WARNINGS: "Not being able to get pregnant naturally." "Spiders" "IVF" "Ike and Tina Turner" 
Fallon's POV:
~The next morning~
I had to go into work. I had to meet with my manager, Siobhan. She was probably one of the hardest, most passionate, and most understanding person that I have ever met in a workspace such as entertainment. 
I respect Siobhan enough as a work colleague, but also as a boss. I see us as a team, that is how me and fellow actress, Anna Alcott became such good friends- we met when we worked on our last movie project together, it was both our movie and acting debut's- and since then we have become sensations, in our own respectable ways. 
I couldn't help but feel bad for Anna. She and her 'dick-of-a-husband,' Dex have been trying to have a baby of their own, for at least a few years now. They have had to turn to IVF. I could tell that it is a very hard process to deal with, especially for Anna- adding to the fact that Dex reminds me of Ike Turner. I ultimately felt bad for her, because she could not get pregnant naturally. She doesn't want me to feel bad for her, but I couldn't help it.
I walk into Siobhan's office. She smiles when she sees me, "Fallon, honey. My superstar." We hug, "Siobhan. How are you?" She smiles, "Great. Let's get into it." I say, "Yes, let's do this." I take a seat at a chair in front of her desk, and she sits down in her own chair, that faces both me and her huge computer monitor.
She looks at her computer, at my schedule, "Ok. It looks like I have you scheduled for a Vogue magazine cover on Thursday this week." I smile, "Great" She looks from her computer screen to me, "Oh my God. This just came in- Jimmy Fallon wants you on his show Friday." 
I almost jumped out of my seat, "Oh my gosh! I love him! I'm so excited!" She says, "I can see that. Ok, those movies you did with Evan Peters..." I ask, "X-Men?" She says, "Yeah. Those movies have truly put you on the path of this Oscar campaign. Can I confirm you for Jimmy Fallon this Friday?" 
I smile, "Of course." She smiles as well, "Great." Then she looks at me, "Fallon? The doll." I look to my bag, "I did not put that there." She asks me, "Are you feeling okay?" I say, "Lately, I have." 
She rolls her eyes, "Fallon, I adore you and Anna, but this is called "burying the lede. Anna had a very similar thing happen with a similar doll when she was here a couple days ago." 
Both Siobhan and I were walking outside when we ran into Anna-who decided to walk with us, "No one else knows. I mean, except Dex and Fallon, of course." 
Siobhan, "I'm so fucking excited for the both of you." I say, "Nothing has happened yet." Siobhan intervenes, "But it will." Anna, "We don't know that for sure." Siobhan, "You both have a peculiar penchant for turning dreams into nightmares."
Anna and I look at Siobhan, "What is that supposed to mean?" Siobhan stops us, "Listen, you're both suddenly A-list stars. After spending years on the CW, applying sunscreen with a smoldering stare, before you did a low-budget indie with both of you in it, that we all thought would wind up in the bargain bin at Walmart."
Siobhan, "No offense" Anna and I, in sync say, "None taken." Anna, "That is true." Siobhan, "And your world-renowned fertility doctor, Anna just told you he's so optimistic about your prospects." 
Anna, "But he said that last time." Siobhan, "That kind of thinking is what I'm talking about." I put my hand on top of Anna's as I lean over to her, "Focus on the good" Siobhan, "There's so much of it in your lives right now." Anna, "I'm terrified" I say, "You and me both." 
Siobhan, "It just means that you both are doing it right." Anna questions, "It?" Siobhan gives her an answer, "Life." Siobhan takes a sip of her drink as Anna asks her, "Hey, is it hard for you to talk about..." Siobhan answers with a, "No." 
Anna, "You didn't even know what I was going to say." Siobhan, "You were going to ask me if it is hard for me to talk about your IVF journey since mine didn't work out. Your joy's are my joy's." 
Yeah, Siobhan's IVF journey wasn't as successful as Anna's is currently. That is where both she and Anna met, is at an IVF support group. Anna, "We all would've met one day." Siobhan, "Maybe." 
Anna, "What? Fallon and I are actresses. You're a publicist." Siobhan, "Anna, you're an actress who didn't know that she needed a new publicist until I saw what you were posting on Instagram." 
Siobhan and I mock Anna, "Hashtag wine emoji. Hashtag night out." We all share a laugh together. 
When I returned back home, there was Spencer. We hug and he kisses the side of my head, "Ready for dinner?" He asks me and I smile, "Yes." We decided to have a home cooked meal of macaroni and cheese plus hot dogs- we both love that meal as it is a pure comfort food. 
We had dinner on our couch, as we settled on watching a show on Netflix titled, 'Stranger Things.' We were almost done with season one of the show, when I got a call from Anna. I look to Spencer and I show him my phone so that he could see who was calling me, "Hey, it's Anna. I'm gonna talk to her. I'll be right back." 
I get off of the couch to answer the call, when he playfully smacks my butt, "Ok, baby." I smile at him and wink as I answer it, "Hey girl. What's up?" She tells me, "Siobhan is here with us." I say, "Okay." 
Siobhan asks her, "Any word from the Baby Maker Doctor, yet?" Anna asks, "Do you guys think Dex is still in love with her?" I ask, "Who? Adeline?" Siobhan, "Honey, she's dead." 
Anna states what she is thinking, "I just sometimes feel like I can never live up to her" She then begins to cry, "Sorry. It's the hormones." Siobhan, "It's okay. Let it out" I encourage her, "Anna, breathe." 
Siobhan asks, "What are your guys' biggest fears?" I state, "Spiders. No doubt about it" Anna, "That my eggs are so old and dusty that my baby's gonna come out a spider." 
Siobhan, "Ok, Fallon's are a little bit more rational." I intervene, "Oh my gosh. Can that actually happen?" Siobhan groans, "Oh, Fallon. Not you, too. Your guys' odds of that happening are fantastically low. And I promise you, both. If that does happen, I will help you both raise your little spider babies." 
I point out a good point, "Hey, maybe our babies can be the new Spider-Man's or Spider-Woman's." We all laugh at that. I say, "Siobhan, I'll call you if my baby has any superpowers." She laughs, "Ok, Fallon. You do that." We laugh again.
Siobhan continues, "As if they crawled out of my own womb" Anna, "You two are unbelievable." Anna hangs up and the call ends. I head back to the couch. 
I say, "Ok. That is over" I sit by Spencer, who put his hand on my leg, "Everything ok, baby?" I say, "Yeah. Anna is just dealing with the hormones and emotions of IVF and Ike Turner's deceased wife." 
He looks at me, "Adeline?" I say, "Yeah. Anna doesn't feel like she will ever measure up to Adeline." He says, "But Adeline is dead." I state, "Exactly. I don't think Dex is a good guy either." 
He says, "I think so, for the most part." I say, "Well, Tina Turner said the same thing about Ike and look how that turned out." He nods his head, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I see it, too." We were going to continue watching our show when the doctor called us. 
I yell, "Pause it!" He does as we pick up the phone, "Dr. Hill?" He says, "Yes. Are you both there together?" Spencer concludes, "Yes, we are both here." Dr. Hill, "Okay." We put him on speaker, "You are on speaker now." He continues, "Okay."
Spencer and I hold hands as we await his news over the phone, "I have some good news for you, both. It looks like from your results, Fallon that not only are you in excellent condition, but you are officially pregnant!"
We are both wide eyed with extreme happiness, "Congratulations!" He says. I go, "Oh my gosh! Thank you so much." Spencer hugs me as Dr. Hill says, "I'm so happy for the both of you, we will talk again shortly about your first appointment for the baby." I say, "Yes, we will. Goodbye." He says, "Goodbye. Talk soon. Have a goodnight." I say, "You too." 
The call ends as both Spencer and I look at each other and shout, "PREGNANT!!" We hug softly and closely as we celebrate with the joys that we are going to be new parents to our firstborn baby.
