Sprinkled With Love

Chapter Twenty-nine: Surprise?

    By Friday I was finally feeling a bit more normal, my morning sickness only hitting early in the morning, before I take the pill for the nausea. Today was hopefully the day I could tell Morgan, Melinda had been checking on me the last few days when Barry wasn't around so she wouldn't let the secret out. I headed down the stairs after my morning appointment with the toilet and grabbed a glass of water, a pill for nausea and a prenatal vitamin. I got a bagel out of the package in the pantry and popped it into the toaster. I took my stuff while I waited for my bagel to pop up. I heard my front door open and close. 

    "Arizona!" I heard Morgans voice yell out. What the hell? I looked at the time I thought he was supposed to be working, and why is he yelling. I walked out of the kitchen.

    "Morgan, why are you yelling?" I said and wrapped my robe around me tighter, 

    "Arizona, do you have something to tell me?" He said standing there. When he was in full uniform he was a bit intimidating, and doubly so right now with his arms across his chest.

    "What are you talking about Morgan?" I said honestly confused, because there is absolutely know way he could know about the baby yet.

    "So you weren't at a doctors appointment the other day with my mother? because one of my coworkers said he saw you." He said his fingers taping his arm. " He also told me what kind of doctors office it was. So I'm going to ask again, do you have something to tell me?"

    "I... I..." I started talking but froze.

    "Are you f***ing kidding me right now? You can't even tell me?" I could see the anger in his face. 

    "What do you want me to say? Yes I was at the doctors, yes your mother was with me." I said starting to get emotional, f**k what a bad bad timing to start with the hormones.

    "Tell me the truth. Are you or are you not pregnant?" He said his arms dropping to his side.

    "Yes, I am. and your coworker f***ing ruined it..." I said now crying.

    "What?" Morgans face dropped. As I stood there crying in front of him.

    "I'm pregnant Morgan," I cried and dropped to the floor. I looked up to see Morgan drop to a squat and put his head in his hands. "I was going to tell you tonight.. you know at dinner.. but your coworker f***ing ruined it."

    "My mom knows?" Morgan asked and I nodded.

    "Yes I asked her because I wasn't sure at first and I didn't want to tell you then it not be true I wanted to be sure first," I  held my knees up to my chest sitting on the floor.

    "So I'm going to be a dad?" He asked and I nodded.

    "And I'm going to be a mom." I stayed sitting on the floor and Morgan stood up and came over to me. He reached down and picked me up.

    "Aw baby, I'm sorry I came in here angry, I just didn't like being told something I had no idea about, about my girlfriend," He held me in his arms. "Were you really planning on telling me tonight?"

    "Yea... I had it kind of planned out.." I said wiping the remaining tears off my face.

    "Well then do it." He said and let me go. I smiled and went to the kitchen and grabbed the sonogram out of my purse then went into the laundry room and grabbed the baby cowboy boots from under the washer. I walked back out to Morgan who now stood in the kitchen. 

    "So.. " I said and sat the sonogram pictures and baby boots on the counter in front of him. "How do you feel about being a daddy?" He picked up the pictures and smiled running his finger over the little blip. My hand went to my stomach and I smiled. My little blip.

    Morgan looked up at me and sat the sonogram back down on the counter to come to me. "I'm all for being a dad, especially with you as the mom." 

    "Really?" I asked looking up at him, I placed my hand on his face and ran my fingers through his beard.

    "Hell ya baby I'm all for this," He kissed me holding one hand on my stomach and one on my face.

    "But I don't want anyone else knowing yet ok? not until I'm through the first trimester." I said after pulling away.

    "Well... um..." Morgan was hesitating and I looked at him.

    "Morgan what happened?" I said and crossed my arms.

    "Well... Tommy was in the room when Bryan said it..." My eyes widened when he said that. "Oh f***, oh f*** He is going to murder you.." I said. "My daddy ain't around but that man is the next best thing I got to a daddy and he is going to kill you for getting his princess pregnant."

    "F*** me, and he's my boss." His head went to his hands and he ran his hands through his hair. Just then I heard the front door slam open.

    "ARIZONA JULIET LOVE YOU GET YOU ASS IN THIS LIVING ROOM NOW!" I heard Tommys voice and I flinched. Morgan looked at the back door and I could tell he was thinking about sprinting. 

    "No you don't mister this is your child too." I said and dragged him with me to the living room.

    Tommy was standing there just like Morgan had done a bit earlier. He looked between Morgan and I.

    "Hi..." I said quietly.

    "So when were you going to tell me?" he asked, and I just threw my hands in the air.

    "I barely just got to tell Morgan and it wasn't how I wanted it to go because Bryan ruined it." I said. "I literally just found out 3 days ago."

    "You just found out?" He asked and I nodded.

    "Arizona was going to tell me tonight at dinner, but Bryan did ruin it by telling me he saw her at the doctors." Morgan said as he wrapped his arm around me.

    "You better treat my princess and that baby right Reed or I am going to beat the crap out of you, I may be old but I can still throw a punch and knock your a** out." Tommy said. and looked Morgan dead in the eye.

    "Understood sir," Morgan smiled and looked down at me as I looked up at him. 

    "Good now get your a** back to work, I don't pay you to visit your girlfriend." Tommy said as he pointed out the door.

    "Yes sir, going back to work." He bent down to kiss me. "I'll see you later baby we can still have dinner, we have lots to talk about." I nodded and smiled as he walked out. Closing the door behind him.

    "Ari.." Tommy said.

    "Yes?" I looked at him

    "You love that guy don't you?" He asked and I nodded.

    "So much, and I'm happy for the first time in so long, I am so happy." I said tearing up and he came over to give me a hug. 

    "Oh princess I wish your daddy could be here to see how grown up you are." Tommy said wiping the tears from my face and pushing my hair behind my ears.

    "Me too me too." I hugged him so tight I didn't want to let go. "But you know what else, I have a daddy who is here right now and gets to be in my babies life." I smiled up at him.

    "That you do princess, that you do." Tommy kissed the top of my head.
