~*~ Not Meant to Be ~*~
Like a bolt of lightening, Andi sat straight up in bed only to double over in excruciating pain. She knew exactly what it was and as she lay in bed, hot tears burned trails down her cheeks. Where was Alex? She needed him now but his side of the bed was empty.
She knew she had to get up. She needed to take care of this. Slowly, she pulled herself up and trudged across the room to the bathroom.
Pushing the door open, AJ looked to their bed expecting to find Andi still asleep but found it empty.
Setting the tray down, AJ called, "Andi?"
From the doorway, Andi spoke weakly, "I’m right here, Alex."
Turning, AJ was surprised to see how pale she was and rushed to her side. "What’s wrong, Andi?" panic lacing his voice.
Tears streaming and her body shaking as she sobbed, she managed to choke out, "I’m not pregnant."
Disappointment gripped him as he held her. Stroking her hair, he said tenderly, "It’s okay, baby. We can try again next month. Practice makes perfect, ya know."
"You…you…you mean it?" sobbed Andi looking up into his eyes.
"Yeah, baby, I do. Now stop crying. I brought you lunch in bed."
Andi wiped her tears with her hands. "You have been so amazing…dinner, ‘Vegas’, the pool, the necklace…What did I do to deserve you?"
With a smirk, AJ said, "Ran into my car."
