Chapter 298
“Always but promise me you’ll talk to me if your jealous head arises again”. I still don’t see why she was jealous. She has it good here also.
“It won’t but yes, I promise. Now can we talk about you?”. The tension was gone, she was a lot more relaxed than before. She headed for the fridge taking out a beer. “Are you pregnant?”. “I took a test, and it came back negative, but Jakes convinced it was faulty p>
“You’re glowing so it might have been p>
I ran a hand over my face. “Or it might be right and I’m not p>
“And you’re going to take another one?”. She asked.
I heard the car pull into the driveway. Jake was home.
“Guess I better get going”. She got to her feet.
“No stay it’s okay p>
Snacks. Lots and lots of snacks. No wonder he took so long at the store.
“Everything cool in here?”. He kissed my cheek placing the groceries on the counter.
“We’re good”. I smiled. “Did you buy the whole damn store p>
He smirked. “Just a few snacks for my girl p>
Snacks was the last thing I needed.
“I’m going to head home but maybe we can do lunch tomorrow?”. Lana spoke. “And maybe invite Alanna and Lacey along too p>
“Yeah, sounds good”. The four of us hadn’t hung out together in ages.
“Okay I’ll see you tomorrow p>
I walked her out waving her off as she drove off down the street. She didn’t quite seem her usual self, but I wasn’t going to question it. Closing the door, I went back into the kitchen. The test was lying on the table. Or should I say tests. He bought four boxes.
“Really Jake p>
“We want to be sure, don’t we p>
I rolled my eyes. “I don’t have to pee yet, so I’ll take it later on p>
“Come on babe. Drink some water and go pee. There’s no point in beating around the bush p>
“What’s the rush?”. I asked.
“No rush Leah I just want to know if I’m right p>
I made a face.
“Babe your scents changed, you’re eating more, and you’re tired all the time. You’re pregnant, I know you are p>
“Fine but don’t hover around outside the door. I won’t be able to pee if you do p>
He sat at the top of the stairs while I went into the bathroom. I felt sick with nerves or excitement I wasn’t sure. I did my business, pee’d on the stick and was currently waiting for the results. I set a timer on my phone for three minutes.
“Leah”. He knocked on the door.
I couldn’t not let him in. He was a part of this just as much as I was. This wasn’t just about me it was about us.
I unlocked the door letting him inside.
“Well?”. He asked.
“It’s not ready yet”. I put the lid on the toilet down and took a seat. “But please don’t get your hopes up p>
I still believed it would come back negative. I didn’t feel pregnant. Surely, I would know.
He took my hands in his. “Let’s just wait and see what it says p>
The timer went off and my stomach dopped.
“Come on we’ll do it together”. He pulled me to my feet.
“I’m scared”. I whispered.
“Me too baby but we’ve got this”. Kissing the top of my head he reached for the test turning it over.
I couldn’t look.
“Told you I was right”. He whispered.
Glancing down at the test I burst into tears.
It sure as shit was positive.
