What's Wrong With Me?

Part 7 - I'm Sorry

Tim knelt down beside the couch she was laying on, he put the test next to him on the floor.

T: baby, Luce. Baby I need you to wake up, he said softly, rubbing her back.

L: mm, what?, she asked, still half asleep.

T: Luce I need you to wake up, he said, getting a bit more desperate.

L: what's wrong? Why do you look like that?, she asked, sitting up now.

T: baby can you explain this?, he said, holding the test in his hand.

L: um, uh, um, she stuttered, frantically looking between the test and Tim's face.

T: baby?, he asked, sitting on the couch next to her, close enough that their knees were touching.

L: t-that's not m-mine, she lied, her voice shaky while she fiddled with the hem of the blanket.
 
T: Luce? Tell me the truth, he said.

Then Lucy broke.

L: i-it's mine okay, I'm p-pregnant. A-And I don't know what to do. And I-I don't know how to feel, she said, silent tears running down her cheeks.

T: baby look at me, he said softly, guiding her chin to meet his eyes.

T: you don't have to say anything okay, come here, he said, opening his arms for her.

L: I'm s-so sorry T-Tim, she sobbed, holding onto him like a life line.

L: I didn't m-mean for this to hap-happen, she cried.

T: hey, it's okay. This is amazing baby!, he said excitedly.

L: you're happy?, she asked looking at him.

T: of course I am baby, you won't believe how happy I am!, he said, holding both her hands in his. Lucy couldn't even say anything, she just cried harder. She launched herself at Tim, her arms wrapping tightly around his neck.

L: I love you so much Tim, she cried.

T: awh, I love you too baby, the both of you, he added with a grin. Lucy giggled, wiping her eyes.

T: you okay?, he asked, putting her to sit in his lap.

L: yeah, happy tears now, she said sniffling.

Tim kissed her forehead.

T: why were you so sad when I found out?, he asked her.

L: I didn't think that you would want a baby, we never really fully discussed kids yet so I had no idea how you were going to react, she explained.

L: but you figured it out before I even got to tell you, she said.

L: I was even gonna make you a whole gift basket thing with a onesie and a pasifier and the pregnancy test, she explained, a little disappointed.

T: oh, I'm sorry I ruined your surprise, he apologized, tucking her hair behind her ears.

L: it's okay. At least you know, she said and pulled him in for a kiss.

L: how did you even find the test anyway?, she said, picking it up from the couch.

T: I was packing some stuff in your purse. I was gonna take you to the doctor, since you were feeling so sick, while you were sleeping so you wouldn't refuse, he said.

T: then I felt it at the very bottom or your purse. I didn't know what it was so I pulled it out and now we're here, he said smiling.

L: you're so happy, she said, looking at him with heart eyes.

T: you wouldn't believe it, he said, before kissing her.

L: we have a little star in the making, our little creation, she said, looking down at her still flat stomach.

T: I could already imagine their tiny face, he said placing his hands on Lucy's belly.

They sat there like that for an hour. Just being present in the moment. Well, until Tim asked.

T: when should we tell everyone?, he asked Lucy, his fingers subconsciously making hearts on her belly.

L: as soon as possible. I mean it'll be obvious right? And we'll have to make up an excuse every time I feel sick or can't work or something, she pointed out.

T: good point. How about Saturday? We have two days to get everything we need, he suggested.

L: that sounds perfect, I already scheduled an appointment for tomorrow, she told him.

L: so we'll get to know how far along I am, and we'll even get to see the baby!, she squealed.

T: for real?

Lucy just nodded her head excitedly.

T: what time?

L: one o' clock. I thought that we could go in for half day and stay home for the rest of the day.

T: that's great, he said.

T: I love you baby, thank you for making me a dad, he said, pulling her impossibly closer.

L: I love you too my love, she said, leaning back into his touch.

They spent the rest of that even gushing over the baby and talking about potential name ideas, nursery decorations, who the baby would look like. Everything was perfect.
