>"Anon where are the blankets again?" Adagio called out to me.
"Right there I left them, they're folded up on top of the dryer."
>"Are you shi-oh hey, here they are...sorry!"
>God damn this woman had been so needy the last few days.
>"Anoooonnnn I'm going to the bathroom again!"
>That's the third time today. We've only been awake for two hours.
"You doing alright there?" I called out after a few minutes. Coming closer to the door, I heard a gasp.
>Welp, I'm out. She's probably fine.
>"Anon could I get some help in here." she called. 
>Turning back around, I moved back towards the latrine door.
"Need me to come in?"
>I heard her moan out what I assumed was a "Yes"
>Walking in, I saw her praying to the porcelain gods.
"Dagi..." I said, moving towards her to help hold her hair out of the way while another bout of rumbling came from her stomach.
>Annnnnnd there it goes. 
>I can recognize some of what I'd made for breakfast in there.
>"Uuuuuhhhhhhnnnnnnnnn"
"Yup. Just let it all go sweetheart."
>We sat there for a minute while tears lightly spilled from her eyes and she moaned at her stomach's revolt.
>I kept my hands on her hair and shoulder, cooing and soothing her nerves as best I could.
>"Anon I have to show you som-URGH" 
>She didn't manage to finish her sentence before another wave of bile stopped her short.
>This went on for a good thirty seconds before it stopped.
>Breathing hard for another minute, she slowly started to stand up.
>I lifted her as best I could, sliding her arms around me and pulling her up.
>I sat her back against the sink and got her a glass of water from the kitchen.
>When I returned, she had something in her hands.
>"'Nonny..."
>Ooooohhhhhshit. She never called me that. Only Sonata called me that.
>She held something out to me. It was only about the size of a pen, maybe a little wider at one point.
"Is that a..."
>"Yes."
>I took it from her grasp and looked down at it.
>It was positive.
My brain stopped for a moment. 
"Well, then."

>"A-Anon?" Adagio's voice broke through whatever haze was over my brain.
"Yes? What's wrong?" I replied, my tone even.
>"You've been staring at me for nearly five minutes..."
>I looked back down into my hands.
>It was positive.
>"You're...you're not going to leave, right?" 
>The question sounded so innocent.
>My heart shattered.
"I'm not leaving, Dagi."
>I looked up at her again, setting the pregnancy test down on the counter. 
>Tears were flowing freely from her eyes.
>She was never like this. I should have known something like this was going on. 
>She hadn't been her usual domineering self for almost two days now.
>Her crying brought me back to reality, her arms wrapped around me as she sobbed into my chest.
>Slowly, I cradled her in my arms while she wailed, the sound of her cries such a brittle thing.
>Burying my face in her hair, I kissed the top of her head over and over, whispering sweet-nothings to her in an attempt to calm her down.
>By my internal clock, an hour had passed, but it was likely less than four minutes before she stopped bawling. 
>She looked up at me, the slight amount of makeup she had on smeared, her hair a somewhat bedraggled mess.
>Fragile. That described this.
>"Anonymous, I love you," she whispered.
>There it was. The "L" word. She'd never used it before. Sonata enjoyed it. Hell, even Aria had told me she loved me before now. 
>Alright Anon play it cool.
>I smiled down at her, with what I assumed was a reassuring grin.
"I love you too, Adagio Dazzle." It was quiet, but I tried to make sure it sounded sincere. It was true. Just weird saying it for the first time.
>At this, she started bawling again.
>shitshitshitshitwatdo
>Leaning into me again, she just stood there crying.
>I just hugged her close, stroking her hair. 
"It's okay Dagi.
>Time passed, but Adagio finally cried herself out.
>"Anon...I'm going to clean myself up a bit..." she informed me.
>I just nodded and gave her a light kiss before leaving the bathroom.
>Moving into the hallway, I started to just wander aimlessly through the apartment. 
>I heard the shower start up. 
>Taking my time, I proceeded to clean up small messes in the kitchen, fold the laundry, just general chores around the place.
>Adagio was pregnant. She and I were having a baby.
>It finally hit me like a ton of bricks.
>Adagio was pregnant. 
>We were having a baby.
>Us.
>Ohmanohboyohgosho
"What are Sonata and Aria going to say?" I blurted to myself, dropping the pan I was cleaning into the kitchen sink.
>Holy shit Batman, how are THEY gonna take it?
>"Anon! Come here!" I heard Adagio call out. She sounded somewhat distressed, though.
"Moving!" I called back, jogging back towards the latrine. I opened the door and made my way inside, the hot steam catching somewhat off guard as I walked in.
>"I just need a towel," she informed me as she poked her head around the shower curtain.
"Anything else while I'm here?" I inquired.
>You interrupted my dishes for this?
>"No." she replied flatly.
>I waited until I exited the bathroom before grumbling. At least she was somewhat back to acting normal again with her demands.
>At least it was drawing my mind away from...
>Pregnant. My girl is pregnant.
>I found myself on autopilot, obtaining a towel for Adagio and moving back to the latrine.
"Here's your towel," I said somewhat absentmindedly as I said it down on the toilet-seat.
>"Thank you." She stated as she stopped the water, stepping out from behind the curtain.
>I turned and walked out, giving her privacy as she did whatever it is that women do to prepare themselves.

>An hour passed, but the entire apartment was pretty much spotless, save for Aria's room.
>I'd started to come to terms with the fact that I was going to be a dad.
>"Anon?" Adagio called.
"Yes honey?"
>"I need help. I'm in my room."
>No shit Sherlock.
>Taking my sweet time to put a few things back where they were, I make my way to Adagio's room.
>She's lying on her bed, tears streaming down her face.
>...what.
>"Anon I don't know if I'm ready to be a mother."
>Little late for that now.
>Rather than saying anything snarky though, I simply walk up to the bedside and sit.
>She looks up at me, her nose starting to run as the tears fall.
>"I mean, what if I can't handle it? What are the others going to say? I-I always have a plan, but I n-never thought I'd ever get pregnant!"
>She's getting louder as this goes on.
>I wrap my arms around her and she hits my chest a few times.
>"Stupid stupid stupid..."
>She eventually stops, falling forward and burying her face against me.
>The tears eventually subside, but she still chokes and sobs a little.
>Eventually she pulls away to lay back, but I follow her down.
>Lying next to her, I cupped her face in my hands and had her face me.
>"Anon what are yo-MMPH"
>I silenced her with my lips, holding her in place for a moment until her surprise died down.
>We stayed there for a while, slowly kissing. There was no fire in this contact, just simple comfort.
"Now stop getting all worked up." I tell her, breaking contact with her mouth. "We can handle this just fine."
>Her defenses start to come back up, the tenderness of the moment passing.
>"You'd better be sticking around..." 
"I'm not going anywhere."
>At this, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close.
"We'll be fine." I said with a confidence that I felt building up. 
>Pressing one last kiss to her lips, I closed my eyes and nuzzled her with my nose.
>I didn't realize just how tired I was...
>Adagio's light breathing lulled me to sleep.
