Saving them

10

I was currently in Asher's room getting ready when I suddenly felt like I was going to be sick.

I rushed to the bathroom emptying the contents of my breakfast into the toilet. I felt my hair being pulled back and a hand rubbing my back.

I knew it was Asher by the smell of his cologne. When I was finally done I flushed the toilet and sat on the floor with my back against his chest.

"You okay?" He asked while rubbing my stomach. All I could do was nod.

"We need to get ready to go." I tell him. He nodded and helped me up before walking me over to the sink and handing my toothbrush and paste. "Thank you."

He kissed my head and left the bathroom.

Austin's sister ushered us in a room as soon as we arrived. Asher look uneasy about being here. When we stepped into the room he started looking around at everything looking really worried.

"You okay there Ash?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"I don't know I've never been in one of these rooms are they gonna do anything that will hurt or-" He said sounding stressed. I giggled and grabbed his hand making him calm down a little bit.

"They are just going to do an ultrasound and take some blood to check on everything if something is wrong they'll tell us okay? Here give me your other hand." I asked holding mine out to take his.

He held his hand out and I placed it on top of my stomach and lightly pressed he hand down. "Feel that? That's the baby sitting there listening to everything your talking about not to mention feeling everything your feeling right now. Even if your not the father he or she loves when you talk or are close by. I know because I feel it. Literally."

He looks at me before looking at my belly. I moved his hand over just below my ribs. "Say something to them." I whisper to him.

He looked more nervous then ever but did what I said. "Um hello in there how- woah." He said after feeling a kick on his hand. "That's what you feel whenever I'm around or close to you?" He asked. He's felt them kick before but this was different.

"Asher I know I dropped a giant bomb on you coming here like this and if your not ready for this role I'd understand but you are already their dad they are responding to you like they would a dad, they know your gonna protect them and that's why they kick and punch." I told him while looking into his eyes.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't want this. I lost you once I'm not losing you again. Not if I can help it." He replied and kissed my head.
