Chapter 14 baby babies
" Rufus," I said with a hint of urgency.
" Yeah what is it Lil?" he said walking into the room from the kitchen. All I needed to do was hold up the torn piece of plastic and his face went white. " Is that our...?" he didn't even need to finish, I just nodded.
I sat down on the bed and just stared at it. I didn't know what this would mean, or if anything would even happen from it. I just knew that this could complicate everything yet again. " Rufus, are you ok?" I asked him softly.
When I saw his face he had tears in his eyes. " What's wrong?" I asked again thinking he was disappointed at what had just happened.
" I don't know," Rufus explained, " but I think this is a sign from god of a new beginning. Our first child ended in true heartbreak. Maybe this is a sign he wants us to start over just like we want to. We're right where we were 20 years ago, only things are going the right way this time."
I realized he was right, I wouldn't mind having another child, especially with him. It would definitely complicate things, but they wouldn't be impossible. " Let's not tell anyone right away," I managed to say, " Let's see if this is even real first."
" Whatever you want to do this time I'm here for you," he said.
" I love you Rufus and I want to have this baby and keep it this time," I told him.
" That's great Lil, I feel like we're young again," Rufus said.
" Me to," I replied, laughing through my tears.
We hugged and kissed and did just about everything else until it was time for me to leave. We bid each other a romantic goodbye and I stopped at the drug store on my way home to pick up a test. Now came the two hardest things, waiting, and keeping this from Serena.
