To the Two of Us (Anthony Ramos x OC)

Fifty-One

[Regular life]

Anthony was sitting on the couch, bored. The front door opened slowly and closed quietly. A dejected Malia walked over to the couch. "Lia, what's wrong?" he asked, standing up and touching her cheek.

She let out a loud sob and threw herself in his arms. "I'm not pregnant!" she cried. "I'm just sick!"

Anthony' eyes widened. He hadn't even considered pregnancy when she said she was feeling sick. But as she broke down in tears while he held her, he could see that she wanted a baby. The fact that she wasn't pregnant sent her into a mess of tears.

"Shh... don't cry, Lili. It's okay. We can try again another day." he assured her, carrying her bridal style to their bed. He let her cry until she fell asleep. Even then, she still hiccuped every now and again. Anthony heard his phone ding. He turned to see a message in the guy's group chat.
