Setting: Various Places that may potentially give away the plot!😂😂

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Collins smiled as he woke up that morning. He felt refreshed from his deep sleep. Today was going to be a good day, he thought happily to himself. His spirits rose as he turned to see his beautiful wife laying in the bed next to him.

Veronica Merrell..or Veronica Key now.

He had met her six years ago and had always been drawn to her. One day he got the courage, thanks to his loving brother, Devan Key, to ask her out and she accepted instantly. Veronica and Collins dated for many years till the young man popped the big question. Now they were connected for life.

Now a year later, Collins has been planning an anniversary dinner for them at one of the fanciest restaurants in California tonight. He hoped she'd enjoy it because he'd hate to disappoint her. The boy looked at Veronica lovingly as she slept. She's so adorable, he thought. He leaned his face towards hers and pecked her cheek softly, rubbing her arm with his hand, "Morning sunshine." Veronica opened her eyes tiredly feeling the prickles of Collins's stubble brush her skin, "Collins...Collins what time is it?"

He smirked hugging her around, "Time for you to give me my morning kiss." The girl rolled her eyes playfully, "Why do you have to be so cheesy?"

"You know you love it."
"I do." They giggled and leaned in, starting to kiss tenderly. Even though it's been 365 days of marriage, it felt like they were just getting started with their new life together. They knew it would stay that way, full of life and wonder.

Roni pulled away suddenly, beginning to shut her eyes tightly. It came to a startle for Collins. He asked concerned as his wife rubbed her head, "You okay?" She looked over at him after a second, she looked tired, "Yeah..yeah, I've just been getting headaches and nausea lately." He frowned. The husband hated to see her miserable, "I'm sorry, Roni. Catch something from the daycare?"

Veronica had gotten a job as a preschool teacher in the area. It wasn't her biggest ambition but she loved working with the children. She sighed closing her eyes, "Maybe..I'm gonna call out sick today." Collins smiled at her, "Good, get some rest. You deserve it how hard you take care of those crazy kids," he thought for a moment, "Maybe I should cancel going mini golfing with Devan today so I can take spend time with you." The woman shook her head at him, "No, go have fun with your brother. You don't have to watch me sleep all day."

"I wouldn't mind to." Veronica nudged him playfully, "Also I want you to spend time with your little brother." Collins was going to argue again but he gave in, "Are you sure?" She kissed him quickly, "Positive, now go have fun." He smiled at her as she spoke, "You know I love you right?" Roni smiled back, "Every time I wake up and see your handsome face." Their lips came into contact once more, Collins then stood and went to get ready for the day.

"You got this, bro. Just ease your wrist softly..," Devan instructed, squatting by the hole with intense attention. Collins shifted his weight steadily holding his golf club firmly in his palms. He breathed in and swung the stick slightly too hard and toward the wrong direction. The older one groaned as soon as he felt the ball fly across the coarse. Devan frowned as well watching the yellow ball ricochet off the back rim of the brick barrier surrounding them and halting to a stop.

The boy stated sadly, "Awe man! I thought that was going to go in." Collins let out air he was holding in, "Sorry bro, it's just..my mind isn't focusing today." Devan went over to his brother, leaning on his club, "What's eatin' ya?" They stood there as Collins stroked his chin nervously, "Well, Roni hasn't been feeling like herself all week. She's been having stomach problems, unable to fall asleep at night, and she has been ill too. I just don't know what to do, bro, I hate seeing her like this."

The younger man patted his brother's back, "I know you don't, but she'll be just fine. She probably just caught a flu from somewhere. Don't be too worked up over it, Collins," he looked off to the side, "Look, if you are really worried about her, you can go home and see her. I'll be fine with it, we can just hang out over the weekend." Collins stopped him, "Wait, Dev. I'm not going to cut our plans short. I haven't seen you in a few days and I miss my little brother. I'll check on her later, in the meantime.." Devan's expression twisted with joy, "Pizza and churro time?!" The other said with satisfaction, "Oh yes!" They both laughed leaving the golf course happily.

Veronica laid in her bed sickly feeling herself grow even more nauseous than before. What was wrong with her? This can't be a simple cold.. What was it? Before she could think anymore, she felt a uproar in her stomach, screaming in agony. Roni put a hand to her mouth and the other on her belly. She needed the bathroom! Quickly, the girl dashed from her bedroom to the toilet, bending over and released the contents out of her body. Once it started, it wouldn't stop!

After a few minutes, waiting cautiously over the bowl, she pulled away with deep heaves, laying her back against the bathtub. She needed Collins...

*Ring ring* *Ring ring* Went the magician's cellphone as he bit into the stringy cheddar cheese and sweet tomato sauce. Devan said with a mouthful of bread, "Your phone's ringing." Collins nodded picking it up, swallowing the last bites in his mouth, "Thanks a lot, Captain Obvious." The younger one saluted him playfully and they snorted a little. The older one finally looked at the phone and saw the contact name RoniBear show up and answered, "Hey, babe."

"Collins..I need you." Collins's heart began to quicken it's beat, "What? Roni, what's wrong?" He looked over at Devan who's face grew with concern watching his brother's reaction. Veronica answered weakly, "I feel really nauseous and I was just vomiting my guts out five minutes ago. I'm...I need you now." The husband stood up, "Okay, okay we'll be there as soon as we can. Call Nessa if it starts getting worse."

"Okay, love you, babe."
"Love you too, sweetheart. Hang in there," Collins hung up swiftly and turned towards his brother, "Veronica is really sick and she needs me over there." Devan understood and was already throwing away his trash, "Let's get going."

The two hopped into the car and drove towards Collins's house. The older one's heart yearned for his wife. Thoughts roamed his brain trying to rack what was wrong with her. Is she going to die? He was ready to slap himself. Roni isn't going to die, stupid! But he was still growing worried...

"Bro, are you okay?" Devan asked noticing his brother's face hardening with focus. Collins didn't hear him and the other was fine with it. He knew his bro was worried for his wife.

Soon the car stopped in front of a two story house. This was it. The boy's stepped out of the vehicle and saw another car in the driveway. That must be Vanessa's.., Collins thought. Veronica must be in more pain. As they walked up the porch steps, they heard talking from inside and opened the door.

Vanessa was in the living room rubbing her sister's back as she laid across her legs. The husband saw his wife's eyes closed, tiredness was evident in her face. Collins spoke, "Roni.. Hun?" The girl lifted her eyelids and said wearily, "Collins.." Vanessa looked up at the Key Brother's, "Hey guys, she isn't looking too good. She didn't throw up but she has a lot of nausea." Devan suggested moving his arm, "Do you think we should take her to the hospital?"

Collins peered at the sick woman and frowned, "I think we may have to." Veronica moaned, twisting her head, "Okay.." The man walked over and felt her head softly. Hmm..she doesn't feel hot as if she had a fever, he recognized, maybe the stomach bug?

Soon they got Veronica into the car, setting a bowl on her lap incase she gets sick. Vanessa sat in the back next to her, while Devan sat in the passenger with Collins driving. The hospital was twenty minutes away, and to Collins it was a nightmare. He wanted Roni to get better as soon as possible. She needed to..

The group arrived at the Hospital and they all carefully walked the sick twin towards the Emergency Room, waiting for a doctor. They sat at some chairs by a window for a few short moments, slightly impatient. Collins looked over at Veronica whom had her head on his shoulder, and her hand interlocked in his. The man rubbed his finger on his wife's wedding ring making them both smile wearily.

"Veronica Key?" called a nurse from the back room. She started to get up when her sister called behind her, "Would you like me to come too?" Roni smiled weakly, "I'll be fine, sis." She turned around and sighed in terror. Will she?

{Short Time Skip}

Veronica was given different checkups such as blood pressure, lung test, and even a endoscopic ultrasound. After the tests, the woman sat back in her chair waiting for the doctor to come in. What was wrong with her? Was it life threatening? It couldn't be...could it? She wasn't ready to loose her parents, her sister, her husband..

"Mrs. Key?" She looked up with wide eyes, "Yes?!" That came out more cowardly than intended. She saw it was the doctor walking into the room. What news did he have to bring to her? He spoke with a kind look on his face, "My name is Dr. Brown. It's good to meet you. My daughters are big fans of you and your husband." Feeling flattered, she thanked him, "Thank you, that means a lot." Soon he continued, "Anyways, we got back your results and..there seems to be nothing wrong with you." OH THANK THE LORD!! She thought happily to herself, relaxing slightly.

"We are going to give you some Benadryl for your stomach and the nausea should get better." She smiled, feeling as if everything was clearing up, "Thanks, doc. So am I all good?" He frowned, "Not quite." A pit in her stomach began to form. What did he mean by that? Veronica raised an eyebrow, "..What else is there?" Dr. Brown cleared his throat, "Your results for your blood and urine test came back with a hormone hCG," he looked down at his papers then back at her, adjusting his glasses, "Ma'am, don't mind me asking, but when was your last menstruation?"

Feeling her cheeks burn, she went to answer until she felt herself pause, ".:.I don't remember." The doctor gave her a slight smile as the pieces came together. She gasped.

Collins's foot began to fidget as he sat in his chair waiting for his wife to come out. When will she be done? Suddenly, a door swung open to see a nurse call, "Collins Key?" Hearing his name, the young man stood and headed over to the nurse, "That's me. How is she? Is my wife okay?" The woman only smirked, "Why don't you go see yourself."

Confused and anxious, the young man headed back into the room to see his wife talking to a doctor about something. Once the magician walked into the room, they both turned towards his direction. Dr. Brown patted the boy, "Your wife is all good, you can relax now." He sighed, slightly embarrassed and watched the doctor leave the room. Veronica spoke with a shaky breath, "Collins.." He looked at her and saw her look a mix of emotions. What was wrong?

He took her hands, "What's wrong? Do you need something?" His wife shook her head with happy tears starting to form in her eyes, "No, Collins...I'm pregnant!" Collins's ice blue eyes grew twice it's size as he heard her say that statement. She was pregnant?! He didn't know what to say, "..What?" Roni covered her mouth grinning, "I'm pregnant! I'm going to be a mom! You're going to be a dad!" Overwhelmed with joy, Collins's lips quivered starting to tear up, "No way..we're going to be parents?!" He yelled out with excitement, "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A KID!"

Collins picked up his wife by the waist and spun her around as he yelled, "MY BABE IS HAVING A CHILD!" Veronica giggled as he spun her, "Collins! Collins! Put me down!" He soon did and her body leaned against his. Collins kissed her lips passionately as she did the same. He was going to be a dad! Him!! He couldn't believe it! The man pulled away and looked at the most beautiful face he's ever laid eyes on, "This is the best anniversary gift ever!" Veronica laughed wiping the flowing tears from her eyes, "Haha, now pay up cutie."

"Don't mind if I do," Just as she thought he was going to lean in to kiss her, he pulled back lifting up two tickets, "here are two tickets to the fanciest restaurant in all California." Roni playfully punched him, "You little stinker!" She began to fake pout and he shrugged with a laugh, "Fine, here's some charity money." The wife rolled her eyes and grabbed his shirt collar, pulling him into her again.

Devan and Vanessa were now standing in the waiting room, pacing. The younger brother was anxious, "What's taking them so long?" Nessa sighed sadly, "I don't know.." A door flew open and came out Collins and Veronica, looking purely happy with tears stained on their cheeks. The other two started to become relieved. Devan smiled, "Is she all better?" Collins answered snuggling into Roni, "More than better.." Vanessa and Devan looked to her now who was grinning and crying like a crazy woman. She said through sniffles, "..I'm pregnant!" Vanessa gasped with shock and suddenly squealed, jumping up and down in the room, "OH MY GOSH!! RONI THATS AMAZING!!" Veronica cried more hugging her sister, "I can't believe it, sis. I'm going to be a mom! I'm going to be a mom!" Her sister began to get teary eyed as well, "I'm going to be an aunt!" Devan couldn't contain his excitement either, "I'm going to be an uncle! Bro, you'll be a dad!" Collins nodded breathlessly, "I'm going to be a dad.."

{Time Skip}

Veronica and Collins sat on their porch watching as the sun began to set. They felt the wind settle and they saw the bright color glow across the sky. It was silent as they enjoyed the view, but Collins was deep in thought. His wife began to notice, "You alright, babe?" He looked over at her with a small smile, "Yeah..it's just, I can't wait to have a child. I've always wanted to have a little one of my own, and now I will..but even though I'm so excited, I'm really nervous too."

Veronica frowned hugging Collins's arm, "Why?" Collins asked bluntly, "Am I going to be a good dad?" The woman was very surprised by that question, "Are you kidding me, babe? You're going to be an amazing father! You are already so caring and loving, and on top of that you will be able to teach your kid about integrity. Collins, you will be better that half of this country's fathers." He smiled lovingly at her beautiful complexion, "Thanks, hun. I really need that." Roni smirked, "I'll be here anytime you need anything." Collins smiled with a grin forming in his face, "Anything?" Roni rolled her eyes playfully, "Love you handsome."
"Love you beautiful." Love. My love.
