Over The Ocean

Chapter 5 - Surprises

Kate's POV

I am speechless.  I just stand there wide eyed and my mouth is probably open.

"Avi..." I say once again. I feel every emotion posible. I'm angry at him, but also at myself, I'm greatful that he is here, I'm scared for the future...

"Kate. I'm here. And you don't have to worry. I won't cut you out of my life. I'm sorry I let you wonder for so long. I had to take time and think it trough. But I'm here now." He says. All I can do is, step closer and hug him.

I hug him and feel our heartbeats sink up. I feel him in my soul, we connect  without words.  I feel so safe. Everything is in place for a moment.

Then my sister comes down stairs.

"Kate? Where did you...?" She freezes when she sees Avi and me, hugging in the snow on our doorway.

"Could you both come in?" She sarcastically says. I poke my head out of Avi's chest and blush. We awkwardly step inside and the beautiful moment is gone. We are now two really awkward friends with a baby on the way.

The thing is, we haven't reviled our feeling for each other. My sister says there's some strong ones between us, but we haven't spoken about them. We just kinda enjoy talking and forget the world, so it feels like trough your conversations we feel each others love, but never say it out loud. Maybe we're both scared that it won't last?

While we both try to get what has just happened, my sister is furious.  She thought I told Avi trough email, (cause I told her that), and she thinks he ignored it (she might have read your texts).

"How dare you to show up, after 3 months, 3 months ago she emailed you and you didn't even respond!? Now what you want!? Maybe you wanted to wait till the baby's born and then show up "superdad"!?" She doesn't even know how to put normal sentences together.

She angrily pushes Avi away from me and would have kicked him out if I wouldn't have stopped her.

"I didn't write an email!" I say really loud.

"What?" She stops and turns to me.

"I didn't.  I wrote him a letter. I was easier to hide from the paparazzi and it's kinda romantic. You know I'm a romantic..." I feel embarrassed.  She makes a sound of a dragon and stumbles up stairs.

"You two go ahead and go. I can't deal with you right now!!!" She yells and shuts her door.

We awkwardly stand and look at each other. Avi speaks

"Go where?" He feels a little embarresst to ask.

I blush so hard I think the baby's too hot in there.
"To an ultrasound.  The baby gender revival. " I smile and put my hands on my belly.  Under the sweater it's hard to see the little bump.
Avi's face lights up  I have never seen a man so happy.

"I can drive!" He says and moves away from the door. I take my jacket and walk outside. We sit in his car in silence till I ask him

"How did you get here? Don't you have work?" He smiles. He looks so handsome in this light.

"I freaked out a little. Then I didn't know what to do, but I remembered that we have our Christmas holidays off. From December 20th, till January 18th. Then I have to be back for our album recording. But I immediately knew I have to come. So I pretended I don't know anything. Sorry if that hurt you..." He looks at me.

"Turn there," I point, "It's okay. I was upset, but it's okay now. We're here." Avi stopped the car and we got out. There were few cars in the parking lot.

The automatic doors opened and we went in. I registered and we sat down in the waiting room.

"So what do you want it to be?" Avi turns to me with a curious smile.

"I don't really care. I didn't even think I will have kids. I thought I will never be mentally ready for them even though I love children. So I will be happy with whatever as long as the baby's healthy. But I think it will be a girl." I smirk.

"Oh, is that so?" He laughs.
"Yeah. In our family there's more girls so..." I giggle.

"But in mine we are more boys than girls. Even though I have a sister..." He tells me as the doctor comes to us.

"I guess it's still fifty / fifty, isn't it?" My doctor jokes. She's so funny.

"Yeah, I guess" I laugh.

"Please, come in!" She says. We stand up and follow her.

"So, how is this handsome guy?" She asks me and jokingly pushes me with her elbow.

"The baby's father." I blush.
"Oh, is that so! The baby must be a lucky one. He will be a prince with his parents looking like this!" We both look at each other and blush.

"So it's a boy?" Avi asks as he sits next to me and we look at the screen.

"Well, the baby has not grown that much and it's still hard to tell. I'm sorry.." she looks at us. I must look really worried.

"Baby looks healthy. I don't see any difficulties, it's just slow in growth, if he doesn't start to grow in the next few weeks you'll have to come back for some tests. See why is he not growing. It will be okay, I can promise." She lovingly smiles. Avi takes my hand and looks at me. We smile to each other and I can feel the baby moving.

"Look, see? He moved! Did you feel it?" The doctor smiles.

"Yes, I did!" I laugh of relief.

We get new ultrasounds if the baby and leave the hospital. I feel like we all are really tired so we head home.

__________

"Will it be okay if you sleep on the couch? " I ask.

"Yeah, totally!" Avi smiles. I get him a blanket and pillow, he makes his bed.

"Tomorrow we will discuss everything.  It's late, goodnight." I blush.

"Can I hug you?" He stretches his arms towards me. I let him hug me, because I love his hugs. I could stay in them forever. When we let go, he touches my belly, leans in and kisses it.

"Grow faster, my little baby!" He whispers. I feel tears in my eyes. He's already attached to the baby.

I feel the baby kick. Walking up stares I cry and giggle from joy.
