Plot : MC has the important discussion with Phil.

This morning promises to be pretty interesting and nerve-wracking... But I have to do it. I have to face him. I have to face the situation...

~ An hour later ~

- Hey! I greet Phil with the best smile I can pull up despite the tiredness and the fear I've been feeling. I didn't sleep much last night as I kept rummaging. No matter how hard I tried to get an idea of how this meeting will go and what I'll say to him, more always came to my mind, adding thoughts over thoughts. I'm so nervous about today's conversation with Mr. Aurora aka Phil. Usually, when we're together in a place with the other, we don't talk much. Our eyes talked more than words. Mine at least... I just keep wondering what he thinks about this... What is he going to tell me? Will he be open to the conversation? Or is he making me come to his bar to tell me he doesn't want it? Are we going to find a solution together? Will I have to do everything by myself? I don't know... All I know is that now I am outside the Aurora, standing before Phil, feeling more than nervous.

- Hey, please, he says as he steps to the side to let me come in. I smile and walk inside the Aurora. Phil closes and locks the door behind me before stepping back towards the bar. I've never been in here while nobody was in. Usually it's crowded of people so I don't pay much attention to the decoration. It's really pretty! Thank you for coming, Gorgeous. Do you want a glass of water or a juice? Coffee maybe? He thanks before offering me something to drink without alcohol. At least, he tries... It's a good sign, right?

- Coffee isn't good for pregnant women but thanks for asking. If you have a juice, I'll take that, I gently answer to the man. I can't stare into his eyes. I don't avoid them but whenever he looks at me, it just makes me feel this crazy sparks... His eyes are so mysterious and so intimidating.

- Of course. Here, he says as he gives me an apricot juice. My favorite! How does he know? I smile and thank him. So... Are you okay? He questions, sounding unsure of what he should be asking me first. Or maybe he just doesn't know how to start a conversation? I know I don't...

- So far, just fear and confusion, I reply sincerely as I grab the glass full of juice. Ugh, what that's smell? Phil nods as I see him playing nervously with the ring around his finger. He isn't smoking... I'm surprised!

- MC, I would like to know what decision you took about the baby. I'll respect whatever decision you took but I would like to talk about it with you first. I thought about it all night, thinking about all of the possibilities... But I want to know what you think first, he tells me seriously, yet, seeming not confident in himself. I've never seen this side of Phil before... He's usually so confident in himself. As I listen to his talk, I lift the glass up to my lips. Ugh! The smell... I don't feel so good... I was about to drink the juice but I rapidly put it down before covering my nose and my mouth. I can feel my heart beating so fast down my chest as my hands starts to shake. Not now... You're okay? He asks me with a confused and concerned tone.

- Yeah, I'm... I started to say when I feel my mouth getting watery. Ugh no... I get up rapidly, making the chair fall down as I rush to the bathroom. Thank God I know this place by heart. I just had time to open the toilet before emptying my stomach. Great... Just the right time... Suddenly, soft hands pull my hair back. Then, as my hair are being held back, I feel Phil rubbing my back softly, giving me comfort. So embarrassing... Imagine throwing up in front of your crush... I flush the toilet but keep my head above it. I'm sorry, I apologize to the man as I take deep breathe in and out.

- Hey, I'm pretty sure I'm the cause of this sickness, so don't worry, Gorgeous, He tells me with a comforting tone as his hand on my back never stops rubbing it. Ugh... No! I throw up one more time, letting my body rejecting all fluids, before flushing the toilet a second time. I hate this so much! Avoiding Phil's sight, I get up not too quickly and go to the sink to wash my mouth. Disgusting! I pass some water over my face when I notice my hands shaking. I said it, I hate it. Hey... Tells, Phil, as he sees how shaky my hands are.

- I hate throwing up that's... Why. It's kind of a phobia, I confess to Phil, avoiding his eyes. The man nods understandingly before he turns around and leaves the restroom. Oh... I sigh and look down before going back to the toilet. I think I should stay close to it... That's be wiser... I sit on the floor, next to the toilet, and close my eyes. I feel disgusting and ashamed... The one person I didn't want to see me throwing up, did... I hide my face in my hands, trying to forget this nauseous feeling. That's what morning sickness is...

- Here, I suddenly hear Phil's voice. What...? I didn't even hear him coming back in... I look up and see Phil holding a glass of water for me. Oh...

- Thanks, I thank him with a shy smile. Phil nods and sits down across from me, joining my sides. I take a sip of the water before closing my eyes for a few seconds.

- So... Have you decided? He asks me, sounding unsure whether he should ask his question now or not. I don't look at him and I don't reply immediately. What should I say? I don't even know myself if I have decided or not... I stay quiet for a moment, giving him my answer that way. Phil stays silent as well as I see him weakly nodding his head up and down.

- I was so scared and nervous... When I took the pregnancy test and saw it was positive, I didn't know what to think or do... I just... Sank on the floor and cried out of fear, I admit to my best friend's brother, half whispering, half speaking up. Daring to look up, my eyes meet Phil's as he was staring at me. Despite the way he makes me feel, there's something in him that makes me feel comfortable talking to him about myself. I... I'm... Scared. I'm scared to make a decision... Because I don't want you to make me the promise to make me keep this baby when, in the end, you'll just walk away. I don't know if I'm ready for this. I don't know if I'll be a good mother... I continue to confess my feelings about this situation as I placed my hand over my stomach. While speaking I could feel my vision beginning to get slightly blurry. I just... I'm tired of feeling so lost and unsure about everything. Ugh, again... I quickly get back on my knees and hold my head above the toilet, feeling like I'm about to throw up again. Phil gets up without wasting time and comes holding my hair again. He hand rests on my back.

- MC, I'm not going anywhere, he tells me softy with his deep voice as I feel him rubbing gently my back. Really? Is he being sincere or are they just words he knows I want to hear so bad? I take a few deep breathes before sitting back down on the floor. I didn't get sick again at least... For now...

- Yeah, I'll need proofs. Because this baby will need a good mother and a father to be there for him... Or her. I can and I will try to be the best mother I can be if I keep it, but I can't give him his father if he doesn't want to be part of our life, I respond seriously to Phil as our eyes never disconnect from one another. Staring at him this way, I still wonder how everything happened for us to be in this situation. I mean... No. I know how it happened but... I was just a girl he never noticed, he was the popular barman and the womanizer of Duskwood, and here we are now.

- I'll give you some proofs, MC. I promise you, he replies sincerely and immediately after I finished talking. He didn't hesitate one second... I stare into his beautiful eyes, seeing the seriousness and sincerity in them. He wants it... He wants me to keep the baby... I can tell just by the sight of his eyes. I didn't think he would want it to be honest... I don't know what it is to be a father since mine was an ass and never here. But I do know I'll never be like him. I'll never abandon you or our child. And I'm not and I won't run away, Gorgeous, he says with the same tone as before, sounding as if he is trying to convince me. I sigh quietly as I let my head rest on the wall behind me.

- I thought about keeping the baby, you know? I tell him as I look down at my belly. I would love to be a mother, even though I don't know how to be one, I look back up at Phil. The man moves from his spot and sits closer to be next to me, barely letting space between us. His scent instantly consumes me. And there's going to be so many changes and it's a huge responsibility. I need to find a second job... I say, already feeling the tiredness coming from this potential second job I'm seeking for. It's already hard without a baby. What will it be with one? And while carrying one?

- Why? He questions gently to me, interrupting me.

- I don't have enough money. My apartment is way too small so I would need to find a new home. I'll also need to pay the bills and the groceries, the supplies for the baby, the gas for my car,... I take a deep breath in as I abruptly interrupt myself into the list of everything I need to pay. And yet, there isn't everything yet... It's going to be a lot of money and I clearly don't have it at the moment. Without counting all of the hospital taxes after giving birth. And the potential of unexpected accidents that could come on the way, I finish to summarize, showing him that I have thought about absolutely everything. This is giving me a lot of stress to be honest.

- I can help you, MC, he says with his deep voice as I feel something warm covering my hand. I look down at it to see his hand holding mine firmly. His touch is so comforting. This baby is also my responsibility. I want to be part of both of your life if you want to keep it. I want to be there for you when the moment comes and after it, he admits with seriousness. I look up at him, noticing how close our faces are. He looks so fine. And I'll prove you that, he whispers with such sincerity in his voice. I weakly nod. I'd like to come when you'll go have your first ultrasound, he tells me, sounding more like he is asking my permission for him to come. He does...? I'm a bit surprised. I know he said he wanted it but I didn't think he would want to bother himself with medical appointments.

- it's in a month, I tell him.

- I'll be there, then, he answers with a smile. A beautiful smile I have to say... I can't help but to gaze at his face. I've never been this close to him except when that night happened between us. He is just so... His eyes, his lips... That damn jawline... Everything is beautiful about this man. As the two of us stay quiet, Phil brings his hand towards my hair and push a lock behind my ear. His touch... Even a simple touch is so comforting. Oh...! Time's running.

- I have to go. I need to go get some food for my lunch and then I have to go to work, I tell Phil as I see him nodding quietly back to me. I start to get up but instantly groan. I felt better with my butt on the floor...

- Are you sure you want to go now? He asks me with a light chuckle. That sound... Even in a state like this one, he manages to make me crack a smile.

- Huh... Is it okay if I stay five more minutes? I question him as I sit back on the floor, next to the toilet.

- Of course, Gorgeous. Stay as long as you need, he kindly tells me. I give him a smile, appreciating his words. The man turns around to leave the restroom, but I stop him before he could go somewhere else.

- Phil, can I come see you through the week? Or call you? I demand him, half using a pleading tone. The man faces me with a smile.

- You come here whenever you want, MC. My door is always open for you. And you call me whenever you want. You have my number. I'll be here, he responds sincerely and with seriousness as he gives me one of his famous smirk. I smile once more at him before letting him go do his job. He's supposed to open soon. And I have to go do mine... Ugh, I don't feel well...

~ Four days later ~

I enter my home and lock the door behind me after what felt like the longest day ever. I don't particularly enjoy working there, but today was above every other days. Honestly, it shouldn't be allowed to work with people this cruel... Besides making me feel useless, like the dumbest person in the world, and talking crap in my back... And not so discretely may I add... My day was fine otherwise. Well, with the exception of the morning sickness, but it's just a detail...

It's been four days since I have talked with Phil. I had him twice on the phone, but nothing more. I didn't go back to the Aurora and I didn't see him either. I think we don't really know what to say to each other and we still aren't sure about what is going on in our lives lately. The fear must be an obstacle as well. We're still young after all...

I take off my shoes and go immediately take my shower. I need to relax after this day... Physically and emotionally. Or maybe I should eat something first? Fries... Fries and Chantilly!! Oh...! I didn't have time to go to my kitchen that I hear someone knocking on my door. At this time...? Who could it be? I wasn't waiting for someone. I approach the front door and look through the bull's eyes. A familiar figure is standing outside. Okay, after a crappy day, why not adding some nervousness? I take a deep breath before opening the door.

- Phil? I call him with surprise and confusion. The man is leaning against my door frame, arms crossed over his chest. Some hair are loosely falling in front of his perfect face as the rest of it is attached in a messy bun.

- Hey, I closed the Aurora for tonight and I wanted to know if you'd like to go eat something, he gently tells me, giving me a soft smile as he pulls himself up from the door frame. He tries to hide it, but he obviously looks tired... He must have had a tough day too...

- I'm already pregnant, Phil. There won't be any sexual activity between us, I reply with a playful tone while giggling. I cross my arms over my chest, feeling the fresh air from the hall coming inside my apartment. Phil softly laughs at my comment.

- Damn! He exclaims with an exaggerated and a fake disappointed tone. The two of us laugh together, staring shyly into each other's eyes. I know you finished early today so I thought we could eat together somewhere or... Anywhere you'd like, Gorgeous, he proposes kindly with a more serious tone. He knows my schedule? I'm surprised...! I know Phil is a gentleman with women, but I didn't think he was this kind of gentleman. I thought it was an image he wanted to give himself to make girls melt for him... I misjudged this side of him.

- Sure, I'd love to. But can we get something and eat it here, at my place? I'm tired of my day. And so do you, apparently, I demand him with a point of shyness before stating my words. Phil smiles once more as he quickly looks down. He wanted to go somewhere?

- Anything you want, Gorgeous, he replies with his smirk. The boy definitely knows what he's doing... I smile and look away as I felt my cheeks starting to hit up. What would you to eat? He asks me.

- Okay, huh... It's not very gastronomical but I'm actually craving for fries and nuggets right now. Lots of them. Oh!! And I'd like chocolate too, please, I tell him my "order" as I just already imagine all of this food in front not of me. So good! Phil chuckles and nods while stretching himself.

- Give me 20-30minutes and I'll be back with all of this, he tells me with an amused tone. I nod understandingly before watching Phil step out from the building to go get our food. Okay... I guess I can go take my shower in the mean time!

Almost half an hour passes when Phil comes back with our food. The smell is just incredible! My mouth gets watery just by this scent. We set everything on the living room table and take place on the sofa. I have a small apartment so I don't really have much space. At least, not enough to get a proper dining table with chairs... Wearing a short, I cover my legs with a warm and comfy blanket and let him distribute the food. Fries! Nuggets! It's heaven!! I smile and thank him for the food before we start eating.

- Oh, I love you so much, I say before eating one of the fries. I've waited this for so long!

- You're talking to the fries? Asks me, Phil, smiling amused.

- Yeah, I reply before chuckling. Phil smiles and takes a bite from him hamburger. Weirdly, I don't feel as nervous as before. I'm not used to be around him alone, but I'm not all crazy nervous either. I mean there's still this little point of nervousness, but it's not as intense as before. So, how was work? I question the man, trying to make some conversation. It's not what I'm good at, but I'd rather try. Phil finishes his mouth before giving me an answer.

- Okay, I guess. Regulars were here as always and some clients also came. I broke two glasses and ran out of ice towards the end. And Jessy stopped by a few minutes before I closed, he responds softly with his deep voice, telling me his day. He sounds so calm. It's very relaxing to talk with him actually. How can he always be so calm? Well, this isn't as bad as having the talk we had at his bar days ago...

- How's she doing? I ask him, grabbing a nugget from the box.

- Good. She was annoyed though because Richy lost the last pen they had. She had to go get new ones at the store, he tells me, not looking surprised of the boy. Though, he seems amused. And I have to say, I'm not surprised either by Richy. Nothing surprises us from him anymore...

- Not surprised, I reply as I smile amused.

- How was your day? He then asks me before proceeding eating. I look up at him, our eyes meeting. Mmh...

- Long, I reply while letting a long sigh out. I had one of those girls who not so kindly pointed out that I am not worth much compared to her and that I should work twice harder if I want to have a pay, I tell him, recounting briefly my day in a few words. It's not that I don't want to relive it but... I don't. Phil looks down for a second, looking slightly upset. Or... Maybe he tries to hide that he is upset? Still, I can see it bothers him.

- You're already working twice harder. And you're worth more than any of those girls, Gorgeous, he answers with a sincere and serious tone. I stare at him for a second, appreciating the kind words. It changes from what I heard all day long... Kind, gentle, gentleman, deep voice, good looking, and knows what to say to cheer up people... Perfect guy. Hearing him saying those words makes my heart beating slightly faster.

- You should tell them that, I reply playfully with a faint smile.

- Sure, I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning and I'll go pay a visit to your boss and those girls, he says with a dead serious tone. Yet, I can tell he was joking just by the smile he cracked while looking at me. The two of us laugh together and enjoy the rest of the night. I haven't had a good and relaxing evening like this one for a long time...

~ A month later ~

At the hospital, I am sitting in the waiting room, waiting for a doctor to come get me. I have my first ultrasound today. I'm so nervous. Even having the talk with Phil didn't make me this nervous... Speaking of, I know Phil and I talked about keeping the baby or not. And I know it might be too late to change my mind if I don't want it. But, even today, I have to admit that I'm still unsure of what I'm doing. But I hope it will change today... I don't know how or if it is possible to make my mind with an ultrasound, but I'll see... I've never done this before so it does sound a bit crazy that it'll help me decide.

- Sorry, there was a lot of people on the road, I hear a sudden and familiar voice that gets me out of my thoughts. I look up and see Phil quickly entering the waiting room, doing a messy bun at the same time. Phil was supposed to meet with me 10minutes ago.

- Don't worry. I'm glad you're here, I tell him sincerely as he takes the seat next to me. He nods and smiles at me which makes me smile back. He and I talked a bit this morning. I guess we're both nervous about today.

- Nervous? He asks me as he is catching his breath. He really rushed in here...

- A bit scared to be honest. And you? I admit before asking him how he feels.

- Huh, nervous, he responds, admitting his feelings as well as a small pause. Phil let's a small laugh out before a phone starts ringing. It can only be one of us since we're alone in the waiting room. I'm surprised by that actually. I thought there would have been other pregnant women with their man accompanying them... The phone can't be mine since I muted the sound when I arrived. Phil pulls his phone out and hangs up instantly when he sees the number. There was no I.D. caller...

- You can answer if you have to, I tell him seriously as I look straight in front of me, as if I didn't glance at who was calling him.

- No, I... I don't want to talk to the person, he answers seriously as he puts his phone back in his pocket. He really doesn't seem to want to talk to him...

- Oh you know him, I say with a surprised tone. But I didn't see the I.D. caller...

- Her, he corrects me.

- Oh... I simply say, sounding more disappointed than I thought I would have. Why though? I don't have anything to say... I'm not his girlfriend after all, I'm just the girl who carries his child... He can make his life if he wants. He actually can leave me and the baby whenever he wants... But I have to admit that it makes me worked up when a girl calls him. Especially when knowing the kind of girls he used to get home with...

- I deleted the few numbers I had of girls I slept with, he confesses to me which makes me arc my eyebrows in surprise. He did? Why? When?

- A few? I question, raising one eyebrow.

- All of them, actually, he tells me, correcting himself. I nod my head up and down. I dare to look up at the man and see him staring at me with a smile. Oh... Was I obvious? Don't worry, Gorgeous, you're the only girl in my life for now, he says with a smirk, letting a quiet chuckle out. So beautiful... Yet, I don't know if I should feel upset or not by his words.

- For now... I repeat his own words, looking down.

- Well, if this baby is a girl you won't be the only one anymore, he says. Oh... I didn't see it this way. I smile and bite my lower lip before looking back up at him. He makes me feel crazy... Phil stares at me with a smile which makes me melt even more for him. Maybe I shouldn't feel this way for him... Yes, we're having a baby, but like I said, we're not together. Once the baby will be born, he and I might take part ways... None of us know what will happen.

- Ms. MC L/N? I suddenly hear someone calling my name. Oh! I look at the entrance of the waiting room, finding a woman wearing a white blouse. She's holding some papers.

- Yes, I reply with a polite smile as I stand up from the chair. I walk up to the doctor and shake hands with her. She smiles as me before looking up behind me. Oh! This is... My boyfriend, I tell to the woman as I introduce Phil to the doctor. Though, I took a split second to think of what I could qualify Phil.

- It's nice to meet you, sir, she says with a smile and shakes hands with him. Why does this even makes me upset? Is it because of the look she's giving him? Maybe... But isn't it the look almost all women give him?

- Pleasures all mine, he responds, smiling back at her. Mmh...

- This way, please, she tells us, showing us the way. I step up, following the doctor behind.

- Boyfriend, huh? Whispers quietly, Phil, in my ear. I shush him quietly, giggling at the same time. The man quietly chuckles as we approach a room. The doctor opens the door for us and we enter a small room. This is so nerve-wracking...

- Lay down here, miss. Make yourself comfortable and lift your shirt up a little bit, please. Little warning, it'll be a little bit cold, she says as she shows me a bed for me to lay on and the gel she'll put on my belly. A machine is next to it with some supplies that the doctor needs to make the ultrasound. Wow, okay... This is serious. This is a first. This is so nerve-wracking!! You may take this chair if you'd like, sir, tells, the doctor to Phil as she points at the chair against the wall.

- Thank you, he thanks her politely. Though, he doesn't sit on it. He just stands next to it, as if he doesn't know what to do. Which is probably the case...

I lay down on the bed and, with shaky hands, I lift my shirt up only to reveal my stomach. It's slightly rounded but not enough to guess I'm pregnant yet. A part of me wants to run away because of the stress and another part of me wants to see what it is. I didn't think I would be living this situation so soon... Yet, with Phil's baby.

I get ready as I watch the doctor getting everything ready. Even though it's only a gel and some paper, the machine next to me is pretty impressive. I take a deep breathe in before looking at where Phil is. He has his arms crossed over his chest, still standing next to the chair, a bit lost and clearly nervous as well. That's probably the reason why he doesn't sit. He can't stay still because of the nervousness. Out from a courage I didn't think I had, I hold my hand up towards him. He looks at me and quickly understands what I need. He walks up to me, standing where he won't be bothering the doctor, and takes my hand in his. His hands are so soft and warm. And the squeeze he is giving it... It's so reassuring. I look up at him with nervous and scared eyes and see him nodding at me, as if he is saying "everything will go alright". He's nervous, but confident... I wish I was this confident...

The doctor puts the gel on my stomach, letting me feel the cold liquid. I let a quiet gasp out due to the cold sensation which quickly warms up with the heat of my body. The woman takes the material from the machine and places it on the gel to look for the baby. The sensation of that thing rolling on my belly is strange... Can we even see it now? Isn't it too early? Oh... That sound... Heartbeats. I stare at the screen as I see the little baby I'm carrying. Well, it doesn't look like a baby yet, but it's still mine. It's my baby...

I stare at the screen with amazed eyes, unable to blink. I'm scared this moment will end too quickly if I blink. It's just so... Magical. I am creating life... A little human. The sound of its heart beating is so melodic. I am carrying a baby!

- This is it. It's your baby, I hear the doctor saying with a happy voice. I nod and smile when I feel something warm rolling down my face. I want it... I want this baby. For the first time, I turn my head and look up at Phil. The man is staring at the screen with love in his eyes. They are sparkling with joy. The two loves of my life are with me at the moment... I slightly move my hand from his hold, only to intertwine my fingers with his. Phil instantly holds firmly my hand as I feel his thumb running on the back of my hand.

- We won't be able to know what it is until when? He asks to the doctor, getting curious.

- I'd say not before at least 2 months, she answers as she gets some tissues.

- Can we have a photo of the baby? I ask her, wanting a memory from this perfect moment. And I know a girl who will want to see the first glimpse of her niece or nephew...

- Of course. I let you clean yourself up and I get the picture ready, she tells us with a smile before handing me the tissues. I thank her along with Phil before she leaves the room, letting us two together. Us three, should I say... I clean my stomach and sits up on the bed. The screen is still showing the picture of our baby. I can't hear the sound of its heart anymore though...

- You're okay? Asks me, Phil, as he comes standing in front of me.

- Yes, I whisper before smiling. I want it, I suddenly tell him, feeling overjoyed. Phil stays silent before me. I want this baby. Hearing its little heart beating. Seeing it on the screen, I say as I feel more tears rolling down my face. Phil wipes them away with his thumb, soothing me with his touch. I want it... With you. If that's what you want of course, I admit and tell him seriously as my eyes meet his. Phil stares at me, a smile spread over his face. He seems so happy.

- I want it too, he whispers while nodding his head positively. He does...! He does! I smile wildly and chuckle at the same time, expressing my happiness. Everything feels so right. For once, this feeling of confusion or being lost is gone. For once, I know what I want... What we want. The weight I was carrying on my shoulders is now gone.

The two of us stare at each other for a moment, not wanting to break his moment. Surprisingly, it doesn't feel awkward. His hands are gently holding my face as his thumbs are wiping my last tears away. He's so delicate. Those eyes... The emotions in those eyes... They're so gorgeous and strong. They're showing so much love, so much will, so much hope. It's not something I am used to see in Phil's eyes. Usually, he gives his best womanizer's stare. The one every girl falls for... But not right now. I get to see this look that no one had certainly the chance to see.

Suddenly, the boy comes even closer to me. He slowly starts to lean in, taking a few seconds to see if that's what I want. And I do... Just remembering his lips on mine makes my heart beating three times stronger. I let him approach his face more and more before feeling warmth over my lips. He delicately kisses them as I close my eyes to enjoy it even more. I answer to the soft kiss as one of my hands comes holding his wrists and the other one holds his waist. Phil puts more pressure into the kiss, only to show me how much he loves and enjoy the moment. I love him... I love him so much. Just like this baby...

Phil pulls away after a moment, but doesn't step back before pecking my lips twice and then my forehead.

- We have to show the picture to Jessy, I tell him with a smile as he helps me getting down from the bed.

- I let you do that. I have to go back to the bar. Is that okay? He tells me gently, making sure I am alright with him leaving me to do his work.

- Of course. Though, do you think you can drop me off at Richy's Garage first? I answer and ask him as I tuck my shirt back in my trousers like it was before.

- Of course, Gorgeous, he says with a smile as he opens the door for me. I thank him and the two of us walk back to the waiting room. In the hall, walking back to the waiting room, Phil grabbed my pinky finger with his. He really surprises me showing so much delicate attention. It might just be small gesture, but it's sometimes enough to make someone's heart flutter.

The waiting room is a little more filled than earlier, but it's not that bad. I quietly greet the two couples in it and sit on a chair, Phil next to me. I'm slowly starting to realize that I might feel nervous about this whole thing for nothing. Phil really seems to dedicate his whole self into this since he learned about the news and since we had a talk. I'm staying on my guards, but I think I worry for nothing...

- Huh... Can you... Would you mind sleeping at home tonight? I shyly demand him in a whisper, actually surprising myself for asked ng this question.

- I'll be there, he whispers back as he takes full hold of my hand with his. That man...

The doctor comes back to us and gives us the picture of the ultrasound. The two of us thank her before we leaved the hospital.

A few minutes later, Phil dropped me off at Richy's garage like I asked him before he went to his bar to work. Jessy and Richy were quite confused to see me getting out from Phil's car. I didn't have time to sit in their office or to even say "Hi" that I was asked thousands of questions about Phil, and why I was with him. I showed them the picture of the ultrasound which shut them up for a moment. They stared in awe in front of the picture before Jessy took it to have a better sight of it. We don't see much, but I guess it's enough for her. I giggle to the sight of their faces and let them digest the news. Especially, Richy... Jessy didn't say anything about me being pregnant, less that I had a hot night with Phil... Jessy hands me back the picture with tears of joy in her eyes. She jumps on Richy, repeating over and over that she's going to be an aunt. The poor guy covers his ears as she was screaming, and I just laugh out loud, enjoying this sight.

A few hours later, after talking a lot with them both, it was time to close Richey's business for the day and to go here me. Jessy dropped me at my apartment as she wanted to talk a bit more about the baby and the situation. I guess she's really curious. She pulls her car in front of a building and I thank her from bringing me home and for the talk and support she's giving us.

Entering my apartment, I immediately go get a shower to relax a bit and recall about today's moments. It was a good day. A really good day. And it will end well too. Phil should be here in two hours...

The night has fallen now. It's pitch dark outside. I am watching TV with sleepy eyes, fighting against the tiredness to wait for Phil to arrive. Oh... Speaking of the Devil. I hear someone knocking on the front door. Finally! I get up and go open the door to discover the familiar face of Phil Hawkins. He looks tired, but happy.

- Hello, stranger, he says with a smile.

- Hi! I greet him as he steps in. He snakes his arms around my waist and I envelop him with my arms around the back of his neck. Phil closes the door behind him all while kissing me at the same time. I answer to his kiss, my lips melting against his. I smile through the kiss as I just feel so, so happy.

After Phil had something to eat, and after the two of us got ready for bed, we went to my bedroom. It's a bit weird because last time the two of us were in the same bed, we were drunk and the moment was definitely hotter. It's different today.

We lay on my bed, under the covers, and watch a movie on my computer. Phil is lying behind him, one arm hanging around my waist. His hand is falling over my stomach, letting his fingers softly rubbing where the baby is. I smile and close my eyes as I feel my tiredness winning over me. I feel safe and secured with him. And I feel loved...
