Today is my first doctors appointment for my baby. Alex is coming along. Only me and Alex will be in the room. Together. After what happened the other night at the window, me and Alex have been talking every night. All we talk about is the baby, where will the baby stay? Who will the baby live with? What job Alex is going to get to provide for the baby? The last three nights have been filled with baby baby baby. I pull my bag onto my shoulder and head out the door. My mother wanted to come with me but me and Alex wanted to do it on our own. Alania has been super supportive, she apologized for what she said. She was in shock and that's what she would have done. She accepts that it is my choice and I choose the baby. I see Alex come outside. His eyes light up as he sees me and he runs over.
" Ready" He asks. He takes my hand and swings it as we walk to car.
" I guess, what do you think will happen" I ask nervously.
" Hey, don't you dare be nervous. Because if your nervous, the baby is nervous. And if both of you are nervous, I will be a nervous wreck. So no being nervous. Everything will be fine" He says, very seriously I may say. I laugh at his long rant about being nervous. He is the most se- What?
" Okay" I giggle. We climb into my car but he takes the wheel. He claims that if I drive we will crash and he doesn't want us in danger. He knows how nervous I am but he doesn't seem nervous at all. I wonder how is staying so calm...
!!Alex Hayes!!
I am a sweaty, red faced, nervous wreck. I don't know how she is staying so calm. I am not even the pregnant one and I am being such a baby. I try to hide my nervousness but it shows right through. My eyes follow the road and I can hear her breathing heavily beside me. I look over to her and she looks nervous. Like she is about to throw up. Oh god now I'm even more nervous. I reach over and place my hand on her stomach.
" Hi baby" I say. " I don't really know you yet, but I do know that I love you. I do know you will be cute as a button just like your mommy. I do know that you will do great things. I do know you will be talented. You get that from your mom. She sings all of the time. I do know that you will be smart. I do know that you will have two parents, who love and care for you more than the world" Her eyes light up. She smiles at me and giggles. She has the cutest laugh. We pull into the doctors office and I see her face go pale...
~~Brooklyn May~~
My stomach turned when we arrived at the doctors office. Alex took my hand and led me into the doctor's office.
" Hi I'm doctor Sara Smith" She greets. " Just lay down here and I will do the rest" She pulls up my shirt to show my stomach. She rubs the cold gel all over my stomach and then waves a wand over it.
" I'm afraid to tell you I have some bad news. Your baby is dead" And that's when I woke up.
