Love like never before

Chapter 47: Seiya pov

Over the last few weeks, Ruby and me have been researching how to do invitro. The one we liked the most was Reciprocal IVF. Which would allow for both of us to participate in the pregnancy by implanting eggs into another woman to carry through pregnancy. Which in this case will be me.

We already done all the test and precautions for it and today was the procedure.

We were laying side by side on two surgical beds. Ruby was holding my hand as she stared at me with loving eyes and a soft smile on her face.

"It's going to be ok. I promise." She reassured me, squeezing my hand.

"I know. I just hate needles." I mumbled.

"Just look at me. It'll be over soon." Ruby said and I nodded.

The doctor had already explained what all they were going to do and were about to start.

The doctor told us both to relax. I continued staring at Ruby and a second later I felt a pinprick In my arm and I flinched. My vision began to blur and next thing I knew everything went black.

*********************************
I woke up a while later to hear the doctor speaking to us.

"Hello ladies, welcome back. The procedure went just perfectly. Now you may feel a little soreness but that'll clear up within a day or so. You should see some results in over two weeks." He explained.

After that they allows us to get dressed. On the way home we stopped at a restaurant to eat because neither of us felt like cooking.

When sat down at the table Ruby held her hand out to me and I placed my hand in hers. She placed my fingers to her lips and kissed them, bringing a blush as I smiled. Been  over three years now and still not used to all the ways that she makes me feel.

"Thank you." She said with my hand still in hers, her thumb rubbing across my skin softly.

"For what?" I asked confused.

"For all this over the last few weeks. I know you are mostly doing it for me and I appreciate it more than you know love"

"You don't have to thank me Ruby. I would do anything for you. Whatever makes you happy." I tell her smiling and she smiled back.

"I think we should wait to tell anyone anything. You know just in case it doesn't work out." Ruby replied her brows furrowing in concern as a waitress came and took our order.

"Do you think it worked?" I ask after the waitress left.

"I don't know. I really hope so." She replied taking a sip of water.

"Me too."

2 weeks later

Today was the day we would be taking a pregnancy test to find out if I was pregnant or not.

I had already peed on two different test strips just in case , and was sitting on the edge of the bed with Ruby holding my hand.

We were both silent as we waited on the results. I had the feeling she was just as nervous as I was ,though hers held some excitement.

"Remember we can try other ways if this doesn't work." Ruby said gently and I nodded in agreement .

A minute later the timer on my phone went off and I jumped slightly. Time was up.

We looked at each other and Ruby kissed my cheek before pulling me to my feet and we both walked into the bathroom together. I picked up the pregnancy test and stared at the two different test. The first was colored blue which meant negative and the other had a minus sign which also meant negative.

"What do they say?" Ruby asked anxiously and tried to look over my shoulder. I silently turned towards her and showed her the tests.

She was silent as she stared at them and I watched as different emotions flitted across her beautiful face and none of them happy.

Because of the disappointment I saw in her face I was overcome with sadness and tears started to come from out of my eyes. I felt like I had let her down. If not for myself ,I wanted this for her.

"I'm sorry." I whispered as more tears leaked out and Ruby looked up,alarmed at the tears running down my cheeks.

Ruby pulled me to her and rubbed her hand up my back soothingly. "Hey it's alright. We can try something else okay. Don't worry."

I nodded not able to speak because I felt the powerful urge to sob as more tears came out. I had not idea why I was so emotional right now.

For the rest of the day Ruby stayed by my side as we just laid in bed relaxing , trying to make me feel better but it only made me feel worse.
