"I'm so nervous, Justin... what if she gets mad?" I panicked, playing with my fingers nervously. "Don't be, babe. She's wanted a grandchild for the longest time." Justin soothed, placing his hand on my thigh.
We were on our way to tell Pattie that Justin and I were expecting a baby in the Spring. I was really nervous about how she was going to take it, we were still young, but it was what we wanted. This baby wasn't an accident, we planned it, and we were both over the moon when we saw my third pregnancy test had come back positive.
I was about 3 months along, now. We'd managed to keep it on the down low, not telling a soul about it - Pattie would be the first. We wanted to keep it quiet for as long as possible, well, until we couldn't hide my stomach, or ignore rumours any longer.
Arriving at Pattie's house, I exhaled loudly and stepped out of the car, Justin coming to meet me at the front of it, linking his fingers with mine, "Relax."
I exhaled and nodded, "Let's just get it over with."
We sat and made small talk, catching up on what had been going on in the last month or so since we'd last seen eachother. I loved Pattie, she was such a bubbly soul and she always managed to stay happy, I really did admire her.
"So mom, we've got some news." Justin announced, a smile on his face. My stomach dropped, and my palms grew sweaty, can I be swallowed up into the ground, please?
"Oh yeah? What is it?" She asked, setting her mug down on the coffee table, giving us her full attention.
"(Y/N) and I, we're expecting a baby." He said, putting his arm around me.
She sat silent for a moment, only making my nerves build - great, she hated me now. She thought the worst of me, she was disappointed in Justin, shit shit shit.
"Mom?"
"I'm going to be a grandma?!" She exclaimed, a smile appearing on her face.
My stomach settled and I sighed in relief, smiling at her, "You are."
"Oh my God, you guys!" She grinned, standing up to hug us, "How far along are you?"
"Around 3 months, you're the first to know." I responded, patting my stomach lightly.
"I can't believe it, my baby is having a baby!" She squealed and pulled Justin into another hug, kissing his cheeks, making him whine.
"You two are going to be amazing." She complimented, before turning into the doting grandma and starting to talk about plans and essentials. Justin kissed my temple and rested his hand on my thigh, everything was going to be fine.
