"Princess I'm home! where are you?!"

"kitchen!" I followed the sound of zach's voice and found his right where he said he was. in the kitchen making a comically large sandwich. i kissed the side of his head before walking around the island to sit across from him.

"plan to share?" i asked in a bit of amusement. he scoffed,

"no" i shook my head. that was the answer i was expecting.

"are you actually gonna eat that whole thing?" wrong question.

"are you calling me fat?!" his voice got shrill and my eyes widened,

"what no, it's just that that's a huge sandwich and-"

"so you are calling me fat! i'm eating for two, jack and it's your fault! don-"

"hey, i understand you have pregnancy hormones or whatever but, it takes two to make a baby, so this is not all my fault!" i interrupted, my voice amplified with irritation.

"fuck you!" he seethed, throwing the contents of his sandwich up and storming from the room. i sighed heavy, resisting the urge to bang my head against the counter.

having a pregnant boyfriend is so fucking hard! but it's probably harder for him, and he's right, it's my fault he's pregnant... well partially.

i picked up his mess and chucked it before taking out the peanut butter and jelly, making him a sandwich.

if there was one thing i had learned, zach loved my peanut butter sandwiches and i put so much peanut butter it got him to shut up for awhile.

i climbed up the stairs to the attic quickly, entering my room i saw him sat in my bed, head bent.

"hey, i made you a sandwich if you're still hungry" i said quietly, sitting down next to him. he shook his head,

"i'm not"

"i'm sorry for earlier. you know i can be an idiot
sometimes" i sighed, he shook his head.

"maybe, but you're a hot one" he said. his voice soft and sensual.

"is that so?" i asked, i knew what he was trying to do, he was in the mood. but he had his first doctors appointment today and we couldn't miss it.

his lips kissed the cloth of my shirt on my shoulder
but i didn't acknowledge him, instead i placed the sandwich i made aside and stood up.

he stood too, "what's wrong? he asked.

"nothing"

"no, it's something? so what?"

"i promise, peach. everything is fine" i replied in the most reassuring tone i could. his face morphed and he stepped away from me, arms crossing.

"oh i get. it's because i'm pregnant, you're not attracted to me anymore"

"what? baby, no. no that's not-"

"it's okay" his voice wobbled. "i-i get it i'm all used up now. i-i mean i'm gon-i'm gonna get fat an-"

"hey" i cut him off, "you know you're gorgeous. i love you so much, baby" i pulled him to my chest, henley put a deep sigh, his small tense body relaxing slightly against mine.

"baby, you're so tense, how about a massage after the check up?" he nodded, kissing my chest. i smiled, kissing his forehead before we pulled away.

"i love you" i said, brushing his hair from his face, it was getting long.

"i love you too"

"now let's go," I grabbed the car keys on the way out the door and we both got into the car.

it was zachs first ultrasound and both of us had to be nervous as hell.

i know that neither of us expected any of this. we met only four months ago and now we were gonna have a kid.

wild.

the doctor was only a few minutes from my house so the ride was relatively quick.

Zach of course got nervous jitters on the way inside.

the doctor was a very nice lady, and the cold gel on my baby's stomach made him suck in a breath.

"from what i can tell of the amniotic sac and fluid, give or take a couple of days. you're almost four weeks pregnant, which puts the conceiving towards the end of march. but from the size of the fetus it looks only a couple of weeks." the doctor said.

"what does that mean?" zach asked.

"is that bad?" i wondered aloud. zach squeezed my hand tight,

"no, but i'd say from
now there's a good chance your baby will be born premature, but it's still too early to be sure"

"so you're saying-"

"i'm saying not to worry, your increased levels of testosterone and the fact that you are a male with a uterus could also have an impact on how fast the baby grows or even how long or short the pregnancy is"

"o-okay, so there's nothing to worry about?"

"no, you're baby is healthy and growing just fine"

"okay. that's so good to hear"  

"very, now is it better now to schedule your next appointment or would you like to wait and do it over the phone"

"umm... jack, you made this appointment what do
you think?" i run a had through his slightly sweat damp hair and smile,

"we can do it over the phone, i will call up here tomorrow to schedule the next one" 

"okay sounds good, you guys are good to go whenever you're ready, i will see you in a few weeks" the lady said as she left.

"that was scary" zach said one the doctor shut the door

"i'm sorry, princess"

"jacky?" the small boy's voice broke.

"yes, baby"

"there's a baby in my tummy" he said.

"yes there is hunny. and i bet it'll have your eyes and your cute little nose. hopefully your beautiful smile" i said, bending over to be closer to his growing belly.

"it can't look only like me" zach giggled.

"well why not, then it'll have all the good features"

"no, i want it to have your smile. it's my favorite thing in the whole wide world, and have two would be like heaven in earth." zach replied and I cooed, kissing the boys forehead.

"i love you"

"i love you more" he hums.

getting back home, i carried zach into the house cause he was half asleep. i didn't want to carry him all the way to the attic so i set him in a guest bedroom under the covers. he woke slightly, grabbing a hold of me.

"it's alright peach, i gotta go meet my sisters at the airport, they're coming back from boarding school for the summer. call me if you need anything?" i said. he hummed in reply, eyes shutting sleepily and i could only smile at him.

absolutely adorable.

i didn't have to get the girls from the airport for a few more hours, but i
figured if i told zach that i was red to talk to his best friend, he wouldn't feel as inclined to fall back
to sleep so quickly and soundly.
