She smiled happily and because he had succeeded with the entire setup and location. “To make some babies, huh? Which are going to be complete cuties if I do say so my self,” She smiled playfully before her mind began to wander and the imaginative scenario of a small being with them, lounging in the hut with them and probably even napping right about now, it made her think. A lot, and just one thought led to another before she was off in la la land, picture the future.

“It’s so surreal. All that planning and we finally crossed that finish line and began a new journey.” She sighed as she tucked hair behind her ear, returning from her mental escape into parenthood. “I’m not nauseous anymore, which is great because that means that I can stomach a burger with bacon. Oh and advocados sound good too.” She chuckled lightly before she thought about the toppings. It wasn’t until she rubbed her hungry stomach that a thought dawned on her, based on the gesture, one that felt like history repeating right about now.

“What’s today’s date?” She asked, quickly sitting up while she unlocked her phone.

“Yeah, come on you know once we get back that’s all anyone is going to be asking,” he laughed as he played with her fingers. He watched her for a moment and almost saw her mind working and knew what she was thinking about. He thought about it too. “They are going to be adorable, who are you kidding,” he chuckled as he kissed her again. 

“I know. It’s insane. I can’t believe we actually did it,” he said as his arms went around her. When she started talking about food, he tilted his head and laughed. “That’s an interesting combo,” he laughed before thinking, “A burger sounds really good. But I’m glad you don’t feel nauseous.” He relaxed back a little before noticing her quickly sat up. “Um..I don’t know. I think it’s like the 8th or something.”

Andrea’s eyes danced around the screen as she looked between dates. Had she been calculating incorrectly? Perhaps the numbers were off and the entire haze of wedding planning and Grant’s small filming period might just be throwing her off. Those were her exact thoughts right now at least. She slowly put her phone down and rested her head against his chest. “Let’s go get that food and maybe hit the jacuzzi?” She suggested, looking up at him, her lips puckering in the process. She just couldn’t get enough of his kisses. Could anyone blame her?

The Honeymoon

Being married was much more magical than Andrea could make justice for with the simple use of words - at the same time it was something so natural because all that changed was her last name. Grant was the usually bubbly and amazing guy that he was two months ago if not better and her love for him only grew by the day. He made her happy and she continued to strive to reciprocate the feeling. They had finally made it to their honeymoon location, one that Grant had planned out and surprised Andrea with. A couple of days into the vacation, she felt uneasy and sick, but she knew that it just had to be the excitement of being married and finally being in solitude and comfort of each others presence. The hotel staff had been treating them like royalty and spoiled them with hospitality and a breathtaking view.

They were currently both cuddled up in a small hut overlooking the ocean as they didn’t want to do too much, not only for her sake of recovery, but also because of how relaxed they felt. Andrea took a photo of the view before she sighed and looked up at her spouse who was reclined against the back of the hut and the pillows lining it. “I’m so obsessed with this place. It’s so beautiful. We are definitely coming back in the near future. this is so going to be our getaway place.” She chuckled softly, her arm draped over him so that her hand cupped the back of his head. “It’ll be a tradition of ours to vacation here in the years to come.”

Two months later and Grant was still surprised that he was finally married. They had decided to put their honeymoon on hold so Grant could finish filming and it was better than he could have expected. Not having to worry about work only made this honeymoon even better. Sitting in the hut they had, he smiled as he just looked over at his wife. It sucked that she was sick, but he made the most of it and just had them relax. That’s what you did on a beach anyway right? Letting his arms drape around her, he sighed as he just sat there with her. 

Cuddled up together was the best space to be for him. Of course he missed the dogs, but this was amazing. Grabbing his phone, he took a picture of the view before sneaking one of the both of them. “I knew it would be amazing,” he smiled as he looked at her and rested his head against hers. “I could stay here forever. Oh trust me, we are definitely coming back here,” he laughed as he kissed her cheek. “A tradition, huh? I can see that. Could be a family thing, it’ll be great. Bring our kids here and maybe the whole family. Make it a thing, but then it could also be our own little get away to make some babies,” he laughed as he leaned down and kissed her. “God…I still can’t believe we’re married. Anyway, you feeling better?” he asked concerned about her.

She had just picked out a second option, one she would probably test with too just to be sure of the outcome. As she read the label, she felt his presence and looked up at him with a raise of her eyebrows. “Yep. I found two and they’re not dollar tests,” she chuckled lightly in attempt to lift the mood. “Saw this one on a commercial once.” She tapped the box in her hand then sighed. “I’ll go pay for this back there. Do you want to just start the car or something?” She looked at his hands and at his choices of snacks. “I can pay for those too. Just so you don’t get a chance of being recognized.”

Looking at her he nodded. He laughed at her comment before shaking her head. “Then it should work,” he shrugged. When she mentioned paying he sighed and nodded. “Yeah, okay. I’ll go start the car,” he smiled as he kissed her head and handed her the snacks he got. 

[lathoma3]

Andrea smiled warmly at Grant as he walked away and sighed as a million and one thoughts roamed through her mind. Was she ready to be a mom? What if Grant wasn’t ready? But she knew that regardless of the outcome, she would be okay. They would be okay. Once she paid for everything, she walked out of the pharmacy and to the car. She got in and set the bags down on the floor by her legs then buckled up. She looked over at him and lifted a hand to his cheek, stroking it before she went on to cup the back of his head. “Ready?”

“And where did you get that bit of information?” She asked, teasing him a bit. “I only know of one brand and it’s the one that my best friend used when she found out that she was expecting.” As she spoke, she had to remind herself to speak as discretely as possible because they were now out in a public place where Grant might get recognized and she didn’t want people jumping to assumptions based on their shopping list, especially because she wasn’t even certain that it was indeed something. “Can you check for those chips that we ate at the movie theater when we went? I really liked them.” She offered him a small smile, knowing that he knew the snack. She released his hand and waited for him to walk away far enough to give her the chance to pick out the test she hoped wouldn’t let her down based on her best friends experience. She read the label and sighed, looking at other options as backup.

“Movies and stuff,” he shrugged before chuckling. When they walked into the store, he looked around at everything before back down at her. “Oh yeah, I’ll go get us some junk food. We may need it,” he laughed as he let go of her hand and walked in the opposite direction. He grabbed a bunch of junk food and some drinks for them before heading back to try and find Andrea. “You find it?” he asked when he spotted her in one of the aisles. “Wow..” he said looking at all the different types that they had.

Andrea couldn’t explain how she had gotten so lucky with such a wonderful man. He was kind, smart, funny, and he was so caring that it made her heart ache-in the best way only, of course. He cared for her and her feelings and it was something that she knew she was blessed with. She held his hand over her lap as soon as he laced their fingers and sighed as they were nearing the strip mall. “Oh, good.” She smiled softly before she leaned over and kissed his cheek. “I love you.” She reassured him before she got out and saw that there was a pharmacy. “They should definitely have some tests there. I don’t even care what brand they are, to be honest.” She shook her head and took his hand as soon as he was by her side. “Are you ready?” She gave his hand a light squeeze as she looked up at him.

Pulling into one of the spaces, he smiled when she kissed his cheek. “I love you too,” he said looking over at her. “They should definitely have them. I would care, the dollar ones don’t sound so reliable” he chuckled as he got out of the car. Fixing the hat on his head, he sighed before reaching for her hand. His mind started racing to the fear that someone would recognize him. He wasn’t super famous, but there was always the off chance that some random person was a fan of the show and knew who he was. “Yeah, let’s go,” he said as he walked in with her.

“Honestly? I’m terrified, I’m worried about so many things. But I don’t want to freak out and freak you out in the process. I know that I’ve gotta be strong and stay collected for the sake of, well-us.” She shrugged slightly because she wanted him to know that she wasn’t taking this situation and possibility lightly. “I just.. I don’t know exactly how to react properly to this.” Once she was in the car, the idea that there was a chance of a tiny human inside of her scared her, but she knew that she had to remain stress free for her and grant and.. for the possibility. Her best friend being a mom, taught her many things including how to one day protect her own if she ever had one. Could that day have arrived for her as well?

Grant stopped when they got to the car and put his hands on her cheeks. “You don’t have to be strong for us. It’s okay to be terrified and want to break down. You react how you want to react, I’m not going to judge you or whatever if you feel a certain way,” he said as he leaned forward and gave her a kiss. Getting into the drivers side, he looked over at and smiled before reached over and taking her hand as he pulled out. Intertwining their fingers, he let his thumb rub against her hand as he found a strip mall that seemed to be open. “Look, food and a store a few doors over.”

She sighed and took the opportunity to wrap her arms around him. “Let’s get some food and then we can try another store. We’ll figure something out.” She rubbed his back softly and pecked his lips. “It is weird. but hey, we get to go for a shopping adventure now,” she smiled warmly, in attempt to lift his mood. “Let’s see what we find elsewhere.”

Grant kissed the top of her head as he held her for a moment. “Yeah, food. I’m all for food,” he said as he looked down at her kissing her back. “A shopping adventure. You’re oddly calm,” he chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her. “Sure, let’s see what’s around,” he said as they got back to the car.

She couldn’t explain it but with every passing moment, every day and every new experience whether premeditated or a spur of the moment - Grant made Andrea feel like they could do anything together.

They mutually decided to make a run to the closest drug store to purchase a test and the closer that they got, the more nervous she felt. When they arrived, she wasn’t sure if she was relieved… or glad but the store was closed, something that they figured out together as she gave the door handle a good tug and it didn’t open. “Business hours 8-12 on a Friday? What?” She scoffed reading their hours on the door. “What if someone gets sick and needs medicine? What if a child is suffering from teething pain and the store is closed early? Poor little thing has to hold out until another store is found.. this should not be allowed.” She groaned and rubbed her forehead. “I’m sorry. I’m fine,” she sighed, knowing that she had to keep herself calm and collected. 

Letting out a sigh with his hand in hers as they went to the drug store only made him more nervous. Not about how people would react if this were a thing that happened, but about how he wasn’t even sure if he was ready to be a dad. When the door was locked he looked down at L and made a face. “What?! This is stupid. Aren’t these things supposed to be like 24/7 or something,” he said pulling at the handle. “No it’s okay,” he said wrapping an arm around her. “We can try to find another store,” he asked looking down at her.

Grant smiled down at her and could tell the fear and worry in her voice. “Then we’ll go get a test and see what it says.” It wasn’t until she brought up him that he looked at her confused. “Babe, I don’t care what people think of me. My personal life and public life are two separate things. They don’t dictate me or us. “You don’t need to be concerned with me. And you don’t need to worry about what people think, I don’t. For Me? Baby, you don’t need to worry about me. It’s my life and internet trolls can suck it,” he smiled before wrapping his arms around her in a hug.

Furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at her, Grant let out a breath as he listened to what she was saying. “Wait…seriously?” he asked when she finally finished speaking. “We’ve been careful though…” he mumbled before looking over at her. His head was wrapped up in thoughts before he finally put his hands back on her waist. “L…look. Whatever happens we got this. I’m not going anywhere. We’ll get through this together. Do you have an appointment, did you take a test?” 

“I-I’m not sure. It’s a possibility.” She shrugged slightly and her heart was racing with every passing second. When she felt his hands on her waist again, she knew that she was probably not doing a great job of hiding her shock. Shock because of how he responded. She finally felt the emotions set in and her eyes watered with relief but also worry. “I-I was thinking that I could just buy a test and check that way. Then, no one finds out and you don’t get slammed for this. I’m not so concerned of what people will think of me because they’re going to judge my every move anyway.. but i’m worried about what this might mean.. for you.” She admit, looking up into his eyes after what felt like forever of not having done so even though in reality it had only been about a minute.

The girl giggled as she swayed with her boyfriend, her favorite guy. “As much as I didn’t see it coming entirely, I won’t complain at all,” she commented with a slight shrug of her shoulders as she looked up into his eyes and danced with him. “This is perfect,” she repeated softly, closing the space between them. She looked down as they danced and she felt her heart race as she thought about something, something that had been on her mind for a couple of days since realizing it. She didn’t know how to bring it up because she was scared, scared of what it could mean for them if her thoughts were in fact true. “Speaking of things coming..” She looked down and exhaled sharply as she told herself that it was now or never. “There’s something else that hasn’t happened and it usually does- like clockwork for me and… this month it just hasn’t.” She lowered her hands to his chest as looked at his shirt as fear took over her.

He chuckled as he looked down at her. “I love you,” he murmured as he leaned forward and kissed her head. Swaying with her he couldn’t notice her small shift. It wasn’t until she spoke that he knew something was up. “What are you talking about?” he asked confused. 

[lathoma3]

She felt heat rise to her face when it dawned on her that she wasn’t expressing herself coherently and he wasn’t following. “Okay..” She cleared her throat and paused the swaying so that she was able to focus on a way to get the message across. “I-I’m late. It’s only by a couple of days and it could be nothing and just due to the rush of the holidays and the meeting of families and plans but, somethings off. And.. you and I, we’ve been careful but these things happen where somehow something happens and…” she didn’t know how to make her point without bluntly saying what she was attempting to simplify what can be an awkward and scary conversation. “I want to get tested but I wanted to talk to you about it first.. because I don’t know how you even feel about having kids. And I know that it’s so soon in our relationship..” She tried an approach that she felt sounded less intimidating.

Deck the Halls

Andrea knew that Christmas decorating wouldn’t be complete without mugs of hot cocoa. She and Grant had picked out what seemed like the perfect tree; something about it screamed Granthoma as their supporters named them, the few fans that approved of the two dating and actually sent positivity and encouragement. The girl followed with her family tradition and brought a small box of ornaments for them to add to the ornaments they’d bought together. “Here’s your cocoa,” she smiled brightly as she joined him in the living room where tinsel, pine and ornament hooks were scattered about. Jett and Nora joined at their feet, tails wagging happily. “I love this song,” she turned the volume up on the tv which had been set to the Sounds of the Season music channel. She took a sip from her hot cocoa before she set it down and picked up a tinsel garland which she wrapped around his shoulders.

Grant fixed the tree and started putting up the lights for it before turning around and seeing Andrea. “Well hey,” he said taking the hot cocoa from her. “This is perfect,” he said kissing her cheek. When she turned up the must he started laughing. “Mine too!” he said before he was caught off guard by her putting the tinsel around his neck. Walking over to her, he wrapped an arm around her waist before taking her hand with the other and started dancing with her. “You walked into that one,” he chuckled as he swayed with her.

LA happily followed Grant into the trailer and was instantly greeted by the puppies. “Hi, babies!” She sat down on the couch and picked them up then placed them beside her. She gave them belly rubs and pet them as she looked up at her boyfriend. “Well, I did some work over there and I was able to also bring some with me. I thought I’d surprise you so… I took a flight over and well here I am.” She grinned and stood up, put her cup down and sat on his lap. “I’ll be here for a couple of days before we fly back out, to Ohio. Only if that’s cool with you?” She wrapped an arm around his shoulders and looked down at him.

Grant smiled as he sat on the couch next to her. “You are the best, do you know that?” he asked with a smile before draping his arms around her when she sat in his lap. “That’s fine with me. I’m definitely cool with that. I’m just glad you’re here, now you can actually see what I do,” he laughed before leaning in and kissing her. 

[lathoma3]

Andrea had never experienced the warm fuzzy feelings before Grant and she knew, she just felt that he was the one for her - he was her person. She hoped that he felt it too because every time that she looked into his eyes, she knew that she was home. “Only the best for you,” she smiled before she pecked his lips a couple of times in a playful manner. “I’m excited to see what a day in the life looks like for the man of speed.” She chuckled softly, kissing all over his face.
