A/N: Ok, I've kinda neglected this story and I apologise. To make up for it I've written this rather pathetic excuse for a chapter so Ihope it's ok. I'm working on the next chapter but Writer's Block is paying me a visit.....
Pregnant. The word echoed in his head. No, this wasn't possible. They'd used protection, they'd been safe, hadn't they? Then he remembered their first time in the dance studio across the hall. He hadn't been expecting anything to happen so he hadn't been prepared. It had never entered his head that she might end up pregnant.
Honestly, he didn't know what to do. Half of him was telling him to run, to get away from the situation as fast as he could. The other half told him to stay. To take her into his arms and tell her he loved her and that it'd all work out. He looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes. He knew she was telling the truth; she would never plan something like this. She had her whole life ahead of her, to fall pregnant would throw out all her plans.
"Are you sure?" he asked softly. He saw something flash through her eyes, something that looked like slight relief.
"I'm positive," she replied quietly. Her eyes searched his for a sign of how he was going to handle this shock. He nodded his head at her words and brought his hand to his face. He rubbed his mouth and chin, trying to think of something, anything to say to her. He looked her in the eye and pulled her into a warm embrace.
Andie smiled softly as she wrapped her arms around Blake, holding him so tight that he thought she'd leave imprints. His hands caressed her back as he burrowed his face into her neck, breathing in her scent. He felt her tremble in his arms and knew she was crying, whether from sadness or relief he wasn't sure. He knew that she worried how he would react, that's just what she would do. He wondered for a moment how long she had been sitting on this news, then what she was planning to do. Would she keep it, would she give it up for adoption, or would she get rid of it?
He pressed a kiss to her forehead as her trembles faded. Slowly she pulled away from him and gazed into his eyes.
"I'm sorry," she whispered sadly. He knew what she was apologising for, for falling pregnant.
"It's not your fault so don't blame yourself," he said quickly.
"You probably hate me right now," she mumbled.
"I could never hate you! I love you Andie. And I know we weren't planning for it, but this baby, it'll be an adventure, something that will connect us for life," he couldn't believe that she thought he could hate her. He'd always wanted a family, granted he hadn't imagined starting one until he was thirty but this was the hand fate had dealt him and this was the hand he would play.
"You mean that?" Andie asked. She sincerely hoped that he spoke the truth, she didn't know if she could handle any lies right now.
"Of course I do," Blake smiled. He pulled her close and placed a tender kiss to her lips before wrapping his arms around her and holding her in a loving embrace. Andie snuggled into his arms, grateful for having the love of such a wonderful man.
