Trying For a Baby/ Finding Out

Shit shit shit. That's all I can think as I sit on the toilet seat after I just finished throwing up. My period is late, my boobs hurt. I have all of the tell tale signs of being pregnant. Yes Antonio and I have spoken about having a baby, but we didn't mean now. We've only been together for a year, living together for only like 6 months, how's Antonio going to react. I suppose I first of all need to see if I'm actually pregnant so I grab my purse and head to the nearest convenience store. I pick up a box of pregnancy sticks, purchase them and run home before anyone can see me.

The longest 5 minutes of my life happen and now I'm staring at two pink lines. Shit.
Shaking I stand up and place the test on the side of the sink while I wash my hands. How am I going to tell Antonio? How do we tell Eva and Diego? Will it be frowned upon because Antonio and I aren't married or even engaged? Oh god and my brothers, how are they going to react? The sound of the door opening pulls me out of my thoughts
"YN?" Antonio shouts
"Coming" I throw the used stick in the trash and the unused I put in the cupboard with my pads. I run out of the bathroom and downstairs to greet Antonio. I kiss his cheek "how was work?"
"Made a few arrests so it was a good day. How was your day?"
"Fine. Cleaned the house, had a nap, sorted Eva and Diego's beds for when they come to stay next week"
"Have you eaten at all?" He asks, but the thought of food turns my stomach
"Er yeah, I ate earlier" I lie
"I'll order in then. You sure you won't want anything?"
"No I'm good" I smile. I make my way to the couch and sit down. After Antonio orders his food he sits next to me, I immediately snuggle into him.
His food finally arrives but when Antonio joins me back on the couch the smell makes me immediately run to the toilet
"Babe? You alright?" I hear him shout for me as I start heaving in the toilet bowl, bringing up the small amount of food I've managed to eaten today "babe?" I grab some toilet paper wipe my nose and mouth before flushing the toilet and brush my teeth "what's wrong? Are you not well?" Antonio frowns. My eyes start to water "babe talk to me what's going on?" Knowing I can't hid this from him I spit and take a deep breath sitting back on the seat of the toilet
"I'm pregnant" I whisper. After a moment of silence I look up at Antonio "please say something"
"I'm sorry, I was just waiting for you to tell me why your sad about this"
"Your not mad?"
"Why would I be mad?" Antonio smiles cupping my face in his hands "we're having a baby"
"We've only just moved in together and we didn't plan this for now. We've been carful"
"Have we though? I can think of a few occasions where I've..."
"Ok ok I get it" I giggle as Antonio wipes my tears
"That's that smile. I know we didn't plan to have this baby now, but we knew we would one day so what makes now any different? I love you YN YLN and I can't wait to meet this little one"
"I love you too Toni. So much. I'm just worried about Eva and Diego. Also what about my brothers. We aren't married and we have 8 years between us, what if people talk?"
"Then let them talk. Our friends don't care and anyway it's only 8 years, it not like I'm twice your age. Eva and Diego will be fine and if your worried about Laura then don't be. This is nothing to do with her. I'm 36 YN and I know you want at least 2 children so better to start now before we get to old" Antonio chuckles
"When should we tell Eva and Diego?"
"I think sooner rather than later. So they can get used to the idea, also they hopefully won't feel then like we've left them out"
"I agree" I nod my head
"You ready to leave the bathroom?"
"Yeah" I breathe out standing up with Antonio's help
"Do you want anything to eat now?"
"Maybe some pancakes with syrup?"
"Go sit on the couch and I'll make you some"
"Your the best" I kiss Antonio's cheek.
