Meeting Dan (Danisnotonfire)

Chapter 17 - Can we do this?

Ivy's POV

4 months had passed since my attempt, and things could honestly not be any better. Me and Dan were happier than ever, and guess what? Phil and Leah finally got together! It took them a while, but eventually Phil told her how he felt and now they're pretty solid! Phil spends most of the time at our apartment with Leah, whereas i am with Dan most of the time. To my surprise, the fanbase had taken to me really well! There were very rarely nasty comments about me, and whenever we saw fans in the street, they would always ask for a picture with me as well as Dan!

This weekend, Leah had gone home to see her parents and Dan had done the same. So i decided to stay with Phil over the weekend so neither of us were alone. I never visited home much. I was so happy here in London, and when i went home, although it was great seeing my family, i just missed being with Dan. I would speak to my parents reguarly over the phone though so it wasn't as bad.

I was lounging about in my pyjamas watching TV when Phil emerged out of his room. "Hey, nice lay in?". Phil looked at me puzzled before looking at the clock and realising it was 1pm. "Oh dear! How did that happen?". "Well we were up late last night watching Family Guy, so makes sense." Phil laughed and sat down on the sofa next to me. "So how come you were up earlier then?". "Just didn't feel too well to be honest, so woke up early and made myself some tea and took a couple of painkillers." Phil smiled and went to make himself some coffee. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I hadn't felt right for a while. I was constantly feeling sick, and always had a temperature. I was sure it was just some sickness bug that i had caught, but i always feared the worse. I'm one of those people who will google their symptoms, and accept the fact that i propbably will have the worst outcome and die. Yep, way to be optimistic Ivy! I was considering making a doctors appointment, but doctors terrified me. Before i had time to think, i had to hurry to the bathroom and be sick. I really did feel bad. I suddenly heard knocking on the door. "Ivy you okay?". I knew i had to get this problem sorted. "Yeah i'm fine, will you do me a favour and call the doctors and make me an appointment for today please?". "Yeah sure thing." As much as i loved Phil, it sucked not having Dan here when i felt this bad. He would always rub my back and hold back my hair and make me feel at ease. But hey, hopefully this problem would all be sorted out soon.

Phil had made me an appointment and before long we were in the back of a cab on our way to the surgery. I was so nervous. I don't even know why. It wasn't like i was dying or anything, i just never did like the doctors from a young age. When we finally reached the surgery, we went and sat down in the waiting area. Luckily there were hardly any people around, so i didn't think we would have to wait long. Within about 5 minutes my name was called. "You'll wait here for me yeah?". I smiled at Phil hopefully. "Of course i will silly!". I sighed and made my way to room number 8..

I sat down with the doctor and explained all my symptoms and she looked at me with a smile on her face. "I don't suppose there is any chance that you may be pregnant?". Pregnant? What?! This was crazy, me and Dan were always so careful. "Well, umm, not really. I mean me and my boyfriend always use protection, so i don't think it's that." I began to shake. I wasn't old enough to be a mum. The doctor reached into her drawer and pulled out a pregnancy test. "Well, i would like you to go and do this okay?". I took the test in my hand and nodded before leaving the room. I peered out the door to the waiting room to see Phil reading a magazine. I hoped i could quickly get to the bathroom without him noticing. Luckily, he was so engaged in reading a cookery magazine that he didn't notice me at all. I stood in the toilets just staring at the test anxiously.. waiting.. the wait seemed like forever, but finally i had the answer. I was pregnant..

I was shocked, but a smile appeared on my face. I mean, i know i was only 18, soon to be 19, but people have babies younger than me. I was never one for abortion so i knew that this was my mistake, and that i owed it to my child to be a good parent. I exited the bathroom and made brief eye contact with Phil who shot me a puzzling look before i quickly headed back to the doctors room. I put the test down on the desk and she smiled at me. "Congratulations darling!".  "Thank you!". After a brief chat about what my plan was i left the room. I couldn't believe that i was 15 weeks pregnant. How was i not showing at all?! I must have a very tiny little munchkin inside of me! We sorted out dates for my first scan and i shook her hand before leaving to go and see Phil. I walked over to him and grabbed his hand pulling him outside the surgery. "So, what did the doctor say then?". I couldn't hold my smile back, i was actually really happy, although slightly nervous. "Well, turns out there is going to be a mini Dan or Ivy running around soon!". Phil had the most shocked look on his face. "Oh my god seriously?! This is crazy! I'm really happy for you though! I assume you're going to keep it?". "Yes, of course i am! This is my baby, and i'm never going to let him or her down!". Phil pulled me into a massive hug and then we phoned for a cab, and began to talk about everything baby related.

As we arrived back at the apartment, i realised that Dan would be home later on. "I'm so nervous about telling Dan. What if he doesn't want a baby with me?". Phil sat down beside me and put his arm around my shoulder. "Hey, listen to me. Dan loves you okay? And he will love the baby just as much, trust me." I gave Phil a hug and then he went to make dinner. "Hey, make sure you put plenty on my plate, i'm eating for 2 now remember!". Phil laughed and carried on with making his famous stir fry.

After eating dinner and clearing up, i realised the time. 10pm. Dan was due home any time now. Phil went to edit his most recent video giving me time to work out how i was going to tell Dan. I wanted to do something special. Not the boring 'i'm pregnant' or 'you're going to be a dad!'. No, this had to be special. I headed over to Dan's room and started looking for some kind of inspiration. I opened the drawer near his desk to find he had an 'any year' calander in there. This was perfect! I took out the calander and grabbed a pen. I flcked through the pages until i got to March and wrote the words 'due date' in the box for March the 7th. This was when our little bundle of joy was due to arrive! In 5 months, i was going to be a mum. I was so excited! I just hoped Dan would be too. I put the calander on top of his desk and went back in the lounge waiting for him to arrive home..

30 minutes later i heard the front door open. I ran over, and as soon as i saw Dan i jumped into his arms and gave him a huge kiss. "Guessing you missed me then hey?". I laughed and cuddled into his chest. "You have no idea just how much." Dan left his suitcase in the lounge and went to make himself a cup of coffee. This was it.. i needed to do this now. "Hey Dan, i thought of this really cute idea for a date night for us seeing as we haven't had one in ages". "Yeah sounds good babe, what you got in mind?". "Well, it's not until March, but i wrote it on your calander on your desk, so have a look and see if you like it."

Dan's POV

"March? You've planned and date night 5 months in advance?". "Just go look yeah?". I was so confused but i laughed and agreed to go and look. I had no idea what this could be. Maybe some kind of romantic trip or something? I strolled into my room and turned around to see Ivy and Phil standing in the hallway with massive smiles on their faces. I shrugged it off and headed over to the calander turning the pages. January.. February.. March.. I looked over the calander and all i could see written was 'due date' on the 7th of March. I questioned what i saw, looking over it again and again to make sure i had read it correctly. I turned around to see Ivy crying. It looked like tears of joy though. "You're pregnant?". She nodded and held her hand to her face. I felt the tears forming in my eyes myself. I dropped the calander and ran over to Ivy picking her up and swinging her around. "Oh my god when did you find out? How far gone are you? What are we having, boy or girl?". She laughed and took my hand leading me to the bed. We sat down together and she went on to explain everything. "Wow, i'm going to be a dad!" "Yep! And you're going to be the best dad in the world to our little munchkin!". I laughed and leant down to kiss her tummy. My life was perfect. I had the most beautiful girlfriend in the world, and we were going to have a beautiful baby. "So, are we going to find out what we're having? Or are we going to keep it a surprise." She thought about my question for a minute. "Hmm, wait here." She called Phil into the room and we all sat down on the bed. She handed me and Phil and piece of paper and a pen. "Okay, so we all have to write down whether we want to know the sex of the baby, or keep it a surprise okay?". We all turned around our paper and we had all written 'surprise'. I couldn't wait until March. I couldn't wait to meet my little boy or girl.
