Sitting on the table in Dr. Wyatt's office, I just stared at all the pictures of pregnant women, babies, and big tummies. The whole bulletin board was covered in pictures. I smiled when I saw a picture of my mother holding Gemma from nine years ago. I was standing in the picture next to them, holding up rabbit ears behind my Gemma.

Dr.Wyatt is one of the few doctors that deal with mine and Niall's situation.

Dr. Wyatt came and sat down on the stool. He smiled at me, and I smiled back, but I felt like I wanted to throw up.

"Well, Harry, we drew all the blood we needed, and I should get the genetic tests back in two weeks. Your urine test came back positive for pregnancy. The next thing I would like to do is a sonogram, so that way we can take a look and maybe see how far along you are. From our earlier conversation and the date of your last monthly cramps, I'm guessing that you're about nine weeks. That would put us at a due date of January thirtieth. "

My head was spinning. Nine weeks! Oh. My. God. I have a little baby in me...growing inside of me. . . holy hell.

"Um, when do you think I'll start showing?" I asked as I pulled at the gown I was wearing.

Dr. Wyatt reached up, taking my hands in his.

"Harry, I know you're scared for a number of reasons. Let's just take this one step at a time, okay? There's nothing we can do about Fragile X until we get the results back. Don't stress yourself out. Now, to answer your question, you'll probably start showing around the first week of October. Keep in mind though that everyone is different though. "

I shook my head. Dr. Wyatt asked me to lie back on the table. He stuck his head out and called for a nurse.

As a nurse joined us, Dr. Wyatt said,

"I need you to relax now, Harry. "

I kept my eyes on the monitor while I started to take deep breaths. Then, I saw it. It looked like a little peanut. I could hear it's heart beating like crazy. My eyes started to tear up, and I looked away.

"Harry, are you okay?" The nurse asked me.

I looked back at her and smiled.

"He should be here. I should have told him," I said while tears poured down my cheeks.

The nurse took a hold of my hand and gave it a little squeeze.

"Honey, there are tons of women who come in here and get the first sonogram alone, and theirs been at least two men who have come in by themselves while I've worked here. You're not always one-hundred percent sure that you're pregnant. Some people like to wait until they know for sure before they tell the fathers. "

I tried to smile at her. When I looked back at my peanut, my smile grew bigger as I saw the little arms moving back and forth.

"The she's waving to you," Dr. Wyatt said with a laugh.

"She?" I asked as I looked at him. There's no way they can tell this early.

"Well, I usually call them all she until we find out for sure. It's an old habit I picked up years ago," He said with a laugh.

After Dr. Wyatt and the nurse left the room, I sat there for a few seconds, looking at the picture I held in my hand of my peanut. I placed my hands on my stomach, I closed my eyes.

"We just need to hold off another month, baby. Once Daddy finds out that the evil witch is not carrying his child, we can tell him about you. There's no fooking way- oh god! Oh. My. God! I just swore at you. Oh, holy shit, I'm gonna make a piss-arse farther. OH! My! GOD! I did it again!"
