Amanda's POV

It's been almost two months since Kevin moved out here with us. We had helped them move his stuff in that day. I have never seen Matty more happy than he is now. It has been wonderful living with Eric. Waking up in his arms every morning. We make love every night and whenever we have the urge. He is the sweetest man. If I have a long day, he already has dinner ready for us and will fix a bubble bath if needed. He helps with everything around the house. This morning I am currently sitting on the floor in the bathroom having emptied everything. I have been feeling off for the last week. I guess I have caught a bug. My stomach starts churning again and I immediately fall over the bowl and hurl empty contents. I hear a soft knock at the door and Eric comes in quickly.

"Love, are you okay?"

He says as he pulls my hair back and rubs my back softly. I sit back against the wall with my eyes closed. He gets up and grabs a washcloth and wets it before he comes to sit next to me as he wipes the sweat off my face.

"I'm okay."

"You don't look it. How long have you been in here?"

"I don't know. I haven't been feeling well for a few days. I think I am coming down with something."

"Do you feel okay to go back to bed?"

"I think so."

He helps me to my feet, and to the bed. Pulling back the covers, I climb in and he pulls them back over me. He goes to grab the empty trash can out of the bathroom and sets it next to me on the floor. He kisses my forehead and heads out of the room. After a while he came back with breakfast on a tray. Oatmeal. Fruit, some bacon and orange juice. The smell hits my nose and I immediately grab the can and vomit.

"Are you sure the bacon is okay? It smells awful.

"It's fine. I just got it yesterday."

"Take it away. It's making me nauseous."

"Hold on a minute. I'll be right back."

He heads out of the room and comes back with just the fruit and oatmeal. He sits it down in front of me and crawls into bed next to me.

"Are you sure you are okay? I am worried about you."

"It's just a bug. I will be fine."

"Alright, but if it continues you are going to see the doctor."
"Okay, fine."

I dig in as he watches me eat and I try to eat as much as possible. Eating most of it and finishing off my orange juice, I push it away and he takes it to the kitchen. I lay back down and fall asleep.

Eric's POV

I carry the tray back out to the kitchen and dispose of what is leftover and place the dishes in the dishwasher. I am worried about Amanda. She looked so frail sitting on the bathroom floor. I wish I could take it all away. I have never seen her like this. As I put away the dishes, I pick up my phone and call Matt.

"Hey bud, what's up?"
"Amanda is sick and it worries me a bit."

"She usually doesn't get sick."

"I know. That's why I am worried. She doesn't want to go to the doctor's."

"She's not a big fan."
"I just wanted to let you know and I will call if she won't be in on Monday."

"Thanks man, I might stop by and see how she is doing."

"Cool, see you later then."

I hang up and walk back into the bedroom. I walk over to the bed and sit next to her. Reaching up and moving her hair away from her face and kissing her forehead.

"My love, what is wrong. I feel so helpless."

Pulling the blankets up over her shoulders I quietly walked out of the room not to wake her, closing the door behind me. Going to work at cleaning around the house. After a few hours Amanda walks out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

"How are you feeling?"

"Much better actually, I think the sleep helped."

"I am glad. So how about some lunch. I made some soup. I thought it would be easy on the stomach."

"Thank you baby. I am a little hungry."

We sit down for lunch, I sit and watch her eat every bite. I am glad she is feeling better. I hope that she is on the mend and it is just a stomach bug. I hate to see her sick or in pain. After everything she has been through, she doesn't need another hurdle to get over. I know I shouldn't go down that road, but I have never had any good luck in my life.

"This soup is amazing. Thank you baby for cooking."

We both get up and we bump into each other. I hear her hiss and grab her breast.

"Oww, they are sore. I must be getting ready to start my monthly."

"Sorry love, it was an accident." I lean in and kiss her forehead.

"It's okay. I hate this part."

We spent the rest of the day cuddled together watching movies and napping. Amanda makes us dinner. She seems to be back to normal. I clean up the dishes and head back in with my girl and we finish up the evening with a movie and she is soon fast asleep in my arms.

Amanda's POV

I slowly get out of bed feeling nauseous again. Uggh, I felt so good going to bed last night. I slowly make my way to the bathroom and get started for my day. ONce I am finished and come out to get dressed, Eric wakes up and sits up off the bed.

"Good morning, love. How are you feeling?"

"Better today." I lie, trying not to worry him.

"Are you sure you should go to work?"

"Yes, I am okay. I need to finish the project we are working on. I can't leave Matty to finish it all."

"Okay, but if you feel worse, let me know and I will come pick you up."

"I will"

I finish getting ready and head out to make some coffee. Not feeling very hungry, I grab some coffee and get ready to head out. As I am grabbing my things, Eric walks into the kitchen.

"Did you not eat?"

"Not hungry."

"Love, you need to eat."

"I'll grab something at Matty's if I feel like it."

"Don't make me worry."

"I won't, gotta go."

I tell him as I kiss his cheek and head out the door. I arrive at Matt's and head in. He is eating breakfast with Kyle and the smell of bacon hits my nostrils and I immediately get sick and run to the bathroom vomiting up the coffee I just drank.

"Bunny, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, your bacon is bad."

"It's fine. Neither of us are sick."

"Are you sure it's nothing, A?" I hear Kyle ask over Matt's shoulder.

"I'll be out in a minute."

"Alright, We will see you in the kitchen." I hear them both walk away.

"Do you think she's pregnant?" Kyle whispers to Matt.

"Hmm, could be. I will talk to her later. It's really not like her to get sick." Matt whispers back.

After a few minutes, I stand up and rinse my mouth out and head back to the kitchen. The smell is awful and I just want to go. Matt grabs a coffee to go and kisses Kyle as we head off to the office. We head inside and get started for the day. I have been so busy this morning, I didn't realize that it was already lunchtime. Matt pokes his head into my office.

"Hey bunny, want to come with me for lunch?"

"Sure, I'm starving!" We head off to our favorite diner and order once we are seated.

"So how are you feeling?"

"Really good right now."
"Hmmm, you always seem to be sick in the morning but better by the afternoon. You said earlier that your breasts are tender."

"I'm probably starting soon."

"When was the last time you had your period?"

I sit and think for a moment. That question was weird coming from your guy friend. Then it hits me, it's been a couple months since I had my period and my eyes go wide.

"Oh my gosh, it's been a few months. I never thought about it. What if I am? He will leave me. We never talked about this. How could I be so careless. This is awful."

He reaches across the table and grabs my hand.

"Bunny, calm down, breathe. It will be alright. We don't know for sure yet. Don't put the cart before the horse just yet." I start to cry and Matt comes around the table and hugs me. "We will stop at a drug store and get a test to see."
"Alright, but I am so scared."
"We will cross that bridge when we get there. Let's go finish this."

We finish lunch and stop at the drugstore on the way back and pick up a couple tests. Once we are back we head into my office and lock the door. I grab the tests and go in my private bathroom and pee in a cup, then we dunk several sticks in and wait. I walk out to my desk and sit down with my head in my hands. After five minutes the alarm goes off.

"Can you go look? I'm too scared."

"Alright bunny, I'll go."

He heads into the bathroom and soon comes back laying the sticks in front of me. I look up at him and he has a huge smile across his face and the tears begin to flow. He quickly wraps me in his arms.

"Bunny, it's going to be okay. He will be happy."

"I am happy, but terrified all at once. What should I do?"

"Well, for one you tell him tonight and then go from there."

"What if he doesn't want the baby?"

"Then we cross that bridge when we get there, but I think he will be happy."
"I hope you are right. It would kill me if I lost him."

"You won't."
We finish the day before I realize it and I grab my things and the test. Matt and I head out and I drop him off at his apartment and head home. I head back home and am lost in my head. I walk inside and place my things on the table grabbing the tests and sit on the couch, wondering what he will say. I am so scared that he will be upset and will not want anything to do with the baby. I rub my belly and talk to it.

"No matter what happens, little one I will be here for you, even if daddy says no."

"Soon I hear the door open and Eric walks in. He walks into the living room with me and quickly sits down next to me. I look up to him and he sees my red puffy eyes.

"Love, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

I grab his hand and place the tests in his hand. He looks from me to his hand and stares for a long time before he looks back at me with tears in his eyes.

"Really?"
