Dear María

It’s been four weeks -a month basically- and I felt like everyday was a bit more painful; my stomach hurt and my hormones were slightly high, plus I had to run a few times to the toilet to throw up, not even putting fingers. I felt a bit gross and weird all the time and it was worrying me a lot, so after working in the tattoo shop, I went straight to the chemist and he gave me some pills and a pregnancy test, just in case it was that.
I’d just come home and found Jack playing xbox in the living room.
“Hey, baby” he greeted when I closed the door.
“Hi” I almost whispered and sat down next to him.
“How was work?” he asked, his eyes not leaving the screen.
“Fine, I guess. My boss asked me to start drawing some sketches” I tried to control my voice.
“What’s wrong, baby?” Jack paused the game and turned to me.
“Nothing” I lied.
“Oh, come on!” he put a hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “Tell me”
“I-I just don’t know what’s wrong” I rested my head on his shoulder and he moved his hand on my waist and put it on my back, and started to draw soft circles on my skin. “I feel so gross all the time, and I can’t seem to stop throwing up” I put a hand under my fringe and pressed my forehead.
“Throwing up in what sense?” Jack asked softly.
“As in the sense of my-own-body-is-rejecting-everything-I-eat” I exhaled, a bit frustated with myself.
Jack frowned and I shook my head.
“I need to do something” I said and stood up, Jack tried to stand as well, “Jack, is fine, really” I tried to reassure him.
“What are you going to do?” he asked, standing in front of me.
“I went to the chemist after work and he gave me some pills” I explained, walking around the couch, Jack following me, “And he also gave me a pregnancy test” I added in a very low voice.
Jack walked quietly behind me and when I got to the bathroom, he put his hands on my hips and turned me around.
“You think you’re pregnant?” he asked.
“I’m starting to have my doubts” I frowned a bit, “Although that’s almost impossible because you use protection every time” I said quietly, thinking aloud.
He pulled me into a hug, I buried my face in his chest.
“Hey, Mari”
“Yes, Jack?”
“I don’t care if you’re pregnant or not, I love you” he pulled away a bit, still keeping me close to him, and looked me in the eye. “I’ll be right here, just take your time” he pecked my lips softly and let me go.
When I finished, I flushed the toilet and opened the door. Jack was staring down at his phone. His head shot up and he put away his phone when he saw me.
“So?” he walked to me.
“I still don’t know” I sat next to the sink and Jack stood in front of me, pulling me into a hug.
“It’ll be alright” he whispered in my ear.
We waited for a few minutes. Jack put his hands on my hips. I knew he didn’t like feeling my bones, but he didn’t remove them until the test beeped. Two quick beeps.
I held it and, without seeing the sign, I gave it to Jack and looked at him. He looked worried when I handed him the test, but he started to grin when he saw the result.
“Jack, I’m still here” I said half joking, half impatient.
He handed me the test with a smile.
“We’re gonna be parents” he hugged me tightly and kissed me lovingly.
I started to cry when I saw the + sign in the test and kissed him back.
I’m pregnant.
