Trixie and Eli had been together for two years, and living together for one, ever since Erin and David got married and Trixie very slowly moved herself into Eli's right under his nose.
They were happy. They got into fights occasionally, like always, but they always made up.
But this time...Trixie knew there was about to be a fight. A big one. And she wasn't sure they would make it out as a couple after it.
She sat on the couch, chewing her lip, frowning at her lap.

Eli came home after a long day working for Carl Henderson, a theater director who decided to team up with Eli to put on Eli's debut production. Carl had discovered Eli and had given both Eli and his creative talents a chance, but Eli and Carl had a difficult time getting along. Carl wanted things done his way, and Eli, since it was his musical, naturally wanted things done his own.
If it wasn't for Trixie's talents and popularity, Carl never would have given Eli, her doting boyfriend, a chance.It was the least he could do to allow Trixie to stay there with him- with her money, she actually made their apartment homey, and really very warm to live in.
"Goddamn Henderson wants to recast Frank," Eli announced to her as he walked in. "He was perfect. He was attracted to you, but knew how to keep his hands off. Had a great singing voice. Henderson caught Frank making out with his daughter in the prop room." He shook his head.

Trixie only half heard what he said. She was too busy imagining all the different ways he would break up with her.

"Trix? What's wrong?" Eli asked, glancing at the kitchen stove as he made his way over to her. "I thought you were excited for your day off, before opening weekend...."

Trixie finally lifted her head, looking up at him with red, wet eyes. "Oh, Eli..."

"What happened?" When her expression fell, so did his. He took her hands, and kissed them both. "Are you okay? Oh god, Natalie, what happened? Did someone hurt you?"

She shook her head, sniffling. "No, no, nothing like that." He loved her. His reaction proved that much. So she had to believe he would still love her, even after she told him. "Please don't be mad at me..."

Eli dropped her hands, giving her a puzzled look. "I can't promise that, Kitten. You know that." He sighed. "What's going on?"

She sniffled back tears. "I--ya know how I've been kinda sick lately? Tired? And you kept tellin' me it's 'cause the show's wearin' me out?"

"Y-yeah..." Eli said, studying her face. "Did you go to the doctor, Sweets?"

She nodded, chewing on her lip, her eyes watering. "Uh huh..."

Eli's expression fell. "Oh god. Trix. Is it bad? Are you sick? Why...why would I be mad at you if you are sick?"

"'Cause I ain't sick, Eli..." she looked away, whispering. "I'm pregnant..."

Eli looked away, letting the information register. "You..." He glanced at her. "We....a baby?" He gulped, looking down at his hands.

She nodded, her bottom lip quivering. "I--I'm sorry..."
