Oh my gosh, seriously? I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated. I have really been wanting to upload, though, trust me, but my laptop broke so I haven't had any writing time. I fixed it tonight though and I didn't want to go to bed until I wrote you guys another chapter because it's been way too long. I got some readers wanting Lea to be pregnant… well, I have no idea if she will be! You better read to find out!

A Monchele Romance

Chapter 13- Surprise, Surprise

Lea's eyes were filled with panic and now that she had put the fact in his mind, Cory's were too. He knew it would only make her more panicked, though, and wanted to be strong for her.

"Lea, baby, calm down…" He hushed her gently and stroked her hair. Honestly, though, he didn't know what to say. Cory needed some time to think, and he knew the only way he'd get it. "Lay down. Go back to sleep. It's the morning after our anniversary and our first time together… just relax. Please Lea; don't worry about this right now."

Finally, he persuaded her to lie back down and put his arms around her. While she slept, he would think. Even though she was completely frantic, after a long time she couldn't help but fall asleep in his warm arms.

'Time to think,' Cory thought to himself. He had no idea what to think about, though. He already knew the main facts. After considering this, Cory decided that if he knew the facts, he should just list them out.

One: Lea is extremely sensitive because of Theo. Two: I love her, she loves me, and I'll do anything for her. Three: Yesterday was our one-month Anniversary and we made love to each other for the first time. (It was the most amazing experience of my life.) Four: We weren't paying attention to some important things and now she might be pregnant. Five: If she's pregnant, it means a lot of things: everyone will eventually find out that we're together, we might get kicked off of the show, we won't have any more privacy, and I'll have to be a father.

Cory hadn't realized how slowly and carefully he was thinking until Lea stirred in his arms. Looking at the clock, he realized that it had probably been about two hours since Lea fell asleep.

"Cory?" Lea woke up, her eyelids slowly fluttering open.

"Lea I think we should find out. It should be now. What's the point in waiting? I just…I want to get it over with."

Swallowing, Lea slowly nodded, knowing he was right. Putting the truth off would do nothing except for possibly make everything worse.

The couple got out of bed silently and got dressed. After they ate Cory put on a hoodie just in case someone recognized him and told Lea he'd go to the drugstore and she could stay.

Lea couldn't sit down. She was way too worried. As soon as Cory got back she started to feel even worse and had to sit down for a few minutes. Finally, she took the pregnancy tests from him and went into the bathroom, shutting the door.

After what seemed like ages, Lea still wasn't out. Cory knocked on the door a few times and eventually put his ear against the door, trying to find out what was going on. All he could hear was…crying?

Cory was worried. "Lea, open the door. Please just unlock it. What's wrong?"

Once he had given her a few more soothing pleads, he heard a click as she unlocked the door. Immediately opening it, he stood frozen. On the counter, right in front of him, were four different tests. He looked at the first one- positive. He looked at the second one- positive. He looked at the third one- positive. Cory's heart was barely beating anymore as he looked at the final one- positive.

Cory dropped to his knees and hugged Lea to his chest, trying not to seem like he was panicking as he rubbed her back.

"Lea, sh…please, stop crying baby…I hate when you cry…"

After about ten minutes, Lea couldn't cry anymore if she wanted to. She finally looked up at Cory with her puffy red eyes. "There's nothing we can do, so why am I crying? It's not helping at all… we have to do something."

"Wait, Lea," Cory said, cutting her off. "Don't have an abortion."

"No, I know. That would be cruel. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I killed a child for our mistake. It's just like killing it if it were alive…" She frowned.

"Good," Cory nodded, glad that they both agreed on that.

"I just meant that we need to figure out what we're going to do. Eventually, everyone is going to know. Cory, I just don't know what to do!"

Lea can't help but break into another fit of sobs. She needed to feel his arms around her, needed the safety he never failed to provide for her. Immediately, she moved into his lap, burying her face in his hoodie. Cory wrapped his arms around her tightly, rocking her back and forth to soothe her.

"Hey," Cory whispered. "Don't worry…we're going to get through this. Okay? I know we will. Do you want to know why?"

This got Lea to slowly look up at him. "Why?"

Cory's voice was so gentle and loving. He pulled her in for a soft kiss before saying, "Don't you remember? We love each other…"
