Breaking The Rules (sequel to Rule #6)

Chapter 42

Hero's POV

It's been 6 months since we found out we were going to be parents. Jo has spent the last few trimesters in utter agony she was absolutely bloody miserable the entire time. I know pregnancy is different for everyone but my poor girl had the worst morning sickness or should I say all day sickness I've ever seen or heard of. She suffered from what the doctors called hyperemesis which is just the medical term for excessive vomiting. She couldn't even take a sip of water without throwing up like the exorcist. So she's been in and out of the hospital the entire time. We've also had visiting nurses since Jo had to be hooked up to IV fluids the entire time to get the nutrients her and the baby needed since she couldn't hold and food or liquids down. She became really close with a young nurse we had named Shelly who encouraged her to keep on chasing her dream of being a nurse. Mercy has been picking up all her assignments but since she's been missing her labs she's falling behind in school. I feel so fucking useless and I just hope the check up at the doctor's appointment today gives us a little hope that things will be getting better.

"Let's go Hero or we'll be late" Jo says to me as I nod at her in acknowledgement bending down to finish tying the laces on my white air forces. "Ready love" I tell her placing my hands around her waist my fingers grazing the small bump she now has finally showing through her white flowy top with her gorgeous face smiling up at me. She actually loss weight since she was so sick but the bump is finally there and we can feel our little one kick and move around. I am in absolute awe every single time I feel our child move inside of Jo's stomach. I adore my wife so much through all of this crazy shit she has remained positive and keeps a smile on her face even when she was puking like the exorcist all over the halls of Berkeley after she had chugged a bottle of Gatorade from being dehydrated all day at school. That was the last day she went in person though.  "Ready" Jo answers me placing a tender kiss on my lips. "How are you feeling today love" I ask her as we walk into the kitchen where Mercy and Felix are eating breakfast at the kitchen table.

"Morning guys" Mercy yells out as soon as she sees us. "So much better babe" Jo answers me as she runs towards the table I chuckle as I see her grab a piece of Mercy's bacon out of her plate as she shoves it in her mouth moaning with a look of pure bliss on her face. My cock instantly goes hard at the sweet sounds falling from her lips my sister laughing luckily does the trick and snaps me out of it as I shake myself off. It's been awhile for me and Jo she's been too sick and too weak to do much of anything but kiss me, but that doesn't matter to me as long as she's around me I'm happy. I'm not saying I don't want too I'm still a man after all I do miss making love to my beautiful wife I just want her and the baby to be healthy first.

"Your lucky your finally able to eat otherwise I'd be mad about my bacon" Mercy says to Jo her smile clearly not showing any hint of anger. We're just all bloody happy she's been eating and drinking the last few days. "The baby wants grease right now" Jo says laughing as she snatches another piece this time off of Felix's plate. "Hey now watch it little miss" Felix says playfully swatting at Jo's hand as she grabbed his last piece making us all laugh. "Call me as soon as you know anything ok love you" Mercy says to Jo as she gives her a hug and kiss on the cheek. "I will. Love you too" Jo says to her as I take her hand and we head out the door.

"Mr and Mrs. Fiennes Tiffin it's so good to see you again" Dr. Wilson says to us as we sit inside the room Jo is sitting on the table already dressed in a gown. "Dr. Wilson I've told you call me Jo it's not like you can forget my name" Jo says as she smiles at our doctor the petite blonde laughs as they both recall how they share the same name. We got lucky with Dr. Jo Wilson she's brilliant and has been a real inspiration to Jo as well. She told Jo and I about how she grew up in foster care after being left at a fire station when she was an infant and how much pain and suffering she had to endure and look what she made of her life now. She was a successful OBGYN and a wonderful mother to her daughter she adopted named Luna. She did it all and she's helped Jo and I realize with how much love and support we have from our families that there is no excuse we can't do the same. We can make our dreams come true or our dreams can change. I don't have the same desire about playing football that I did before. Since being in and out of the hospital I've gotten to know people here and they have all inspired me. I know it's a risky job but I want to help people like the people around us have helped me. Plus I can get a job a lot faster. I've decided to become a paramedic. Me and Jo are both going into the medical field and she couldn't be more happier for me.

I break out of my thoughts as Dr. Wilson places warm jelly on Jo's stomach grabbing the inducer wand and running it across her abdomen. I watch the monitor in front of me as I hold Jo's hand in mine our finger intertwined as she smiles watching the screen as well. "Do you want to know the sex?" Dr. Wilson asks us as she takes more measurements of the baby printing out pictures for us to take home as she goes. "Do we?" I ask Jo silently pleading with her to say yes. I think she can read me all to well as she smirks up at me squeezing my hand and says "of course we want to know."

"Are you doing a big reveal or do you want me to just tell you now?" Dr. Jo asks making me suddenly wonder. Does Jo want a big surprise reveal? I don't want to deprive her of her first motherhood experience finding out whether it's a boy or girl is a big thing.  "Just tell us we don't need to waste money on anything fancy just knowing will be the best thing ever" Jo answers her puting me out of my misery. "Ok then mommy and daddy It's A" "Wait stop" Jo yells suddenly cutting her off.
