.

Kyle shot off the sofa as he stood. He was almost bouncing on his feet with excitement.

He came bounding over to my body and picked me up in his strong arms.

"We're going to have a baby!" He said, his deep voice hoarse but loud. I could feel the happiness radiating from his body.

He spun me around and I laughed as the air pushed through my hair.

He set me back down on the floor. He grabbed my face and pushed my lips against his hard and then pushed himself away to grab his phone.

"What are you doing?" I laughed.

"I don't know," he chuckled back before looking back to me with his twinkling eyes. "I can't believe it, Cali, we're going to have a family," he gushed. I nodded my head and smiled at the thought.

"We are." I could honestly say I was scared, yes, but excited too at the same time.

Kyle seemed ecstatic that I was pregnant, and I was actually happy he was. Of course he'd be happy to start a new family, I shouldn't have thought otherwise.

My veins were bubbling with excitement, and for now the nervousness could leave my body.

"I've got to go and tell my parents!" Kyle beamed before setting on his way.

"Wait!" I shouted before he got to the front door. He stopped and turned to look at me. "Can we wait? To tell people I mean?"

"Why?" He asked as he came forward to me. I sighed.

"I want to go and check up first to make sure everything is okay and that the test was definitely accurate and plus we should both do it when the family is all together," I smiled his way in hopes he would agree too. He nodded and the smile was back on to his face.

"Okay," he pulled me in to his arms again and I rested my cheek on his chest. I sighed in content.

"I was so scared you wouldn't want a baby," I let out truthfully. "So nervous you would rather leave than be here with a pregnant wife," I can't believe I even thought that. Kyle would never be like that, I'm sure it just wasn't in him, and as his wife I should have known.

"You stupid girl." He stated back, his voice low. "I'm your husband not a dick head," I laughed at his comment.

Kyle pulled away from my body, it felt as if his brain was working over time. I could almost feel the clogs turning in his mind.

"What are you thinking?" I asked as I looked to him. His blue eyes met mine and he kissed my head before bounding to the door again. "Where are you going?" I called.

"I'll be back in half an hour, baby," was his statement before he shut the door after him.

I looked at the door for a moment as I wondered where the hell he went.

After a few minutes, I shrugged and made my way to the kitchen.

I picked up my phone that was laying on the counter and dialled Matts number.

He picked up after only a couple of rings.

"Baby girl?" His voice came out the other end.

"I told him," I stated.

"Already? Shit, I didn't think you'd get it done this soon." He chuckled to himself. "How did it go?"

"He was getting angry that I was holding out on him, I told him straight out-"

"Not one to beat around the bush are you, girl?" I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see me.

"No." I laughed. "He was delighted, Matt, you should have been here to see him, I'm so happy he's happy, I'm really excited,"

"I knew you would be, it makes it all better once you know you're not alone and that Kyle is there for you and the baby every step of the way," he said down the phone and I wanted to kiss him because I loved him so much.

"I love you, Matt, I don't know where I'd be without you."

"I love you too, baby girl, right I best be off, I got an Internet dating account to set up," he said.

"Internet dating?" I spluttered.

"Well, you're married and having a baby and I'm still single, I swear if I don't get a boyfriend now I'll forever be alone, times catching up with us."

"You're nearly 20, Matt, you have forever," I laughed. He chuckled in return.

"In five years time I'll be a quarter of the way to one hundred years old, now, that's just not enough time!" He gushed. I rolled my eyes. Ever so dramatic.

"Well, pick wisely."

"I might sign me up on one of those BDSM websites." He stated and I burst out laughing again.

"You do that." Matt chuckled along with me.

"Adios, baby girl."

"Bye Matt." I was still laughing even after I got off the phone. He always knew how to brighten up my day.

As I looked in the fridge (was I hungry or just bored?) a thought came rushing to my mind.

I'd have to go back to the institute to tell my mother about her grand child in coming, she was the closest thing I had to family, along with Tammy.

I suppose dad already knew, that's if he was looking down, of course. But I needed to tell my mother.

I didn't really want to go back to that place, but I needed to see her. It was only fair.

Suddenly, the door knocked. I huffed in annoyance just as I was about to go and sit back down on the sofa.

I pulled myself to the front door and opened it.

"Tammy?" I asked as she stood there with a big smile on her face.

"Hey, I'm coming in." She stated as she pushed passed me and made her way on to the sofa. I looked to her with confusion and astonishment for a minute.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. She picked up the remote and put on the tele before leaning back and propping her feet on the near by coffee table.

"Kyle rang me up and told me to come here and baby sit you until he's back." Tammy stated as her eyes stuck to the tele in front of her.

"Why?" I asked. Did Kyle tell her? Baby sit me? I could have laughed.

Tammy shrugged her shoulders absentmindedly as her eyes never strayed from the centre of her attention.

"I had to quickly get over here before I missed any more of gossip girl. The things I do for you and that boy." She shook her head in disbelief.

"Well then," I sat down beside her. I had never really watched gossip girl, but it didn't look too bad.

Conversation was pretty much dead as the programme still ran on. I was engrossed in the tele, but I also wondered where Kyle had ran off to.

"Tam?" I grabbed her attention. She hummed in reply. "Did Kyle tell you where he went?" I asked.

"Nope, just told me to come here and look after you because you were ill and he didn't want you to be on your own." She seemed distracted with the tele but I nodded anyway. "It's cute, he's good to you, you're lucky to have him." I smiled at her comment.

"I know." And I did know. I couldn't live without Kyle. I loved him to the point of death. I couldn't wait for the future held with him.

"I'm still swooning over your wedding, believe it or not." Tammy stated. The end credits started to roll and Tammy looked to me for the first time today. "You're glowing, good sex, huh?" I almost spluttered on my own spit.

"Uh-"

"You don't even have to say anything, I know a glowing female when I see one." She winked my way and I'm sure my mouth opened and closed like a gaping fish.

Just as I was about to reply again, I heard the front door opening.

Kyle came in to the room with a beaming smile on his face. I looked to him with confusion.

"Thanks, Tam, I owe you one." Kyle stated and Tammy got up from the sofa, kissed me on the cheek and left.

I'm sure my face was still painted in confusion.

"Where have you been?" I asked him as he sat down beside me.

He pulled me into the side of his body and I snuggled down. He switched the channel over to a football game and also snuggled down beside me.

"Well, I went to talk to my dad-"

"You didn't tell him did you?" I asked as I looked to him. I told him not to.

"No, baby, I asked him for a job at his company." He stated. I sat up properly as I looked to him.

"What? Really?" Kyle nodded his head.

"Yeah, he gave the job to me straight away, I promised him I wouldn't let him down and I know he believes I wouldn't, he's put it into my head since I was born, the company I mean. He's ecstatic I've agreed to have the job anyway." He said with a small smile. I hugged him.

"Congratulations, babe." I replied as I kissed his cheek. He smiled down at me lovingly. "Can I ask why you did that today?"

"Because now you're pregnant, I need a job to keep the money rolling in for you and baby in there." He pointed to my belly and poked it. I giggled.

"What about univeristy?" I asked.

"I don't need that, we just need money for the baby, we can't live off your dads will money for too long, baby." I sighed.

"I know,"

"I can't wait to get started anyway, but I'll miss not being with you for most of the day." He pouted and I giggled again.

"We'll be okay." I laid down on his lap. "I love you."

"I fucking love you more, baby."

"You're going to have to stop that swearing when the baby comes." I stated as I looked up to him. He chuckled down at me.

"I will, but I can whisper it in your ear when the baby isn't looking." He bent down to my ear and I giggled at his breath fanning against my ear and cheek. "I fucking love love love you." He whispered. I giggled but my heart flipped too.

Those were my favourite words.

"Like that." Kyle said as he pecked my lips and moved back. I laughed at him.

"You're going to be a great daddy." I stated. His eyes shone and twinkled. He never looked so happy.

"Do you think?"

"I know so." He smiled my way.

"Well, judge me or not, daddy wants mummy in bed right now." He winked down at me and I laughed.
