Between the speed she was driving and what her mind was going through, Lindsey was not in a good mood. And yet, she still had to go to work. How could she go to work with the news she just found out about? Especially when Enzo would be there? She loved him and all, but she didn't want to have to tell him what she found out just yesterday at the doctors. It was no wonder she's been feeling unusually nauseous lately. She skidded into her usual parking space, and took an extra couple of minutes to gather herself before she finally got out and entered the mall towards Bloomingdales to clock in. She got about half way there, when she realized she couldn't go in today. Especially knowing she would be working with her boyfriend, Enzo today and with the news she had to tell him soon. She wasn't ready. Not now anyway. She stepped aside from the busy mall and sat down at the fountain to give Enzo a quick text. Hey. Can you tell our boss that I gotta call in sick today? Not feeling well again... She knew she was lying, and she also knew this was the second time she skipped out on work. Especially when she could really use the money for rent. Part of the lie was true though. Her stomach started doing flips again, and immediately, Lindsey wrapped her arms around her stomach and leaned forward into her knees, rocking herself gently, trying to clear the nausea up a bit.

Enzo looked at the text with worry. Are you alright? He texted Lindsey back. He was at home for now, but he was planning to stop in at work today anyway to pick up his paycheck (that had been sitting waiting for him all weekend. It's so un-Enzo of you, Ame had told him). Maybe he'd stop by Lindsey's apartment on his way back home...

As Lindsey was bent over with her arms wrapped around her stomach, she suddenly felt her phone vibrate next to her and she grabbed it to see her boyfriend's response. She quickly typed up a response, Yeah...just not feeling well again. I'll be fine though. No worries. and set her phone next to her again, bending her head in between her knees again feeling nauseousness hit her stomach once again. She groaned. "Why does this have to happen to me....? And why now of all times?"

Enzo frowned and got into Bloomingdale's and immediately went to find their boss, letting him know Lindsey was sick before trying to find her. Where are you? He asked her, not worried about his paycheck for now.

Another short moment to herself, Lindsey felt her phone vibrate next to her again. "Gah! Can't I have a moment to myself?" she groaned in frustration, picking up her phone to see it was just from her boyfriend again. She sighed, and texted him back quickly. By the fountain across from the food court. she tossed her phone in her bag then rather than next to her. All she wanted was some peace and quiet. The thing was though...she didn't exactly feel like driving all the way back home just yet....

Enzo went to her, sitting down next to her with a look of worry on his face. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked her softly as he cautiously rubbed her back.

Lindsey nearly jumped, not expecting Enzo to be here so quickly. "Oh. Um..just, just not feeling well today. I thought I would be fine, but....I don't know, I keep getting these stomach pains." she explained to him, finally leaning up partly only to lean more on him now, with her arms still wrapped around her stomach.

Enzo frowned as he saw the state she was in. "And you haven't gone to the doctor's yet?" He asked her worriedly. He was still rubbing her back, really worried for her. "Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Food poisoning?" He suggested, worried for his girlfriend.

Lindsey shook her head. "I mean, I didn't go to the doctor, but I did do this test, and I think I know what's wrong...." she mumbled to him, her head still resting in between her thighs. "I just...I don't know how to tell you exactly but...Enzo...." she finally managed to raise her head up to face him before saying while on the verge of tears, "I'm pregnant."

Enzo paused everything he was doing, practically feeling his face pale. He wasn't even done taking care of his siblings and now he was going to be a father? He couldn't believe it. He'd heard her right, didn't he? He took a few minutes to compose himself, letting out a deep breath before speaking again, "Regardless, you should go to a doctor to make sure everything's okay, right? Come on, I can take you." He offered.

Lindsey couldn't look at Enzo any longer and immediately ducked her face back down again until he spoke again. She nodded slowly, with a small sniff. "Y-yeah. I guess I should." she muttered softly, grabbing Enzo's hand to help herself up. On the way back to the car it didn't even feel like she could hold herself up, she had to lean on Enzo the entire way it felt like. Just before they arrived to his car then, Lindsey had the nerve to perk her head back up to him and whisper, "Thank you, Enzo. I love you." as a small smile slowly appeared on her face again.

Enzo nodded, feeling like this whole thing was awkward as he helped her to his car. When Lindsey finally spoke, he just smiled at her wearily. "I love you too, Lindsey. I'm sorry... It's just... a shock." He told her, knowing he was acting a bit strange. He had her leaned on his chest as he opened the passenger door for her. "If you need me to pull over, just say so, okay?"

"I know..." Lindsey sighed. "It was a huge shock for me too. Which is probably another reason for me feeling so sick..." she mumbled, carefully sliding into his car, barely able to buckle herself in even. She smiled up at him at his last reply. "Alright. Thank you again, Enzo. I know this is all going too fast." she waited till he reached the drivers side before adding in, "I'm sorry for bringing all this on you so suddenly. I feel bad."

Enzo gave her a weak smile, "You had to tell me somehow, right?" He told her simply, starting up the car. He bit his lip as he drove out. "I think the main thing to do right now is get you to the doctors, calm down, and... talk through this..." He tried to ration. He'd have to remember to text Ame or Perrin to tell them he'd probably be home late tonight.

"Yeah...I know.." she sighed again, looking out the window as he continued to speak. She nodded in agreement, glancing over to him with a small smile and returned her gaze out the window. Just after they pulled out of the parking lot thought, Lindsey felt another shock of pain run through her stomach, causing her to wince and wrap her arm around her stomach in pain. "Ahh..." she groaned, lowering her head down slightly, with her eyes tightly shut. "It hurts..."
