Save Me. {A Joe Sugg FanFiction}

thirty-five

I sit in the passenger seat while Joe sits in the drivers seat.
'Ready?' He places his hand on my thigh and starts the car. I nod and close my eyes, the pregnancy has taken its toll and I sigh.

~~~~~~~

I wake up to Joe gently shaking me.
'We're here?' I mumble, rubbing my eyes. No doubt smudging my mascara.
'Yes love.' Joe says and he gets out the car, going round to my side and opening the door.
'Thanks.' I smile, still slightly drowsy.
I take Joe's hand in mine and he swings it absentmindedly.
As we enter the hospital he goes up to the counter and a lady in a fluffy pink jumper looks up and smiles.
'I've booked an appointment?' Joe asks.
'Under what name?' 
'Sugg.'
I look at the long row of patients and sigh, we'll be waiting a long time...
'Right if you just fill this in..' I hear the lady say and I zone out.

I picture Joe and I in our own beach house like Alexa's dad used to have: made of light wood, two floors and a third with an open middle. Dot lying down in its bassinet. Joe and I look at it and smile like proud parents.
Dot reaches out and clasps my hand, letting out a slight giggle.
Joe look and me and he leans in...

'Emma?' Joe says, snapping out of my trance and smile to myself. I'm like a little girl getting her first boyfriend.
'Sorry... I was just imagining things.' I apologise.
'Care to tell me what?' Joe smirks, nudging me.
I shake my head. 'All in due course.' I tease.
Joe sighs and turns round a corridor to a door saying 'Room 11E'. He opens it and walk in, a nurse sitting with a clip board and a frown on her face.
'Sugg?' She says bored.
Joe nods and she gestures for me to sit down on the hospital bed.
'Please remove your shirt ma'am.'
I look oddly at Joe but do so and lie there expectantly.
Joe comes to sit in the plastic chair beside me, taking my hand.
She gets some weird gel stuff and rubs it on my now 5 week belly.
She places a weird scanner that looks like the one at my
old school library. Joe rubs soothing patterns with his thumb on the back of my hand it calms me down.
The lady says nothing and moves the 'scanner' around: a picture forming on the screen.
Oh my gosh.
It's my dot.
Our little dot. There, on the screen. The little thing that's going to become our child, our son or daughter.
I blink back tears and look up at Joe and has tears in his own eyes.
'That's our dot Joe.' I whisper happily, smiling through the tears that are now streaming down my face.
He leans down and kisses my cheek. 'I love you so much Emma.' He whispers back.
I kiss his lips tenderly, placing a hand on his cheek and looking into the eyes of someone I love too fucking much to comprehend.
'I love you too Joseph.' I say wiping away some tears.
One day that little dot will be a beautiful baby girl or boy... With Joe's eyes and my hair and... I should stop before I get carried away.
'Right that's that. If I could just take your credentials and we will contact you with 5 to 7 weeks.' The nurse says nasally.

~~~~~~~

Joe and I arrive home and immediately go upstairs, this pregnancy shit makes me tired all the time and I feel exhausted.
I kiss Joe and close my eyes, the darkness welcoming and homely.
I fall into a deep sleep.

A/N: I was going to do another book entirely but... I've become too attached to silly Emma Matthews and I can't stop so - much to the possible happiness of 'Alexa', 'Tilly' and Jamie (possibly also Eric 😂) I will write this book until I can practically go no longer... And then I will write a sequel and a 'triquel' because that is now a word
