Schreved

Chapter 7

"How are we doing today, Your Majesties?" Dr. Ansel asked.
"Not to well. You see America...well...uh...erm...I guess what I'm trying to say is....well... She's pregnant!" Maxon said excitedly. I did not want the first person to know about our baby was the doctor, but I had no choice.
"Well congratulations Mr and Mrs Schreve! I am very happy for you!" He said, a big smile on his face.
"But that's not the reason why we are here," he quickly corrected himself,"well it is but for a much different reason. You see, America and I just got back from our honeymoon in Italy. When we walked through the doors her mother, sister, and a friend came around the corner to talk I guess. Mer seemed fine until her mother said she was acting different. Then she blew up and fainted in my arms."
Maxon had the saddest look in his eye, and it made my heart ach.
"I brought her here to make sure that she and the baby are in good condition," he added. Doctor Ansel seemed to be deep in thought, thinking about the situation.
"Well I'll have to do a sonogram first, just to get a good read on the baby. Then I'll check Her Majesty." He said, though he did have a very worried expression on his face.

When I got in the sonogram chair thingy that I was supposed to sit in, I was immediately uncomfortable. He asked me to pull up my shirt and I did. He rubbed a cold jelly type substance on my abdomen, then rubbed a weird stick over the jell.
On the black and white screen I saw nothing, but the doctor started pointing at a little speck sitting close to the bottom edge.
"There, Your Majesties, is you baby."he got a confused look on his face."Hold on a second."
Maxon shifted uncomfortably in the chair I was sitting in and squeezed my hand even tighter. I looked at him and he kissed my forehead, whispering 'I love you' over and over.'
"I might be mistaken, but it seems like you have two little peanuts in there!" He said excitedly. I looked at Maxon who had tears in his eyes. We weren't just going to be parents to one child but to two! I was so, so happy.
"Now don't get your hopes up yet,"I knew my smile must have disappeared but I listened on." I could be mistaken, but if I'm not, things will take a little more time than any usual baby. We won't know the genders as soon and we would if it were one baby in there, but we will know. And that means you will need more rest, and less stress." He suggested.
"As she should! We will shorten your work day and you shall always have the best hands on care you could get!"
Maxon was so excited for this I could tell.
"I'll have all my maids, my sisters and my mom. I think I'll be okay," I said jokingly.
"And I do advise you to take some of the pregnancy booklets from our side there is a whole bunch of them out there!" The doctor was way pleased." And are we going to be telling anybody about this?" Maxon and I look at each other.
"No not yet, but when we do we will be the one to tell everybody we know. And please don't let it slip." I said assuringly. He nodded his head.
"Okay, but you will need to come in, say, about every four weeks just to make sure everything is stable and in good condition." He wiped off my stomach with a smooth paper towel and I pulled my shirt down.
Maxon shook Doctor Ansel's hand and whispered something to him that I couldn't here.
"I want to congratulate you again, Your Majesties." He said as he left the room. Maxon and I just stared at the screen with the two tiny peanuts on it. My life is just starting to become perfect.

Five weeks later (six weeks pregnant)
I wake up to my stomach twisting and a burning feeling in my throat. I rush out of bed and into the bathroom. I know I'm not going to make it, so I puke in the sink. I tried not to wake Maxon, but his warm hands pull back my hair. His finger tips brush my collar bone, and it makes me shudder.
"Darling, are you alright?" He asked, apparently oblivious to me puking in the sink.
"No. No I'm not okay. I'm spewing up everything that I-" more puke. "Everything that I have in my stomach and I'm pregnant. No I'm not alright!" I shouted. I walked back to the room, laying on the soft, comfortable bed in our room. I felt him come and sit by me, pulling strands of hair out of my face.
"I know. I know it's hard. But trust me if I could stop your pain all together I would. I don't like seeing you like this." He said.
Totally ignoring him is said,"Will you go get me some strawberry tarts and ham please?" He chuckled, kissed my sweaty forehead once, my stomach twice, pecked me on the lips and left.
I got up, undressed myself, and got in the shower. I looked down at my toes as I was showering, and saw a bump coming off of my normally slim figure. I immediately jumped out of the shower and ran to the mirror.
The where my flat stomach should be, was a bump. It was probably the size of half a watermelon but it was still very noticeable.
I ran to the closet put on my undergarments, a very tight blue shirt and some pants. I put my hair in a ponytail and went to find Maxon.
As soon as I opened my door, Maxon was standing there with a tray filled with strawberry tarts, ham, and white milk. Everything that I loved was in one please at a time.
"Hello, beautiful." He said smirking.
"Hello, my handsome/awesome/amazing husband and soon to be father."I couldn't help but smile." I have a surprise for you, and you'll like this one." He wiggled his eyebrows. He always did that when he was curious. I pulled him inside, setting the tray of food on the table. I say him on the bed, so he would be facing me. He sat his drink in the ground.
"Okay where is it? What is the surprise?" He asked holding out his hands.
"Well it's nothing that I can actually give you. It's something that you can see but couldn't see before, or at least I haven't noticed it." I said smiling and jumping up and down on my tip toes.
"Oookkkaaayyy," he said, I could hear the confusion in his voice.
I turned to the side." So do you see anything different?" I asked
"No, not really."
"What do you mean 'not really'?"I asked.
"I mean you look fa-" he realized what he was about to say and put two and two together. He gasped. Maxon rushed up to me kneeled in front of me and put both hands on my stomach. He kisses I so many times I couldn't count. When he finally stood up, he grabbed both sides of my face and kissed me long and delicately.
"Maybe it's time we have another doctors appointment."
