lightly and standing up frantically, putting his hand on the door knob, ready to open it.
Marley got to her feet and put her hand on top of Ryder's, looking his face up and down worriedly. Ryder raised his eyebrows at her and pressed down on the door knob. The door opened slightly. "Wait, Ryd… let me, alright?" Marley whispered, moving closer to her husband and kissing his cheek lightly.
"Alright." Ryder dropped his hand off of the door and it flew open, hitting the wall behind it where the towels were hung. Ryder smiled as Marley slowly stepped into the bathroom and picked up the little stick off of the cabinet. She stared at it and blinked a few times – looking so… disappointed.
All of his hope flooded out of him in an instant and Ryder sighed at yet another failed attempt. He watched Marley as she stared at the stick for a second longer, her eyes lighting up with happiness. "What-"
Marley's face suddenly broke out into a large smile and she put her opposite hand over her mouth, too excited to say anything.
She was that Ryder was looking at her weirdly, with his eyebrows raised and Marley's smile grew bigger. She shoved the small little stick in front of Ryder's face where there was, in fact, two little red lines next to a blue plus.
"No…" Ryder smiled, taking the pregnancy test out of Marley's hand and staring at it, shaking it slightly – remembering not to touch the side where Marley would have peed on it. "Are-are you serious?" He grinned, looking between the small stick and Marley's excited face. She nodded at him frantically, biting on her knuckle to stop from screaming from excitement.
Ryder threw the stick on the ground and opened his arms out. Marley jumped straight into Ryder's arms, digging her face into his shoulders. "Oh, my God! Ryder!" She screeched, pulling back from his hug and taking his face in her hands. "We're gonna be parents!" She screamed, leaning forward and kissing him softly.
"I know!" Ryder shouted, grabbing Marley around her waist and lifting her in the air and spinning in her in a circle in the small corridor. "Little Mommy Marley," Ryder grinned, setting her down on the ground again, before quickly scooping her up into a giant hug.
"Little Daddy Ryder," Marley whispered against his shoulder, closing her eyes to try and hold in all of her happiness. She wanted to scream and cry… but that'd just be plain embarrassing and perhaps a total overreaction. But oh my God, she was going to be a mom!
Ryder untangled himself from Marley and touched her hair lightly, a bigger and brighter smile across his face. This day just seemed to be the best day ever – almost as good as his wedding day, he decided. Almost.
He bent down slightly and got onto his knees, putting his hands over Marley's stomach. Marley laughed and put her hands in Ryder's hair, running her fingers through the soft locks of hair. "You know, I don't think it'll be able to hear you – I doubt it's barely even a fetus." She whispered, watching her husband lean forward and kiss her stomach.
"I don't care." He whispered, running his hands over Marley's stomach. "There's a person in there, Marley. Someone is in your stomach… and-and we made it." Ryder whispered, shaking his head. "This is unbelievable."
"You better believe it." Marley grinned and knelt down in front of Ryder, resting her knees on his. She put her hand on his cheek and traced her finger along his jaw. "We're gonna be parents… I'm so excited." Marley leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss onto Ryder's nose.
"I love you." He whispered, running his hands up and down her back slowly. Marley rubbed her nose against Ryder's and held his shoulders tightly.
"I love you, too, Ryder daddy."
