Jack and Rose: After Titanic

Chapter 13

*Time skip by two months*

Rose's Pov:

"Shit, shit, shit," I curse as I run around the apartment while scrambling to find my purse. I just got back from work today and I realized I'm late.

I run into the bathroom with my purse and take out my little journal. I write down all the dates I get my period and I'm late. A whole week late.

"Oh no please don't let this be happening."

Jack won't be home for a few hours, so I quickly put myself together and walk down the block to the little clinic. I walk in and I feel the nerves kick in. I knew there were signs, I was throwing up last week and now my period.

I am led into a little room and I sit on the bed waiting for the doctor to come. She does a few tests for me and I can feel myself about to just burst with nervousness. I tell her what happened and how I think I am pregnant.

I didn't think a few minutes would take this long. I took a pregnancy test in addition to my other tests and I saw the doctor re-enter the room, so I lifted my head up.

"Congratulations, you are pregnant," I immediately felt my stomach drop. How, I don't know if we are going to be able to do this.

"Rose, I know you are nervous honey, but remember a baby is always a blessing. Many young couples feel just like you do." I nod my head and smile. A baby in my stomach. A part of me and a part of Jack.

The doctor and I discussed some details about the pregnancy and what I can expect from the first trimester.

"Rose, you are a little over a month along, and you still are in the high risk part. You need to very careful, and I would suggest keeping calm till you are past the miscarraige period." I nod my head. My mom had two miscarriages before me and was unable to have any kids after me, so I know that my pregnancy will be high risk.

"Your body is a little weak due to everything that happened on the Titanic, so be very careful. I want frequent appointments and I will give the contact of a nearby gynecologist I know who will help you out as well." I nod my head and take the papers she gave me. I book my next appointment in about 3 weeks and I ask the doctor to take a few pictures of me holding my stomach to show Jack later.

I don't have much of a bump yet, but I want to see it get bigger. I feel my nerves start to disappear as I walk home from the appointment. I know Jack and I didn't want kids until later, but I know we are in a better financial position than before, and I really think he'll be happy to be a dad.  

Thank you for reading! Sorry for the short chapter but I will try to update this weekend. I will be trying to update at least once maybe twice every week, I do have 1 semester left of school so I have a ton of tests which I have to focus on. Stay with me though, I will still continue to write. Let me know what you think of my writing so far, and check out my other stories if you would like as well.
