Ivory Evans
I was officially moved into Leon's apartment and our parents loved the idea of it. They already knew about the engagement too and they wanted us to get married fast but we want to take it slow so maybe about next year.
Lately my body started to feel weird and I found myself eating strawberry with nutella almost everyday. It's been 3 months since I stopped eating my birth control pills and we've been having so much fun being so in love with each other.
After work, I went straight to the apartment with 6 different pregnancy tests. I was so nervous as I kept looking at myself in the mirror. Leon will come home in 2 hours and I'm a little bit scared.
He definitely wanted kids but.. I don't if this is the right timing for us to have one because we both are on top of our careers lately. I mean I want one but I don't know about him to have kids now. Okay.. I'm crazy right now. I'm freaking out.
I decided to get a water cup and peed. I opened all the 6 pregnancy tests that I bought and started to put it on the pee one by one. I grabbed my phone and put on a 10 minutes timer.
I walked out from the bathroom to grab nutella and strawberries. Leon has been stocking strawberries lately because he's trying to make a food based on strawberry sauce. He didn't even realize that I was eating the strawberries.
I took a glass of milk from the fridge and drank it quickly before starting to scoop some nutella out from the jar. I put it on the plate and ate strawberries with it.
I started to get nervous.. when I heard the timer went off.
I walked back towards the bathroom and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I opened my eyes and started to look at the 6 pregnancy tests.
I was speechless to see every one of them.. showed 'PREGNANT'. I smiled and I can't believe this. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I jumped around in happiness.
Suddenly I heard the apartment door open, I froze.
"Baby.. I'm home! Dad and mom decided to crash for dinner.." I heard Leon announcing his presence. I was speechless and I quickly got out from the bathroom towards the living room.
"Ivory?" Leon saw me walking out from the bedroom and he raised his eyebrows.
"This is good." Marie said as she are the strawberry with nutella. Leon slowly walked to me and he looked at me suspiciously.
"Did you cry? What happened?" He asked as he cupped my face.
"What happened?" His parents asked at the same time. I held his hand and brought him to the bathroom. His eyes widened when he saw the pregnancy tests. He looked at it one by one and he turned to me.
"Are you really?" He asked and I nodded.
"Are you mad?" I asked slowly and he hugged me tightly immediately.
"No. I'm not mad! I'm so happy!" He said and I hugged him back.
"Ivory! This is great news!"
"What? What happened?" His parents came in and Marie saw the pregnancy tests first. She squealed and showed it to her husband. Leon kissed my lips slowly and he smiled widely.
"You're going to be a dad.." Wesley said.
"I'm going to be a dad!" Leon said.
"You are.. going to be a dad." Wesley said and he hugged Leon. Marie hugged me tightly and Wesley gave me a big hug too.
"I'm going to be a grandpa." Wesley said yo Marie.
"I'm going to be a grandma." Marie said to Wesley.
"We're going to be grandparents." Wesley said as he looked at the pregnancy tests again. I chuckled and Leon put his arm around my waist.
"I'm going to tell her parents.. Let's celebrate this." Marie said as she dragged her husband out.
"I'm going to be a grandpa.. wow.." I laughed hearing Wesley saying it again before going out from the bathroom. I turned to Leon and he smiled.
"I can't believe this.. I mean.. this is so.. great." Leon said and I nodded.
"Are you ready to be a dad?" I asked.
"Hell yeah!" He said and I chuckled.
"Let's celebrate.. I'm hungry and you need to buy more strawberries." I said as I tried to drag him out from the bathroom.
"Ivory." He called me, making me stop walking. I turned to him and raised my eyebrows.
"I know.. I never said this before but.. I love you." My whole body froze and he smiled.
"Sorry for taking it so long to say it but I really mean it." I cupped his face and kissed him slowly.
"I love you too."
"We're going to be great parents." He said and I nodded.
"So.. what do you want to eat? I will make anything you want." He said as he slowly wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I want.. steak.. lots of them.." I said and he chuckled. Suddenly we heard a lot squeal from outside and we both laughed.
"I can't eat medium rare so.. please make it well done." I added and he nodded.
"Let's my preggo Ivy." He said and I smacked his arm.
"Don't call me that!" I hissed and he chuckled.
"I love you." He kissed my cheek and we walked outside together. Wesley and Marie were facetiming my parents and we joined. My parents are on their way to Leon's apartment already and we can't wait for them to join our little celebration.
"To.. grandparents." Wesley said as he raised his champagne glass. I grabbed a cup of water to join him.
"Are you kidding me?" Marie asked.
"What?" Wesley asked and I chuckled.
"To.. our new family member!" Leon corrected him and we all cheered. I drank a glass of water and grabbed my strawberries again.
"That's why.. I just realize that my strawberries keep missing." Leon said and I glared at him. He looked at me smiling widely.
"You better buy her 10 boxes of strawberries!" Marie said and I gave her a thumbs up. Leon walked to the fridge preparing steaks for me as Marie walked to me.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow? Any other cravings? Tell me and I will send it to you or cook it for you!" Marie whispered to me.
"I want japanese ramen.." I whispered back.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow and let's eat lunch.. along with your mom."
"Mom!" Leon called her.
"What?"
"She's mine for tomorrow because I'm going to take her to the doctor." Leon said and I literally forgot about that part. I turned to Leon and can't help but smile like an idiot. I fell in love with the right man.
"She can go with you after she ate lunch with your mom." Wesley said.
"That's true."
"No.. I will take her." Leon said and I chuckled.
"Fine." Marie said.
We both looked at each other and he mouthed 'I love you' to me. I winked at him as the answer.
The End
