Adison's POV:

"Darling are you done in there?" Shawn calls impatiently outside of the locked bathroom door, as I set down the test on the counter, having to wait the three minutes before I get my results.

My knees are shaking dangerously fast because of the intense crying I just endured and the fact that there's so much suspense in only 3 minutes.

Why can't It work instantly? Like magic?

"Just give it some time shawn," I whisper, not confident he was even able to hear, his lanky figure shifting anxiously outside the door.

"I have less of a year left of college," he leans up against the door, mumbling to me, "and practically a guaranteed job as a architect, so if you are pregnant, we still have a chance of living a normal life." I can almost see him, with his shoulders pressed to the door with his eyes closed, trying his hardest just to figure this out.

If only my life was normal shawn.

"Maybe," I press my cheek to the door, not wanting more than anything to be able to be in his arms as he whispers such hopes, hearing his heart beat.

"Come on addy, you need to have more confidence in our life together than that." His breathing is heavy, not of anger but of defeat.

"Hun, trust me I have confidence, it's just the suspense of this god damn test. This can't go any slower." I pick it up again, still nothing, so I set it back down.

"Hey shawn can you promise me something?" I trace my finger on the door, closing my eyes.

"Anything babygirl," i can hear his breathing loud and clear, making me relax the slightest.

"Don't let me get in the way of what you want to do with yourself and your life, I don't want to be a burden on your life plan." I press the base of my palms to my eyes, breathing shakily trying to predict what he's going to say.

There's no longer comfortable breathing coming from the other side, or the image of him in my brain, it's like the words I have just spoken caused him to cease all actions.

"Adison," he sighs melancholily, trying the door, but fails remembering it's locked.

"Why can't you just promise that?" I don't dare to look at the test, figuring it's probably done calculating by now.

"Because," he breathes out, "you could never be a burden on me, no matter how hard you try, or how hard things get okay? There's no way you could be a burden."

The kindness and support he's showing me makes my heart melt in some shawn themed puddle, causing a smile that shows the love I feel cross my face.

"Now stop worrying," he laughs, standing up from leaning on the door, "because literally there isn't anything to worry about."

"Okay," i close my eyes, still smiling, "i think the test is done."

There's no longer fear or saddness towards this test but excitement, I couldn't be more anxious to look at something.

"Can we look at it together?" His voice cracks from the happiness that runs through it, making me smile wider.

"Of course," i twist the lock and he comes bursting in, kissing my cheek and walking towards the counter top.

I follow quickly behind him, wanting to know so badly what my future holds.

"Positive," he whispers, out of shock, "positive," he says a little louder, making teary eye contact.

My heart jumps and a flood of tears makes their way to my eyes, "oh my god," i say smiling joyfully, "oh my god shawn."

He walks quickly over to show me, tears of happiness running down my cheeks, and his glossed with them.

"I'm going to be a dad," he says while pulling me in to some sort of victory hug, "this is amazing," he practically laughs,

I bury my head into his comforting chest, crying, knowing that he'll be here for me through everything. It's strange to think I am putting so much trust into someone that some would say Is a stranger.

"Remember I asked you if you could relive a beautiful moment in your life again, what would it be?" He says, hugging me tighter and lifting me off the ground onto the counter.

"Yes," i cry while nodding.

"My moment," he kisses my neck lightly, and then my cheek, "is the moment I found out the one I love is having my baby."
