Could you write something where Pat finds out your pregnant please?
I walked across the semi-empty baseball field, feeling my heart beating in my throat. I could hear the distant chatter and yelling of the D-Backs from the parking lot and while it normally would have calmed me it only raised my nerves.
From the looks of the scoreboard, the D-Backs had tied the game, three to three, and they didn’t seem too put off by it.
That eased my conscience slightly. Slightly.
As I came upon the dugout I could see Pat slowly packing up his things, talking about one of his hits to Barone who wasn’t listening. When he saw me his face lit up, a bright smile growing on his lips. It didn’t make me feel any better.
“Hey babe, what are you doing here, I thought you didn’t feel good this morning?” He asked.
“I… I just wanted to come check on you guys, see how the game went,” I answered shakily, trying to keep my hands from showing my tremors. The boys all went around telling little bits and pieces of the game to me, voices overlapping and laughing and loud.
Pat recognized the look of fear on me the second I spoke.
“Guys, I’m just gonna take her home, I can tell she’s not feeling well,” Pat said suddenly, cutting off Dells’ story about striking out one of the opposite players.
As each of them said goodbye and gave words of encouragement to get better my heart grew heavier and heavier.
I wrung my hands and Pat and I walked across the field until we got just past the outfield fence.
“So what is it?” He asked quietly. Knowingly.
My heart lurched.
“Pat, I… I just… I love you, you know that? So goddamn much,” I started, my voice already growing thick.
“Are you breaking up with me?” He asked suddenly, turning to face me. The look in his eyes only made the lump in my throat bigger.
“No! Pat, no I’m not breaking up with you, I promise. I just needed to tell you, I…” I paused, closing my eyes to try and stop the quickly welling tears from rolling down my cheeks. Despite my efforts, a warm, fat tear slipped down my cheek, quickly wiped away by Pat’s thumb.
“Y/N, baby, what’s wrong?” he asked, his voice soft and warm and comforting.
“You can tell me anything, you know that. I love you, nothing you could ever say would change-”
“I’m pregnant,” I blurted, opening my eyes and watching him stare at me. A look of shock came over his face while a sob exited my mouth.
“You’re…” he trailed off, looking down at my stomach as if I was already showing.
I pressed a hand over my mouth, trying to calm myself down. For a few seconds, I just stood there crying while Pat looked at me. I thought for sure he would break up with me now, he doesn’t want anything to do with a kid, of course, he doesn’t, its too much-
Pat pulled me into a tight hug, one hand tight on my waist while the other pressed on the back of my neck comfortingly. I quickly reciprocated, gripping on the back of his jersey to try and ground myself.
Pat mumbled something into my hair before kissing my head, I pulled back, sniffling.
“What?”
When I pulled back I saw the enormous grin on his face and my heart lifted ever so slightly.
“I’m gonna be a dad! I’m gonna-” he paused, laughing and turning his head up to the sky before yelling, “I’M GONNA BE A DAD!”
He quickly turned his face back down and pressed his lips to mine sweetly, wrapping his arms tight around me and picking me up, spinning.
“WHAT?” Ty yelled from the dugout. Pat set me down gently and I watched, his happiness seeping into my skin as he yelled back.
“I’M GONNA BE A FUCKING DAD!”
All the boys jumped and whooped excitedly in response.
Pat turned back to me, placing his hands on the sides of my head and kissing all over my face.
“I love you, fuck, I love you so much. I can’t believe you’re…” he spoke in between kisses, laughing and kissing my lips again finally.
My head was dizzy with joy at his reaction. And to think, I was dreading telling him.
“I’m going to be the best fucking dad ever, I swear,” he whispered, his arms tight around my body again. I only nodded in answer, my tears turning from ones of dread to ones of relief.
