Just when we thought things we going so well, I get a bomb dropped on me. A massive bomb.
I'M PREGNANT.....
I don't know how I am going to tell Troy. I love him so much, and I don't want to hurt him. Things were going so well between us. We have been dating now for six months. We have told each other everything. I know about that Gabriella girl that he dated in high school. I even met her. Troy and I drove to Stanford, he wanted to tell her in person that he had moved on and found someone else. But she had been thrown out of Stanford, which we didn't know. So Troy bought us tickets to fly to Albuquerque. We stayed with his parents, and strangely enough, his parents were proud of him for moving on. But Troy had to deal with the fact that Chad was now dating Gabriella. But I digress.
Troy and I know each other so well, but I still don't know if he is going to be able to cope with this. Maybe I should just get rid of the problem before he ever finds out. But I'm not like that. I just can't get rid of this little baby that is growing inside of me. Its half Troy, he has to be part of the decision. If he wants me to get rid of it, then that's what I will do. I will do anything to be with Troy forever.
Oh god, what do I do? What do I do? I don't know how to tell him. Should I just come out with it? Or should I ease him into the subject? He is doing so well a college, and so am I, I don't want to jeopardise our futures. But at the same time, this will be our future. Our future together. I should just tell him.
"Troy. Troy, honey. Can you come here for a minute?" I ask him, as if nothing is wrong, like it is just a casual chat.
"Sure babe, what is it?" he replies. Babe, what a word to choose. It's ironic.
"I have something to tell you. Something really, really important. It may be bad, or it may be good. But I need you to keep an open mind at the moment, ok?" Wow, this is a lot harder than I thought. I have no idea how he is going to react to this. It's just killing me.
"Alright, I will keep an open mind. But I'm worried, is everything ok?" he asks, he has no idea what's coming.
"That's the thing, I'm not ok. I'm... I'm... I'm pregnant." There, just get it out in the open.
"Umm.... pregnant....wow... THAT'S GREAT NEWS!!!! I can't believe it! I'm going to be a Dad!!! Oh my GOD!!! Wow!! This is big!! I am so proud of you honey!!! Can I feel it?" Phew, I am so glad he is excited about this. This makes everything a whole lot easier.
"Sure you can feel it, but I am only six weeks along, so you probably won't feel anything yet."
Troy carefully rolled up my shirt, like touching it was going to break it. He placed his right hand carefully on my belly, whilst holding up my shirt with his left. He slowly brought his face to my belly and gently kissed it. Awww, my two babies, my Troy and my Baby Troy! I couldn't be more relieved or happier.
"There's a little half me and half you in there! Wow, this is great!" Troy says with so much joy and passion.
Troy looks up at me, still kneeling on the ground, one hand on my belly, then other still holding my shirt. He looks up through his eyelashes, and looks me straight in the eyes. He couldn't be more gorgeous at this moment.
"Larny, will you marry me?" I was wrong, he is even more gorgeous now!
"YES!! YES, of course I will marry you Troy!! But it has to be soon, otherwise we will have a little guest at the wedding!!" Wow, a mother and a wife!
"We'll go now. We'll fly to Vegas, and get married tonight. Come on, let's get packing."
"Troy calm down. We have a few months. I won't be showing for another month or two, so we have a bit of time. And I don't mind if I have a bit of a bump when I walk down the aisle. Then everyone will know how much we love each other! Or if you want, we can go to the courthouse, and get married there. But at least wait until tomorrow."
"Alright, whatever you want! If you want a big flash wedding, we will have a big flash wedding. If you want to go to the courthouse tomorrow, we will go tomorrow. Anything for my babies!"
"Can we go see my parents and tell them the news? I would rather do it in person, rather than over the phone."
"sure babe, whatever you want!"
"My parents live in Australia."
"THEN IT'S OFF TO AUSTRALIA WE GO!"
"I love you Troy!"
"I love you too Larny. And I love you too my little baby!"
