I threw the bag in the passenger seat, of course, having its contents spill out. The box taunted me from the seat as if it were making fun of me for being so reckless. I grabbed it, shoving it back into the bag forcefully. It didn't take long to reach the Inn. Portsmouth isn't exactly the largest town.
I raced inside and straight into the bathroom, peeling open one of the boxes and taking the long stick out. I quickly scanned the directions, making sure there wasn't a certain way I needed to pee on this damn thing. My heart was racing, and all I wanted to do was pace back and forth. I peed, flipping the test upside down after, so I wouldn't be watching it for the three minutes I needed to wait. I decided to call Lucas, but this time I figured I should video call him. He can get the news with me.
I set the phone against the backsplash on the counter before calling. I was chewing the side of my thumbnail, pacing, when Lucas answered. His hair was wet, and his body was glistening with droplets of water. He had come out of the shower with a towel hugging his hips.My Adonis.
"Rose, what's wrong?" He furrowed his brow as he saw me.
I stopped pacing, turning to face him. I could see myself in the little box on the screen, looking like a mess with a crazed look in my eyes. It was obvious I was stressed the fuck out. I leaned towards the phone, whispering my answer as if the walls had ears and could tell everyone my secret.
"I'm late."
"You're late?" He furrowed his brow so hard it met in the middle. I could tell it wasn't clicking.
"Yes, my period is late," I explained, biting my lip after.
"Oh…OH….OHHH!" With each oh his voice got higher as if each oh was making him realize more and more. "Are you..?"
"I figured we could find out together." I picked up the phone, turning the camera so it was facing the test.
"Holy shit! Okay, I'm ready when you are," he assured me.
I could see the same wild look in his eyes, only there was more. He looked like he could almost be excited, and it made my heart race more. I picked up the test with shaky hands and a pounding heart, surprised Lucas couldn't hear it through the phone. I slowly turned it, reading positive on the front. We stayed silent, frozen in shock.
I'm pregnant.
"I'm coming to Portsmouth right now. I'll be there soon," Lucas said very seriously. "Don't panic. I love you, Rose." He hung up right after, without me saying a word. I was still stunned silent, looking at the test like it was mocking me. I opened the other two boxes and peed on those sticks, too. They were all a choir of positives.
I placed my hand over my flat stomach, immediately thinking of Daisy and how she would rub her bump to remind herself my brother was there. I can see why she would do it. My body doesn't feel any different, aside from what I'm realizing is not a stomach bug.Is it morning sickness?
I finally willed myself to leave the bathroom and the sight of the three positive tests. I laid back on the bed with my legs dangling off the side, staring at the pure white ceiling and wondering what exactly I would do. It'll be due around July, probably, so at least I will have graduated. It'll be hard to find someone willing to hire me when they see a pregnant belly. My field isn't exactly a woman led one. I have to prove myself and it's hard to do so as a mom.
I feel like I read somewhere employers like to hire women who are single, and have no kids, over a married mom. Moms miss work for their kids or their husbands more. They aren't one person anymore. Can I still do what I love to do, what I set out to do? I must have fallen asleep at some point amongst my contemplating, because I woke up to my phone vibrating in my hand.

Forcing my eyes to focus, I saw Lucas' contact flash across my screen. I sleepily answered, pressing the cold glass of the phone against my face.
"Hello?"
"I'm here, Rose. What room are you in?" he asked quickly. I sat up so fast my head spun for a moment.
"Room two," I finally answered.
I heard the phone go silent, seeing Lucas had hung up. I walked to my room door, opening it to see him making his way towards me. My eyes instantly watered at the sight of him. I missed him so much, despite it having only been a couple of days. I couldn't help myself. My legs ran towards him, and my arms crazily wrapped themselves around his neck. I held him tight as his arms hugged around my waist and pulled me close. He picked me up, allowing my legs to hook around his waist as he walked us towards my room. He closed the door behind him, laying me gently on the bed. Those intense brown eyes looked down at me lovingly as his hand pushed my hair out of my face softly.I've missed him.
His lips met mine, sending hot lava coursing through my body at his touch. I held the back of his neck, pressing on him so our kiss was more powerful. There was no stopping this, despite the news we had gotten. We both missed each other too much to let go now. Our hunger for one another was so intense, like an eternal flame. There was no extinguishing this fire.
"God, I've missed you," he whispered.
"I've missed you, too."
His lips met mine again, making our deep breaths the only noises heard. I let my hand slide under his shirt, feeling every dip of those perfect abs. I lifted his shirt over his head, never breaking eye contact. My heart felt complete with him in my arms again. I felt so overwhelmed with happiness, longing, and desire. I wasn't sure what to do with myself.
I wanted to feel every inch of his skin pressed against my own, to feel him deep inside me. I longed for us to become one again. His hands gripped my sides under my shirt, pulling me to him as our kiss deepened, allowing his tongue to reacquaint itself with my own. I moaned against him, wanting more, wanting all of him. When our lips broke apart, I could see the same longing, the same hunger, reflected in his eyes as in my own.
We didn't shed clothes as quickly, instead doing it slowly and sensually. Our fingers grazed over each other's skin. Every touch was intentionally soft and sweet. Lucas held me in his arms as he aligned himself with my entrance. My breasts were pressed against his bare chest as my hands pushed down on his back, squeezing him closer to me. He slowly entered me, letting me feel every inch of him. He held my gaze before he began to thrust into me.
I have never felt so much love before. There was such love in his eyes. I couldn’t look away. There was love in every touch and caress. The way he thrusted in me was filled with gentle love and care. This wasn't fucking, this was loving, and it was perfect. It was exactly what we needed after being away.
