Landscape
"She wants the silence, but fears the solitude
She wants to be alone and together with you"
Florence and the Machine
"Get the fuck away from my man. I think this is your best line so far, McGuinness." Alo said, pocking her and making her smile. "I loved." he said with a husky voice, pulling her closer and kissing her.
"Yea, was very pretentious." she said in his lips, and he kissed her again. But before they'd start to take clothes off, she needed to know if he understands her feelings, so she pushed him gently. "Als..." Mini started, looking in his eyes.
"Princess?"
"You understand I need you back because I fucking love you, right? I mean, I really, really fucking love you and is quite insane how I feel, I don't even know..."
"Mins, I know."
"Yea, but..." she fumbled, trying to choose her words. "I don't want you to think that... maybe other things made me want you." he frowned. "Like... You asked me to find my priorities, and I did. It's about you and me, nothing else, you know? Because we're fucking great together and you make me smile like anyone does, and you think I'm beautiful, and yea... you're the best shag I've ever had."
"Yea?" he cut, laughing. "You really look cute when you're nervous, but... why are you?"
"I'm scared." she finally said, and Alo breathed slow, stroking her hair.
"You shouldn't. How many times have I told you I love you?" it made her sigh and relax, laying her cheek in his hand. "It's true. And I know you so well by now."
"Do you?" she replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes."
"Prove it."
"You're a very, very clever person, but don't always show it nor like to show it. Your favorite class is science. You wanted to be a vet before you first saw America's Next Top Model." she giggled. "That's why you get along with the animals on the farm so well, and I still think you should go back to vet, but I never told you that." it made her look down a bit and half-smile. Cute - she thought, and looked at him again when he kept talking. "You're very protective with people you love; your favorite singer is Cheryl Crow, and you'd have a lady boner if she colab with Rihanna. Your favorite song, though, until a few weeks ago, was the non-released Landscape, by Florence and the Machine, which I agree it talks about you; your favorite musical isDreamgirls and your favorite movie all time is Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - you actually cry every time you watch the scene of the dolls; that one Clem talks about when she was little - and it has your favorite quote, 'I'm not a concept, Joel...'"
"'I'm just a fucked-up girl looking for my own peace of mind.'" she completed, almost whispering. "Yea... you know me."
"Told you."
And in that very moment she felt in heaven, just to have him close and lean and kiss him. She couldn't contain her words. "How have I thought I could live without it?"
-X-
"Where were you yesterday?" Alo whispered to her. They were in his room and Mini was lying with her head in his chest.
"Around. Details later, I'm sleepy."
"Wanna go for a movie tomorrow?" he asked. "We can watch Hugo; I heard it's about early '30s cinema."
"Yea, I've read the book." Mini answered, her speak getting slow. "I'm in."
"Cool." he whispered, and kissed the top of her head before fall asleep.
-X-
When he opened his eyes, she already was awake, sitting cross-legged by his feet, wearing one of his sweaters and petting Rags. He stretched out and she smiled.
"Good morning, sunshine." Mini said, tapping his knee. "Slept well?"
Alo yawned. "Pretty much." he sat up. "You okay?"
"Yea. Yea, I'm great. I..." she fumbled in her words again. "brought you breakfast." said pointing a cup of tea by the bed.
"Oh! Cheers!" he said, taking a sip of tea.
She let him drink a little more and lit a spliff - and declined when he offered. "Are you fully awake, Als?" Mini finally said. "'Cuz I have something for you... to tell you."
"Okay...?"
She took a few deep breaths and held some papers he hadn't noticed before.
"So... yesterday. Wanna know where I was?" he shook his head yes. "Right. I was with your mom, I... went to a doctor."
"Why and why?"
"Because I asked her to go with me and because I wanted to show you this." she handed the papers for him, and he put the spliff in his lips and the tea on the ground, to look at it.
"What's that?"
"Could you just look?" she shouted, rolling her eyes, and he sighed, turning the first page.
"You know I don't like reading." he complained. "That's a lot of pages, you know. I'm not getting it, is a lot of medical stuff and HOLY FUCK." Alo fell silent, looking closer. "Oh my God, it's an ultrasound scan and it looks like a baby, what..." he looked at Mini, who shrugged. "Oh fuck."
She leaned and backed a few pages to show him a graphic. "This line is the hormonal level of a normal-not-pregnant woman. This line is my hormonal level."
"It's incredibly high, huh?"
"Yes." she said, looking into his eyes, but Alo was focused on what was written down those pages. He got back to the ultrasound.
"How little is this?... 65 millimeters, what's that?"
"6,5 centimeters, Als."
"I know what it is. Looks like a alien, thought."
"It needs a few weeks to look a little cuter."
"Yea..."
They stayed in silence for a few minutes, Alo actually reading the exam.
"What are you feeling?" Mini asked, making him look at her.
"Is that why you were so insecure that day?" Mini nodded. "Silly blonde girl." he said with a smile, making her smile. "Of course we are kind of fucked, but... I assume you want to have it."
"I do. It's our baby."
"You really want it? I don't want you to do something you don't want to."
Mini's words were firm and decided. "It's ours. I want it."
Alo smiled. "So let's have it."
She smiled and kissed him happily.
"Think we gonna skip the movie today, I'm feeling quite numb yet." He said, when she embraced him" "But yes. I like it."
-X-
"Als?"
"Princess?"
"I'm thirteen weeks old pregnant."
"Yea."
"It is a she."
