"Are you nervous?" I asked Bella, my hands folded in my lap with my elbows rested on my knees.

"A little," She shrugged, looking down at her stomach. "I'm more relieved that I'm actually pregnant...now this is the exciting part, I think? I don't know...maybe I am nervous."

"Yeah, I guess that's true."

"You're nervous, aren't you?" Bella cooed, reaching her hand out to touch my cheek. "Why are you nervous? Justin Bieber never gets nervous."

"Yes I do," I sat up straight, taking her hand into mine. "Like when I proposed? Terrified. Absolutely terrified - and when I tried to win you back, once again - terrified."

"Aw, well there's no reason to be nervous now."

"Uh huh," I nodded, pressing my lips to her hand. "I'm seeing my baby for the first time. I knew you were pregnant - but today is like a confirmation that I'm really going to be a dad. I just don't want to screw it up, you know? I don't want to put our kids what I went through, what you went through."

"And what have you told me time and time again about that?"

"That we're not our parents - I know." A smile curled along my lips, and this time I stood up to kiss Bella on the lips. "You're right. I'm still scared."

"It's okay to be scared. I think it's good to be scared. It means you care."

"Okay, Isabelle." Bella's doctor walked back in, and I sat back down, moving the padding of my thumb along Bella's hand. "i just have to ask you some questions regarding your medical history and then we can move on to the other stuff."

"Alrighty." Bella adjusted herself a little, her grip tightening on my hand.

"Are you aware of any contagious diseases in your family?"

"No."

"Do you have any pre-existing conditions?"

"Nope." She shook her head, staring at the doctor.

"Have you ever been pregnant before?"

"Uh, no." I could tell by the look on Bella's face and from her fidgetingthat she was nervous.

While I knew she was nervous, Bella still answered all of the questions that came her way, and I was impressed. I didn't know how she was doing any of this. I couldn't.

"Do you have any idea when the baby was conceived or when you last period was? If not, we'll have to figure it out from the ultra sound."

"July 19th - when the baby was conceived." Bella whispered, playing with our hands.

"Awesome, then we should have a pretty accurate due date for you." She went over to the computer, and for the first time since the doctor came in, Bella looked at me.

"Relax." I mouthed, kissing her hand again.

"Alright, we just need to get your weight, do a pap smear and breast exam, and then we should be able to do an ultra sound to see the baby. Here's a gown for you to change into and I'll be right back."
