Expecting

You paced the floor in the living room nervously holding a pregnancy test in your hand.
"Sit down will you? you're making me dizzy." Your best friend Robin complained.
"I can't sit down. Not until I see these results." You said right as the kitchen timer you had set went off.
Your eyes widened.
Robin stood up and approached you. She put her hands over your trembling hands.
"We'll look together okay? Just breathe." She said.
"I'm scared Robin." You said with your voice cracking.
"I know. But no matter what, it's going to be okay." She said. "Come on, deep breaths." Robin coached.

You nodded and took a deep breath in and let it out.
"Ready?" Robin asked.
You nodded again and Robin flipped the test over in your hands. You looked down at the test and the two very clear pink lines made your heart palpitate.
"What am I supposed to do? How do I tell Eddie?!" You panicked and started pacing again.

Just then the door to the trailer opened and Eddie, Gareth and Jeff walk, in. You discreetly put the pregnancy test in the back pocket of your jeans.

"Baby you are not going to believe what just happened!" Eddie grinned and kissed you on the cheek as he walked to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took the six pack of beer out and started passing them around. He went to give you one and you shook your head.
"I have to work tonight babe." You smiled.
"You work at a bar." Eddie chuckled.
"Yet they seem to frown upon the bartender being drunk." You smirked.
"Suit yourself." Eddie said and put his arm around your waist pulling you close.

"So what are we celebrating?" You asked.
"So there we are, setting up for our show tonight at the hideout, when this big wig looking dude dressed to the nines approaches us." Eddie said, ever the storyteller.
"He says he saw us play last Tuesday night and he liked what he saw." Eddie said.
"Oh! Who was he?" You asked.
"He was a co-owner of a record label in LA" Gareth blurted out.

Your eyes widened and you turned back to Eddie.
"A record label?" You asked.
Eddie nodded. You squealed and threw your arms around him.
Eddie chuckled.
"We have a meeting tomorrow to talk contracts, a first album and a possible tour in the states!" Eddie exclaimed. "You have to be there baby."
"Of course I'll be there! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" You said excitedly
"This is it. This is going to change our lives." Eddie grinned.

Your heart dropped as you remembered the pregnancy test in your back pocket. Eddie had just got the biggest news of his life and the news you had for him could put a stop to everything.
You pulled away from Eddie.
He cocked his head curiously at you and the sudden drop of the mood.
"I..need a minute." You said and went into yours and Eddie's bedroom and closed the door.

You paced the floor anxiously chewing your fingernails. You felt like you were about to ruin Eddie's life. Tears started falling uncontrollably. The door opened and Eddie poked his head in.
"You okay baby?" He asked you and then stepped in noticing that you were crying.
"Whats wrong?" He asked you. "I thought you would be happy." He said.
"Eddie, I am so incredibly happy for you. This is your dream and its finally happening for you." You said.
"Then why are you crying?" Eddie asked.

You sighed and pulled the pregnancy test from your back pocket and handed it to him.
"Because I'm about to ruin it." You said.
Eddie looked down at the test and looked back up at you.
"Is this what I think it is?" He asked. "Are you pregnant?"
You nodded. "I'm sorry-" You started but couldn't finish what you were saying because Eddie picked you up and spun you around.
"Don't be sorry! This is the best news of my life!" Eddie grinned.
"But its going to ruin your dream." You said and sniffled.
"Sweetheart, the music, the contracts, the albums, the tours, thats just a means to secure the dream. You, Me..." He paused and put your down and knelt down and lifted your shirt and pressed a kiss to your stomach "And this little jellybean? That's the real dream."

Your eyes welled over.
"You really mean that?" You asked.
"Of course. We are going to be the coolest parents ever, baby! Come on, we have to go tell the guys!" He said and hurried out of the room.
"Guys! I'm going to be a Dad!" He shouted from the hallway as he ran to the living room. Gareth and Jeff started hooting and hollering with him and as you walked into the living room Robin walked over to you.
"You see, I told you it was going to be okay." She smiled.
