A different life (Completed)

She's having my baby

Eric's POV

It's been a full two months now that Dani and I have been dating and our 'deric' fans are loving it. Ever since the big announcement last month both of our twitter and Instagram accounts are loading up with fan questions and really creative fan art. I was surprised when I got a text from Sarah wanting to meet up for lunch. We're all still friends and apparently it's really important so I decided to agree as long as it was okay for Dani to join us. I don't want any kind of secrets in our relationship

Dani: eric are you sure you want me there? It's fine if you and Sarah meet up for lunch

I want you with me and she's fine with it. Are you ready to go?

Dani: yeah

We headed out to the restaurant where Sarah was already seated inside so we joined her at the table

Sarah: hi, I'm glad you made it

You said it's important so here I am. Is everything okay with you?

Sarah: yes, well not really. Eric i know how happy you are with dani and im enjoying being single for the first time in what seems like forever. I don't want to mess things up for you and I honestly didn't know until a few days ago

Could you slow down and actually tell me what your talking about?

Sarah: I'm pregnant

I'm happy for you, why would your pregnancy affect dani and me?

Sarah: how do you not get what I'm trying to say. We broke up about two and a half months ago and I've been single ever since. I'm three months pregnant with your baby. Even though we both fell out of love it was always just you and me when we were together and I do want a family, but I honestly didn't want it this way

I haven't even processed what you just told me.

Sarah: well you take your time processing and we can figure something out then. Eric I honestly can handle this on my own if that's what you want. Your really happy right now and I don't want to be the reason for issues in your relationship with Daniela

You know I won't let you do this alone. Your having my child so it's my responsibility. I won't abandon you

Sarah: I'm glad you won't. I should give you time and we'll talk soon. It was nice seeing you Dani

Dani: yeah, it was nice to see you too

Sarah got up and left leaving dani and me alone at the table. She was as shocked as I was but didn't say a word

Do you want to talk about this? I get it if it's too much for you, it's too much for me

Dani: I need time to think Eric. This is a child we're talking about

I understand. Do you want me to take you home?

Dani: I'll catch a cab, eric I really need to think for a while. I'm not walking away from us I just need thinking time

Are you still headed to Portugal at the end of the week to visit your family?

Dani: yeah. I have to go, I'll call you later

I watched her walk away from me with the most heartbroken look on her face. I hate the way things are going right now but I can't say I regret my time with sarah. There was a time when we were so in love and I know she's be an amazing mother to my child. Sarah's a good person and we still have a friendship so I know she won't make this hard for me

I went back to my house alone after leaving the restaurant. I really needed to think things over and I did just that. Dani hadn't called like she said and I think it's best I let her think things over on her own. Eventually sleep consumed me after hours of sitting up in my bedroom thinking of what things will be like once that baby, my baby actually comes

The days turned into weeks. Dani had texted when she left for Portugal but after that was nothing. I think she's trying to figure things out and I haven't done it yet either. Four weeks without hearing her voice is killing me

Today I have an appointment with sarah at the doctors office. She's now four months into her pregnancy so there's time for a check up on our little guy or girl. Maybe seeing my baby can help get my mind off dani for a while. When I walked in the doctor was just about to start Sarah's ultrasound

Sarah: hey, we were waiting for you

Yeah, I'm sorry I'm late, I lost track of time thinking

Sarah: thinking about Dani? I noticed she hasn't been around for a while and your obviously not talking about it

She's been visiting her family in Portugal for the past few weeks. She should be home by next week. So do we get to see if we're having a boy or girl today?

Doctor Rollins: yes you do Mr olsen. That's if it's what you want of course

Sarah: we want to know

Doctor Rollins: well we can see right here that your having a little boy, congratulations. He's looking good in there

I can't believe we made that little person, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

Sarah: he really is. We're really having a baby boy

We really are. I'm so happy that I met you Eric. Even if we didn't work out we made this beautiful baby boy and I love him so much already

So do I

When sarah was all done I helped her down from the table and took her out for lunch. We talked for a while before I dropped her off at her house. It was a good talk about possible names and when we'd start shopping for our guy and it did get my mind off of the situation with dani, but being home alone brings me right back to thinking about her. I headed up to my bedroom and changed the hopped into bed. I checked my messages and there were a few from mom, but still nothing from Dani. Honestly the silence is killing me and I want her home so we can talk, but she won't be back for another week. I guess I'll have to wait, as much as I hate it I know it's the best option
