Lola PoV;I sit in the waiting room, impatient to see the doctor. This will be the first time I will have to see this thing inside of me, the thing that is very determined to ruin my life. Even thought everything between me and Matt has been sorted out and everything is nearly the way it used to be, he refused to come today.
So I sit her in a very tense waiting room, listening to the tick of the clock go past, Danny was here with my of course but the conversations between us had been very minimal. He refused to sleep in our bed now, saying he was doing it for me and the baby of course but I knew the really reason was because he was furious at me.
'What time is the appointment?' Even though his scarce voice cut through the ticking the tension was still planted there.
'I don't know exactly soon I guess,'
'That's not the only thing you don't know' I hear him mumble under his voice but chose to ignore it, how can it be my god damn fault for fucks sake I didn't even know I had sex with Matt let alone that I am carrying his baby. I know it more likely it is going to be Matts that Danny. Karma just wants to kill me that way.
'It's not my fault,'
'How can't it be your fault,' his voice comes out in a sharp whisper
'Look I didn't even know that Matt and me has sex ok.' I hear a harsh chuckle
' How can you not know something like that?'
'I just didn't,' I let out a little huff
'Look I'm sorry...'
'Let's just not right now.'
We Sit in the waiting room in silence. I stare around the room trying to take everything in. there's parents with babies aged 1-4 months here to get check outs, it's so scary to think I'm going to have one of my own of them in only 7 months. The one sitting next to me lying on its mothers chest asleep looking more like a doll than an actual child. It's impossible for me to imagine what my child will even look like due to the fact it has 2 fathers right now. The little one guzzle down milk from there mothers nipple as she looks shattered from lack of sleep. I can't imagine Matt being a dad looking after my child. Would he get up to help feed it. Of course at first I want to try the breast feeding.
I wonder if that hurts your boob?"Miss Martinez.'
I stand up nearly losing my balance at first, but Danny takes my hand, letting me know no matter what happens today he will be at my side.
Today I will find out how many weeks it is, today I will find out who the father is.
The room was slightly cold and taking my rounded stomach out just added to it.
Making me lay on this uncomfortable table with padding they called a chair and pulling tucking tissue paper into them incase the gel touches my clothing. I start to take deep breaths trying to calm myself down from everything. I know the nurse introduced herself but right now everything she is saying is coming out a bluer to me.
It being a hospital everything in this room is very white and clean with loads of posters and leaflets on 'first baby's' and 'what is happening in side you'. I try to recall everything I learned in upper school on pregnancy and what happens when having a child
The young looking nurse puts on gloves before starting to look for the baby with the gel covered scanner. Damn that's freezing. Finding the heart beat she directs me to the screen where I see the prettiest little baby outline I've ever seen. Every doubt I've ever had goes away, that's my child, my beautiful little child.
"The baby is perfectly healthy and growing at a steady rate, your pregnancy seem to be going great"
"Danny, that's a baby" I say still glued to the screen. I wipe away a tear that was forming in my eyes
He just squeezes my hand and nods. I look away from the screen to look up at him, he was just as amazed as me. I look back to the screen that's my baby.
"Lola , how many scan pictures do you want today?"
Coming back to reality I look at the nurse , these pics are not just going for me , "hmmmm, 6 maybe?"
"Ok, well I'll go get them printed, come to the desk to pick them up when your ready"'Ok thank you,'
'Do you want to know the weeks?' Danny looks annoyed for a minute forgetting that this child isn't just his yet.
'Yeah I would like to know,' Danny drops my hard
'I'm gonna go outside for a minute,' before I had a second to protest he had stormed out the room
'Is your boyfriend worried,' I let out a laugh, she might as well know she's going to be with me for the rest of this process
'It's complicated, he might not be the father, I didn't cheat just to let you know there are two weeks difference between them.' She lets out a little laugh
'You'll be surprised how much that happens,'
'Your baby is ......'
----------------------------------------------
'Do you want me to send him back into the room to tell him,''Yes please.'
'Ok I'll give you guys some time afterwards.' I nod my head
And with that she left the room
'Hey' he sat down into the chair next to me 'You have one heck of a amazing child there, it's so beautiful and just so perfect,'
'We,'
I looks up at me a lot star struck 'what?'
'You mean we have one heck of a perfect child,' the smile on his face grew and he pulled me into a massive embrace.
----------------------------------------------
I sit on our balcony letting the bitter air embrace my skin.
'You need to keep warm now,' I turn around to see Matt walking towards me with a fur blanket 'Your pregnant,'
'Thanks for that I didn't get the message,' He rolls his eyes at my sarcasm
'How did it go today?' I could see by his face that he was nervous by it all, I know he wants the child to be his.
'It's beautiful, here I have a pic,' I pull the picture from my pocket where I had been keeping it since I got it
'Oh my god,'you could see the tears in his eyes form but he quickly blinked them away 'it's so perfect,'
'I've got a picture for you somewhere, I'll try to find it tomorrow' He gives me a little nod but I know he is getting nervous by the way he starts to bite his figure
'Who...what..' He takes a frustrated sigh, 'Is the baby mine?'
'Matt the baby is yours,' he sits there next to me pulling me into a massive hug
'I promise I'm gonna sort my life out, I'm gonna try to be a better person, I promise you I'm going to be the best father ever.'
' I know you are,'
