Chasing Champions

Happiness, and a shock

Sarah POV:

As the days pass, the stress of everything that has happened starts to go away. And for the first time I can honestly say I was at ease. Don't get me wrong we still had a lot to get done and worry about but after the whole incident Chase and I tell each other everything, and it's made life a lot calmer. Since we found out we were having a little boy we had begun to get things ready. I painted one wall a really pretty royal blue with the others being the color of snow. While I know blue is what most people use if its a boy, my favorite color is blue so that's what we picked. We had gotten clothes, and funny enough it was Chase who wanted to go overboard. Like way overboard. But it really was adorable to see him be so into everything for our son. I can say it's safe to say he will spoil that boy to the end of his days. As I approach my 6th month, the morning sickness was still there, but we had found ways to keep it at bay. Either when I was Chases arms, at the track with the bikes running, or in the pool. But right now I was home alone as Chase was out with the boys, and it was storming so no track or pool. And I felt just a wee bit queasy but not bad, and I was really hoping it would stay that way.

As I was making dinner I got a text from Chase the he was on his way home and he would arrive in about 15 minutes, which was just about perfect timing. But as I take the chicken to the grill I get another text but from Layla. But as I read her text I frown, and start to worry. Even though we get along and always hang out when her and Jett come over, but never has she asked if she could come over and talk to me about something. I text her back saying of course and anytime is fine. I was so lost in my thoughts about what could be wrong that I missed Chase coming in and walking up to me till he kissed my cheek in greeting. Blinking I turn my head to him with a smile,

"Sorry, was lost in my thoughts. How was your day with the boys?"

As he took our plates to the table I grab the drinks and meet him there. I sit down as he answers,

"It was a good time with the guys, played some indoor golf and had fun. And what's on your mind sweetheart? Normally no one can sneak up on you."

I finish my bite before answering,

"Well that's good, I'm glad you all had a good time. And I got a out of the blue text from Layla right after I got yours."

I noticed him pause and look at me with a confused face,

"That is weird, did she say why?"

Shaking my head no with a sigh,

"No she didn't, just that she really needed to talk about something to me and wanted to know if she could swing by sometime here."

I could see him trying to think of a reason for her to ask that out of the blue. Shaking his head as he didn't have a clue either. Right as he was about to respond our front door busted open showing a shaking, teary eyed Layla. Getting up as fast as I could and rushing up to her and pulling her into a hug, which made her burst into sobs. Startled I turn my head to look at Chase as he walked up and he looked just as shocked and confused. I just continue to hold her till she calms down enough so we could move to the couch and sit down to figure out what was going on. At first it didn't seem she was going to talk, or better yet didn't know how to talk about what was going on. Finally getting fed up with herself she reaches into her bag and pulls something out in a sandwich bag handing it to me. I take it with a quick glance to a very confused looking Chase I glance down at what was in my hands and felt my heart sink. I was staring at what will not only change her life but Jett's as well. I lay the test on the table and slide down to my knees and sit in front of her taking her hands in mine,
