Elise felt a surge of worry and guilt grip her when she heard the anxious edge in Oliver's voice. She knew, logically, at least some (most of it even) of his worry came from a place of care for her, but part of her feared that the anxiety for his career, his life, would outweigh that care once she told him. It would be so out of character, she knew, for him to toss her aside once the truth was out, but still...what if?
She swallowed again and balled her hands together in her lap.
"Soo Mi took me to a clinic today..." She paused, brows furrowing. Regardless of his reaction, she had to tell him. He had the right to know and she had the right to measure his reaction. They had to figure things out regardless. Still, it was a terrifying prospect. "Oliver, I...I'm pregnant." She muttered, still not looking up. |

Oliver stared at her for a moment before taking a deep breath. "Oh...oh..." he said quietly before reaching for her hands. "This is gonna sound weird but I'm relieved." |

Elise looked up then, shock on her face. She had been so worried about a potential negative reaction, she hadn't even had the time to consider this reaction.
"Relieved?" She sputtered. |

"My brain was running through every scenario of you being deathly sick- I-I know this is scary too and completely unplanned but... but this, we can figure out. I couldn't handle the thought of losing you." Oliver rambled from nerves. |

Elise stared for a moment, listening to Oliver go on a mile a minute, before she let out a little puff of laughter. Her brows pinched softly, a little smile curling her lips as she freed up a hand to cup at his face.
"You mean that?" She asked. "You were that worried?" |

Oliver purses his lips in a small pout and nodded. "I dunno if you've noticed but I'm kinda head over heels for you." He said, pinkening. |

"What?" Elise said, feigning surprise with a little laugh that trailed off quietly. "I...you know, it's just, you never know how these sort of things will pan out, especially...with you being in the industry and all. I didn't think you'd necessarily react badly, but I...was a little scared." She admitted. |

Oliver nodded a little, rubbing his thumb against her hand gently. "Thats understandable. Completely. I am freaking out inside but not at you- just- wow. Man. We. Uh." |

"I know." Elise forced a little laugh, squeezing his hand. "It was surprising to me too." She said. |

"Have you thought about it?" Oliver asked, taking a deep breath. "Like... like what you wanna do?" |

Elise shook her head, her lips pressed tight and fingers tight on Oliver's.
"I've kind of been in a daze since I found out and when I got home... well I've just been so tired lately, so...you saw." Elise gestured towards her sleepy little nest. |

Oliver nodded and moved to sit by her properly and held out his arms to offer snuggles. "You did look really sleepy." |

Elise smiled soft, feeling silly for having any of her previous worries about Oliver's reaction. She scooted over to him and sank into his arms, her body relaxing almost instantly.
"And I was." She nodded before falling into a small silence. "I know a lot of people just know that they wan to be parents eventually, but...I don't know, I just never really thought about it seriously. I like kids, I love my niece and nephew a lot, I just...didn't think I'd have to think about being a parent so soon. I only just got into school, I haven't really traveled or done all the things I want to do, we only just started dating, you know? Also, not to mention your career and image...what having a baby would say about you according to everyone else... it would just be hard for both of us, wouldn't it?" She fell quiet again, but only for a moment as her next words didn't take much thought. "But I think about not having a little you? I...feel like I could stand for it to be a little hard." She glanced up at Oliver. |

Oliver listened to her as he wrapped his arms around her protectively. "I don't care about my image or this career enough to let it get in the way of something like that. And... people have babies all the time, if someone has an issue with it then... oh well. It'd be super cool news compared to everything else they say about me."
Oliver played with a piece of her hair. "I know we just started dating. And if you... you know, even if we do this and you ever have doubts, thats okay. I'll wait and we will work together. But if you wanna do this, then me too." He nodded firmly. "It'll be hard but we can do it and your family is really-oh shit they're gonna kill me." |

Elise let out a puff of laughter, allowing herself to sink further into Oliver's embrace. She reached up to fuss with the fabric of his shirt.
"Yeah, they really are." She teased, though she wasn't actually sure how much of her assurance was joking. "Only Soo Mi knows, she won't tell Kang Dae until we're ready." |
