Tana's POV
"Brandon, you don't understand!" I'm trying to stay calm right now.
"There's nothing to understand! You want to get rid of our baby! Why the hell would you want to do that?!" He's the one who should be calming down right now.
"I never said I was getting rid of it. When did I say that?" He's mixing my words up. "I only said I didn't feel ready
for it. And you, as my husband should help me with that. Not yell at me because of how I'm feeling!" I stand up, feeling my weak legs underneath me, before storming out of the room. Only to be chased by him.
His eyes are hurt with what I had just said, but he needed to know today, but I don't understand why he doesn't get where
I'm coming from. It's a feeling, not an action I'm actually gonna do, I'd never in a million years give up my baby. I need his help to get me through this.
He wraps his arms around my waist and picks me up, holding me up by my backside. And now I can't help but let the tears out. I wrap my arms around his neck and burry my face on his shoulder and let the water stream down my face. It's been building up and now it wants to be released. He rocks my body back and fourth in his arms, he hates when I cry, he only ever wants to see me happy, and when I'm not he'll do whatever he can to put a smile on my face, and I love him for that.
"Shh..baby, please stop crying.." He takes me into the living room and sits down with me on his lap. He gently pushes my body away a little so he can see my face. He quickly kisses my wet lips before running his thumb across my red cheek, trying to get rid of some of my tears. His smile takes over his face when he sees that I've stopped crying.
"There we go baby.." He pulls me in to a tight hug. I wouldn't want to cry for longer so I'm so glad he helped my stop.
"I'm not going to abort this baby, you know I'd never do that and I wouldn't anyway. I'm just saying, I would have wanted at least another year before we were to go through this again. I was never even expecting to get pregnant this soon, I guess it just took me by surprise and it made me feel this way. I'm happy that we're gonna have a baby, you know I am" I sniffle.
"I'm so happy you just said that. I know you wouldn't do that to our son or daughter. I love you so much" He embraces me in his arms.
----------------
The nurse put the very cold jelly on my belly, making my shiver. Brandon stood next to me, holding my hand tight as we waited to find the sex of our baby. I was so exited for it.
"Mr and Mrs Flowers, are you ready to know?" The kind nurse asked us.
Brandon nods his head and says "yes please.."
I stare at her, waiting for the word 'boy' or 'girl' to come out of her mouth. She made a long pause, probably to make the scene more dramatic.
"You're having a boy! The baby is perfectly fine and healthy" She enlitend us.
Brandon kisses my cheek hard. "Did you hear that?!" He smiled with tears filling his eyes. "Baby, we're having a boy!" He kissed my lips this time as the nurse got rid of the cold jelly on my belly with a nearby towel. As soon as I stood he pulled me into his strong arms, hugging me tight. He couldn't stop smiling, and I can't blame him. In less than 9 months, there will be another member to our family.
After I told Brandon how I was feeling, he assured me that I would be fine. It was just because of the shock of it. But I'm fine about it now. I'm glad that's over.
"Thank you.." Brandon smiled sweetly at the nurse before we left to get into Brandon's car and drive to his parents' house to pick up Ammon and Gunnar so we can go home.
Once we got back, Brandon went straight to the kitchen to make us lunch. Our appointment was at 10:30 this morning and we had to leave at 9:30 so we had time to drop the boys off before going to the hospital.
"When are we gonna tell the boys?" I wrap my arms around Brandon's chest, gently squeezing him as he made food.
Brandon's POV
"We could tell them now if you want" I keeps my focus on putting the food in the oven.
After I'm done we go in the living room, Ammon's playing with his toy cars as Gunnar is in his baby bouncer. Tana picks up Gunnar as I get Ammon.
"Daddy! I was playing toys!" He shouts at me.
"Buddy, mommy and daddy have something to tell you. You can play with your toys later" I calm him down a little before he has a temper tantrum. We don't really need one of those right now.
He stares at me as Gunnar looks around the room, not knowing what's going on.
"You're gonna have a brother buddy!" I smile sweetly at him.
"How?" He asks confused.
"Mommy's pregnant buddy, that's where we were this morning. We had to go to the hospital to see wether you and Gunnar were going to have a brother or a sister."
"I don't want a brother.."
"You will once he's here, look how happy you are now that Gunnar is here. You'll love having another brother to play with. Mommy and daddy are very happy about it, very very happy" I repeat my words. "Are you happy about it buddy?"
He just shrugs his shoulders, I guess it's a lot for a little boy to take in, especially as young as he is. He doesn't know what to think probably.
"Where is he?" His little voice speaks up.
I point to Tana's belly, "he's in there buddy. He has to stay in there for 9 months to grow before he can come and see us. He's only very small right now, so by being in mommy's stomach he can grow and be stronger." I try to explain it as easy as I can.
"How is he in mommy's belly?"
Now what can I say to that? He's way too young to find out how baby's are made.
"Go back and play with your toys, buddy.." I kiss his lips and put him on the floor as he runs back over to his toys and starts rolling a small, dark green car across the floor. Making sound effects to make it as realistic as he can to himself.
