Beautiful Mistakes [Brollins]

Chapter 26

Once the duo was done smiling and joking around in the kitchen, they decided to sit down with the girls to tell them about Rebecca moving in with him. Mercedes, surprisingly, was the first one to agree. They were going to miss her, of course, but they all three knew she needed to be with Colby.

After getting all of that settled, Colby headed to the bathroom to take a shower, and once he was done, he found his way to the bed next to Rebecca, who was sleeping away peacefully in one of his t-shirts. He didn't want to disturb her, because he knew she was tired, so he pressed a gentle kiss to her head and turned over to go to sleep.

Rebecca's alarm went off the next morning, and she groaned as she turned over to turn it off. It woke up Colby as well, but instead of groaning, he turned over towards her with a smile on his face. Rebecca sighed as he ran a hand down her arm. "Good morning, beautiful." Colby said sleepily.

Rebecca nuzzled closer to him. "Good morning."

Colby smiled down at her before kissing her forehead. "Did you dream last night?"

Rebecca let out a raspy laugh. "Are we starting this again?"

Colby shrugged. "I never ended it. I just forgot to ask the last few times." He then brushed some hair out of her face. "So...did you dream?" When Rebecca nodded Colby continued. "What did you dream about?"

Rebecca laughed again and smiled at him. "It's pretty funny actually. I dreamed that you took me and our five children out to dinner, and we ordered baby shaped chicken nuggets for them, and me and you had a baby shaped stake. After that we went to this hotel, which I'm pretty sure is where we lived, and I played Barbie's with our daughters, and you played with action figures with our sons. We had a pet goat living with us too. Then I woke up."

Rebecca laughed at a stunned Colby. "Told you, it's funny."

Colby shook his head then scoffed. "Five?! Baby shaped food? A goat? And we live in a hotel?! And here we thought one was bad..." He then nuzzled his face into her neck. "I don't think that was a dream, I think it was a nightmare."

Rebecca laughed as she squirmed. "What about you? What did you dream about?"

Colby shot his head back and looked at her. "Girl, you don't want to know."

Rebecca laughed even more as she watched his face go from scared to disgusted. "Was it that bad?"

Colby nodded and rolled over on top of her, kissing her deeply. "No it wasn't bad, it was embarrassing." He then connected their lips again, smiling against her mouth. "But I'm pretty sure you're about to help me forget about it..."

. . . . . .

When the clock hit twelve, the duo left to go to the appointment. They held hands the whole way there, and Colby hated the fact he could feel how nervous she was. He tried to distract her with his jokes, but it making him just as nervous as she was.

Once they got there though, they checked in and sat down in the waiting area impatiently. Thankfully, they didn't have to wait that long, and the doctor took them back to a room. They waited for at least ten minutes before she came back. She took Rebecca's bloodwork and made them sign some paperwork, and once they got that done, she started prepping the machines. "To get this started, I'm gonna place this gel on your abdomen and start rubbing it around, and on this big screen, we get to look and see a baby."

Rebecca nodded from the laid back chair and looked up at Colby—who was holding her hand. "So she is pregnant? It came back positive on the bloodwork?"

The doctor smiled. "Yes, she is expecting. Everything came back really good, her and the baby are both healthy".

Colby nodded and watched as the doctor applied the gel then rub the probe over her abdomen. The next thing they knew, the room was filled with awe. The doctor smiled and pointed towards what was growing into the baby's feet. "I know it's hard to tell, but there's it's feet." She then moved over to its head. "And here's its head."

Rebecca's gasp turned into a big smile as she watched. She felt Colby's hand squeeze hers, and when she looked up at him she saw a confident grin spread across his face. "Can we listen to the heartbeat?"

The doctor nodded. "Of course!" She turned around and turned on the heart monitor, and the silent room was filled with slow heartbeats.

Colby smiled and ran his thumb over Rebecca's hand. She looked up towards him and the two just stared into each others eyes as they listened to their child's heartbeat. "It's normal for it to be slow." The doctor said bringing their attention back to her. "It will increase the more the baby grows. You're only 10 weeks right now, so it's a small heartbeat. It also normal for its features to not show that good. Like I said, that could be it's feet and head just because of other ultrasounds I've done, but I could be wrong."

Rebecca nodded and watched the screen one more time before the doctor rubbed the gel off. "Alright, you all are done." She then stood up walked over to another machine to print the pictures, while Colby helped Rebecca to her feet. "Here you go! I'll see you two in another month."

Rebecca smiled and followed the doctor out of the room, then her and Colby went to their car. Once they sat down, Colby locked the doors and they immediately looked at the pictures with huge smiles on their faces. "Dude, we made that!" Colby said with a chuckle. Rebecca smiled excitedly and Colby wrapped his arms around her, resting his forehead on hers.
