RICKY'S POV:
I made my way into the diner for my shift the next morning, pulling my bag from over my shoulder, tying my apron around my waist as I did…
"Morning, love" Irene greeted me
"Morning" I mirrored "do you have five minutes to chat?"
"Course, darl" she replied "what's going on?"
Moving to my handbag, I pulled out my purse and pulled out the scan picture, handing it to her…
"Is this what I think it is?" she questioned
I nodded my head, signalling yes… "Baby boy Braxton, due in five months time"
I chuckled as she squealed and hugged me tightly… "Congratulations"
"What's all the noise about?" Roo asked as she walked into the kitchen
"Ricky's pregnant. Sorry" Irene replied, smiling at me apologetically
"Oh wow, congratulations, darling" Roo proclaimed, pulling me in for a hug too
"Thank you" I stated, sighing contentedly as Irene handed me my scan picture back
"You're glowing" Irene admitted "and I normally guess these things. How did I not this time?"
I chuckled and put my scan picture back into my purse… "Where did you need me?"
"Front of house please, darl" she informed me
I made my way home that afternoon to find Brax in the kitchen, putting away the shopping… "You've been shopping?"
"Yeah, and I got everything that was on the list" he informed me
"But I told you I was gonna go this afternoon" I replied
"Well now this is done, and we've both got the afternoon off, we can sit down and put our feet up" he explained "with this…"
"You better have bought a tub each, Braxton" I proclaimed, taking the ice cream he held out to me
"I did, and there's more in the freezer" he replied
Smiling at him warmly, I leant up onto my tiptoes and kissed him passionately… "I love you"
"I love you too" he mirrored
