Imagine Person A of your OTP is pregnant and hasn’t yet told Person B. One day, A and B are doing something together, when B suddenly says “I know about the baby”. You choose what happens next.
Rowan had been having another bad day. It had been a series of bad days in a series of bad weeks. All day during her day at the hospital she had just wanted to go home and watch a movie. Her job sucked.
“Hey Des?”
“Yeah Rowan?”
“Want to pick up Chinese food on your way home?”
“Only because I love you.”
“Love you too.”
She arrived home at six, showered and got into his old soccer shirt and loose, loose sweatpants. Everything was really tight since she had found out that she was pregnant. Of course, that had been four weeks ago. She hadn’t told Des yet, besides the constant pestering from Maddie.
Des should’ve been the first to know, but his career was just taking off. He was a big shot environmental lawyer, and he had just gotten one of the biggest cases of his career. She was a neurologist, and was specializing memory loss. They had finally bought a bigger house in Concord, a blue colonial with a striking resemblance of Salem house.
“It’s for when we have kids Rowan,” Des had reasoned when they decided to buy it. “Not like that’s going to happen anytime soon.” They both had a good laugh about that, but that was six months before Rowan had found out that she was pregnant.
She curled on the couch and turned on Netflix, searching for a Disney musical. She loved those things.
The front door cracked open as Des burst through the door.
“Hey baby,” She looked around to see him standing in their living room behind the couch she was lying on, holding a bag of Chinese take out. His sleeves were rolled up around his elbows, his hair ruffled. She couldn’t wait to hear about that.
“Hey,” She stood up kissing him and grabbing the bag of food out of his hand and heading towards the kitchen. She grabbed all that she wanted and placed it into a bowl. She then returned to the couch to continue watching Pocahontas.
Des came in wearing a Harvard University sweatshirt and pajama pants. He sat there watching with her. She leaned on his chest. This was what he was for after all.
“I know about the baby.”
That certainly caught her attention.
“What?”
“I know that you’re pregnant.”
“How?”
“I’m not unobservant Rowan. I saw you vomiting occasionally in the morning and I noticed the little belly. I noticed you were more tired. And I noticed you were hiding something from me. It wasn’t that hard to tell. Why didn’t you tell me? You know that this is what I’ve always wanted.”
She rested her hand on the tiny bump.
“You were so busy with your case. I didn’t know how you would react. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.”
“Rowan…” [if !supportLineBreakNewLine] [endif]
He kissed her, leaning over and rubbing a hand on her bump.
“I love you. You can always tell me anything.”
“I love you too.”
