Ershey bit her lip as she stared at her front door. She had just gotten back from the midwife with Macbeth and now she had to tell Mush the news. She was sure... actually, more than sure that a little baby was growing inside her. She just hoped that Mush would be excited.
Sighing, she opened the door and immediately found Jo, attempting to color the tabletop. "Jo, Auntie Beth's back home," smiled Ershey, glancing at Mush then leading the little girl back out to the hallway and towards Macbeth's apartment.
Once she returned, she gave Mush a small smile and leaned on the door, trying to think of what to say.

Mush smiled back at her, setting down the article he was writing (he was desperately trying to get published in The World, but hadn't been successful so far). "Hey, baby," he said, standing up. Then he noticed her nervous expression. "...You okay?"

"Sorry about shouting at you earlier," she answered quietly, walking over to him and pulling him in for a hug. "Did Jo behave?"

He let out a soft chuckle as he held her, inhaling the scent of her hair. "Yeah, she was fine... It's okay, Ersh."

"Are you sure?" she muttered, looking up at him curiously. "Macbeth heard me all the way from their place... and was actually scared."

"I was scared, too..." he admitted, smiling sheepishly down at her. He cradled her face in his hands, his thumb brushing over her cheek gently. "But... I'd rather fight with you than anyone else."

Ershey smiled, chuckling softly. She was lucky to have someone like Mush. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad...
"Can I tell you something?" she asked quietly, already feeling nervous.

"Of course you can," he said just as quietly. He leaned in for a quick kiss, then watched her, waiting.

Ershey returned his kiss, leaning her forehead on his before pulling back to look at him. "Mush," she muttered, looking at him in the eye. She held onto his arms for support. "I'm pregnant."

He stared at her, eyes wide, body frozen. "You're...what?"

"I'm pregnant," she repeated, feeling a bit uneasy. "We're having a baby. "

He still stared at her, blinking a few times. "A...baby?" His voice cracked as he spoke, his throat feeling incredibly dry.

"Y-yeah..." muttered Ershey, her heart racing once she saw Mush's nervousness. She was ready to run back to Macbeth and hide but she stood there, waiting and hoping for a hint of happiness.

He let out a chuckle, a smile gradually appearing on his face. He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up, spinning her around.

"You're happy?" laughed Ershey both in surprise and relief.
