Laura P.O.V.
When I am done crying into Tom's chest I take a minute and wipe my eyes. I look him in the eye and say "I have a doctors appointment tomorrow if you want to go with me. Mum doesn't know yet and I wanted to wait before telling either of you." I say looking down ashamed of myself. I can feel Tom lift my head up by putting his finger under my chin until I am looking into his crystal blue eyes. "I understand why you didn't tell me I just wish you had told me so we could have talked about your concerns." he says. I look down ashamed of myself for not telling him sooner. He kisses my head and I feel better having gotten this off of my chest. We continue to eat talking about our day and enjoying each other's company. When we finish Tom and I do the dishes until we hear the kids start to fuss. We go into the living room and I pick Sylar up as Tom picks up Ellyn and DJ. We sit on the sofa with the kids and I think about how lucky I am. I have a loving mum, a husband who adores me, two younger siblings who are cute as anything and five of the sweetest kids in the world. My life couldn't get any better.
The next morning I am awake before Tom and get dressed and get the kids up and ready for school. As I pick Sylar up out of the pack n play I feel a pair of arms gently snake around my waist. "Good morning love." Tom says kissing my head. "Good morning." I reply picking Sylar up and kissing him on the head. Tom gives me the puppy eyes and fakes hurt. "You chose him over me. I'm hurt." Tom says faking hurt and falling on the bed. I roll my eyes at his dramatics as Brieanna and Dylan run into the room and pounce on top of Tom making him grunt from the unexpected weight. "Good morning daddy." they say smiling at Tom. "Good morning." Tom says bolting up and tickling the kids. "I hate to ruin the fun but we have to get them to school and I have my doctors appointment." I say. The kids and Tom look up at me and pout with their lips sticking out. I am fighting the urge not to pee my pants from laughing so hard at how adorable they all look so I take my phone out of my pocket and take a photo. When I am done I usher the kids out of the room so they can brush their teeth. After they are gone I can't hold it in anymore and I start roaring with laughter. Tom is looking at me and laughing too. We are so busy laughing we don't notice mum standing in the doorway with her eyebrow raised at us. "What in the name of bellatrix lestrange is so funny?" I look at her and show her the photo on my phone and she too starts roaring with laughter. "Tom you are a bad influence on these kids." Mum says holding her stomach from laughing. "Am not." Tom says pouting, and sticking his tongue out at us making us laugh even more. "We need to get going." I say looking at him. "Okay." he says getting off the bed and taking Sylar and walking downstairs where the kids are waiting ready to go to school. After we drop the kids off at school and daycare we head to the doctor's office. When we arrive I check in and sit with Tom nervously waiting. When the doctor calls me in a few minutes later she takes a brief medical history since my last failed pregnancy. "Do you think this pregnancy will last?" Tom asks, I can tell he is nervous same as I am. "I am going to run an ultrasound and see to make sure that the baby is developing normally and is developmentally on track." the doctor replies looking hopeful. She then leaves the room to get the machine and I lay back on the table with Tom holding my hand for support. The doctor returns a few minutes later with the machine and turns it on and rubs cold gel on my abdomen. I watch the doctor as she rubs the probe on my abdomen. I can tell she is smiling and she says "Everything looks fine the baby is developing normally and is on track. The measurements I see are putting you at about fifteen weeks so your due date should be around September twenty-second." I look at Tom and say "Happy early birthday this is the only present you are getting from me." I say smiling at him. "I couldn't ask for anything better." he says smiling and kissing my head. When we are done we leave the office in very high spirits.
