Sad Beautiful Tragic

chapter III

~ five months later ~

„Taylor? Can I come in?" – she heard him calling for her from outside the bathroom

She spent last ten minutes there, constantly throwing up. She didn't have the strength to stand up so she was just sitting on the floor, her head leaned back on the wall.

She just let out a tiny, really quiet „yes" so Joe opened the door and was at Taylor's side in instant.

„It's okay love. Is it worse than yesterday?" – he asked as his hand started rubbing her back

Taylor nodded.

She's been feeling like that for past two weeks and of course their first thought was that maybe Taylor was pregnant. However, they did multiple tests but they came back negative. Joe was becoming more and more worried about her since neither of them had any idea what else could it be. Taylor on the other side didn't really care, she just wanted it to stop.

„Baby, I think we should go to see a doctor, it doesn't look good to me" – Joe said gently, his hand never leaving her back

She didn't even have enough energy to fight with him so again, she just nodded. He picked her up then went back to their bedroom where he put her down on the bed making sure she was comfortable right before calling her doctor to make an appointment.

„She said she would squeeze you in between appointments so we need to leave in 15 minutes okay?" – he told her when he hang up the phone

„Alright" – she mumbled still not feeling good

„So, what seems to be the problem?" – the doctor asked as both Taylor and Joe took a seat in her office

„I've been throwing up constantly for past two weeks, I don't have any apetite..." – she started saying all her symptoms when the doctor stopped her

„Did you take a pregnancy test?" – she asked

„Yes, I did. It was negative" – Taylor answered

„Hm okay. Everything that you're saying sounds a lot like pregnancy symptoms. Are you okay if I made an appointment with a gynecologist and do a quick ultrasound? She has her office just down the hall, you wouldn't have to go anywhere far away"

She nodded and the doctor made a quick call to inform the other doctor about the situation and she agreed to do an USG right away so Taylor and Joe thanked the doctor and went to the second office.

„Ah, you must be Taylor?" – the tall blonde woman said when she saw the couple entering her office

„Yeah, that's me" – Taylor smiled politely

„Alright, just please lay down here and lift up your shirt a little. Let's see" – she said as she put the gel on Taylor's stomach and started moving the machine

There was a moment of silence before the doctor spoke.

„You said the tests were negative right?"

Taylor nodded.

„Well, then it seems like they weren't correct because you're indeed pregnant Taylor. Congratulations!" – the doctor smiled at the couple

Taylor was frozen, she didn't say a single thing and Joe squeezed her hand.

„B-but how is, how is this possible?" – Taylor finally asked as she stood up from the table

„It happens sometimes, there are different reasons for that"

They left the building both confused and happy at the same time.

„Joe, I can't believe it. We'll have a baby" – she said when she got into the car

„We will my love, I am so happy" – he said and started the car to drive them back home

Even though Taylor was very happy about the news, in the back of her mind there was still that horrifying thought that the situation from the past could happen again. And hell, she's sure she wouldn't bounce back from it this time. She didn't exactly tell Joe about her feelings on that but she knows that he thought about it too. It's inevitable. Taylor is aware of the fact that it just happens sometimes, for no reason but a tiny part of her brain still blames her for this.

When she came down the stairs Joe was standing in the kitchen cooking something and when the smell hit her she had to stop in her tracks and sat on the couch in the living room to stop herself from throwing up. She took the remote and started scrolling through different channels. One tv show looked interesting enough so she just covered herself with the blanket and waited for Joe to finish cooking.

„Babe, do you want some cheese on your pasta?" – she heard him ask

„Nooo, thanks!"

Within a minute he joined her on the couch and handed her a plate with pasta. Unfortunately it still had a smell that made Taylor feel nauseous but she knew she had to eat so she tried.

„How are you feeling love?" – Joe asked as he was finishing his meal

„Okay... I'm happy but, I don't know... I'm scared that it'll happen again.." – she whispered the last part

„It's all gonna be okay baby, I promise you. In a few months you'll be holding our baby in your arms and we'll do our best to give them a happy life" – he leaned and kissed her head before going back to the kitchen to clean the plates

„Do you think we should tell our families?" – she asked

„If you're okay with that then sure, but only if that's what you really want"

„Let's call them tonight then" – she smiled and he smiled right back

„Deal" – he kissed her gently on the lips

„I love you so much Taylor, you have no idea"

Right in that moment Taylor got that inside feeling that everything was going to be okay. That it's a new beginning and nothing bad is gonna happen to them or the baby. They'll have their little family that they've dreamt of for so long. She knew that it'll be okay.

„I love you Joe, so much"

They spent the rest of the day pretty much on the couch in the living room just cuddling, watching movies, talking about everything and nothing. They were just living in the moment.

They were in the middle of the movie when he felt Taylor lean more and more into him and noticed how her chest moved up and down in rhythmic pattern and he knew she fell asleep. He decided to let her sleep like that for a while and started gently stroking her head also kissing it once in a while. Not long later he fell asleep himself with his head on Taylor's.

He woke up due to Taylor's movements.

„Baby? You okay?" – he sleepily asked

„Yeah, can we go to bed? It's not comfy here" – she replied with a yawn

„Yhm"

He slowly stood up rubbing his eyes to clear his vision and hand in hand with Taylor they went to the bedroom.

Once they were both under the covers they snuggled as close to each other as possible.

„Goodnight" – she whispered

„Goodnight baby"

And they both drifted off to sleep.
