Her Beef 2: A Different Me

Chapter 12

Aubrey

We were now sitting in the emergency room waiting for the doctor to come in and check on Desire. They took some blood and a urine sample to run a few test. It seems like we have been sitting in here for hours.

Desire has still been vomiting and feeling feverish. I hated seeing her like this. She looked so helpless and I wanted to just take all this away from her. "What is taking them so long?" She asked. I was about to push the button to call the nurse when the doctor walked in.

He sat down on the stool with some papers. "Well Desire like your doctor told you you don't have any STDs and you are HIV negative, but you are eight weeks pregnant. Your hormones aren't high in your urine but the blood test did show positive for pregnancy. I would like to do an ultrasound just to see how things are looking with the baby. Congrats you two." The doctor said leaving the room.

We just looked at each other in complete shock. Here she is eight weeks pregnant with all this drama going on. As soon as the doctor said eight weeks I did the math and I knew that the baby was mines. I was feeling so many emotions right now that I didn't know what to say. I kissed Desire on the forehead and wiped away the tears that were threatening to fall. I knew she was overwhelmed right now. "Are you alright?" I asked her. She just looked at me and shook her head yes.

The doctor and a nurse came back in with an ultrasound machine. The doctor didn't want to move her around because of all the vomiting. He lifted Desire's shirt and put some gel on her belly. As soon as he put the thing to Desire's belly we heard the strongest heartbeat ever heard. "Wow your baby has a very strong heart beat. Look here is your baby." The doctor said pointing out a small image on the screen.

I didn't even realize that I had tears rolling down my face. Here was my son or daughter and I'm acting a damn fool. I made a promise to myself right here and now to take care of Desire so that what happened last time will not happen this time. "Well guys your baby is doing just fine. Everything looks to be going well. I'm going to give you a picture of your baby and I'm going to prescribe you some prenatal vitamins and something for the nausea. Let me get that with your discharge papers and your free to go. Please see your primary doctor as soon as you return home." The doctor said leaving once again.

God had blessed us once again with the opportunity to be parents. I kissed Desire on the lips and just hugged her tightly. I broke the embrace to look her in the eye's. "Desire this is the best gift that anyone could ever give me. You have made me a father for the second time. I love you so much and I will do whatever it takes to make sure we are one happy family." I said kissing her again.

The doctor came back with everything we needed. Desire signed her discharge papers and we were on our to tell Sandi the good news. This is my chance to prove to Desire that I can be the man she fell in love with. I will not let her down this time.

Desire

I can't believe that I am going to be a mother again. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want to stress and I don't want the drama. I want to bring a happy healthy baby in this world and I will do that by any means necessary. We were going to Aubrey's mother house to tell her when something hit me. I don't want to go back home. Alyssa was back in New York and I didn't want to deal with any of that. I think I should stay in Toronto until I give birth.

Aubrey reached over and grabbed my hand. I turned and looked at him with a warm smile. "Aubrey I was just sitting here thinking and I don't want to go back to New York. All the drama was back there. I think we should stay here in Toronto until the baby is born." She said. He looked at me for a minute than back at the road. "What about ya brother and your friends? What about your business"? He asked. "My family and friends can come visit and my assistant Amber could handle things for me. I really want this pregnancy to go well and the only way that could happen is if we are drama free." I said. I don't want to go through a bunch of unnecessary bullshit.
