Alex walked up to the front door of their apartment. She knew she had to tell Maggie. It was only fair. She walked in and found Maggie sleeping on the couch. I don't want to wake her, Alex thought. Instead, she went over and placed a kiss on her forehead. This caused Maggie to startle awake.
"Babe? I didn't think you were coming back tonight."
"I know. But I need to talk to you about something. But we can do it in the morning if you're tired." Alex stated. At this, Maggie sat up and patted the couch next to her for Alex to sit down.
"Alex. If you need to talk, then we will talk. What's up?" Maggie looked at her with nothing but love in her eyes.
"You know how we were talking about kids earlier."
"Yes," Maggie replied hesitantly, not sure where this was going.
"Well you said you didn't want kids. And I was wondering if you were ever going to want kids." Maggie turned her head away from Alex.
"I don't know Alex. Why are you asking so much? Do you?"
"Of course I want kids Maggie,"
"Is that why you went to Kara's? Because I said I didn't want kids?"
"No," Maggie looked at her with an arched eyebrow. "Okay, yes it is. I didn't know how do deal with it.
"First off, you need to talk to me about these things. Why didn't you?"
"I don't know Maggie. I'm just scared."
"Scared about what. You need to tell me Alex. Whatever it is. We will work though it. I promise." Maggie took Alex's hands in hers and looked her in the eye. Alex decided she had to tell her right now.
"Maggie," Maggie gave Alex loving eyes encouraging her to continue. "I'm pregnant," Alex barely whispered out. Maggie sat back a little. Still shocked by the news. She doesn't even know what to do. What to say. Or how to react. The only words that come out of her mouth are, "oh."
"Maggie, please say something." Alex saw the shocked expression in her face. This scared her more than anything.
"Ummm... okay. I wasn't expecting that."
"Is that a bad thing?" Alex questioned. She was getting more and more concerned by the seconds.
"How long have you known?"
"Two weeks." Maggie shot a glare up at Alex. Alex could see in her eyes that there was confusion and anger. But more confusion. The anger came out when she talked.
"Two weeks?!? And you didn't think to tell me? What the hell Alex. We are married. Married people tell each other things." Maggie basically yelled.
"I know. It's just we've never talked about this before. And I wanted to test the waters. Then you said you didn't want kids and I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry." Alex looked and Maggie, but Maggie would not look at her she just sat on the couch and looked down while she played with her hands.
"I need time to process this," Maggie barely even whispered. And with that, Maggie was out the door. Alex curled up in a ball on the couch. She didn't expect this reaction. She knew Maggie maybe wouldn't be happy, but she didn't expect this.
"Maggie wait," she cried, but it was to late. Maggie was gone.
