After All This Time

Chapter 16: Girl or boy??

(It's been about 2 months since the last chapter so charlie is now 5 months pregnant and Clover has been living in their basement)

Clovers pov:

I have been so grateful for Nick and Charlie's kindness! They are the nicest people ever and they are just so cute! They have helped me find a therapist and in return i helped them start decorating the baby room. I also leave for a few hours every friday to give them space, pay for my own groceries, and charlie and I rotate driving. They are going to be best parents ever. I've met Sarah a few times too and she is just so nice. this would've been a great family to be apart of but my ex was a dick soooo.....

Anyways, it's saturday at about 9:00 AM. I hear them upstairs so i walk upstairs. I'm wearing sweatpants and a sports bra. I've tried to be somewhat respectful in what i wear because of their kindness. in return they try not to kiss or something in my presence. But i am so tired that i couldn't care less. I walk up and they were kissing around the the coffee pot. I honestly don't care about the pda but they stop and say good morning.

Nick: "coffee?"

I nod and grab a mug. and walk over to the coffee pot, nick pours me a cup.

Clover: "mm thanks"

Nick smiles and turns back to charlie, they are so excited.

Charlie turns to me though and asks:

Charlie: "do you want to come to the ultrasound with us? i mean you deserve to come with us!"

I pause to think

Clover: "are you sure? i don't want to be a burden"

Nick speaks up:

Nick: "yea we are sure! you have been a big part of our lives for the past 2 months so please come."

I nod. Charlie start jumping up and down with excitement. He is the most energetic pregnant man i have ever met. he grabs my shoulders and i set my mug down and jump with him. I than remember i have a sports bra on and stop

Clover: "Oh my god i'm so sorry!!"

Charlie: "why? everything's ok!"

Clover: "i'm sorry to be dressed so inappropriately"

Nick and charlie look at each other

Nick: "what do you mean? your bra?"

I nod and they both laugh

Nick: "do you think we care??"

i'm now severely embarrassed. why did i have to open my mouth. Charlie hugs me and says:

Charlie: "we don't care at all! please dress in whatever makes you happy!"

(2 hours later of getting ready)

We are walking out the door and charlie is wearing nicks hoodie (you can barely see his belly) and leggings , nick is wearing shorts and t shirt, i have ripped jeans and a cropped sweatshirt.

(at the hospital)

we walk in and immediately get stares. Nick and charlie have kind of gotten used to it but i still feel bad. we walk up to check in and im standing behind them.

Receptionist: "Oh i actually need to speak to her if she's having an ultrasound."

Charlie laughed and said:

Charlie: "I'm having the ultrasound, i'm trans"

The receptionist just nods and gives him a form to sign. He gives it back and we sit down.

(few minutes later)

Nurse: "Charlie!"

The three of us stand up and she looks at me

Nurse: "alright come on back to run some tests and get your ultrasound!"

When the three of us start walking back she asks how far long Charlie is

Charlie: "Five months and getting nervous!"

She laughs and says

Nurse: "who ain't getting nervous!"

charlie laughs slightly and we finally get to the room. She tells Charlie-but is facing me- to get up in the table.

He does and she looks confused.

Nurse: "are you charlie?"

Charlie: "yes my name is charlie, that is my fiancée nick and our family friend clover!"

Nurse: "oh my apologies for assuming! we are happy you are here!"

he smile's awkwardly and they start the tests

(after all the tests and now time for ultrasound)

Charlie lays down on the table and the nurses asks if they want to know the gender both nick and charlie say yes almost yelling.

After a few moments of turning the stick around she says:

Nurse: "It's a
