Chenford fanfic (what if Lucy found out she's pregnant after the break up

Chapter 6-the gender

Lucy's pov
Working with Nyla and Angela has been great the past few weeks. I'm really starting to show. So  now everyone knows, me and Tim are on our way to the doctor's appointment to find out the gender. We are sitting in the waiting room just talking about our day
"Basically Nyla and Angela made sure I stayed behind the desk today just to make everything go smoothly"
"As they should you really shouldn't be exerting yourself baby"
"I'm fine Tim look I'm not out in the Field and so far I've had a really healthy pregnancy I know that we had a little bit of a scare in the beginning but that had no real effect on our little boot right here so it's time so stop worrying about it"
"I know, I know I just want this little boot to come out and have two parents, Luce what if he had gotten to your gun before you had or even worse what if he would've had one already"
"Tim stop thinking about the what ifs, you can't think of the what ifs cause that will always end up killing you in the long run"
"Your right as usual"
"I know I am" then he leaned in and kissed me then leaned down and kissed our little boot. After a couple more minutes the doctor finally called us in and did our ultrasound and told us our results,
"You Mrs Chen are having a baby girl"
"What" I said in excitement
"Really" Tim said with the biggest small on his face
"Yeah you two are going to have a daughter, a little girl, however Mrs Chen there are things I would like to discuss because of your age this pregnancy is going to get a little harder the further you go on, now it's nothing to be concerned with because your not at the age where you would be considered high risk but you also not at your prime age"
"So what does that mean exactly" I ask
"Because you are in that middle ground between the two stages your body will start to work over time especially your heart and lungs trying to make up for the extra stress being put on your body but you are in prime shape and you are again just right in between the stages and not yet to the point of concern so I recommend avoiding any to all stress if possible and I'd advise for you to take maternity leave soon within the next month or two"
"Avoid stress that seems hard to do with a job like mine"
"Yes I'm aware which is why I'm advising you to go on maternity leave soon to have a break form any work stress"
"And if I don't"
"Don't what Mrs Chen"
"Take maternity leave soon"
"You could be exposing yourself and your baby to unnecessary stress and that could lead to a miscarriage or stillbirth"
"Ok so really I have no option"
"You do in a way"
"Yeah my options being kill my baby or take half a year off from work, do you know how much that would set me back"
"Lucy baby calm down please"
"No"
"Mrs Chen the decision is yours, I have other patients " with that he leaves the room and I'm so frustrated that I just end up crying I don't mean to but I do and I can't stop it I have been living in this little imaginary world where having a baby wouldn't change much when really it changes everything and I hate to say it but Tim is right this baby needs two parents and I'm going to make sure that she does but I also don't want to have to choose between my baby and my career I know which one I would pick but it's hard to give up everything I've worked so hard to accomplish the last few years but this baby needs someone to look after her and I will be a better mother than mine was
"Hey, hey Lucy look at me" Tim says pulling me out of my thoughts
"Tim I- I-"
"Hey baby why you crying"
"I'm just so overwhelmed"
"Oh come here" he pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head like he always does and then it hits me where having a girl
"Where having a girl" I say as I look up at him
"We are" he says with a big smile
"Let's go home" I say
"Ok" with that he gives me one more quick kiss of the top of the head and we leave and go back to his house once we're there we sit and cuddle on the couch with a movie he picked out playing in the background
"Have you thought of a name yet"
"Yep I've had one actually for a while"
"Oh do I get to know it yet"
"Isabel Tamra Bradford"
"Lucy I- I don't know what to say" he says with tear in his eyes
"I hope those are happy tears, and you don't have to say anything I know how much you cared for her and how much she cared for you, she truly did love you Tim and you helped her more than you will ever know and she was really nice when she wasn't high"
"Yeah she was wonderful before the drugs it was nice to see that again before she died"
"Yeah it was nice to see her happy" Tim pulls me in closer to him and kiss my head
"I love you"
"I love too" I say once the movie is over we go to bed and cuddle till we fall asleep. I wake up and I go to get ready for work while Tim is still sleeping, I'm brushing my teeth when he comes running into the bathroom yelling my name I finish and then I just give him a look
"I woke up and you weren't there and I just kinda panicked and-"
"I can see that and hear that also why are you so out of breath"
"Oh cause I tripped over Kojo" he responds as kojo comes up behind him wagging his tail so kneel down and start petting kojo
"Oh the poor baby did he step on you, oh come here" I said to kojo in a little baby voice Tim hates when I use that voice with kojo but he's my baby so I do it anyway I then fully sit on the floor and just pet my little baby till he walks away
"Really"
"What he's my little baby he was my first puppy"
"That doesn't mean anything and I thought we couldn't call Tamra a puppy anymore"
"You can't I can"
"Why can you refer to her as your puppy"
"Cause it's funny when I do it"
"Ok whatever you say"
"Oh we got to get to work help me up please"
"No cause apparently it's not funny when I call Tamra a puppy but it is when you do" he says all sassy the pretends to walk away and I laugh at how stupid he's acting, it's adorable, then he finally helps me up off the floor
