Summary: Milo's P.O.V again
2:00 P.M. Saturday:
Milo stiffened. He felt as if he had suddenly forgotten how to breathe. His stomach was in knots and his heart was pounding so fast, he thought it would fly right out of his chest. Hayden was still staring up at him patiently waiting for a response. Milo opened his mouth to speak but no sound came out. The words were stuck in his throat. What was he supposed to tell her? What did she want him to say? He was just as scared and confused as she was. Milo's eyes wandered in the direction of the front door. His mind was telling him to leave. To let her know that he needed time to think and that he would come back when he was ready to talk about it. His heart, however, told him that she needed him to comfort her and help her get through this. His eyes glanced back at Hayden. He had never seen her look so small. So fragile. And with that, he decided to remain where he was. He finally had the courage to say something. It may not have been the right thing to say, but at least it was something.
Milo: I thought you were taking-
Hayden: I was. It failed.
Milo didn't know what to say next. Luckily Hayden saved him from saying something stupid again by continuing...
Hayden: (sobbing) My period was coming late and I've been feeling like crap everyday and getting nautious so I started to think that maybe I was... well... then I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I wanted to be absolutelty sure before I told you so I went to a doctor this morning. You know the rest I guess.
Milo nodded. He moved one of his arms from her waist to her cheek so he could wipe her tears. Her skin felt so soft against his rough hand.
Milo: (whispering) How far along are you?
Hayden: About a month.
Milo: So... Bora Bora?
Hayden nodded. Milo thought back to Bora Bora for a minute. He remembered what a great time the two of them had celebrating both New Year's and their one year anniversersy. Everything was so romantic. And when he said everything, he meant EVERYTHING!!! It made him feel a little better knowing that their baby wasn't conceived in a dirty, sleezy way like some of their "other times."
Milo: No one else knows?
Hayden: The paparazzi caught me coming out of the doctor's office...
Milo stiffened some more. If there was one thing he hated more than anything, it was the paparazzi. Especially when they went anywhere near his girl.
Hayden: ... so I'm sure that'll be all over the tabloid magazines soon. Other than that, your the only one that knows. (sighing) I have no idea how to tell my parents. Eventually I'm gonna have to leave work, the fans will hate me, and damnit I'm gonna be huge!
Milo saw more tears coming so immediately his boyfriend instincts started kicking in. Both his arms were back around her waist and he pulled her into his chest. His chin rested on the top of her head.
Milo: Shh, shh. Don't worry about that now.
Hayden: I have to worry about it! I-
Milo: I know... just... not now. We'll tell your paretns whenever you're ready. They'll understand. We don't have to go public with this. The media will figure it out for themselves and when they do, let them say whatever the hell they want. As far as work goes, we're almost done filming Heroes' third season and then we'll be on break. After that I think we'll have to let the cast and crew know what's going on. Maybe they'll just put the fourth season on hold while your on maternity-
Hayen: What if they fire me?
Milo: They're not gonna fire the most important character of the show. I'm promise, you have nothing to worry about. I'll help you take care of everything. It'll be fine.
Milo was not only trying to convince Hayden, but himself as well. The press was going to be all over them about this. They would most likely lose respect of some of the fans. He could learn to deal with that but the one thing he couldn't handle is losing the respect of his family and friends. What would his paretns think of him? What would Hayden's parents think of him? They always thought of him as part of the family. Now would they even want him anywhere near their daughter? Even her little brother looked up to him. Would he still think of him as a cool, older brother? What about their frineds? Their co- workers? I guess he would have to find out. Deep down he knew they were in for 9 months of hell. Maybe longer. He kept telling himself he had to be strong. For Hayden. She locked her arms around his neck and continued to cry.
5:00 P.M. Saturday
For the next few hours all was quiet and peaceful. Milo was still on the couch lying on his back with hayden nuzzled on top of him. They tried to sleep being that both of them were worn out, but neither of them could. They just layed there with their eyes closed listening to the sounds of the wind outside. The whole world seemed at peace. Milo felt Hayden run her soft hands up his shirt. He opened his eyes to see her smiling down at him. Her tears had finally dried up. The beauty in her eyes stood out more than ever. He smiled up at her.
Milo: Feeling better?
Hayden: Not really, But i'm a bit more relaxed with you here.
Milo laughed and smiled bigger. He was glad he was here with her.
Hayden: I'm not ready to be a mom.
Milo sighed. He wasn't ready to be a dad quite yet either. He was far too busy with work to even think about raising a kid. But now that it was going to happen, sacrifices would have to be made. At least he was at the right age. Hayden was still very young. He couldn't help but feel guilty.
Milo: I'm sorry this happened.
He brought his hand up to caress her cheek.
Hayden: It's not your fault.
Milo: It's not your fault either.
Hayden: (sighing) I know. I blame the pill.
Milo laughed.
Milo: That dumb ass pill, huh?
It was Hayden's turn to laugh. He loved her laugh. It always cheered him up.
Milo: I really hope we can do this. I want things to work out between us. I don't want you to regret getting involved with me.
Hayden: You mean blame you for what happened? I take responsibility too, Milo. I think we can make this work. I love you.
She palced a soft kiss on his lips.
Milo: I love you too.
He sat them both up so that she was sitting on his lap. His hands were placed on her lower back for support. One of her hands wrapped around his neck while the other moved from under his shirt to her own stomach.
Hayden: (looking at her belly) We're gonna love it too, right? When it comes?
Milo: Yeah.
He threw her over to the far end of the couch so that her back rested on the pillows. Then he turned his own body to face her. When he had scootched close enough, he put one hand on her hip. He used the other to lift up both her sweatshirt and the tank top she wore underneath. He lowered his head and pressed his lips to her belly button.
Milo: (between kisses) We're gonna love it too.
Hayden giggled. Then Milo felt her pull his chin up to level his head with hers again. She pulled him into a long, passienate kiss. Milo knew there was still so much that needed to be figured out, but at that moment, the only thing that mattered to him was Hayden.
End of Chapter 3!!!!
