Reneé Rapp Imagines (gxg)

you're trying for a baby together but you're scared of needles (requested)

"Are you okay?" Reneé asked as she watched you sit down on the edge of the bathtub.

Today, you and Reneé are doing the very first round of IVF together, and up until now, you haven't felt anything other than excitement.

But now, you're feeling pretty nervous as you stare at the needle that you have to inject into your skin.

You have a huge fear of needles and knew this would be part of the process but you've been so caught up in the excitement and the possibility of starting a family with Reneé that you haven't paid much mind to this part.

Now that you see the needle in front of you, you're pretty nervous about it.

"Are you having second thoughts?" She asked as she came over to sit down beside you.

"No. Not about having a baby together. This is something we want so much and I want to do this with you more than anything. I'm just scared of needles and this one is just so big."

"I know." She whispered as she rubbed your back. "I don't want you to feel pressured to do this. If you're too anxious about the needle, we can talk about another option, baby."

"No." You quickly said. "No, I want to do this. I want to have a baby."

"Me too." She smiled and gently stroked your cheek. "I'll do whatever I can to make this easier on you. I'll help you through it however I can."

"Thank you." You said before laying your head on her shoulder.

"And just think, when we're done with this part, we might get a baby out of it."

You grinned at the thought.

This is all you and Reneé have wanted - a family together, a precious baby of your own.

And as scared as you were of needles, it was a good motivation that the outcome of it all might lead you both to that dream coming true.

"Let's do it."

"Are you sure?" She checked and you nodded.

"Yeah. I want a baby with you. If I have to go through this to make that dream of ours come true, I'm happy to do it. I'll be okay."

She kissed your forehead softly, her lips lingering on your skin for just a moment as she tried to fight the tears in her eyes.

She wants this so badly, just as much as you, and she's hoping with all of her heart that it happens.

You got up and Reneé was right by your side as you prepared yourself for the needle.

"Do you want me to help in any way?"

"Just stay right here with me."

"I'm here. Every step of the way, baby. I'm right here." She whispered and kissed your shoulder softly as you began to inch the needle closer and closer to your stomach.

You did it just as instructed - right around two inches below your belly button, right on your lower abdomen.

The needle slowly went into your skin and you winced, making Renee kiss your shoulder once more.

"You're doing so good. You can do it, baby." She encouraged as she watched the needle go all the way in.

You pulled it back out after a few seconds and set it down on the counter before turning around to face Reneé.

"Doing okay?" She checked and brushed her fingers along your back.

"I'm okay. It was a little uncomfortable but not as bad as I feared it would be." You sighed in relief. "Now, we're one step closer."

"I know." She grinned and tucked a lock of hair behind your ear. "I'm so proud of you. I know it's going to work, I just know it."

"Me too." You said as she rubbed your back, hoping that the feeling in your hearts was right and, soon enough, you'd both finally have a little family together.
