C Unexpected

God he loved it when she straddled him and looked up at him with her big green eyes. Sometimes he forgot about how beautiful she was, especially when she was showing care for him like this. Then he heard the word pregnancy enter his mind. It bounced around his brain like a ping pong ball, rattling off different thoughts and setting off light bulbs. “Oh shit” he thought to himself. The moment she said that word the pieces began to fit. His pecs had been sore as well the past week, but he just thought that was because he was battling the flu. What foods appealed to him seemed to have shifted as well but he thought that was the nausea… was he being completely delusional and in denial? Had he gotten pregnant on New Years? Weirdly the thought almost excited him, like it could be add a new layer to their connection, but at the same time it seemed ridiculous to be excited about that prospect. What about school? What about navigating campus? Any friends he had known that got pregnant had to take the second semester off or take classes remotely, and when he visited them, seeing how huge they were, unable to move easily and rubbing their distended stomachs it almost shocked him. Not to mention he was a male, and they typically carried larger than women.

He quickly pushed the thought out of his mind and laughed slightly looking at Rhona. He placed his hands firmly on her hips and kissed her. Breaking the kiss he said “I am not pregnant Rhona, no man in my family has gotten pregnant, but… I know you, and this will bother you the whole weekend unless I take one. Do you have one here? I actually need to use the restroom since I just drove here so I can take it now so that pretty little face of yours will stop grimacing.” He kissed her again and moved his hands up her back into a nice hug. He was nervous, but he tried his best to hide that from her.
