Vanessa's Baby

Positive

I gave mom a ride to the doctors office and eventually she talked me into going in with her. "It's gonna be fun!"

"Getting freezing cold gel spread on your stomach and some strange old man looking at your vagina sounds fun to you."

"Well he's seen my vagina before so it should be too strange"

"Can we stop saying vagina now?" I laughed and held the door open for her. While she checked herself in, I walked over to the small blue seats and picked up a mothering magazine. Mom walked over and sat beside me holding her chest "God my boobs are sore"

"Please don't tell me that sort of stuff"

She nudged me in the arm with her elbow and giggled "oh c'mon, you're gonna be dealing with it someday"

"No. No I am not"

"Why not?"

"Because it's stressful as hell and it ruins your body"

"Well what about adoption, would you adopt a kid?"

"Yeah maybe, I don't know"

The small door to the hallway opened and a short little nurse stepped out with a clipboard and pen. "Bayer?"

We stood up and let her lead us to a small room with a bunch of ultrasound equipment and a examination table with stirrups at the end it. While we waited for Dr. Morello, I did my best to keep her from getting anxious "hey look" I said putting a penis diagram on my head "I'm a dickhead"

We both started laughing like children and had no reason to act the way be did but it was appropriate for two aspiring comedians. "Hello ladies, ready to see some babies" our hysterical laughter was interrupted by the ''baby-ologist'' walking in.

I immediately pulled the dick off of my head and pressed my lips together trying my hardest not to laugh, "Vanessa if you'll just lay back and get comfortable we can get started!"

"Holy- wow that's cold" she said squeezing my hand.

"Ok we're all set." He put the sonogram wand onto her stomach and started to move it slowly up and down moving from one side to another "there they are! And look who's behind them!"

"WHAT?!"

"Ha! Just kidding, classic joke"

"That's not funny." Mom narrowed her eyes looking as serious as possible.

"Oh my god, wait there actually is another one" he pointed to another small speck on the screen and opened his mouth happily.

"Very funny"

"No I'm serious"

"WHAT?!"

"Gotcha!"

"STOP IT! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Anyhow, your baby looks healthy so far. I would like you to come in at least once a week for the first trimester, then we can bump it down to every other week"

"Sounds good, can I put my pants back on?"

He nodded and handed her a napkin to wipe her stomach with. She thanked him and established all of her appointments for the first two months. "Wait, why didn't dad come?"

"Because he doesn't know yet"

"What?! You need to tell him!"

"I know, that's why we're all going out tonight for dinner."

At dinner.

I couldn't help but smile the whole time we were at the table eating, my face eventually started going numb and I had to bring it down a little. I guess I being a little obvious that something was up because mom kept kicking me from under the table. "Do I need to know something?"

My smile grew wider and I could feel myself about to burst "no."

"Liv are you sick" mom tried to play it off as if nothing was about to happen. "Alright I'm full, let's get the check and get out of here"

We left and started home but "hey hon, I left something at the office, can you help me bring it out?"

My heart was pounding as we pulled up into the studio, we all stepped out of the car and mad our way into 8h. Mom held dads hand and guided him to her office "stay here" she stopped him with her hand and ran to her office "okay come here" I followed him into the small room, the girls were standing in a line holding positive tests, I looked up and saw the sign, it said "I'm positive I'm pregnant" dad read it and started to tear up. "Really?"

"Yeah" she barely whispered with a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Vanessa, are you sure"

"I'm pretty positive" she handed him all three of the tests and started to cry again.

He grabbed her hips and pulled her close, at first it was just an innocent kiss but things escalated quickly and I ended up having to go home with Cecily.
