Louise decided to go to the Dr's, to see why she felt so tired. She thought she was just a bit run down. After all, it had been non stop from summer, up until the wedding. Walking into the Dr's office, the receptionist greeted Louise. Louise confirmed her appointment time and sat down.
After a few minutes of waiting, Louise was called in to see the Dr.
"Hello, Louise." Dr Hunt said offering her a seat. "What can I do for you?"
"Well....." Louise began. After Louise finished everything, Dr. Hunt did a quick exam.
"From what you say, it does sound like you could be a little run down. Just to be sure though, I will take some bloods. I will also prescribe plenty of water, rest and protein." He smiled.
He then took some bloods. Louise left the Dr's office and went back to work.
A few days later, Dr. Hunt called Louise with her test results.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"100 percent." He said. Louise ended the call and wondered how she was going to tell Brendon. She sat down in the staffroom, in a state of shock. Rachel, her manager, asked if she was ok.
"Hmmm? Oh yea, yea I am good.: she said, only half-listening.

As Brendon looked into the small box, he saw what was in it. A positive pregnancy test.
"Y-you're pregnant? Brendon asked looking back and forth between Louise and the box.
Louise nodded. Brendon stood and went over to her. He enveloped her in a hug.
"Are you OK?" Louise asked quietly.
"Ok? Ok? Baby, I am over the moon! We are having a baby. We are going to be parents. You are going to be a mommy, and I am going to be a daddy." Brendon had tears in his eyes.
"When did you find out?" Brendon asked.
"Last week. I had some bloods taken because I was feeling so run down. Turns out I am pregnant." Brendon kissed Louise and sat on the couch. Boyd and Grace congratulated them both.
"Another grand baby," Grace sniffed, tears in her eyes.
"How will we manage though?" Louise asked.
"What do you mean, honey?" Brendon asked.
"Well, the tour, and everything."
"We will manage." Brendon said. "We need to get a good OBGYN. Maybe someone who can either come on the road with us or set up appointments with other OBGYNS around the country. And as for the birth, the US leg of the tour will be over by then."
"Ok," Louise said, feeling a little more relieved. The was a new perspective to think about now.

2 weeks later, they found an OBGYN that they both like. She was called Dr. Shepherd.
The first appointment was an examination and blood tests taken. Brendon brought up the subject of the tour.
"We were wanting to know, how we work appointments around us travelling to different cities and towns."
Dr. Shepherd said that the appointments could be liased with other OBGYNS, around the country. Both Brendon and Louise let huge sighs of relief out.
They left the Dr's office, and got into their car to head towards the mall.
As they walked through, Brendon spotted a baby shop. "Lou, can we go in and look?" He gave his best puppy dog eyes.
"Ok, you win." Louise said and they headed into the store. They looked at the tiny clothes and bassinet, strollers and toys.
" I have an idea, that I need to run by you Louise." Brendon said.
"Ok?"
"So because we are having a baby, we need a bigger house." Brendon said.
"But Bren, you love that house." Louise objected.
"Yea but I love you and our baby more. We can make a home anywhere. We are a family."
So they found a realtor, got a survey and a valuation. The house was put on the market. Meanwhile, Brendon and Louise went house hunting. They wanted something that was family friendly with space, and somewhere for Brendon to have a studio.
It seemed like they would never find somewhere that was ideal. Number 10, on the list was in Santa Monica. A distance from where they were now.
Their realtor met them over there. They were shown around. It had lots of space, 4 bedrooms.
Out the back was a swimming pool, garden and an outbuilding that could be converted into Brendons studio. The kitchen was bigger than their current one. Louise was already planning the nursery and their bedroom.
"Bren, I love it." Louise whispered.
"Me too." Brendon smiled at Louise. They put an offer in. It was accepted. They decided to redecorate and do the remodelling whilst Panic was touring. It would be ready for when the baby was born.
Louise had to resign from the store, as she was going to be on tour for 3 months. She would miss the job, her co workers and regular customers.
Before she knew it, it was Spring. The tour bus was all sorted. The house had been sold. Brendon put everything into storage, until after tour.
Louise had a small bump now. They were going for an ultrasound just before they left for San Francisco.
