Personal Narrative-Earth To Lance

“Earth to Lance.” Morgana waved her hand in front of his face, drawing his thoughts back to the present.

“I’m here. I was just daydreaming about that first night we slept together.”

“Excellent. That’s what you should think of, all the great sex we have. Let’s focus on that and forget the rest.”

“I can’t.” He grabbed her hand and held it to his chest. “I’m in love with you. I don’t want to hide this relationship anymore and skulk around like we’re doing something wrong.”

Morgana began to speak, but he held a finger to her lips. “My turn, Gana. You talk too much.” She huffed, but he continued. “I am hopelessly in love with you, and I have been for years. You’re the love of my life and you mean everything to me. I’m all in, and I need you …show more content…

As a police officer, he had medical training, but seeing the woman he loved pass out made all rational thought drain from his mind. He flew out of the patrol car and ran to the other side. By the time he reached Morgana and pulled her head into his lap, she was conscious and, thankfully, uninjured.

“I’m taking you straight to the hospital.” He lifted her into the car and closed the door. When he made it back to the driver’s side, he was ready to race, Code Three, lights and sirens, to the hospital. After he zipped up his pants.

“Jesus, calm down, Lance.” She pulled the keys out of the ignition. “Are you a cop, or what? There’s no need to panic. I’m fine.”

“You just fainted. You could have a hole in your heart or…or a brain tumor!”

Morgana groaned and rolled her eyes. “It’s neither of those things, Lance. Can you please just bring me home?”

He tried to grab the keys, but she kept them out of reach. “That’s ridiculous, Gana. You have to go to urgent care at least. Now give me the keys.”

“No.” She shoved them under her butt. “I know what’s wrong and it’s none of your concern. Bring me home, or I’ll walk.”

The doctor told me that during the appointment, told me to use a backup method of contraception for the week, but I totally forgot.”

Slowly, it all came together for Lance. Not that he kept track of Morgana’s menstrual cycle, but now that he thought of it, he didn’t remember her having her period last month. They hadn’t used condoms after the first month they’d had sex, because Morgana had gone on birth control pills and they both had clean STD panels.

“I’m pregnant, Lance. About eight weeks along. You must think I’m so stupid, or that I tried to trap you. I’m so sorry. You must be really shocked.”

Lance absorbed the reality of Morgana’s words. Morgana, the woman he loved, was carrying his baby. He was going to be a dad. Fuck, he couldn’t have been happier if he won the lottery. Much to his embarrassment, emotion overwhelmed him and a tear came to his eye.

“I’m so sorry,” she repeated in a whisper, reaching up to stroke his cheek. “But I’m not having an abortion. I’m keeping this baby.”

His head whipped toward her. “Of course you are. This is our baby, Gana, yours and mine. I’m so fucking happy, I can’t stand
