Oh my, 5 more chapters... Let shit begin :)

70. Rowan.

"Baby" Austin shakes my shoulder and I hum in response, burying my face into my pillow.

"I'm headed to work now, call me when you're leaving the doctors okay?" He kisses my forehead.

"Okay" I mumble into the pillow "I love you"

"I love you" He says as he walks out of the room, and I fall back asleep, waiting for my alarm to wake me back up. When it goes off, I sit up and stretch out my limbs with a yawn. I climb out of bed and go to use the bathroom, before changing into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I walk out to my car and get in driving to my doctors office, checking in and sitting in the waiting room.

"Rowan Mendoza" A nurse calls and I follow her back to a room, sitting in silence as she checks my vitals "The doctor will be in shortly"  She smiles, walking out of the room, I sit alone until my doctor walks into the room, a bright smile on his face.

"My Spanish pumpkin" He grins, hugging me tightly.

"Good morning"

"How are you?"

"I'm great" I laugh, and he nods.

"Good, good. So this is the check up after being off birth control correct?" He flips over pages on his clip board.

"Yes"

"And, how's it going?" He asks.

"It's still the same" I shrug "It's about once every two months or so"

"Alright, well, now we have other options. You continue on what you're on, or you can do a continuous which will regulate until it eventually stops, it's up to you really" He pulls out a plastic cup "You know the drill" He hands it to me with a chuckle, pointing to the bathroom. I walk in and carefully pee in the cup, screwing on the lid and washing my hands, bringing him the cup.

"Thank you" He says, walking to some weird machine that's sitting on the counter. He presses buttons and sits the cup on the thing and I become very confused as to what's going on. The machine beeps, and he turns around, walking back over to me, a pen in his hand as he writes on the clipboard.

"Are you sexually active?" He asks.

"Yes" I nod.

"And do you use protection?"

"I do not" I shake my head.

"Alright" He nods "Well, that explains a lot"

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You Darling, are pregnant" He says, and my eyes widen.

"That's impossible" I shake my head in disbelief.

"Apparently not" He shrugs.

"But, my boyfriend can't have kids"  I look at him in confusion "How is that possible?"

"He was either misdiagnosed, or you have yourself a little miracle" He smiles, and I can't help but smile back.

"Is this going to like cause... problems?" I ask "With my baby?" I add, but he shakes his head.

"No it's highly unlikely there will be any problems just because he was supposedly sterile"

"Oh, good" I breathe out in relief "Does that thingy tell you how pregnant I am?"

"About 4 weeks it says" He answers, and I nod.

"Wow, this is so great" I grin.

"Congratulations" He gives me a tight hug "Now go tell your boyfriend the amazing news" He grins "And, I'll set up a schedule for ultrasounds and stuff"
