A/N 2: Sorry for the long wait, school's been hectic as has life.
Alex hasn’t been right. Not since the night where her and Eveline….well yeah. She doesn’t know what’s wrong with her. Maybe it’s the thought that she could possibly be a mom in 6 months, or maybe it’s the thought of what her parents and Eveline’s parents might do when they find out. Whatever it is, it’s seriously hurting her. She’s been off in soccer, and she’s been off in glee. She just can’t seem to concentrate on what she should be doing; her thoughts always drift to Eveline, mainly in the stomach region. She’s already had to pay for it to. Coach gives her extra laps and she just ends up practicing the songs in glee at home. But she’s not the only one that’s struggling.
Eveline’s had just as hard of time concentrating in anything she does. She missed her period last week and now she’s really starting to believe she’s pregnant. If the missed period didn’t get her mind thinking then it was the slight nausea, or the general tiredness she feels, and if not that then the fact that her boobs hurt more than they should pretty much got her believing she’s pregnant. She just doesn’t want to, because there’s no telling what her mom would do. She’s not that afraid of her momma’s reaction, because hello her momma couldn’t hurt a fly, and can hardly stand to go a few minutes of being mad at someone without breaking down and forgiving them. No her momma’s reaction is not the one that makes her nervous, it’s her mom’s.
“Hey.” Although if there’s one thing that Eveline can’t deny, it’s the adorable way Alex is taking this. She’s been so protective, more so than usual, but now, with her hands shoved deep into her pockets, with her bag hanging off of one shoulder and that nervous look her face is showing, is almost enough to put all worry of the pregnancy thing out of Eveline’s mind.
“Hey.”
“So you wanna go get it after school? Or wait till the weekend?” It’s true that Alex is defiantly the mirror image of her mamá but right now, with Alex almost timidly asking when they’re going to take the test, she’s reflecting some of her mom. Not that her mom is timid, she’s just kinder than Santana can be, and Alex is being nothing but kind right now.
“After school. Momma’s got a dance class today, and mom’s meeting with a client and won’t be back until dinner.” Alex gave a slow nod, fiddling with the strap that she held in her hand.
“Hey Evey?”
“Yeah?”
“Whatever the test comes out to be, I’ll always love you. No matter what.” Eveline felt the unmistakable sting of hot tears welling up in her eyes. Not wanting to show everyone the tears that were threatening to fall, she took a few steps forward until Alex was in arms reach, then wrapped pale arms around a toned waist, burying her face in the older wolf’s chest.
“I love you too Alex.”

Alex skipped soccer practice, while Eveline skipped cheerleading. And even though they knew they would pay hell for it tomorrow, they both believed this was a good reason for skipping, they just hopped they didn’t call home.
“I didn’t know which one to get so I got three different kinds. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try them all, you know make sure it’s a solid yes or no.” In times of Alex being nervous or truly afraid she’s been known to start talking like her mom does, and it never fails to give the blonde a few laughs. This is one of those times, and as she took the tests from the nervous brunette she couldn’t stop the few giggles that escaped.
“What?” The dancer just shook her head and ducked into the bathroom before the brunette could question her more.
Alex fiddled with her thumbs, moving them around in circles, touching the tips together and making bigger circles, then going back to moving them in small circles. It seemed to do well with helping her calm down some. That is until she caught a picture on Eveline’s dresser. She’d seen it a hundred times before, but now, with Eveline in her bathroom peeing on a pregnancy test, the picture of her holding her baby brother Lucas seemed to be a smack to the face. Alex quickly averted her eyes and went back to making the circles with her thumbs.
The door opening to Eveline’s room caused Alex to spring to her feet and take a few steps towards it, only to relax when a blonde head poked in.
“It takes a few minutes, but they’re sitting on the counter.” The Latina nodded and wordlessly followed her girl to the bathroom where 3 pregnancy tests were laid out on the counter, pee end hovering over the sink bowl.
“What are we going to do?” Eveline asked as she and Alex took a seat on the edge of the bathtub, fingers intertwined and gazes entirely focused on the tests in front of them.
“Let’s just find out what it is first.”
“Alex I already know.” The brunette’s gaze snapped over to the blonde, mouth dropped open and a slightly deflated look adorning her face.
“What…? How?”
“Well I don’t know know, I just…know.” Alex gave a small sigh and looked back at the tests.
“It’s been about a minute.” Eveline gave a nod but neither of them moved to look.
“Do you want to?” Blonde hair brushed against tan arms as she shook her head side to side.
“Ok I will.” A few seconds ticked by and still neither of them moved.
“Alex.” The dancer gave her a slight shove in the sinks direction, prompting her to stand and pick up the first stick. She barely gave it a glance before she put it down and move to the next one, only to do the same to that one.
“Alex…what does it say?” Eveline knew what they said, she wasn’t stupid. She’s experiencing the signs, she has been for a little less than a week, but she needed to hear it, needed it to be real.
“They’re all positive.”
