Just Wright With Us

Keeps getting better

Leslie's Perspective
As I sit at the table on the basketball court with Scott, he accuses me of lying after seeing the card. Even as I protest, he laughs, and I capture the moment with a big grin on his face. Then, he pulls his chair next to mine, gently rubs my stomach, and starts addressing our unborn baby.

"Hello, I'm your daddy, Scott," he says, lowering himself to speak directly to my belly. "You're in your mommy Leslie's tummy. In a few months, you'll be here, and we promise to give you the best life. But I have one request. Don't make your mommy unhappy because that won't bode well for us!"

Tears roll down my face, but I can't help bursting into laughter at his playful yet heartfelt warning. "Babe, how can you threaten a baby who's not even here, or any baby for that matter?" I ask, still chuckling.

"Well, I don't take it lightly when it comes to you, you're my priority," he replies, with a smile that warms my heart.

It feels so comforting to talk and laugh with him. We discuss having regular date nights every Friday or Saturday and planning weekend getaways if we're not tied up with other commitments. Being married isn't easy, being married to an NBA player is hard. All I want is my husband.

After that wonderful dinner, Scott and I decided to go home, relax, and play a few rounds of spades, after getting ready for bed.

"EAT THAT, TAKE THAT," I say while we are playing spades and laughing knowing I am kicking his ass in this game.

"So babe how do you and I want to handle and go about telling everyone about the baby," He replies looking through the deck of cards in his hand. I reply in a confusion bubble " I never thought about it but...I don't want everybody to know, especially the outside world. Maybe later on in the pregnancy, we can let them in just a little bit, I have to tell our Management and be put on  lighter work, I don't want to be in the spotlight or outside that much," nodding his head.

After 20 mins of playing Scott stops  and looks at Leslie. She feels him staring so she look and smiles and says "what" with a chuckle. He responded with "I think we should have a photo shoot every month of your pregnancy, I want to show our love and journey, just us three . So,What do you think ?"

Leslie was thinking about it, looking at him with a smirk , she finally gave him an answer. "YES, let's do it, I think that would be amazing" she leaned over to kiss him but afterwards she felt her self about to throw up , she then sits and the position she was already in, coming to realization that's she is about to throw up , she pushes her self up and rushes to the restroom with Scott coming behind her seconds later to rub her back and hold her hair up.

She brushed her teeth , while Scott gets her some crackers ,water , tissue, also put a small trash can by her bed side. He turns on a movie for them to watch and brings Leslie closer to him, gave her a good night kiss on the forehead. 

It pained Scott to see her sick and not her energetic self but taking care is her is one of his favorite parts of being her husband. As the movie started to end, Scott started to feel tired himself. He said quick prayer for him and his family. Then it was lights out.

The next morning

The next morning came Leslie felt no better, she was in so much pain and was coughing so bad, you would have thought she would be coughing up her lungs. "Scott, Scott, baby" she called out to him. He wakes up confused and he looks to his right and sees Leslie coughing and her nose all red and is now alert. " Hey, I'm here, what do you need?" He asked . Try to be alert but while having her eyes kinda shut,she responds with, "Can I have some soup and some more water and crackers please, Also can you call Dr. Bailey to see if I can come in today for a ultrasound and check up ?".

He was mentally noting everything she needed and got it done with in a hour. He forgot that they both had practice today but he called out for them both. Leslie and Scott got up to get dressed to go see Dr.Bailey.

On the way to the doctor's office. Scott made sure no one was there and that no one knew off their location. They both get out the car , making sure they are safe to go inside.  They walk in greeted by  a Medical Assistant and lead them to the back to an exam room. She took their info and asked Leslie to fill out some paperwork and left them. Then Dr.Bailey came and introduced herself. "Hello I am Dr.Bailey, So before we get started, I will need a urine sample , so we can confirm the pregnancy and we get a look at your fetus, okay." They all agreed and it came back she was indeed pregnant now it's time to see how is the baby and how far along she is.

Leslie took off her pants and undergarment to put on a paper gown, Leslie laid back, they put her legs up and gave a warning that she feel  something cold and uncomfortable inside her. Dr. Bailey was shocked about what she saw. The expression on her face had them wondering and worried. "Is everything okay" Leslie and Scott asked worried also, Dr.Bailey turned her screen towards them. And what they saw had them scared and in shocked. "OH MY GOD", Leslie and Scott said at the same time.
