Hey dearies. I know its been a while. My personal life decided to flip on its axis and I am still getting used to it. Anyway I can't say this is my favorite oneshot, but hopefully you all enjoy it. Let me know what you think. Oh and for those who are waiting for the shifter mates sequel, have no fear I am writing it and I know how I want it to go, I just have to complete it. Lol sounds so simple right?
Vicki didn't know what to do. Well, that was a lie. She knew she had to go to a pharmacy to buy a test, and then to call a doctor when she got her results (because she knew what that stupid little stick was going to say), and then she was going to have to find a way to get in touch with Steve. However, for right now Vicki was simply trying to stop her stomach from forcing back up everything she was trying to force down.
When Vicki was finally able to take a breath she cleaned herself up and exited the bathroom. She was glad that she returned to her and Steve's house every morning to get dressed for work, or else she wouldn't have been able to hide her condition from Dan or Mary. Not that she didn't want them to know, but she figured she should be sure before telling anyone. She also figured that maybe Steve should be the first to know considering that he was her husband. Vicki took a deep breath and then got dressed.
After work Vicki made a stop at a local pharmacy and returned home. No way was she taking this test any place where Dan or Mary might discover it. After Vicki did as the instructions dictated she walked out of the bathroom and right into the hall. In the time she had to wait she decided to imagine what life would be like if the test was positive. Vicki looked down the hall at the 2 unused bedrooms and the home office. Mary's old bedroom would work best, thought Vicki considering it was right next to the master bedroom. The furniture was in good condition. The paint however, would have to be redone. Vicki thought possibly a light green and perhaps a pale yellow would be appropriate. If her and Steve wanted they could even chose a theme, perhaps animals, thought Vicki with a grin.
She closed her eyes as she imagined the sounds of feet on the staircase. One set definitely belonging to an adult the second belonging to a... The alarm going off broke Vicki out of her daydreams. She returned to the master bathroom and turned off the alarm. She then picked u the two tests, she wanted to be sure, and let out a surprised sound. POSITIVE, read both tests. Vicki had expected those results, but she was still a little shell shocked. Vicki picked up her cell phone, still in shock, and hit 2 on speed dial. She got voicemail, but she hadn't honestly expected him to answer.
"Hey Steve babe its me. Uhh look when you get this messages, give me a call. I have to tell you something. Nothings wrong. Umm I love you," and with that Vicki hung up.
She was pregnant and her husband was overseas (well, she assumed it was overseas). Vicki let out a breath and went to lie down. What was she supposed to do now? She took two tests, they were both positive, and she had called Steve. Vicki vaguely thought that she should call her doctor and set up an appointment, but for the time being she was still trying to wrap her head around the news. She was pregnant and her and Steve had only talked about children when talking about the future and only in a theoretical sense. Well, we better get ready, thought Vicki, the future just arrived.
I admit part way through this oneshot I was tempted to make it that the tests were negative and Vicki would be faced with unexpected disappointment and then I was like wait if Steve is already gone, how could she get pregnant without him being there and my mind and my Steve muse yelled NO!
