(alright just ignored the last two post)
Briar sat on her couch you haven't spoke to Caleb in a few weeks of course she started getting morning sickness so she bought a pregnancy test and took it and of course she was pregnant with Caleb's baby she was scared to tell him cuz she didn't want to lose him again
(Okie dokie.)
Caleb was on a hiking trail, running like mad. He was trying to clear his head and failing. 'I haven't been able to talk to Briar in a few weeks… I've been so busy that whe I get a moment to sit down and try to call her, I just pass out. I managed to try and call her a few times, but she never picked up. I left several voicemails…' He slowed to a stop on the trail, huffing and puffing. When he finally caught his breath, he yanked out his phone, thanking whatever god was out there that he had reception out here, and punched the speed-dail for Briar. "Please pick up, please pick up, please-" he muttered under his breath
Broar gulped as she saw the phone ring she carefully picked it up and put it to her ear after clicking answer "h-hello' she said
Caleb sighed in relief. "Oh thank gods. You haven't been picking up. I was worried something happened to you. You're alright then?"
She nodded,"I'm fine" she answered kind of harshly
Caleb jerked a little at her tone. "I-I'm sorry… I sh-shouldn't have been bugging you. I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone, I'm sorry." He stumbled over his words, worried he did something wrong and maybe she was mad at him.
She side, "no I'm sorry it's just the mood swings'
Caleb was confused. "Mood swings??" He relaxed, but only just.
" . . . Caleb I'm pregnant"she said
Caleb froze, his brain trying to process what she said, consequentially not saying a word, his end silent.
"I understand if you don't want to be with me anymore if you want to leave completely understandable" she said
Caleb finally spoke, and you could clearly hear the tears in his voice. "Are you kidding Briar? Are you joking? I…" he paused and sniffed a bit, wiping his eyes. "I'm so happy… I'm so so so sosososo so happy!"
She cried out " oh my God" she cried
Caleb fought back choking tears as he said, "C-can I come over…?"
She nodded " yeah you can come over" she said
Caleb immediately started running back towards his car, not hanging up. "Does Lizzie know yet?" he puffed into the speaker.
"No shes not here at her aunt's" she said
Caleb swung himself into his car and started it up. "How's your stomach been feeling? Do you have ginger-ale in the house?"
" no I'm fine" she said " don't worry" she said
Caleb rolled his eyes and chuckled as he pulled out of his spot, and started down the road. "Okay, I'll try, but remember- This isn't your first baby, but this is mine. I'm gonna be a little panicked, and I'm sorry, but please bear with me."
" I Know and I'm sorry I advance I I throat punch you" she halfway teased
Caleb laughed loudly. "Fair enough. Fair enough…. Hey, do you get paid maternity leave?"
" i still go to work" she said
"I meant later along your pregnancy. You can't be running around after bad guys with a baby belly."
" watch me" she teased
"I'd rather not. Though I'm sure whoever you're running after will definitely be terrified to death that a woman with a big pregnant belly is speeding after them with a gun." he teased back. "Seriously, though, please tell me you won't really."
"I won't but hurry up and get here and hold me" she said
Caleb was already turning onto her street. The hiking path hadn't been far from her house. "I'm almost there, Sweetheart." he replied, smiling.
"yay" she said cheerfully
He drove a little ways more before pulling into the driveway and turning the engine of his car off. "I'm here."
