Happy Monday guys!

Got some good news for this week - I'm posting 4 times (Today, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday!) Woo! That then leaves us with just 8 chapters, so I might post every day next week and again on New Year's Day since I'm on vacation rn so I can get a lot of writing done :3 I did a bit of writing on my flight so only have 2 and a half chapters left to complete so I'll for sure let you all know if there's any changes with the update schedule I have planned above, but I hope you enjoy today's chapter :D

Summary: After finding out that she's pregnant, Evra goes for her first ultrasound scan and tries to come up with a way to tell Aryia about the baby.

It had been two days since I spoke with Cassie and Kévin about my pregnancy. Two whole days since I found out that I was pregnant and I still couldn't get the thought out of my head.

After setting up my sonogram appointment at the hospital, I'd planned to attend the gynecology unit and then spend a bit of time out of the house to try and process everything. I was still in shock that I was pregnant at 25 – almost 26 – but one thing I was adamant about was that I was keeping the baby. I just hoped that Aryia would want to as well. I knew he wanted to have kids with me, even if it was earlier than I'd thought. However I was still at a standstill with my ideas on how to tell him and had been a little more anxious when he offered to drive me to my appointment. Part of me wanted to let him come in with me but I also wanted to make this more meaningful and less of a shock to the system. So I told him the details of my appointment; that I was going for a scan to ensure there wasn't anything too serious going on. Obviously, I knew that me being pregnant was a serious thing so I was still keeping him in the dark – which I felt guilty about – I just wanted to make the announcement special, especially considering how this would be the first time we were having a baby.

He of course insisted on coming in with me and waiting in the waiting room, but I told him that I would be straight in and straight out, somehow managing to convince him to stay in the car which he – very reluctantly – agreed to do. We hadn't argued about it – yet – but I felt like he would get irritated if I didn't tell him about this sooner than later; which I completely understood, I just wanted him to find out in a less mundane way than by having a nurse tell us "congratulations" – even though that in itself was pretty special. And despite taking three tests in the last three days, I couldn't help but feel as if this was all some sort of elaborate prank by Reggie which was another reason why I was so shy about getting Aryia to come with me – just in case I got his hopes up for nothing. If this was happening – the chances of it being extremely high – he would probably scold me for keeping it a secret from him or call me "troublesome" for it later, but I wanted to be the one to let him know that we were going to be parents and I wanted to be absolutely sure before I let him know.

'I could tell him now.' I thought as he drove me to the hospital. 'But I really have no idea how to say it. And I don't want him to freak out too much...'

"Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you, Babe?"

I nodded. "I'll be fine, Moony. I'll be out in an hour."

He sighed. "Okay. But if you're not, I'm coming in to find you."

I laughed at his teasing. "Okay." I agreed. "See you in a bit."

I kissed him across the car counsel before getting my bag and getting out of the car.

"Are you sure I can't come?"
