“Good morning baby,” I say to Danielle as I walk to her. She is in the kitchen and makes breakfast.
“Morning love,” she says and I kiss her.
“Are you ok?”
“Yeah, why I won’t be?”
“You look a little off,” I say and she frowns
“I’m fine love. Really. Little tired from yesterday” she says and she gives me a plate with Bacon and Eggs. She returns to the other counter and brings another plate and hers.
“Oh, you make Cinnamon Rolls. I love you” I say and I kiss her
“Well, I wanted something sweet too” I smile and I start eating. Danielle looks again like she is in her world. Something is wrong. I hope she tells me soon.
“What do you want to do today?” I ask and she looks at me
“I don’t know. How about staying home and watching movies.” She says and she comes closer
“And you do me again a massage?” She says and she blinks her eyes. I laugh
“Ok, baby. Whatever you want.” I say and I kiss her nose.
“I will do the dishes. You go pick movies”
“You are the best,” she says jumping and she goes to the living room.
The day passes lazy, with movies, and cuddles. For lunch, Danielle makes chicken sandwiches and for dinner we order pizza.
The next morning I woke up earlier than Danielle, we had a meeting with Joshua with a new client and he only could at nine in the morning. I left a note to Danielle to remind her and I left for the office. The meeting went well. Another prospective client was convinced to cooperate with us. I decided to call Danielle around eleven but she did not answer. Maybe she is with a client.
“Peter prepares the contact,” Joshua says as he enters my office
“Great. We should call Gibson for the signs”
“I told Peter when he finished arranging the appointment”
“Good,” I say
“You send the security to the Collins?” I ask
“Yes. The Collins are covered. The Johnsons want one more security guard”
“Send Johnny”
“Yeah, good idea. I was thinking of him too”.
Lunchtime came and I still haven’t news from Danielle. I take my phone to call her again but I hear a knock at the door.
“Come in” The door opens and I see Danielle
“Baby. I call and text all morning. Where are you?” I say and stand up to go to her. I hug her
“I’m fine. I was at the doctor and I couldn’t answer.”
“Doctor? What happens? You could text”
“I’m sorry. I was nervous” she says and she looks nervous now
“Are you ok?”
“Yes is not something physical”
“Then what is it?” I ask and she takes my hand and leads me to the chair in front of the office. She sits opposite. She takes a deep breath
“About a week now I have had nausea and dizziness. So I decided to go see the doctor and that I suspected is true.” She says and I look at her. Nausea and dizziness, she will say that I think she will say.
“I’m pregnant Ryan,” she says and she smiles. But she looks nervous. Does she think that I don’t want a baby? I cup her face and I look at her.
“You’re not joking?” She shakes her head
“We going to have a baby?” She nods and I kiss her.
“I love you”
“You are happy?”
“You ask! I’m thrilled. You don’t know how much I want to start a family with you” She smiles and hugs me tight
“I love you too” She looks at me
“I was nervous about how you would react” I caress her cheeks with my hands
“I don’t say that is not soon. It is. But I want it so much. We will face it together. I’m here I’m not going anywhere” I say and she smiles. She takes a deep breath
“Ok. I’m sorry. Just I haven’t thought like that.”
“What do you mean?” I ask
“Well, I haven’t thought that I going to be pregnant before the wedding. But now that I think of it, I wasn’t expecting to move with my boyfriend after six months of a relationship or be pregnant after eight months. Life can surprise you” she says and I kiss her again. True life can surprise you. I never expected to find a girl that would make me feel like that. That I will leave the army for her and start a job and wear tuxedos. But here I am doing that and I don’t regret it at all.
“You are right. I never dreamed any of that” she frowns
“It’s much better. And I don’t change anything.” I say and she kisses me.
“Did anyone else know?”
“Alexis and Laura know about my sickness and they suspect that I’m pregnant. But I haven’t called them for sure. I want to tell you first”
“How long are you?”
“Almost seven weeks. I will have another appointment so we see the baby”
“I want to be there,” I say
“Of course. I will tell you”
“You had lunch? I can order something” I say and stand up
“If you have time”
“Great. What do you want?” I ask and I go to the phone
“I don’t know. I want spaghetti. You choose with what” I smile and I make the order. We ate together and we chatted about the baby. We decided which room to make the nursery and what would say to my parents.
“You will say it to yours?” I ask and she froze
“I will say it to Amanda. My parents I don’t they will care”
“I’m sorry. But you never know maybe they will be happy for you”
“I don’t think so. They haven't seen me for so many years. And they don’t even ask about me when they talk to Amanda every day” she says and her face fall
“Baby...”
“Ryan it’s fine. I have people who love me and me happy about that. I’m not losing my good mood for them” she says and she smiles at me but I see she hurt her parents. I don’t press her, if she wants to talk she will.
“Ok, baby. Whatever you want. You are the mommy” she laughs
“You will call like that now?”
“For me, you will always be my baby,” I say and I kiss her.
“Guys guys. You will make me leave and go to my girl” I hear Joshua and I lift my head
“I was leaving anyway,” Danielle says and stands up
“Ryan tell you about Saturday?”
“Yes, we will be there. We won’t miss your birthday”
“OK great” she gives a kiss
“See you later”
“Later baby,” I say and she leaves. We say to keep it secret until her birthday and we say that day about her pregnancy. With Joshua continuing work and about six we finished and I went home. Danielle is still at the salon so I make the dinner tonight.
She has to eat well now. I still can’t believe it. I'm going to be a dad. I will be so good dad, he or she will have everything. I can’t wait to see my Dany with a round belly and I caress her
