Remember When...? (2)

Two weeks later, I'm doing the exact same thing. Except this time it's in the morning. Brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth with mouthwash. Ben is very concerned but I keep trying to convince him that I'm okay. Now he's suggesting I go see a doctor.

His season is starting in eleven days and he wants to nip whatever this is in the bud. I don't blame him because I'm tired of feeling this way. Like shit. So I asked Jasmine to come over with some things.

Ben was currently laying in our bed playing with Liam while I was on my way downstairs to open the door for Jasmine. We embrace one another before walking back upstairs.

"Hi Ben." She greets.

"What's up?" He gives her a head nod.

I bring her into the bathroom with me.

"Did you get it?" I ask.

"Yes I did." She said, handing the bag to me.

"Alright." I say, then start pushing her out of the bathroom. She laughs as I do so.

I take in a deep breath before going through the process. I then set a timer and wait, pacing back and forth in the bathroom.

When the timer goes off, I turn it off and pick up the stick. I brace myself for the results, only to feel my stomach drop to my ass when I see pregnant on the little screen.

My vision begins to blur and I sniffle, wiping at my eyes. I'm feeling a mixture of emotions at the moment, so I really don't know how to feel. I sit on the closed toilet seat, sniffling as I rock back and forth. I lift my shirt up and place my right hand on my stomach.

I take a few minutes to get myself together before opening the bathroom door. Ben looks at me and furrows his brows.

"Were you crying?" He asked.

Jasmine grinned because she knew why I was crying. I chuckle at the look on her face and look back at Ben. I crawl onto the bed and place the test into his hand. It takes him a second to process but when he does, he raises his brows at me.

"Is this real?" He asks.

"Yes." I nod.

"We're having another baby?"

I laugh, wiping at some tears. "Yes Ben."

"Holy shit." He breathed, laying back and looking up at the ceiling.

I sniffle again and he looks at me.

"Babe?"

"What?" I say.

He pulls me toward him but Liam is in the way. So I put Liam on my hip and lay down into him. He kisses the top of my head, rubbing my shoulder.

"This seems like an important moment, so I'm just gonna take the baby and leave you two to it." Jasmine said, taking Liam from me.

"Thanks Jas." I say as she leaves the room.

She closes the door behind her and I look up at Ben.

"Is this what it was like when you found out you were pregnant with Liam?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say, drawing along his chest with my finger.

He looks down at me and I give a small smile. He leaves a kiss on my forehead, then another one on my lips. He presses his lips to my forehead and I relax in his arms.
