For the second time in her life, Tsuna stared down at her own positive pregnancy test, with a dizzying sweep of intense feeling burning through her veins.
Of course, the circumstances couldn’t have been more different. The first time, she’d been seventeen and scared, auditioning for companies, just trying to get her life started. She hadn’t been alone, at least, though her parents and sister still didn’t know it had happened. But even if her boyfriend at the time had been as helpful and supportive as he knew how, he’d been a kid, too, no more ready than she had been. That sweep of feeling had been apprehensive, bordering on flat terrified, with a healthy mix of dread thrown in for good measure.
Now, of course, she was a settled adult, married, retired from the stage…this time, that little blue line was a pleasant surprise, rather than a nightmare waiting to happen. She and Evan hadn’t exactly been trying yet, but they both wanted kids eventually, and they had been a little lax about birth control lately.
Yeah. Definitely not an expected development, and maybe a little earlier than she and Evan had planned, but they were ready for this. This time, she was full of sweet anticipation. Even the faint tingle of nerves, because what if we’re less ready than we think, what if we screw up couldn’t dampen her joy.
She grinned to herself and slipped the test back into a plastic bag, in case Evan was one of those weird sentimental types who wanted to keep it. She couldn’t wait ‘til they both got home tonight, and she got to give him the good news.
