"you don’t even know" she said with such sadness I wanted to punch myself for upsetting her. I crawled behind her on the bed and wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me so that her back was against my chest. She sighed and turned in my arms so she would face me.
"tell me baby" I said softly, wanting to know why i upset her "What did I do?"
"I can’t Ethan" she said and rolled away from me standing up room the bed "I don’t know how"
"You can tell me anything Lily, don’t you trust me?"
"it’s not about that don’t try to turn this on me" she said angrily "it’s your fault anyway"
"What did I do?"
"God damn it think about it Ethan. Haven’t you noticed anything different these past few days"
"You’re wearing perfume" I said and chose not to tell her about the mood swings she’s been having "And you’re eating more"
"and I’ve been puking my guts out constantly but you don’t know that." she said "What do these things tell you"
I froze as realization dawned on me, my face paled and I stared wide eyed from Lily’s stomach and then to her face.
:"are yuou telling me" I chocked out "You’re...You’re"
As if to confirm it she laid a hand on her stomach and nodded "I’m pregnant Ethan"
I walked slowly to her and as soon as I was close I hesitantly put my hand on her stomach "Are you telling me I put a baby in there"
"Yeah"
"We’re going to have a baby" I said more to myself "I’m going to be a dad" I pulled her to me and hugged her tightly "God I love you"
"you’re not mad?" she asked
"Why would I be?"
"You replaced the birth control pills, you didn’t want a baby" she said sadness lacing her words and I almost laughed
"Oh baby I hopedwe’d have a baby but I didn’t dare tell you. I was going to wait till a few weeks before the wedding to tell you to go off the birth control pills so that we’d have a baby as soon as we’re married." I cupped her face and kissed her hungrily till we both had to pull away for air
"Do you havfe anything else to do today?"
"No, you?"
Nate’s P.O.V.
"Nate!" Claire explained jumping on the stairs to give me a hug "I missed you"
"I was only gone a day Claire" I mused and she pulled away and shook her head at me
"it was a very long day, Charles kept picking on me"
"Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him" I said carrying her as I walked up the stairs to their room. Lucy and charles were there and they both grinned and waved when I got in. I sat beside them as they played and told me about their day. We sat there for a while before there was a knock on the door.
Lily came in with a grin on her face "Boy do I have a surprise for you" she said with a wink and the kids immediately put all their attention on her. "Get your swimsuits guys we’re going to the lake for a barbecue"
The kids all jumped with a scream and started running around the room grabbing their stuff. I stood up, there wasn’t anything I could do now so might as well leave.
"Not so fast" Lily said "First,you’re going with us...no buts" she said when I started to interrupt "You’ll borrow one of my swim suits and after that, I’m going to teach you how to kick a--" she stopped when she noticed the kids looking at her "booty"
"come on, Nate. Please go with us" Claire said with an adorable pout
"Yeah Nate pretty, pretty please" Lucy added and I saw Lily grin at me from behind them. I sighed, I just couldn’t say no to them.
