Ransom and I were sitting at the doctor's office. It was the last day of the trial run engagement. Ransom had been amazing over the past 2 weeks and I knew he was going to make it today. I was ready to be engaged to this man and have our future together.
I was laying on the exam table rubbing my stomach and Ransom watched me.
"You okay?" Ransom asked and I nodded.
"Yeah just a little cramping, nothing serious. I looked it up online, it's normal." I said and Ransom shook his head.
"Ask the doctor." Ransom said annoyed.
"Ransom..."
"Clo...please." Ransom said and I sighed. I reached for his hand with my left hand that was closest to him. He grabbed it and he noticed the engagement ring and gave a small smile.
"I will ask but it's nothing." I said and he shook his head and kissed the back of my hand and sighed.
"It's just...it's coming up on the same time..." Ransom trailed off and I sighed and nodded.
"I know. I promise you everything is fine and baby Drysdale is strong, healthy and still here." I said and he smiled.
"Baby Drysdale huh?" Ransom asked with a smirk.
"Well duh...I mean it will be my last name and his daddy's last name." I said. He leaned and gave me a small kiss then looked at me oddly.
"You said his...you think it's a boy?" Ransom asked and I nodded.
"Remember how we were so sure last baby was a girl?" I asked and Ransom nodded. "I just feel boy this time. A mini Ransom..." I said and he smiled.
"God help us all." Ransom said and we both laughed. We were laughing when the doctor walked in and I smiled at him.
"Doc, she is cramping." Ransom blurted out and I groaned looking at him.
"Any spotting?" The doctor asked.
"No, it's what I had last time. The muscles stretching." I said and he nodded and looked at Ransom.
"It's perfectly fine. The body is just preparing for the baby to start growing a little more." The doctor said and Ransom gave a sigh of relief.
"So besides that, how have you been feeling?" The doc asked and I sighed.
"Tired...really tired." I said and he nodded.
"You know that's going to be happening." He said and I nodded. He started to get the ultrasound machine ready.
"When can we find out what I'm having?" I asked and he smiled.
"Anxious?" The doctor asked and I nodded.
"Very." I smiled
"Well I usually check around 16 weeks. You are at 10 weeks now so we can check soon." He said and I smiled. He placed the gel on my stomach and started moving the doppler around and smiled looking at the screen. I saw my little baby but something seemed off, Ransom noticed too.
"Why isn't it moving?" Ransom asked. The doctor was silent. He turned on the speakers to listen for a heartbeat and there was nothing. My eyes filled with tears and I looked away from the screen.
"Ransom..." I whimpered out.
"What the fuck is going on doc?! You said everything was healthy!" Ransom yelled.
"Ransom, please give me one moment!" The doctor yelled over Ransom and he growled. The doctor removed the doppler and opened the exam room door.
"Get me another ultrasound machine!" He yelled to a nurse who went running. I looked at Ransom and he placed his free hand on my cheek wiping away tears.
"It's going to be okay..." Ransom said more reassuring himself than anything else. Once the new machine was brought in he put more gel on me and then turned on the screen and I refused to look.
"Clo, look." Ransom said and I shook my head. "Clover, please..." Ransom said and I slowly turned my head and I saw my baby moving around as the heartbeat started sounding through the speakers.
"He's okay?" I asked through sobs and the doctor looked relieved.
"The last machine must be faulty. The screen froze and the speakers didn't work." The doctor said and I sighed.
"God damnit." I whispered and Ransom kissed my forehead. The doctor was talking about how the baby looked good and was on par for growth rate and he would see me again in 3 weeks.
Once we got our ultrasound printouts and got in the car I looked at Ransom.
"Can we please just go home?" I asked wore out from the appointment.
"I have one more place to stop on the way home. You want to nap until we get there?" Ransom asked and I nodded. I closed my eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep with my hand on my stomach and Ransom's hand over mine.
I wasn't sure how long I had been asleep when I felt Ransom kiss my forehead.
"Kitten, wake up." Ransom whispered and I opened my eyes and saw we were at Harlans house.
"Ransom...what are we doing here?" I asked and he smiled helping me out of the car once he was out. He walked me around to the back of the house and I saw the garden all lit up with fairy lights and lanterns. He took me to the center of the garden.
"It was right in this spot that I met you when we were both 7. Your mother came to my mother's birthday party and it was the first time we were both allowed to come to a party at Harlans. I never could have imagined I would be here, in this spot, in this situation with you but I'm so happy I am. You make me who I am kitten. You make me a better man, the man I want to be. We are starting a family and I just want to be with you no matter what comes our way. We lost each other sometime ago but I'm here to tell you and say if you'll have me, you'll never lose me again." Ransom starting saying and grabbed my left hand rubbing his thumb over the ring on my finger. "So now I ask you properly Clover, will you please marry me?" Ransom asked and I smiled down at him.
"Ransom..." I said and he smiled. "You cussed at the doctor's appointment today." I said and he growled.
"Clover come on!" Ransom said and jumped up from where he had gotten down on one knee.
"What do you want from me Clover?! I'm who I am! I cuss! I drink! I get angry! I thought we were losing our baby and you want to bust my balls now!? You want to do this now?! I was scared! I put so much thought and time into this proposal and all I want is to be married to you! I love you Clover!" Ransom ranted while pacing back and forth and I just stood there and listened to him.
"Are you done?" I asked and Ransom groaned.
"Yes..." Ransom said and I smiled walking up to him and wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Good because if you were to shut up long enough you will hear me say, I was letting go you cussing today because we were scared. Also, I can't imagine my life without you and I never want to live without you again. So, I would love to marry you make this engagement official." I explained and Ransom wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You saying yes Kitten?"
"I'm saying yes Ran." I said and he leaned down and passionately kissed me.
