Chapter 41 : Confirmation
It was about 3 a.m that next morning when I woke up from what had felt like a much needed nap. I glanced over on the other side of my bed to see Omar sleeping peacefully. I smirked.
Tree branches strongly tapped the outside of my bedroom window as the strong winds continued to blow outside. The storm had developed much more since the weather channels' first official warning, it was officially a hurricane.
I slowly climbed out of bed and peered outside the window to look at what was unveiling outside. The parking lot in my complex had began to slightly flood which worried me the most. I didn't want my car to end up destroyed but I didn't have any control over the situation.
Mother Nature knew she was a bitch, literally. I began thinking about how she had fooled me with this pregnancy situation. I mean what was birth control even for? I had been on top of it completely especially after becoming sexually active again.
I decided to look up nearby OB-GYN doctors in the area that had availability next week. I'd have to wait until the storm passed completely but I refused to wait any longer than that. I wasn't even sure of what was going on with this situation so I needed answers, we needed answers.
As I continued to peer out of the window at the scenery I felt two strong masculine hands slightly cup my waist from behind me.
"What are you doing up?," Omar asked quietly. I could hear the sleepiness in his voice.
"Couldn't stay asleep," I replied casually.
"What's on your mind?"
"Everything."
"Like?," he asked, insisting I explain my feelings.
"This hurricane is getting terrible, the lights are still off, I'm pregnant and I don't know what I should do about Jax. I'm all over the place," I whined.
"Baby come here," he insisted.
He gently grabbed my hand and led me to the couch. I plopped down tiredly and faced him.
"I know it's a lot going on right now. Relaxing is easier said than done, but let's figure this all out together. Take a deep breath."
I inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, it was a good strategy when trying to cope with stress. As I took in my breaths Omar rubbed my back to comfort me. His hands sent goosebumps up my spine.
My hormones had began to rage more than normal, which I assumed could possibly be pregnancy related. I wanted him here and now.
"I love you," I cooed. I began rubbing his hard torso with one of my hands while looking him in the eyes as I gently bit my lip.
"I love you too, but no sex," he responded.
My jaw dropped to the floor as I stared back at him trying to register what he just said.
"I'm sorry, what?," I asked curiously.
I crossed my arms across my chest and glared at him with a raised eyebrow. I mean hold on, since when did this man turn ME down for sex?
"You know I think you're the sexiest person ever. I just don't want to hurt you or anything given the situation," he replied. His face had a very genuine look on it so suddenly my irritation faded.
"You mean like because of the possible baby?," I asked. I dropped my head a little feeling somehow disappointed.
"Yes. I actually slept on everything and I want this baby. I know it's soon but I can become ready, and I will," he assured.
My heart suddenly began to pump faster and harder as my chest got somewhat weakened. Hearing him give me those kind of reassuring words suddenly made me not as scared. I was still terrified, but I felt like I at least had him with me on this.
"It's really soon. I just don't want people thinking I trapped you or nothing. I was literally on birth control," I replied.
"We both know that, that's all that matters."
I nodded in agreement and leaned my head onto his shoulder.
"Give me your feet," he demanded. He had suddenly revealed a bottle of cocoa butter lotion.
I chuckled, "Where did that come from?"
"It was here since last night I planned on giving you a foot rub soon as we got in the door but I sensed that you were already kind of anxious about something."
"So you know how to read me huh?," I asked. I smiled back at him so hard that my cheeks had become fiery inside.
"Of course. I think every man that is actually investing in a woman should know that woman inside out. I've been studying you since I met you."
Suddenly, I felt tears flush from my eyelids. I began to sob uncontrollably as I placed my feet onto his lap.
"Uh, baby you good?," he asked, nervously.
"Yes, I'm sorry I'm just like so happy. I waited so long for someone to just treat me good," I cried out.
"Yeah you're definitely pregnant," he laughed.
I protruded my lips out a bit and poured a bit so that he could see my facial response to what he was saying.
"I'm sorry baby, it's just obvious," he announced.
I wiped the teardrops from my cheeks and smiled back at him. Even when I was a wreck, he was my sanity.
He applied a good amount of lotion to both of my feet and strongly began massaging them. The tension and soreness in them suddenly vanished and I felt nothing but comfort.
I released a massive sigh of relief and he grinned back at me.
"I think I'm going to take another pregnancy test since I can't get to the doctor until next week, just want to be sure," I chanted.
"I understand. You want me to come in there with you?," he asked.
"Sure."
I walked over to the pantry and pulled out the extra pregnancy test that Ashley had insisted I take home with me.
I walked to the bathroom as Omar followed behind me closely. I sat down and inserted the test into my urine stream. The package had recommended waiting 10 minutes to read the results so when I handed it to Omar with the top back in place on it I set my timer.
Only about 2 minutes had gone by when I looked up at Omar. He was holding the test and a tear had suddenly fell down his cheek. I had never seen him cry yet, so I immediately thought the worst.
"It's negative isn't it? I knew it, this is why I didn't want to get happy about anything," I protested. I was trying not to let my emotions boil up too high but I couldn't help it much. I stood up and flushed the toilet quickly while making my way to the sink.
Omar still stood there in silence with tears in his eyes. My heart began shattering in a million pieces as I stared at him waiting for him to break his silence.
"Baby, we're having a baby!," he exclaimed revealing a huge smile that showed all of his pearly white teeth.
I broke out in tears of joy and jumped into his arms. He showed me the test and a definite positive result stared back at us both.
"We're gonna be parents," I cried.
