Gloria's POV.
When I saw him I felt super nervous, and worried, I was tryin to figure out how to tell him the news I just got but I wasn't sure how or when, but I when he hugged me and kissed me, all I know is the world and all our problems melted away. I couldn't believe I finally had him back and I know I wasn't gunna be letting him go anytime soon. I missed him more than words could describe, I love him, its so apparent now than it ever was, I guess distance does make the heart grow fonder. We're lovin life, and I didn't want this feeling to ever end, and for a while, just a while I felt so happy, and worry free, not a care in the world and I forgot all my problems.
After a wonderful dinner with the boys we sent them on their way and we finally had alone time where I wasn't cooking or cleaning, or entertaining. We sat on the couch cuddling, it felt like right and like life was complete, we had everything and more, or so it felt like at the time. I'm an honest believer that everything happens for a reason, or so I thought I was, until now, now I was nervous and had no clue how or why this had happened, I swore we were always careful, we calculated everything, no matter what we had it calculated. I was mentally unprepared for this conversation I was going to have to bring up, sooner rather than later, We we're ready for this, but is anyone really ready.. But we weren't, we couldn't… like how, how would we do this, living the lives we live? Suddenly the phone rings and relief rushes through me, saved by the phone. Tim had answered, I could only hear his side of the conversation, but he was nodding, and making weird sounds, I could only chop up to him agreeing with whatever the person had been saying on the other side of this conversation, finally he hung up with a huge smile on his face.
Tim- Curlys getting released in two days!
He said excitedly, smiling like idiots we were, and the thought hit me, maybe, just maybe we were ready to be parents, now to only get the courage to tell Tim. Taking a deep breathe I figure nows as good a time as any.
Me- Tim… We need to talk… Maybe… uhhhh… Maybe you should sit down….
The smile fell from his face, looking worried, oh maybe I shouldn't have said it like that…
Me- Its nothing bad…. Well… depending… uhh well just sit down
He nodded and sat, still wary, and unsure of how he should or was feeling, or maybe it was just me that wasn't sure taking another deep breathe I looked at Tim, just say it! Ughh why can't I just spit it out hes probably killing himself over their with worry closing my eyes I finally find it in me to say it outloud, for the first time, I didn't even repeat it when the doctor told me this morning..
Me- Okay… here it goes… Tim..
Oh blast why am I so worried, Tim will still love me… wont he? Uggh stop doubting… stop worrying just say it
Me- Impregnant
I said super fast to just get it out, I could see the confusion written on his face..
Tim- Im sorry what was that? Say it again, but slower would ya?
Me- I'm… I'm pregnant Tim.. About 2 months along.
He looked like it was about to faint, worried at how he was going to react, I turned and started walking out of the room, Tim runs up and grabbing my wrist and spinning me around,
Tim- Hey baby girl where you goin so fast?
He said with a goofy grin on his face, maybe.. just maybe he was excited? Is that the look in his eyes. I guess time will tell if he continues to feel this way.
TIMS POV
Today has been a great day I got out of the slammer, and soon Curly would be too, I've been thinking about expanding my gang, we need more numbers, after the debriefing/dinner I had been thinking we may not need it, not as long as I've got my girl by my side, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea regardless, all od a sudden I looked at my girl, somethings botherin her, she never tells me I should sit down to hear some news, what could be so bad, she had me worrying, what is going on? Did she leave me for stupid Curtis while I was in the Slammer? All of these maybes going through my head, waiting for her to say anything was takin forever.
Glo-I'mpregnant
Did I hear that right?! She said pregnant… and her in the same sentence
Me- I'm sorry what was that? Say it again but slower would ya?
Gloria- I'm… Pregnant Tim… about 2 months
Okay I did hear that right.. wait 2 months… that's before I went in… that means… I'm going to be a daddy?!
I grab her wrist and spin her around as shes trying to run away, Stupid Tim! Why couldn't I just show her my excitement to begin with.
Me- Hey baby girl where you goin so fast?
I ask her, I am actually really excited, and maybe I am right to recruit some more, so I can step back and focus on her and our child.
Me- I wont go anywhere if you don't baby, just tell me what we need to do, what needs to be prepared for the baby
I said with a silly grin on my face, I cannot wait for this. Kissing her forehead I mumble into her I cannot wait to start this adventure with you
Looking down at her,
Me- When can we tell the boys? Their gunna wonder why im stepping back, and why where gunna be recruitin asap
