Can she cope with the crazy roller coasters or is the love for Justin not just enough?

MR MAMA'S BOY

"Mom, I've  thought hard and long about it and I really wanna make things permanent with Marissa" Justin was speaking in a solemn tone to Karen. 


Karen looked up at him. They were at their favorite Chinese restaurant having dinner. Justin had attended to a business client she introduced him to earlier. 


Karen almost choked. She quickly grabbed the glass of water nearby and gulped half of it down. 


"Are you okay Mom?" Justin asked, concerned, at the edge of his seat. 


"I'm  fine,"Karen cleared her throat."Are you sure about what you just said?"


"I'm  one hundred percent sure. Marissa is who I want. I want her to spend the rest of her life with me. I want her to birth my kids."


"Wow," Karen swallowed hard."But you do know I do not like Marissa very much. Especially her family."


"But I'm in love with her. I don't think I've ever loved anyone as much." 


Justin's eyes didn't leave Karen's for a second. 


He reached out for her hand on the table and squeezed it. 


"Marissa has stuck with me the longest. And we're both imperfect but I really want to take this bold step. Please Mom. Just give me your blessings."


Karen sighed and turned her eyes away briefly and then looked at him. 


"My blessings are always with you Juan Miguel.I want to see you happy always."


"What does that mean?" Justin felt a smile forming unto his lips. 


"Let's get ready to shop for an engagement ring darling," she responded and squeezed his palm reassuringly. 


Marissa was rushed to the hospital. Aaron and Chris only calmed down until the doctor told them she was awake and they could go in to see her. 


"Why do you guys look like somebody died?" Marissa asked in a teasing tone, noticing the looks Aaron and Chris had on their faces. 


She was sitting on the bed, legs stretched out  with a hospital gown. A plaster was covering the cut on her forehead. She looked tired but managed to keep a small smile on her face. 


Aaron and Chris took turns in hugging her. 


"We were so scared honey," Chris was saying taking her hands in his. Aaron sat down by her side. 


"I'm  fine Dad," Marissa said reassuringly."Just a bit tired but I'm okay.Oh and I hit my head on the sink before I blacked out. That's why I have a little headache too."


"We knew something was wrong when it took you forever to come out from the bathroom" Aaron spoke. 


"What did the doctor say was wrong?" Marissa asked, her eyes searching their faces. 


They both kept silent for a little while. 


"What? Do I have a disease? Am I going to die?" Marissa urged. 


"You're not dying silly,"Aaron quickly said."You're preggy"


"I'm going to be a granddaddy" Chris said as his face broke into a smile. 


Marissa was surprised at first. She never saw this coming. She and Justin were never planning for a baby. And they had protected sex. 


She didn't know what to feel at first and then suddenly, she had the excitement of a baby growing inside her and she was going to be a mother for the first time ever in her life. 


"Oh my God,"she put her hands over her mouth. Her eyes were getting teary already."I'm going to be a mommy?"


"I called Justin to come over. I already told him the hospital we're at" he told her. 


"I hope you didn't tell him I'm pregnant" 


"You don't want your baby daddy to know?" Aaron queried with an unreadable expression. 


"I'm going to tell him silly," Marissa gave an eye roll. "I just want it to come as a surprise."


"Don't worry, I haven't told him what's wrong yet" Chris said on a final note.


You are preggy.
