[Andre] Hope you're ready...

[Addison Michelle Villanueva]

Addison smiled at the woman sitting next to her in the waiting room. All the women here looked so calm and relaxed. Her on the other hand, she was shaking and sweating. Addison cleared her throat quietly as she shifted in her seat and crossed her legs. The quiet waiting room had the sounds of nothing but the clock ticking, fingers tapping on a keyboard and the occasional cough or sigh. Addison felt like she was going to go crazy sitting in here. Luckily the door opened and she was the next one called, “Addison?” She smiled, got up and made her way over to the nurse. “How are you today?” the nurse asked as they made their way over to the scale. “Not too bad.” she said as she took her shoes off and stepped up in the scale. She had gained some weight which was the weird part. Nothing in her diet had changed, if anything, she was eating less and working out more, when she had the time. In reality, her days were too busy to eat, she missed meals most days. ”Okay, you can step down now.” Addison picked her shoes up and slipped her feet back in and followed the nurse into the exam room. “If you would, get up on the table have a seat.” Addison crossed her ankles and let them sway gently as the nurse got her clipboard ready. “I’m just going to take your temperature and blood pressure.”

“Okay everything looks good. If you could change into this, the doctor will be in shortly.” Addison pulled off her shoes and placed them gently on the chair next to the exam table. Stepping out of her shorts, she placed them on top of her shoes and quickly pulled her shirt off, putting it with the other items of clothing. She quickly had the gown on and was back up on the table when there was a knock on the door. ”Come in.” she peeped. “Good afternoon Addison, how are you today?” All Addison could do was smile, the doctor had to know exactly how she was feeling. She went through things like this everyday all day. “I have a feeling I know, but I need to ask you anyway. What brings you in today?” Addison swallowed and looked over to her, “I think I’m pregnant.” “When was your last period?” “Um, about two and a half months ago.. I think.” The doctor came over and put her hands on Addison’s stomach, “Have your breasts been tender?” “Yes, very. I never really noticed because I’ve been so busy with everything.” The doctor placed a sheet over Addison’s legs and then brought the ultrasound machine over next to the table. “I need you to lay back, keep the sheet over your lower half and let me see your stomach.” Addison did what she was told and held the gown up off of her stomach. “Just a heads up, this is going to be cold.” “Oh, very cold.” Addison said with a small laugh and the doctor laughed along. “We’re not going to see much, but we will be able to see if you’ve got something cooking in there. Just keep your eyes on the screen.” Addison’s eyes were locked on the screen, she wanted, no needed to see something, anything. After a few moments the doctor stopped, “Oh, you see that?” she pointed to a little blip on the screen. “A baby..?” Addison asked slowly. “It is. Are congratulations in order..?” Addison was quiet for a while and then the tears started rolling down slowly. “I hope these are tears of happiness.” the doctor said as she rubbed Addison’s arm gently and helped her sit back up. “They’re mixed. I’m happy and shocked and scared…and I just…” “It’s okay. Everyone feels like this. The happiness will take over.” The picture printed out and the doctor handed it to Addison, “Here you are. You are about nine weeks pregnant. I’ll need you to stop by the desk on your way out and make another appointment with me in about a month and a half to two months from now. Okay?” “Yes…” Addison couldn’t take her eyes off of the picture in her hand, she didn’t even realize the doctor had left.

The entire ride home, Addison’s mind was racing. How was she going to tell Andre? How would he react? Would he leave her? No, don’t go there Addie. That was her biggest fear. Andre was the best thing that has ever happened to her and losing him would kill her, especially now at this time. As she pulled into her parking spot, she cried a bit more. After composing herself, Addison made her way up to their apartment. She opened the door and called out, “Babe?” she was so hoping he wouldn’t be home. It gave her more time to think how she was going to tell him. There was no answer and she quickly closed the door behind her and relocked it. Now she had to think. Was she going to come right out? Or build up to it? Addison made her way into the kitchen. She placed her purse on the counter, the picture still inside. She opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water when she heard keys in the door. Andre was home. Addison closed the fridge and just rested her forehead against it. She closed her eyes as she heard him make his way through the house into the kitchen, this was it.

[Andre Dylan West]

With Andre and Addison living together, Andre thought about making some changes in his life for good. It's been little more than a year since they started dating, every second that he spends with her are the best of his life. Andre falls for her every time he sees her even in those ups and downs and those small bumps that comes in their way. He does his best to keep her happy and safe especially since she is just getting started with her career. He promised himself to be there for her every step of the day whether she's in the same city or whole different country, he wants to make her his girl, his woman and his life partner. It was still somewhat early in their relationship to get down on one knee and ask her to his partner. There is always something stopping him to go to a store and actually buy a nice ring for his lady. Every time he walks in to some nice jewelry place and likes a ring he backs down and starts to wonder if she's ready to be his partner.


Andre had few things to run before getting home to his amazing girl and spend time with her. He doesn't know how he got lucky but he did. Having Addison as his girlfriend was the best thing. While he ran his errands, he stopped at his friend's house to hang out before actually heading home. It was nice outside, warm with blue skies and some clouds here and there but it was one gorgeous day. He wanted to spend the rest of the day at a park strolling with his girl or going to some nice place to enjoy the weather. There were lots of things to do in the city but nothing like taking a walk on a beach at sunset with the person you love the most. Things were finally looking good for him, with college, his job and his girlfriend. What else can he ask for? Andre pulled up next to Addison's car, got out of the car with a smile on his lips, walked to their apartment and that smile didn't leave the lips till he opened the door and walked into Addison with her head against the fridge. Andre dropped his keys on the coffee table and rushed to be at her side.


"Sweetheart, what's wrong? Don't tell me nothing because it's clearly something." Andre took Addison in his arms and held her tight. He didn't know what happened to her since he didn't really talked to her whole day. Andre kissed her crown then her forehead and looked into her eyes then held her close to him. "I promise I'll talk to you even if I'm busy. I'm so sorry babe for going hours without talking to you."
