We've Always Got Hope

"Do you want to look at it or...?"

"I think we should do it together" Alex suggested. I nodded in agreement and walked into the bathroom again, taking the pregnancy test I'd laid upside down on the sink. "It's okay, Izzy, just flip it over" Alex whispered into my ear as he took me from my waist, probably noticing my hands were already shaking.

"I just... Al, I'm so nervous" I stuttered.

"Do you want me to do it?"

"Yeah, I can't look at it" Alex laughed, taking the test from my hands.

"How are you not going to look at it?"

"Well, what if I'm not pregnant, Al?" I whimpered. "I'm just sick of getting my hopes down"

"Izzy" Alex softly called. "Come on, it doesn't have to stop us. If you're not pregnant, then we'll just keep trying"

"Yeah, but we've been trying for ages"

"Well, apparently, it's not that simple" Alex shrugged. "I mean, that's what the doctors said"

"I know" I sighed. "Alright, whatever. Flip it, I can't take this anymore"

"At the count of three, okay?" Alex smiled over my shoulder.

"Yeah"

"One" I harshly closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath. "Two" I could hear Alex softly chuckling behind me, but I was seriously dying inside. "Three"

"Oh, my God" I gasped, covering my mouth with my hands as a few tears instantly rolled down my cheeks. "Alex, we..."

"Izzy, you're pregnant" Alex mumbled in awe, holding the pregnancy test closer to our face. "Iz, we're having a baby"

"Oh, my God" I repeated, still too shocked to react.

"Iz, we did it!" Alex yelped, leaving the test on the sink again and making me spin to face him. "Izzy, we're having a baby" He announced with a huge smile, cupping my face with his hands.

"I know" I whined, letting Alex kiss my lips. "I can't believe this"

"Yeah, me neither" Alex breathed out.

"Al, we're going to be parents!" I squeaked, falling hard into reality. "Oh, my God, we're going to be parents"

"I know!"

"Oh, God" I cried, letting my tears break loose.

"Come here, Iz" Alex smiled, hoisting me up from the back of my knees and making me wrap my legs around him. "Don't cry, silly" He exclaimed, pecking my lips.

"They're emotional tears" I giggled, burying my face in the crook of his neck as he lightly swayed us.

"Fuck, I can't believe we finally did it"

"We're having a baby, Al!"

"Izzy, this is so insane!"

"I know!"

"Listen, I don't want to spoil the party, but we really need to get you to the doctor and make sure this is actually happening"

"Yeah, I know, you're right" I murmured as Alex laid me back on the ground. "I just... I hope this stupid test is not making a mistake" I hissed, hearing Alex's laughter beside me.

"I'm pretty sure they work just fine most of the times, love"

"I hope so"

"Don't worry, Izzy" Alex soothed me whilst he drew my hair back. "We're having a baby, no matter how much it costs us"
