We Could Be Something

112: You Think So?

Nibbling anxiously on the side of her thumb, Adriana looked down at the phone which sat in her lap, her blue eyes peeking at the clock which ticked on the screen. It was a little out of the blue, when Adriana had woken up a few days previous feeling nauseous, she had been quick to dismiss it, but after a couple of days of feeling sick she had opted to pick up a pregnancy test, a test that she had opted to keep hidden from her husband.

It had been a little while, after she and Iker had gotten married, they’d travelled to Madrid for a few weeks, and whilst they had talked about the prospect of trying for another baby, they’d agreed to put it off for a little while, something which made Adriana slightly nervous. She knew what she wanted, eventually, she wanted her and Iker to welcome another baby into the world, but she knew that he wanted to wait, not wanting to put too much on them too soon.

Sparing another soft look down towards her phone, she gently chewed on her lip for a couple of seconds before she peeked towards the counter, her blue eye settling on the pregnancy test which sat on it. Waiting a couple more seconds, she allowed the timer to tick down before she set her phone on the counter, moving to collect the test. Taking a small breath, she briefly contemplated throwing the test away without looking at it before she shook her head, moving to flip the test over in her hand.

Quickly scanning the result, she let out a small squeak before she shifted her hand, gently resting it against the front of the dress she wore. She knew that it was soon, Luca and Olivia were still young and she and Iker were still adapting to the idea that they were married, but she was excited, even if she was worried that Iker wouldn’t take the news well, she was excited by the prospect of welcoming a new addition to their family.

“Addie?”

Adriana, who’d been studying the positive test which sat in her hand, jumped at the sound of Iker’s voice before she quickly hid the test, moving to step out into the bedroom where Iker stood, a small frown on his face. “Are you OK?” he posed softly “You’ve been up here for a little while” he added, his tone soft and warm.

Adriana paused for a moment, briefly contemplating sharing the news of her pregnancy with him, before she shook her head, quirking a small smile. “I was just finishing getting ready” she noted softly “We have to leave soon, don’t we?” she posed, moving to collect a pair of shoes. It had been sudden, the invitation to spend the afternoon at a small get together that Sergio and Pilar had organized, but Adriana had been quick to accept it, even if a small part of her was still nervous around Iker’s friends, she wanted to make the effort to get to know them.

Iker offered her a slightly dubious look, wordlessly asking if she was sure that she was OK, before he nodded his head. “We do have to get going soon” he confirmed softly “I promised Sergio that we’d be early so that I could help him out with setting up. Are you sure that you still want to go?” he posed gently.

Adriana, who’d moved to slip her feet into her shoes, quirked a small smile at the tone of concern in his voice before she nodded her head. “I’m sure” she noted softly before she stepped towards him, pressing a soft kiss against his cheek before she padded out of the room, mumbling about getting Luca and Olivia ready to go.

Iker watched her out of the room before he shook his head, a slight frown on his face. He knew that there was something he was missing and it irked him that he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

Sipping on her glass of water, Adriana spared a look across the garden she was sat in, her blue eyes settled on Iker who sat away from her, happily babbling to Olivia who sat in his lap, giggling and smiling brightly.

It had been a good day, even despite the slight sense of nervousness that Adriana had had at the prospect of spending time with Iker’s friends, she had enjoyed the small party that Sergio had thrown, and she was glad that she had opted to go, even if she did feel a little unwell, she was glad that she had spent time getting to know the people that Iker spoke so highly of.

Taking another sip of her drink, she spared another soft look towards Iker and Olivia before the sound of someone settling down beside her reached her, causing her to turn slightly, peeking towards Pilar who’d sat down beside her, a warm smile on her face. “Are you feeling OK?” Pilar posed softly.

Adriana tilted her head. “Why wouldn’t I be?” she posed gently.

Pilar quirked a coy smile before she shook her head. “Because I think you might hiding a little surprise from your new husband” she quipped, her eyes peeking playfully down towards Adriana’s stomach.

Adriana blinked a couple of times, caught off guard by the other woman’s words, before she opened her mouth to refute it, something which made Pilar shake her head. “Don’t worry” she mused softly “I have no intention to ruining the surprise. But you are, aren’t you?” she posed gently.

Adriana chewed on her lip for a couple of seconds before she sighed, nodding her head softly. “It’s early” she mumbled “And I’ve not told Iker yet. How did you know?” she asked quietly.

Pilar shrugged. “I know the signs” she quipped “You’ve not touched a drop of the drink Iker gave you earlier and when we served food earlier, you looked a little nauseous, I just put the pieces together” she added softly, a warm smile on her face.

Adriana offered her a soft look before she shook her head. “I’d like it if you kept this to yourself, Pilar” she noted softly “The news is still sinking in and I’ve not yet found the nerve to tell Iker, so…”

“Your secret is safe with me” Pilar interrupted softly “But, for what it is worth, I am sure that Iker will be more than thrilled by the idea” she added, sparing a small look across the garden towards Iker who was playing with Olivia and Luca.

Adriana followed the line of her stare before she tilted her head. “You think so?” she posed softly “I mean, we’ve talked about having another baby, but I think we both wanted to wait a while. Olivia and Luca are still young and…”

“Adriana, Iker will be thrilled” Pilar interrupted, a grin on her face “He adores you, it’s obvious to everyone that sees you two together, and I am sure that he will be ecstatic by the idea of another little one, even if it is a little fast. You two are onto something pretty special” she enthused, her hand gently moving to squeeze Adriana’s.

Adriana spared a small glance down towards their hands before she quirked a small smile, wordlessly thanking Pilar for her words. She knew that it was soon, the idea that she and Iker were expecting a new baby was something which had caught Adriana off guard, but she had to admit that she was excited, even if she was nervous that it was soon, part of her couldn’t wait for the new addition to arrive.
