Chapter 4
A month had passed since Ross and Laura tried to have a baby, and it didn't work any of the times they tried. Laura was starting to worry more everyday it passed and Ross was starting to get frustrated.
"Maybe we should go to the doctor's" Laura suggested. Ross dropped himself on the sofa, occupying all the thing.
"I don't think it's something serious" he sat up "I think it's just bad luck"
"5 times?" Laura looked at him, with a sarcastic look on her eyes "There may be something wrong about us, Ross"
"Like what?"
She didn't speak. She didn't want to say the words she was trying to avoid hearing. No, she couldn't be sterile. Neither could Ross. More like she didn't want any of them to be sterile.
"Okay we will go as soon as possible" Ross coughed and hugged Laura by her shoulders, kissing the top of her head afterwards.
"Let's grab something to eat" he suggested "I'm starving"
"I won't eat much" Laura said "I'm not feeling very well" she placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed it carefully.
"Maybe you're pregnant after all?" Ross gave her a small smile and brought her closer to his body, pressing her back against his front.
"I doubt it" she returned him the same smile he had given her "It's just sickness"
They stayed like that, Ross kissing Laura's neck for a while, her arms rubbing his, them placed on her stomach, rubbing it carefully. Laura closed her eyes and rested her head on Ross' neck; or as close as his neck as possible, since she was way shorter than him. Laura felt safe in Ross' arms. She loved that place and she was never gonna leave it.
"Well kids" Dr. Jon, the family doctor, spoke to Ross and Laura as he sat down on his desk, file in hand. He looked down at Laura "You're not pregnant at the moment but don't worry, it has a really easy reason"
Ross grabbed Laura's hand and squeezed it.
"The reason is stress" Ross sighed deeply in relief "A very big amount of stress coming from you two"
Dr. Jon pointed at the couple with two fingers "Our body is very wise, and believe it or not, even the smallest things, the most insignificant thing that happens to us during the day, can affect the body"
Laura and Ross looked at each other. It's true that Ross has been really stressed out because of R5 rehearsals and future concerts, and Laura's been stressed out by the fact that she has a few photoshoots coming soon and the thought of perhaps being sterile was killing her.
"What can we do to fix it?" Ross asked and squeezed his wife's hand again.
"I can prescribe you some pills and you can try again in three days" he said, wrote down the name of the pills and gave the paper to Laura afterwards.
"Will them affect the baby or something when I actually get pregnant?" She asked, hoping the answer was no.
"It won't" Dr. Jon said "It's just to help you relax, chill a little" he smirked.
But Ross didn't want to chill out, not even a little. Five days after taking the first pill, he had a concert in Fresno and he was nervous as hell. Maybe because they haven't played in a while? He didn't know why, but it didn't stop him from being skittish.
And he wasn't nervous only because of the concert.
"Ross, I'm gonna be okay" Laura said one more time, but it didn't seem to calm the blonde down.
"Are you sure?" He asked one more time "Maybe you can stay at Dove's or something"
Laura chuckled "How old do you think I am? 10?"
Ross sighed deeply and run a hand through his hair, dropping himself down on the couch.
"What's the matter?" Laura asked him while rubbing his arm slowly. She made him shiver, and she noticed that.
"I just don't like the idea of you staying all alone at night" he said "I know you're 27 but it doesn't mean I can't be worried about you. Which I am. Very much"
Laura gave him a small smile and hugged him by his shoulders, resting her head on his shoulder.
"I'm gonna be alright" she mid-whispered "It's just one night, Ross. Nothing bad will happen"
"I will come back as soon as I can in the morning"
Laura rolled her eyes playfully. He was always like that.
"Damn it, Ross" she punched him in the arm "Stop acting like my dad"
He smiled "I love you too much"
"I love you too" she kissed his nose and grabbed his hand.
"Now let's pack your clothes" she said in a extremely hyper tone. He rolled her eyes; how could she be so excited about packing...clothes? He found that very cute. As cute as the other 73926292 things "typical-Laura".
Ross stopped her just about when they were reaching the stairs and brought her closer to his body, and carrying her on his arms, upstairs. Laura giggled and buried her face on the crook of his neck, pecking it from time to time.
He dropped her down on their bed and smirked.
"I have 3 hours before I leave" he said, leaning in closer to Laura "And it's been 5 days since we took the pills"
Laura giggled. She knew what he was saying "Take your shirt off" she demanded, and he didn't think about it twice.
One minute later, all their clothes were spread all over the room.
"Have a nice trip" Laura stood on her tip toes and kissed Ross goodbye. He liked her kisses, he just didn't like when they meant what this one meant.
"I'll text you when we get there" he put his guitar case over his shoulder "In less than 4 hours"
She smiled "I will be fine"
"Call me if something goes wrong, okay?" Ross kissed her forehead.
"Okay okay" she looked up at his eyes "I know the rules"
They kissed passionately for a while until they heard a vehicle pulling into the driveway and they had to break the kiss. More like make out session.
"I love you" he whispered on her ear, making her shiver.
"I love you too" she whispered back and kissed his cheek one more time.
Ross walked towards the tour bus and once he put all the bags in its back, he blew a kiss in Laura's direction. She waved at him and blew a few kisses to him as well.
And with that he was gone. She locked the main door and rested her back against it.
"It's just for less than a day" she said to herself and glanced at the kitchen's clock.
It was 3pm. Which meant that Ross would arrive to Fresno at 7pm and he would be back in the morning. She didn't like the idea of staying alone at night, but what could she do about it? She hadn't admitted it before because she didn't want Ross to get stressed or to be worried about her.
He needed to focus on that concert. Plus, it would be alright. She locked all the windows and doors, went upstairs to her room and grabbed her laptop. Raini was online in Skype. Perfect.
So how was it?? I will upload as soon as I can, maybe later today or tomorrow :)
