Dear mother of god what if I’m about to find out that I’m to become a father?
I manage to purchase a pregnancy test no problem and I’m now sitting in the bathroom with Sophie waiting on the test to either turn positive or negative. Strangely I’m very calm and at ease. The thought of becoming a father is not sending me running for the hills.
Sophie on the other hand is bouncing off the walls. She can’t stay still. I think she’s scared of the result. She doesn’t need to be scared, I will look after them both if that’s what it comes to. The thought of Sophie carrying my child excites me and I realise that it is something that I want. God, what a transformation from last year. This woman has done incredible things to me.
Suddenly Sophie snatches the test off the counter top and stares at the test for what seems to be hours though it’s probably only been seconds. I am on tender hooks here, I just wish she would hurry up and put me out of my misery.
“Come on Soph what does it say?” I’m dying to know, I really am.
“I’m pregnant Josh. I’m pregnant.” Sophie doesn’t even look at me. She just continues to stare at that stick. I need to put her mind at ease.
“Sophie I love you. We will make this work, for us and our baby. You are carrying our child and no matter what anyone says it was made out of love. We love each other and our baby will be loved too. It’s a lot sooner than anyone could of expected but to hell with it. We are unconventional and our baby is going to cherished.” I say happily.
Sophie stares at me as if I’m mad. Well, okay I might be but we are going to be parents and I can’t freaking wait! Sophie bursts into tears at my confession. God I love this woman of mine. “Oh Josh do you really think we can do this? I’m scared, really scared.”
“I know baby but we will survive together. We are a team now remember? I love you.” I kiss Sophie’s temple and she closes her eyes at the relief she is feeling.
“I love you too Josh.”
“Right babe lets go and tell the guys the news. They are going to be over the moon at having a Buried Alive love child. The very first one.” I smile at my beautiful woman reverentially.
We walk into the entertainment room where everyone has gathered. Mickey is in the corner of the room at the mini bar on his cell. We walk up to the guys and I put my arm round my woman’s shoulders. We are standing as a united front now. There is no stopping us.
“Guys, I want to announce that we are going to be parents. Sophie’s pregnant.” I say proudly. The guys exchange looks but I knew they would.
“Wow, congratulations dude. I’m happy for you really. This is such awesome news.” Blaine and I bump fists. We go around the rest of the group accepting their congratulations. I’m actually buzzing and Sophie seems to be warming up to the idea of us having a baby.
Mickey comes off the phone and looks very sullen as they walks over to us and hugs Sophie and he also gives me a man hug.
“What’s up Mick?” Zack asks obviously sensing the tension.
“That was my mom on the phone. My dad is back. I need to go home. She’s in trouble.
