As Old as time, second part

Expecting

Skià pov

We go back home after about four days of honeymoon. Aelynn jumps into my arms to give me a big hug and tells me all about the time she spent with my dad. Apparently he took her to a bunch of different places like the aquarium and the movies. Christmas is in two days so we spend the day decorating the house and making holiday treats.

After Christmas I started noticing that my blood sugar was running a little lower than usual but I just lowered the rate that the insulin entered my body and it fixed itself so I did not look too much into it. After New Year's though I noticed a few more symptoms so I got a few pregnancy tests from the store.

I got some weird looks while getting them but no one said anything. When I take them and look at the results it says positive on all of them. I smile before putting one in the shadows and tossing the others in a garbage can outside.

I called the gynecology clinic and set up an appointment for mid February and went back inside. I debate whether or not I should tell Bucky right away because it is so easy for things to go wrong this early on.

In the end I decide to tell him. I spin lightly in my chair at work thinking about how I am going to tell him. He knows that we tried so he will not be as surprised but it is still a big moment. I also have to get him into his room with a silencing ward or outside of the house though because I do not want Aelynn or dad to know until later when everything is more sure.

I decide on just putting up the ward and showing him the test right before we go to bed so nothing will be too suspicious. So when I get home I behave like everything is normal until everyone else goes to bed. I have been sleeping in Bucky's bed for a while now so I just slip into the room with him. His attention turns to me however when I put up the ward and sit on the end of the bed.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing really I just have something to tell you." He grabs me around my waist and pulls me into his arms.

"What is it?"

I turn my body so that I am facing him and take the test out of the shadows. I block it in my hands before flipping it over so he can see the results. He looks confused and then I remember that pregnancy tests did not really exist by the time that he got stuck in hydras control. "I forgot that these did not exist last time you were in society."

"What does it mean?"

"I am pregnant." His face lights up.

"Really?! They have a home test for that now?"

"Yes, you can just buy them at the store."

"That's great."

"I already set up an appointment with the doctor for February so they can check on the baby."

"Good." I slip the test back into the shadows and we snuggle up and get ready to sleep.

So far I have had my regular symptoms along with a few that are due to my diabetes but all together I do not feel that bad. Modern pregnancies are a lot nicer that ones I have had before. I still look like I am not pregnant so likely I am only pregnant with one baby which is rather rare for me.

We only changed our appearances slightly for the appointment. I made myself look just a little bit older and Bucky was is his appearance that he uses for teaching. We walk into a room that full of women and their significant others and walk up to the desk to check in. I am with the doctor that specializes in high risk pregnancy due to the fact that I have diabetes, I am on the younger side and I am intersex.

It does not take long for me to get called back. I do the usual weight and height checks before heading into the actual room to wait for the doctor. I get my vitals checked and my stomach measured before the nurse leaves.
