Chapter Chpater 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".
"You're glowing so it might have been".
I ran a hand over my face. "Or it might be right and I'm not".
"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".
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?".
He smirked. "Just a few snacks for my girl".
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".
"Yeah, sounds good". The four of us hadn't hung out together in ages.
"Okay I'll see you tomorrow".
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?".
"We want to be sure, don't we?".
I rolled my eyes. "I don't have to pee yet, so I'll take it later on".
"Come on babe. Drink some water and go pee. There's no point in beating around the bush".
"What's the rush?". I asked.
"No rush Leah I just want to know if I'm right".
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".
"Fine but don't hover around outside the door. I won't be able to pee if you do".
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".
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".
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.
