Teagan and Aaron are back in Emmerdale, and if you thought things were chaotic for Teagan before, just you wait. (Sequel to 'Little Livesy'; read that before you read this)
Book 2 in the 'Little Livesy' series
I lay in bed at 6:45, awake, before my alarm had even gone off. I was dreading the moment when it would go off, because it would kind of be the official start to the day, and I really don't want today to happen. Because today is the day of my 5 month scan, but it's also the day me and Jacob find out if our baby will even get the chance to take it's first breath. Just the thought makes me want to fall to the ground, sobbing.
At 8:30, my alarm finally went off and I had no choice but to drag myself out of bed. The scan was at 9:15, plus it was a Saturday so Jacob wasn't at school. I hadn't been at school for a couple weeks, due to the pregnancy complications.
I took a quick shower to wake myself up a little more and got myself dressed in a red M&M's sweatshirt, a pair of black and white patterned leggings/jogging bottoms, and a pair of grey Vans high-tops. I put my hair in a messy bun, after I'd dried it, and decided I was done. I was going to the hospital to find out if my baby will live in the early(ish) hours of the morning, so I didn't care too much about my appearance.

I made my way downstairs, where Mum was making a cup of tea and Aaron was sat at the table with a plate of jam and toast.
"Morning." I muttered, taking a seat on the sofa.
"Morning, darling, do you want any breakfast?" Mum asked. I simply shook my head. I was so nervous, just the mention of food made my stomach churn more than it already was.
"I'll eat after we've been to the hospital." I snapped, as I heard the back door open.
"It's just us." The voice of David called out, as he, Jacob and Leyla walked in. Jacob immediately sat next to me on the couch.
"Hey." He greeted me.
"Hi." I muttered, staring into space.
"We should, um, probably get going. It's 9:00 and the drive at least ten minutes long." Aaron announced. Everyone agreed, but I took my time getting up from the couch. I wanted to delay finding out for as long as possible. Everyone headed out, but Jacob pulled me back for a minute.
"Today's gonna be fine." He told me, standing directly in front of me and taking my hands in his.
"What if it's not?" I whispered, feeling tears prick my eyes.
"Then we'll all be here for you." He said, his voice as soft as silk. He pressed a gentle, yet firm kiss to my forehead and we walked outside, my hand never leaving his.
I'm not really sure what Jacob and I are at this point in time. I meant, we do forehead kisses and cheek kisses and sometimes pecks on the lips, but we're not officially a 'couple'. And we haven't properly kissed since the night Aaron and I left for Ireland. Although, I've got more things to be worrying about than my relationship status at the moment.
David and Leyla got in David's car, while Jacob rode in Mum's car with me, her and Aaron. Jacob let me hold his hand for the entire journey, knowing that I had a habit of playing with his fingers when I was nervous or needed a distraction.
When Mum finally pulled up in the hospital car park, I wasn't far from having a panic attack. We all got out of the car, and David and Leyla got out of David's car which was parked next to our's. Jacob seemed to have noticed my heavy breathing as he took my hand and gave it a squeeze.
"Try and stay calm, yeah?" He said softly.
"I'm trying." I breathed. I felt Jacob rub the back of my hand with his thumb, as he lightly kissed my temple.
We walked in and soon enough, I heard my name being called. We'd agreed that Jacob would be coming in with me, while the others waited outside the room, so Jacob kept his hold on my hand as we walked in.
"Hello, I'm Pippa, your sonographer. If you could just lie down for me and lift your shirt while I get everything ready," The sonographer greeted. I was glad she didn't say anything about our age. I laid down on the bed, my whole body trembling, as Pippa set up the transducer and the gel. She was about to place the gel on my exposed belly, but stopped as she saw my terrified and sweaty face, and heard my slightly erratic breathing.
"Look, I know your scared, but you just need to relax, okay? Deep breaths." She said gently. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
"This will be cold," She warned as she put the gel on my belly, and moved the transducer around until she got something. She said nothing as she looked at the screen and did whatever she had to do to find out how our baby was doing. After the longest ten minutes of my life, a smile found it's way to her mouth and she looked at us.
"It looks like your baby is going to be just fine." As soon as those words left her mouth, I felt every scared feeling I'd had over the last few months melt away. I sat up slightly and looked over at Jacob, who had the biggest smile on his face. He then literally threw himself at me, wrapping me in a tight hug. I hugged him back, tears falling down my face from happiness. I began sobbing, and from the way his shoulders moved, I could tell Jacob was crying as well.
We decided not to find out the gender as we wanted it to be a surprise, so Pippa went straight on to telling us that usually, we'd only have one or two scans during pregnancy, but due to circumstances, she wants us to come back in at 7 months to make sure things are okay. After she'd explained everything, we called Mum, Aaron, David and Leyla in.
"Oh no," David frowned upon seeing our tearstained faces. Everyone else also looked at us with sympathy.
"These are tears of happiness." I quickly set them straight, causing everyone's faces to transform into a look of surprise and joy.
"Our baby's going to be okay." Jacob announced. Everyone broke out into smiles.
"That's amazing!" Mum exclaimed, tears filling her own eyes. They all came and hugged me and Jacob individually, and even though they denied it, David and Aaron were also holding in tears, as was Leyla.
For the first time in a long time, I was truly happy. I was going to be a mother, Jacob was going to be a father, Aaron was going to be an uncle, David was going to be (kind of) a grandfather, and Leyla was going to be a great-aunt. Life was good for once.
A/N: Yay, the baby's going to make it! But that doesn't necessarily been things will be smooth sailing from now on. Oh no, life is still going to throw random crap at Teagan (and Jacob), but you'll have to wait and see to find out what :) Anyways, now that the holidays have started for me, I'll hopefully be able to update more than once a week. Until next time lovelies ❤
