A Big Surprise [☁️]

🚩This story includes the farmer (you) as pregnant, so for the farmer to not have a specified gender, mpreg is canon in this story, if that applies to you. Thanks! 🚩

Today marked three months. That was crazy to think about. You were 3 months pregnant with Harvey's baby. You were so excited yet so nervous. Today was the day you were going to tell him.

It had been nearly impossible to keep this a secret from your husband and best friend, but you didn't want to tell him until you knew the pregnancy was sound. Harvey is such an excellent doctor, but pregnancies are a fickle thing and you knew he would blame himself if something went wrong (as something often does) in the first trimester. You couldn't risk the mental anguish it would put him through if you miscarried or if something went wrong on his watch. He cared about you more than anything, and you knew that he would instantly extend that love to the baby.

It had been a long three months trying to keep things under wraps. Luckily, your morning sickness only lasted about a week in the first month, so you passed it off as a bug. Harvey kept trying to bring you in for an exam, but you held him off until he was sure you were better. Part of you (a large part of you at that) thought that he had probably figured it out but didn't know how to ask if you were pregnant. After all, you were showing a lot of symptoms. Your stomach had started to grow much sooner and bigger than you thought it would, so he definitely noticed that you were suddenly wearing baggy clothes and that you kept his hand off of your stomach when the two of you were cuddling or doing other things together.

You were sitting at your kitchen table, trying to figure out how to tell him the big news. It was impossible to believe you still hadn't come up with a good idea, after all, you had given yourself three months to prepare. You had been so focused on making sure you didn't tell Harvey about it, that you hadn't had much time to think about anything else.

Maybe I could wait another day or two until I can plan a better way to do this? That wouldn't work. You wanted, no, needed, to tell him today. The pain of not telling him weighed on you. Plus, your ever-growing stomach was starting to obviously show through your baggy shirt.

You had a small sonogram photo in your nightstand drawer that you could show him. You could make dinner, and just sit him down on the couch and tell him after. Show him the ultrasound. Let him take all of this in. Since it was just the two of you for this, and Harvey didn't like big todos, it would probably be best to tell him, short and sweet.

You got up and started to make dinner (angel hair pasta, a favorite of your husband's) when you suddenly realized that you weren't sure how he would react. He wanted a baby, of course, but you had to admit that you had gotten pregnant a little sooner than planned. He would obviously be surprised, but what would come next? You never considered that he might be upset that you waited to tell him. You doubted it, but your brain was instantly running the worst-case scenario.

You had just finished stirring in the pesto and garlic when you heard the door open behind you. Turning around, you saw Harvey close the door behind him, looking tired as always after a long day at the clinic. Plus, it was the 23rd, which was his monthly standing appointment with George, his most stubborn patient.

He set his briefcase down on the kitchen table and quietly came over to see what you were making. He leaned his head down to rest on your shoulder and wrapped his arms around your waist, letting his hands hold your stomach. Instantly panic set in, a force of habit from having to hide your growing belly for so long. "Harvey!" You moved quickly away so that he couldn't touch your stomach. His eyes grew wide as he began to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, (Y/N)!" This is exactly what happened every time. "Are you okay?" He shook his head and looked down defeatedly.

"Yeah." You looked up at him and smiled. "Of course I'm okay!" You laughed, trying to play off the awkwardness.
