Austin's POV

"Alright, Mrs. Mahone." The brunette doctor walks in and I feel my heart race at the sound of Becky being called by my last name.

"Oh. I-" Becky stops herself mid sentence and I smile.

"Your baby is okay. It was a false miscarriage, but if it happens again,  make sure you come in as soon as possible." She says and I exhale in relief as I press my lips against Becky's forehead. "Would you like to see the baby?" She asks and Becky looks up at me and I give her a nod.

"Of course." Becky says, eagerly and I smile as she lifts her gown again and the doctor follows the same procedure as the nurse and I hear the same booming sound from before and Becky grips my hand tightly.

"That's your baby." The doctor points at a small white blob on the screen that slightly moves. "It's the size of a bean." She says, demonstrating with her index and thumb fingers and I feel a smile pull on my lips.

"What about that booming sound?" Becky asks, the doctor moves the wand around again and she turns to both of us.

"That, is the baby's heart, which is right there." She says, pointing at the small little blob again.

Becky turns to me and smiles. "For now, his or her name is peanut." She says and I laugh, pressing my lips against hers.

"It's perfect." I mumble against her lips.

"Here you go." The doctor hands Becky a strip of pictures and Becky looks over them, she runs her fingertips along the edges of the strips and I kiss her head. "I'll get your discharge papers." The doctor says and I give her a nod.

"What if we can't raise the baby?" Becky asks and I sit down on the chair next to her.

"We will. I applied for a job and we're gonna be fine. I mean, look, it's so tiny and we somehow made that, this is ours and we're gonna be a great family. You'll be a wonderful mom." I say and she gives me a small smile, glancing back at the photos.

I sigh, caressing her arms.
I was 19 and I was having a baby, how was that even possible? This was gonna change everything.

Becky's POV

"Hey. Where have you been?" I hear as soon as I set a foot in the living room and I freeze.

"Oh, um, I was with Dani." I lie and I walk up the steps, heading to my room.

"Rebbeca." My mom says, sternly and I turn around. "Dani was just here about an hour ago." She claims and I panic.

"Okay. I was with Austin. We went out to eat lunch." I lie again and she smiles at me.

"So what's that?" She questions, referring to the sonograms in my hand and I mentally scold myself.

"Oh, Michele. She's, um, she's expecting." I say and I bite my lip.
Wonderful, Rebbeca, just wonderful. How are you gonna explain that?

"Oh. Well that's great." My mom says through gritted teeth and I rush up stairs and I shut my bedroom door.

Michele, really? My self conscience scolds.

I pull my phone out and I decided to text Austin.

{Me}

So we have a situation...

~

I set my phone on the nightstand and I burry the sonograms in my underwear drawer, making sure a few pairs cover them up.

I stand in front of the mirror and I lift my top, exposing my belly and stand sideway, focusing on the tiny, unnoticeable baby bump that was forming and I sigh lightly.

I hear my phone chime, so I pull my shirt down and I rush over to the nightstand, Austin's name flashing across the screen.

{Austin🐯}

What kind of situation?...

{Me}

I told my mom that your mom was pregnant. She saw the sonograms and I panicked ! I wasn't thinking and I said your mom. I'm so sorry😔

{Austin🐯}

Baby? It's okay. I promise, we'll figure it out. Don't worry about it😘

~

I sigh, setting my phone down and lay back against the mattress.
This was harder to hide then I had expected but then again, what was I expecting? It's a baby for god sakes, you can't hide a baby.

I sit up, bringing the laptop onto the mattress and I flip it open, logging in and I quickly search up anything about adoption.

As much as Austin wanted a baby and as much as he wanted to keep it, we weren't cut out for this, we're too young for this responsibility and besides, how would we raise a child on our own?

I wrote down a few numbers to agencies and I bookmarked a few webpages. This baby deserved a real family, not a dysfunctional one that could barely mend for itself.

If Austin wouldn't agree with the adoption, I had no choice but to take it into my own hands and decide for me and the baby. And I wanted him or her to grow in the correct family, the correct way.

I closed the laptop, bringing out the sonograms again and I set them on the bed, scanning over them.
How could something so little, bring huge complications but such big joy?
Maybe I wasn't so thrilled to be pregnant or to go through the process of being pregnant, let alone a mother but I had to be happy. And I was, I was happy for all the wrong reasons. Besides, it was also Austin's, so the more the merrier.

Yes she said Michele 😂😂 I had to just throw that in there.
I'm sorry that it's so short, I'm just saving the most exciting parts! So I had a few questions for y'all, what should she have? Like a boy or a girl? Or better yet, twins? Let me know in the comments and the one I see the most, will be what she's having.
I love you babies.
