I blinked several times as I stared down at the plastic stick in my hand, a hand that now trembled. My vision started to fog over and I clenched my eyes closed, trying to breath as I lean even more forward from my place on the toilet.

тАЬJust breathe, please .тА? I tried to sooth myself, breathing in an uneven fashion. This in no way helped my state of dizziness. I shook my head after a minute or two before I finally calmed myself down; maybe I had seen the wrong colour? I glanced at it again as it was clenched in my small hand. It was pink, which if I remember right meant positive, but this couldnтАЩt be happening. I scrambled for the box and quickly started to scan the directions, it stated rather clearly and obviously that pink did indeed mean positive.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and slide off the toilet, the pregnancy test in my hand slipping from my hand and mind. My eyes started to fill over with tears, my hand flying to my mouth in total shock.

тАЬOh my God, IтАЩm pregnant.тА? I whispered with a shaky breath.

The phone suddenly rang and I could hear answer it, how was I going to tell him? It had been over a year since we found out my cancer was gone and I was as healthy as ever. Why was I so scared to be a mother even though we fought through something as horrible as cancer?

I try to clear my head and think of the things that might worry me. Money wouldnтАЩt be an issue while raising a family, I knew that and it took some of the weight off. We had the space, so that wasnтАЩt an issue either but we had just been married a couple of months ago. This was what scared me; we were just starting married life, were we having kids too soon?

I forced myself to breath again and I took a stand, grabbing all of the things included in the pregnancy test box before I shoved them back into the box. I look around for some place to put it, I figured my drawer in the bathroom was good enough for now and stuck it in there before exiting the bathroom. Our bathroom was attached to our bedroom and I went straight for our bed.

I could hear the sound of тАЩs piano in the other room; he must have finished on the phone. I closed my eyes and leaned back on the bed trying to drift off with the sound, but it didnтАЩt work. I was going to be a mother and that kept repeating itself in my head.

I started to think of and how he might react, would he flip out and get mad? Or would he be totally excited and thrilled? I really didnтАЩt know and it made me feverously nervous. However I had no doubt that would be an amazing dad, and this thought started to ease my nerves.

Finding out your pregnant was supposed to be a happy moment, and even though it came as a shock and scared the hell out of me at first I could feel the excitement start to rise inside of me.

I was pregnant! I was going to have our child and finally the thought made me feel the happiest IтАЩve ever felt. Come to think of it always seemed to eager to start a family. When I was cured of cancer he was ready to get the baby-making going, but for some reason it hadnтАЩt happened yet. I suppose we focused on the wedding and now that it had come and gone we were ready for the family.

I sat up from the bed as тАЩs music from the other room stopped and went to grab the phone to make an appointment at the clinic.

тАЬOkay, thank you, see you tomorrow.тА? I smiled and hung up the phone, placing it on the kitchen table.

тАЬWho was that?тА? тАЩs voice startled me and I look at him as he walked into the kitchen.

тАЬJust making a doctorтАЩs appointment.тА? I explained and he smiled with a brief nod before coming over and kissing me on the lips shortly. I didnтАЩt want to tell him until I was totally sure. тАЬYouтАЩre recording tomorrow right?тА? I asked just remembering.

тАЬYeah, itтАЩs not going to be a long day, we just have to finish one song.тА? He explained and I smiled with a nod.

I glanced around the clinic and saw various stages of parenthood playing out in front of me. A woman across from me looked about five months along with her pregnancy, she looked rather happy and we exchange a smile. Her husband was beside her, looking even happier than her. I switched my gaze and found a mother with one child in her arms, another sitting in the seat beside her drawing in some kind of notebook.

As much as I wanted to distract myself at a time like this I couldnтАЩt. People would think I was crazy for going to do a thing like this alone but knew I was very independent and he would understood when I told him. He just knew how I was and respected me for it, I was the same with him, and we always let one another be ourselves.

Finally they called my name and I stood from my seat and headed inside the doctors office.

I was sitting in the living room watching TV when finally arrived home, he joined me on the couch straight away and got cozy unaware of the news he would soon be hearing. I found out that I was 100% pregnant and I was totally bursting to tell him, but I knew I had to be patient, I had the perfect plan and I couldnтАЩt waste it.

As my eyes were on the TV, I could see staring me from the corner of my eye and I started to smile.

тАЬWhat?тА? I ask looking back at him, he had a small smile on his face, his eyes a little hazy.

тАЬNothing, IтАЩm just lucky thatтАЩs all.тА? He explained and I laughed a little, my cheeks flushing slightly. He smiled a little bigger at the sight, his grip on me tightening; his hand reached up to cup my cheek. He brought my face closer to his to the point where I could feel his breath mingle with mine and he pressed his lips to mine in a soft slow kiss. I sighed as we pulled away but he let his forehead rest on mine.

тАЬYeah you are lucky.тА? I let out and he follow suit with a small sigh and a laugh.

тАЬLittle miss ego?тА? He asked looking at me slyly before he grasped onto my sides and started to tickle me. I howled with giggles and tried to push him away but didnтАЩt fight when he pushed me back on the couch and his tickling fingers faltered before he started to gently graze my sides lovingly. тАЬLets go make dinner,тА? He spoke softly and I smiled up at him.

I had no idea how I actually kept my mouth shut about the pregnancy, but I managed to and I was almost bursting over the edge. At the moment however I was a little preoccupied with . After dinner we watched a bit of TV before cleaning our mess in the kitchen. Somehow he can make soap bubbles sexy and before I knew it he was carrying me upstairs, both of us damp with soapy water. Come to think of it he had been a little friskier than usual, not that I minded one bit but he was defiantly putting a little more loving into things. I guess he had been that way ever since I was healthy, although lately, if possible he was even more dedicated to this area of our relationship.

I ran my fingers through his damp hair as he kissed me, his tongue sweeping across my bottom lip, teasing me. We lay there kissing for a while before he surprisingly slowed things down; maybe all this lovinтАЩ was tiring him out?

He looked into my eyes, and I laughed at how adorable he looked, his lips swollen and his hair messy.

тАЬLove you,тА? He smiled and placed one more kiss on my lips.

тАЬLove you too babe, IтАЩm going to go change into something more comfortable.тА? I winked playfully and he grinned before giving me a squeeze and letting me go.

тАЬYou look different,тА? He said after me. тАЬLike you have a glow or something.тА? He continued.

I bit my lip trying to contain the grin that just wanted to display itself proudly as I made my way to the bathroom. I had placed the t-shirt I bought earlier in the closet that held our towels and quickly grabbed it before getting rid of my damp clothes.

тАЬ, you might want to change the comforter IтАЩm pretty sure itтАЩs wet.тА? I called laughing a little.

тАЬI was just thinking that,тА? He called back and I smiled as I slipped on the t-shirt that was a couple sizes too big. I smiled as I looked into the mirror, it went just passed my bum and was white with the word тАШBABYтАЩ across the chest, an arrow pointing to my stomach. I squirmed slightly in excitement, as my nerves began to rise. I fixed my hair and everything before taking a deep breath as I glanced over myself again. always said he thought I looked really sexy in his t-shirts, as they were too big for me, so this would be perfect.

I slowly opened the bathroom door, my heart beating a mile a minute. I glanced around the edge of the door and spotted in a t-shirt and his boxers sitting on the bed. He looked over when he noticed I was about to enter and gave me a cheeky smile.

тАЬWell come on then, letтАЩs see.тА? He teased and I let my leg come around the edge, teasing him. He stuck his tongue out and I laughed before taking a big breath and walking fully around the corner. He glanced at the shirt and time seemed to stand still as he stared at it, his eyes becoming wide. тАЬOh my God,тА? He let out, his hand coming up to his mouth in shock. He just stared at the t-shirt before he dropped his hand and looked at my face to see what I was thinking. I had a hopeful smile on my face and he instantly started to grin as he jumped up and quickly came over to me bringing me into a tight hug.

тАЬWeтАЩre pregnant?тА? He asked loudly and I nodded.

тАЬWeтАЩre pregnant.тА? I assured him and he pulled back to smile at me before taking my face in his hands and kissing me.

тАЬI canтАЩt believe it! IтАЩve been trying to get you pregnant forever!тА? He let out laughing and I looked at him in a mocked shock.

тАЬAre you serious?тА? I laughed and he nodded hugging me again.

тАЬSorry I probably should have asked first.тА? He chuckled.

тАЬWell itтАЩs not like I was trying to stop you.тА? I laughed along with him as he grinned and kissed my cheek.

тАЬWeтАЩre going to be parents!тА? He shouted and stepped away from me, jumping up onto the bed.

тАЬI know!тА? I laughed as he reached his hand out to me and I took it to have him pull me up onto the bed with him.

тАЬWe have to call everyone, and we have to get the room ready, and we have to buy everything. Our parents are going to be totally stoked to be grandparents. And we need to figure out if itтАЩs a boy or a girl, waitтАж no I want it to be a surprised, do you? Can we have twins, one boy and one girl? Wait, we need to call everyone right now!тА? He ran on in an excited manner and I laughed shaking my head at him. It was such a trademark for him to run on when he got excited.

тАЬCalm down .тА? I giggled, using his full name to gain all of his attention. He smiled knowingly at me and pulled me closer giving me an eager kiss.

тАЬI know, sorry.тА? He finally said against my lips.

тАЬHow about we just enjoy this on our own for a bit.тА? I suggested looking into his brown loving eyes.

тАЬSounds good,тА? He smiled and sat down on our bed, bringing me down with him. He didnтАЩt hesitate to bring me closer and wrap his arms protectively around me.

тАЬI canтАЩt believe youтАЩve been trying to get me pregnant, you rascal you.тА? I laughed poking his chest gently, he just chuckled and hugged me tighter.

тАЬI know, at first it was just me not being able to keep my hands off you. I figured we needed to settle into being married first, but time passed and I realized I didnтАЩt want to wait. I donтАЩt know why I didnтАЩt tell you, or talk to you about it.тА? He paused as his fingers started to tangle themselves in my hair. тАЬI guess I just didnтАЩt want to try as a couple and be disappointed together, weтАЩve been through a lot. I just wanted to be with you and hope that our love just brought us our kids.тА?

I lay there silently in his arms letting his words sink in, my eyes stinging with a few tears. I really had no idea how I had got so lucky meeting . I remember walking into тАЩs sister's house sopping wet from the rain and seeing grinning at me so eagerly. That day was defiantly one of my best.

тАЬI kind of love you a lot.тА? I finally spoke. тАЬThank you, .тА?

тАЬWhy thank you?тА? He asked softly. тАЬAnd I kind of love you a lot too.тА?

I smiled snuggling closer. тАЬThank you for being here and giving me a child.тА?

тАЬWell in that case, thank you for letting me, really.тА? He said cheekily and I laughed shaking my head. тАЬSeriously though,тА? He sighed and pulled back looking at me. тАЬNo one has ever made me as happy as you have.тА?

I smiled at him before resting my head on his chest, closing my eyes and taking in his smell. It was starting to look like we were going to have our very own sun kissed trampoline.
