Beyond the Silence (Nyle Dimarco fan-Fiction)

Chapter 39 unedited

Nyle

My week is gone in a blur of photographs and interview after interview. Sel has been vomiting for three straight days. I had to take her to the hospital for fluids in an IV. My poor baby has not been able to hold anything down she is completely miserable. Our audiologist appointment is tomorrow hopefully Sel will feel better by then. Gilbert will be coming as my interpreter to the appointment.

We go and check into our appointment and I am glad that Sel is feeling better. We wait for a few minutes and they bring us back to an office. Gilbert stands behind the audiologist who does not look friendly at all.

"I am Sharon." She says and Gilbert interprets.

"I am Selena and this is my boyfriend Nyle." Sel says and signs. The woman doesn't even look up. I think wow this lady is rude but hey I could be wrong. I look at Sel and she looks confused too.

"Let's get started. Nyle do you use hearing aids?"

"No I am profoundly deaf so they would not work on me," I sign.

"How many deaf family members do you have?"

"My entire family."

"Ok so a chances of having deaf babies is really high. We will do extensive testing within hours of birth. We will know the results that same day," she says and we nod at her. "So I will go over two options today. First one is hearing aids, we will know if the babies will benefit from them after testing them. The second one and in my opinion the best option is the Cochlear Implant."

"Absolutely not!" I sign.

"No we decided that is not an option for us," Sel says.

"Don't you want your babies to be able to have a normal life and fighting chance of normalcy." she says. I am getting angry and my jaw is clench tight. I'm squeezing Sel's hand. She nods to me letting me know it's ok to speak my mind.

"Are you trying to say that being deaf is a horrible thing and that it's not normal? I can do things that anyone else can do lady! How dare you!" I sign and stand up with Sel by my side.

"Sir I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying," she says.

"No I did not misunderstand a damn thing!" I sign and Sel rubs my back calming me.

"My mama always told me that God does not make junk or mistakes. My babies will be perfect hearing or not. We will be making the decision for our babies not you!" Sel says. "This man is amazing and he just showed the world that nothing can hold him back and we will teach our babies the same thing," she says. I am beyond proud of her. I grab her by the hand and we leave Sharon with her jaw on the floor.

Five months later

I am exhausted but I need to hurry home to Sel. We have an important event this weekend, our gender reveal party. We had an ultrasound a few weeks ago but I had to leave for Milan for Fashion week. We are excited to find out what we are having. Since Sel and I have been together we have only had one real argument: her work schedule. She had been working double shifts until it made her so ill that she had to be hospitalized. I pleaded with her to cut back but she is as stubborn as I am she went back to work and collapsed. Dr. Young put her on bed rest or house arrest as Sel called it.

Finally pulling into our driveway I am so excited to be home and be with Sel. I go into the house Samson and Delilah greet me with wagging tails. I have trained them to understand a few signs. I signed snack and they run to the pantry and sit until I get them their snacks. I find Sel watching TV in the living room.

"Look babe I am on the baby bump watch list!" she signs and points to the TV. I look and see a photo of us. Her purse is clutched in front of her and I am holding her hand so she is slightly behind me. This makes us laugh.

"Wow! Are you ready to make it public?" I sign as lie my head on her now smaller lap. I feel Sel poking my head. "Why are you poking my head babe?"

"What? I am not poking your head silly!" she signs and it happens again. I sit up quickly and place my hand over her belly. I feel our babies kicking!

"I feel them!" I sign getting teary eyed.

"It's amazing isn't it!" she signs and I nod. "Babe if you want to announce it I am ok with it."

I grab my phone excitedly and find the newest Yu Tsai maternity photo shoot. The photo was taken a few weeks ago. Sel is wearing a lace bra and matching long lace skirt. She looks beautiful in the photo. Her belly is exposed and I am kissing her tummy. I post it on Instagram the caption reads: Surprise! Please say hello to our babies.......Yes I said babies.
