I place the pool photo down and pick up the next one, oh you really did love taking pictures of me, didn't you Simon?
This was one of the best days of both of our lives. The happiest day.
The day we found out we were pregnant with our beautiful son.
Oh why couldn't you have stayed Simon?
16th July 2012
"Simon! It's an emergency!" I yell up the stairs, the unused pregnancy test in my hand.
"What's wrong?" He says as he walks down, he stops once he sees the test in my hand.
"Are you-" he starts to say but I cut him off.
"I don't know yet, I was waiting for you so I could take it."
"Ok well go take it!" He seems excited but quite frankly I'm not.
I walk into the bathroom and he follows in behind me.
"Ok cool watch me pee." I say as I pull my pants down and sit on the toilet.
"Are you peeing yet?"
"Simon does it sound like I'm peeing? I don't even need to go."
"Well come on push the pee out and pee on that stick girl!"
"You're giving me stage fright, I can't pee with you watching."
He quickly turns around when I say that, what a loser, I think to myself as I pee on the stick, scared of getting pee on my hand, well I mean I might have to get used to having pee on me of this thing is positive.
I lay the test down flat and wash my hands.
"Ok so how long do we have to wait?" He asks after a couple of seconds of pure silence.
"A few minutes I guess."
"That's too long!" He whines and I roll my eyes, walking out of the bathroom.
"Simon?"
"Yes my darling grumpy girlfriend?"
"Are you happy about this?"
"I mean yeah, aren't you?"
"I'm fucking scared! I'm only 24!"
"And? That doesn't matter. Y'know you're going to be an amazing mum right?" I smile at him and he kisses my forehead gently.
Another few minutes pass and I get up and go to the bathroom, putting my hand up, signalling Simon not to move.
I walk in and pick up the test, I look at it and the result immediately makes me cry.
"Simon!" I yell into the living room.
He walks in and when he sees my face he knows straight away that it's positive.
He takes me into a hug and kisses my forehead.
"It'll be ok babe, we're going to be great at this parenting thing." He says and I pull away from the hug.
I walk out of the bathroom, the test still in my hand, I sit on the sofa and put my face in my hands.
"Simon I think I'm happy, I'm not even sure right now."
"Well I'm happy so you don't have to worry about that."
"I know you're happy."
"We're going to be parents Delly!"
"I know Simon, I know."
We spend the rest of that day talking about the possibilities of our future parenthood.
After a while of being stuck inside we decide to go out onto the porch since it's a nice day.
I see Simon grab his Polaroid camera and chuckle softly to myself.
"Baby! I want to take some cute ass pictures of you!" He says to me as I sit down on the step, cup in hand.
I stay silent and wait for him to do his thing.
I just have a straight face so he yells "Smile for me!" And I do smile, my first proper smile that day.
He walks over to me with the picture in hand, waiting for it to develop.
"A picture of the first day of our new adventure."
"I love you Simon and I love our little peanut."
Enjoy, chapter four will be up soon xx
