[Sophie Elliston]

Set in 2055 in New Zealand​

Sophie had been having quite a few busy months with her healer training and trying to get Brianna accepted into a daycare that she barely had much time to think. It was all a good distraction however from her thoughts, and admittedly she was feeling a lot better about everything than she was this time last year. She had Etienne by her side, which was a lot more than she could ever ask for. Etienne gave her hope that there were nice people in the world.

One thing that had been on the back of her mind however was her mother, who couldn’t stop asking Sophie when she was going to settle down and get married, particularly as she already had a baby. Apparently it wasn’t a good look, and whilst Sophie didn’t care too much about appearances, she knew marriage must be around the corner soon. She had been sending Etienne hints, talking about how some people that she went to school with were married, showing pictures of wedding dresses that she thought other people looked good in, but she wasn’t sure if he was getting any of it. She was starting to think perhaps maybe it was all a little too soon for Etienne.

That morning, she woke up earlier than usual, feeling a little nauseous. Etienne had something planned for them tonight, so she really hoped she’d be okay for it. She’d organised for Brianna to be looked after by her mother, and she would be really disappointed if she had to cancel everything at the last minute. She walked out into the living room and slowly sat on the couch, suddenly feeling a headache coming along as well. She sighed, hoping that it would pass soon. But as she felt a little more nauseous, she made her way to the bathroom instead, suddenly thinking this feeling was all a little too familiar. She was sure it couldn’t be, but she opened the bathroom drawer and dug around for the spare pregnancy test, just wanting to see if this could be the answer to all of her problems. The woman sat on the bathroom floor with her back against the wall, waiting nervously for the result.

 

[Etienne Monet]

Etienne had settled into his new life fairly easily. He'd moved into the room with Sophie, and slowly they'd found a way to merge their tastes into something new, something that was them. He'd added a few more pillows to the bed, ever a cuddler. He'd gotten a good gig going, having rented a small space a few blocks down so he could have a space to set up his grand piano for lessons. He'd grown quite popular in the area, and was making some steady income as a piano teacher.

He had finished up his last lesson for the day before running to the grocery store. He was doing his best to try and make life easier for her, make her happy. He loved her with all of his heart; she and little Brianna were his world. Which was why he'd gotten the engagement ring. It had been sitting in his jacket for months now as he tried to find the right time. He was pleased to think she would say yes, just going off of all the hints she'd been leaving him.

He had it all set now; tonight was the night. He'd arranged a babysitter for Bri, and found them reservations on a nice, quiet balcony, with her favorite meal and dessert, loads of flowers and candles. The perfect romantic evening.

He came home now, groceries in hand, and eager for the night. "Mon cher, I'm home!" He called out, moving to the kitchen to put away the groceries. "Sophie?" He looked around for his love.

 

[Sophie Elliston]

As Sophie heard the door open and the sound of Etienne's footsteps, she froze, the test falling into her lap as she clenched her shaking fists beside her. She looked down at the test, the two lines as visible as ever, and that was when she felt her heart beating against her chest and her vision started to blur. They hadn't even been married yet. What was Etienne going to think? She could barely deal with Brianna on her own, let alone another child. What was her mother going to think? She had made this mistake once before, so why hadn't she learnt?

As Etienne's voice echoed, she felt the tear slowly creep down her cheek and she began to sob. It was obvious that he could hear her now but she couldn't control it. Besides, she couldn't hide this from him anyway. He was going to find out eventually. "E-Etienne..." she stammered to get his attention. She really hoped he would understand, not that she had the words to explain.

Etienne's brow furrowed as he looked around, then his eyes popped wider as he heard the sobbing. He rushed to the bathroom, forgetting everything else. He dropped down in front of her, reaching out. He murmured in rapid french, trying to soothe her. "Sophie, shh, ça va aller, mon amour, viens ici," He purred, trying to draw her into his lap, meaning to cuddle her against his chest, nestle her head in his neck, stroke her hair and rub her back.

*it's going to be alright, my love, come here

 

[Sophie Elliston]

As Etienne rushed in to her, Sophie had completely lost all ability to talk. Her chest was tight and her whole body felt tense. She let him hold her, resting against him whilst she continued to sob. Her face was wet, also making his shirt wet, but she couldn't stop. With a shaking hand, she reached for the test that was in her lap and held it up to show him. She then held her breath as she waited for his response, completely ready for him to leave her on the bathroom floor.

-godmods approved-

It took Etienne a moment to understand what it was that Sophie was showing him. His brow furrowed and he reached over to take the test in his hand, jaw dropping as it hit him. "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" He murmured, bringing it closer. When he realized what it was, his jaw dropped- and so did the test- it clattered to the floor. "Oh mon Dieu," He breathed, before grasping onto Sophie and hugging her tightly. He started peppering kisses over her skin, one hand moving over the back of her hair. "Mon Cher, is that what I think it is?" He whispered, holding her close and unable to help the ear splitting grin on his face.

*What is this?
*Oh my God
