Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter fifty five

Steven's P.O.V
"They want to see us on Wednesday..." I spoke, rubbing my face in annoyance since it wasn't a straight answer.

I heard Lauren sigh then slowly lean her head on my shoulder. I grabbed my laptop and started to browse the internet. Glancing to Lauren, I saw her eyes struggle to stay open making me smile. I kissed her head making her also smile and slowly close her eyes.

"What're you looking at?" I barely heard her mumble as I continued scrolling.

"Houses." I said simply, seeing her grin and scoot closer.

After around an hour I looked over to Lauren to see that she was out. I chuckled to myself and carefully placed my laptop down and picked her up, trying not to wake her. She clung onto me in her sleep, like she was gonna fall and her life depended on it. I slowly but surely made my way upstairs and laid her down.

"Laur?" I whispered into her ear, kneeling down next to her. She stirred and groaned, but kept her eyes closed. "Baby, you've got your clothes still on... you need to change into your pjs." I spoke, sounding some what like a parent but at this moment, I wasn't bothered.

"Leave it..." she whispered, almost too quiet to hear. I uttered an "okay" and laid beside her, pulling her close as she snuggled her face into the crook of my neck. I laid one more lingering kiss on her forehead before laying with her for a while. Since it was only around five or six in the evening, I wasn't too tired. So I just laid there, holding the love of my life and my unborn child close to me, not ever wanting to let go.

Eventually, I had to get up and make my way downstairs, making myself something to eat. In other words, a peanut butter sandwich. I sat down at our cold, glass table and went online, once again, and looked at houses. After around one hour, I decided to save the the links to the houses I found and take a picture of the pictures on the computer screens of the rooms so I could easily show Lauren. I went to the sink and dropped my plate in carefully, slowly turning the water on waiting it to turn warm. I jumped slightly when I felt a pair of warm arms wrap around my waist. I soon calmed when I realised it's was Lauren, since it wouldn't be anyone else. I felt her kiss my back softly, as I turned around and wrapped my arms around her shoulders.

"You sleep okay?" I said, holding her close as she started to shiver.

"Yeah..." she spoke with the shakiness in her voice from the cold she was feeling.

"I've looked at some houses... I found a good one." I said smiling, soon seeing the smile transferred onto her face.

"Really? Tell me." She mumbled, looking up at me from slightly below.

"Well... it's got four rooms. A decent kitchen, bathroom and dining room. And the living room looks good too. The garden has a few weeds and that but it's quiet spacious. It's perfect for us." I said, sounding cheerful about this one thing. She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"We can look at it soon... I think you're onto something." She grinned.

Lauren's P.O.V
The next two days flew by and Wednesday was soon on our doorstep. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, this is the most worried I've been in weeks, maybe even months. I was hoping and paying that our little bundle of joy would be able to see the world, to be able to take its first steps... say it's first words... Hope is overrated. But right now, that's what I'm living on. Hope.

I found myself sitting in the same room, in the same position, with the same pit of worry in my stomach. At a fast pace, I was tapping my foot on the small metal bar that's lies under the bed to keep it together and stable. It made a quiet but quick paced tapping noise but it soon came to a halt when the nurse came into the room, greeting me and Steven, who was sat in a chair close to the desk, before sitting down. After a few moments of silence, she finally found the paper work and had it up on the computer screen, just in case one was wrong. She asked me for my full name, age and address like they usually do at appointments like this.

"So?" I asked frantically, not wanting to waste another minute without knowing.

"Well... as you know we wanted to take more tests. Now, I don't want you to think that we did this because something was wrong, we were simply taking precautions due to the fact that we can't take any risks in these kinds of situations. But in this case... it isn't a big serious matter." She spoke with a smile, earning a sigh of relief to escape my mouth, along with Steven's also. I muttered a small "thank god" to myself, followed by another sigh.

"D-do you have the gender?" Steven spoke up, looking to me then back to the nurse.

"I do. But it is up to you two if you would like to know. Some people like to know, they like to get prepared. Get everything in pink or blue. But some others like a surprise. It's all up to you." She smiled once more.

Steven looked at me, basically asking if I wanted to or not without saying a word. I know that he's dying to know. So why would I take that from him? "If you want to then I'm okay with it." I chirped, quickly getting excited to know if there was gonna be a little girl or a little boy running around in a matter of months.

"Well I'm glad to say... that your baby girl is doing just fine. She's a little small than she is expected to be and may or may not need help with her breathing when she's born, but we can cross that bridge when we get there." She finished, making me cover my mouth with my hand. The overwhelming feeling of having a baby girl had my eyes in tears. Once Steven had processed what she said, he rushed over and tackled me in a hug.

We both had tears in our eyes, mine already falling out and down my face, but Steve was trying to be a man which made me smile and laugh slightly.

"But there is one more tiny thing I need to tell you." The nurse said in slightly more serious time to get our attention. She succeeded since we both turned our heads to look at her, wondering what the problem was. Or if it was a problem.

"Your baby boy is perfectly fine too."
