Warnings: None really; mild language, stressed reader
A/N: This chapter feels a little choppy to me, but I promise it wasnât as rushed as it seems.
Feedback motivates my writing muse, so an extra thank you to everyone that leaves some. If you'd like to be added to my tag list, just shoot me an ask or DM because Tumblr doesn't always notify me of comments and reblogs.
Misha is single in this series and, as always, no hate or disrespect towards Vicki or their family.
ââââââ
You settled into your new routine easily after a few weeks of living in your new place. Working at the cafĂŠ, spending time with Misha, and even the occasional lunch date with co-workers; it all felt so normal. It was hard to imagine how you managed to stay sane being trapped like a caged bird by Paul for so many years.
âHey babe.â Misha said sleepily, pressing his body against your back and kissing your temple. âWhatcha thinkinâ about?â
You hadnât even realized you were staring blankly out the window. Spinning around, you wrapped your arms around the back of his neck. âYou, me, work; just⌠life.â
Ducking his head down, he pressed his lips to yours; the kiss quickly turning heated. The taste and feel of his tongue rolling against yours still managed to leave you breathless. One of his hands threaded through your hair while the other wrapped firmly around your waist; pulling your pliant body against his.
As much as you wanted to stay in Mishas arms all day, you forced yourself to pull away from him. âMmff⌠I have to get ready for work.â
âI donât want you to.â Misha pouted while playfully trying to keep you from wiggling free. âCall in sick. We can stay home and play doctor.â
You laughed heartily; briefly distracted from attempting to escape. Misha took the opportunity to pull you close again; kissing along your jaw and neck. Before he was able to make your knees go completely weak, you managed to remember that you didnât want to be late for work; again.
âI have to get ready.â He let you pull away this time as you patted his cheek. âWe will continue this tonight.â
ââââââ
âMish?!â You yelled as you entered you apartment only a couple hours after leaving for work. âAre you still here?â
He scooted around the corner to ask what you were doing home so early, but understood immediately upon seeing your pale, clammy skin and the âI hate everythingâ expression on your face. âHey, come here and sit down.â
You dragged your feet to the couch and plopped down with a groan. âYou should probably go. I donât want to give you whatever I have.â
âHave you eaten?â He asked, ignoring your suggestion. âI have my cure-all soup at home in the freezer.â
âEw, no.â You were starving, but the idea of food made you want to wretch. âI donât know if I could even keep it down.â
Pulling your shoes off and lifting your legs in to the couch, he only smiled softly and kissed your forehead. âYou should try. Iâll be right back.â
Upon returning, he found you sitting in the kitchen munching away on a baguette you had brought home from work. âI think I just needed to eat something.â
âTold you.â He said with a smirk as he opened the ziplock bag and began heating the frozen soup on the stove. âYou should save some of that for your lunch here.â
Standing up, you kissed him on the cheek and smiled brightly. âYouâre too good for me.â
ââââââ
Over the next week, you began noticing an odd pattern. If you went longer than a few hours without eating, youâd become annoyingly nauseous; but as soon as you ate something, youâd feel normal again.
âYour probably knocked up.â Your co-worker Emily said with a laugh.
âThatâs not even funny!â It really wasnât, but you werenât going to get into details with her about it. âPlus, thatâs not even possible; Iâve been on birth control for years. Maybe Iâm just getting old. Iâm not 20 anymore.â
Emily shrugged and changed the subject, but now the seed of doubt has been planted. What if you were pregnant? How would Misha feel about it? You had only officially been together for a short time and he was already in his early forties; surely he didnât want a baby disrupting his life even more than you already had.
You decided to push those worries aside for the moment. You had been on birth control even since Paul insisted several years ago after⌠what happened and there hadnât been even a scare since then.
ââââââ
A few more weeks passed and you let your worries dissipate. Your appetite had increased, but you chalked it up to stress. Every potential symptom had a logical explanation, therefore there was no reason to worry.
Work had been difficult one particular day; short staffed and busy. You still managed to eat lunch, but you had been dreaming of the leftover pizza sitting in your fridge. The walk home was short and you practically drooled the whole way.
Walking inside, you headed straight for the kitchen and froze in your tracks at the sight of Misha shoving the last bite into his mouth. âHey, how was work?â He asked while chewing on the very thing you had desired all day.
âYouâŚâ your voice cracked unexpectedly. Tears were spilling down your face before you even had a chance to finish your statement.
Misha rushed over to you, assuming the worst; that you had seen Paul. âWoah, Y/N, calm down. What happened?â
What happened? He ate your pizza; thatâs what happened. âHow could you?!â You shouted through tears and weakly tried to push him away. âIâd been wanting that all day and you justâŚâ
âIâm sorry.â He still didnât understand what he had done wrong, but clearly you were upset with him. The only thing he could do was wait until you were calm.
After a moment, you finally composed yourself. âMisha, we need to talk.â
His heart pounded in his chest at the seriousness of your tone. Were you not happy? Did you not want to be with him anymore? Did you miss Paul? âOk. Letâs talk.â
âI need to go to the store.â You said abruptly. âI need to know for sure.â At the moment, you werenât concerned about how crazy you looked; you needed your answer before dragging anyone else into your paranoid madness. Â
Misha had so many emotions swirling in him at the moment. He went from being happy you were home from work, to worried about why you were crying, to scared he had fucked up, and now just confused with your behavior. âSweetie, whatâs going on?â
âI donât know.â You said, wiping the tears from your eyes. âBut I have to find out. Just hang tight here and Iâll find out. Iâll be back in a bit, donât go anywhere.â
ââââââ
You paced in the bathroom in the Walgreens just up the street from your apartment. Three minutes is an awfully long time when youâre waiting for life changing news. Your phones alarm beeped; but you were almost too scared to look.
Finally gaining the courage to answer the question that had been plaguing the back of your mind for weeks; you peered down at the little, white, plastic stick.
The tiny digital screen showed one word that changed everything for you. Pregnant.
And odd calm came over you. The question had been answered. You had a new set of things to worry about, but you had an answer. Taking a deep breath, you tried to process what to do next. The obvious first thing that came to mind was to stop taking your clearly non-functional birth control and make a doctors appointment.
Misha. You had to tell Misha. This could be a dealbreaker for him and as much as it scared you to tell him, you couldnât hide this; that simply wouldnât be fair. Â
The walk back to your apartment seemed to take twice as long as it took to get to the store. In the short time, you played every scenario in your mind; ranging from him flat out leaving you to being ecstatic. Hopefully his reaction was the latter.
He was waiting for you outside; worry written all over his face. âPlease tell me whatâs going on.â
You hugged him tightly, praying that tonight didnât end poorly. âLetâs go upstairs.â
ââââââ
âI love you, Misha.â Your hands were clamped tight on his to keep them from shaking. âYouâve done so much for me and I can never thank you enough.â
Misha tried to maintain eye contact with you, but looked down and your hands when nerves took over. âWhy does this sound like the âI love you but Iâm not in love with youâ speech?â
âWhat?â Your eyes were wide with shock for a moment until you smiled reassuringly. âMisha, no. I am in love with you; completely. Iâm sorry I made you worry, but thatâs not whatâs going on here.â Your smile faded as your own insecurities took hold. âNot unless you decide to walk away tonight. I wonât blameâŚâ
It was Mishas turn to reassure you. âIâm not ever walking away from you. What could be so bad that youâd think that?â
Itâs now or never. âI donât know a better way to tell you this without being blunt. Misha, Iâm pregnant. So if you donât want to deal with that, I get it. Itâs ok.â
âPregnant.â Misha said calmly, trying to process the information.
You couldnât bring yourself to look him in the eyes in case they were filled with disgust like you were bracing yourself for. The shuffling sound of him standing up from his chair pulled your attention away from your hands.
âIâm sorry.â You said, barely above a whisper. âThis just complicates things more.â
He tried to respond, but couldnât seem to find his voice through the emotion welling inside of him. Instead, he positioned himself on his knees, between your legs, and gently laid his head against your belly. His arms wrapped around your waist as he held you tightly; waiting until he could speak again.
After a moment, he was able to compose himself enough to look up at you again. The tears had caused his eyes to redden and get puffy, which only made his brilliant blue irises shine brighter. âY/N, I love you and I hope you know thereâs absolutely no fucking way youâre ever getting rid of me now.â
Relief washed over you at his overwhelmingly happy reaction. Internally chiding yourself, you remembered that he wasnât Paul. He was the complete opposite and he loved you. Cupping his face in your hands, you encouraged him to sit up and kiss you.
Hidden inside your mind, behind the elation of starting a family with Misha, was one nagging question. What if the baby was Paulâs?â
