Saving Stella - A Stellaride story

Family (12)

Stellas POV

Its been 2 weeks since we found out I was pregnant, I have my first OB appointment today to confirm exactly how far I am, and also to see if I can get a paternity test done on the baby, Kelly already agreed to do it even though he said he honestly didn't care if the baby was his or not. his words exactly were "If the firehouse taught me anything it was that family isn't about blood, it's who shows up, and Im gonna show up for this baby" and for the 1 millionth time today Im crying just remembering the sweet moment.

I have been so emotional lately and even last night I cried for 2 hours straight because my favourite donut shop was shut and I was craving salted caramel filled donuts at 3am last night. which you can understand right! I was devastated. 

"Babe come on, the appointment is in 15 minutes" I heard from Kelly as I finished braiding my hair 

"Im coming, keep your hair on" I shout as I walk out the bedroom and over to kelly who is waiting at the door with his keys

"finally!, you women take so long to get ready" he jokingly said and I turned to him with a stern look, "if you want to keep your manhood I suggest you shut up" He immediately holds in between his legs to protect himself and keeps quiet "when do the horny hormones kick in, I dont like this nasty ones" He joking says as I stop and give him another dirty look "shit sorry, Ill be quiet" he quickly says as he opens the car door for me and we head to Med

...

Dr Asher shouted us through to our room and she placed some files on our desk

"Okay, lets take a look at baby, Dr Manning estimated around 3 weeks when she saw you is that correct" I nod as I lie down on the bed and lift my top up

Dr asher takes the gel and places it on my stomach as she then moves the wand around and turns the screen to us so we can see it "oh and theres baby...everything is looking healthy" she takes a few measurements and writes down a few things "okay so the measurements put baby at 5 weeks 4 days so your just a little over a month. I hear you are after a Paternity test is that correct" she says as she looks at me and then Kelly 

"erm yeah, can we do that today" I ask as nods. 

"yeah that shouldn't be a problem, do you know how we do this" she says as she grabs some tools and I shake my head "okay so the way this works is we will need to take a sample from the amniotic fluid surrounding baby, this will provide us with some DNA and we can match that to a sample from the potential father, this does mean we will be inserting a needle into your stomach will that be okay" she says as she looks at me and I nod. 

"okay Ill go get everything I need and ill be right back" she says as she leaves and I look at kelly. 

"you dont have to do this you know, I really dont care if Im biologically the father. I don't want to put you through any more discomfort just for my sake." kelly says as i take his hand 

"I know you dont mind, but I do, I need to know if im carrying the child of a man that tortured and tried to kill me." kelly nods at me and takes a hold of my hand as I see him looking at the screen and I do the same

"what do you reckon they will be?" Kelly asks as he strokes my hand and I shrug "Id love a little girl, and she will be a mini me" I say as I keep staring at the small image on the screen "what do you think" I ask as I look at kelly "Id love a mini you running round, she will have me wrapped around her little finger, but Id also love a little boy, and I'll be the father to a son the right way, not the way Benny was with me." He says as I see his eyes get watery but he wipes his eyes quickly, clearly not wanting to show me he was upset.

just then Asher came back in with the tools and sample bottles. "right shall we do this then" me and kelly nod as another doctor follows her in and takes over the scan "were just gonna use the scan to keep an eye on baby to make sure we dont accidentally touch baby and so we can see where we need to go" she says as she places the needle at my lower abdomen and slowly pushes it through my skin and I close my eyes as Kelly kisses my hand

soon after they started to pack up the samples and then the other doctor that came in came over to kelly with a swab "open your mouth please" Kelly sits up and opens his mouth and she swabs both of his cheeks  and places it in a sample bottle 

"okay we will send these of to the lab now, and you should get the results by post in 2-3 days. oh and before yous go, would you want to hear baby for the first time" we both smile and nod as the nurse places the wand on my stomach and turns on the sound as a loud steady heartbeat fills the room and I cant hold it in anymore and tears begin to fall down my face as I watch the know noticeable features wiggle around on screen a little "thats our baby" I hear from kelly as I look at him as he has also let the waterworks flow as he gets up and kisses my cheek

dr asher smiles at us as she prints of some scan photos and places them in our file and passes them to us "you will need to bring this file with every appointment its where we will keep  track of all appointments and information about the pregnancy." I take it from her as I sit up and cover my stomach. 

"You are free to go, I will make another appointment to see you in a months time"  I nod as I stand up and take Kelly's hand as we walk out of the doctors room. 

Kelly's arm wraps around me as he kisses the top of my head as he takes the file out of my arm and takes a scan picture out, he then holds it in front of us as he takes his phone out and turns on the camera."smile" he says as he holds the scan picture in between us and we both smile at the camera and he takes a picture, then he kisses my cheek and takes another.

he goes onto his gallery and looks at the pictures he just took and smiles "our first family photo" he says as I look at him and smile but also start to cry "who let you be so cute" I say as I give him a kiss before we get into his car and drive home.
