“You haven’t moved since I left?” asked Audrina when she returned home.
“Huh? Oh uh…no. There’s no need to. This is my day off, remember?” he asked smugly.
Audrina giggled. “Yes, I remember.”
“So is everything ok? What did the doc say?”
“Oh um…I’m fine,” she said.
“You’re fine? If you’re fine, then why have you been so nauseous?”
“Well….because….I’m pregnant.”
“Don’t kid, girl! You serious?!” he exclaimed happily, nearly knocking the chair behind him over.
“You’re happy?” she asked, stunned at his reaction. She honestly didn’t know how he felt about having children. She didn’t even know how she felt. They were both still young and their financial situation wasn’t all that great. Also, the fact that Ethan never mentioned having children made Audrina extremely nervous.
“Hell yeah, I’m happy!” Ethan squeezed Audrina in a tight bear hug. “This is gonna be great! I’ll make the perfect husband and father! I promise you that!”
Audrina’s tear ducts started getting warmer by the second. She couldn’t believe something exciting was finally happening to her. First an engagement; now a baby. The only thing missing was Dean.
I’ll find him, she thought.
I’ll find him if it’s the last thing I do!
