Floral & Fading (Perrentes M-Preg)

Chapter Eleven

Dec 4th, 2012

"Mike I swear to god if we're late for this appointment I will kill you!" I yell and I hear him laugh as he walks down the stairs with skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and a beanie on. I look at his feet and see his read Vans and smile. "You look like we're at Warped Tour. It's December Mike." I say and he shrugs.

"I'm good," he says walking over to me and pressing a kiss to my cheek. I roll my eyes then he grabs my hand and we head out of the house. I walk to the car with him then get in. Mike gets in as well and starts the radio. We jam out to it and dance in our seats slightly as we drive. It's been about a week since Thanksgiving and today is the appointment with Dr. Roseland to check on the little thing in there.

It's weird to never know what's going on with the thing inside you unless you go to a doctor. "So we have about a month and a half left till you feel comfortable with telling the family," Mike says and I nod my head. The more I think about it by the time we tell them I'll almost be able to tell them the gender of the baby.

"Yeah. I think we'll do it as a celebration of my fourteenth week then once we find out the gender; if you want to find out the gender that is, we'll have a party of some sort." I explained thinking it through. I'm sure the family would be excited to throw a party.

"That sounds like a good plan and I do want to find out the gender. Do you?" he asks and I look over at him and nod my head slowly thinking over my two options. I'm the kind of person who likes to be prepared and have everything ready. Yes, I want to know the gender so I can get the nursery ready.

"Yeah. I want to know." I say and he smiles.

"Thank god cause I don't know how I would handle waiting until the day little thing was born. I would lose all self-restraint and make the doctor tell me," he says and I laugh rolling my eyes. He laughs then puts one of his hands on my thighs as he drives. I lean back in the chair then look over and out the window. We're now on the highway headed to the doctor's office. "Do you realize that in like Nine says we would have officially been together for two whole months," he says and I look over at him then groans.

"I'm pregnant and we've only been together not even a full two months," I say and he smiles then pats my leg.

"We've known one another for years though," he says and I sigh then nod my head. I take in a deep breath then sighed.

"You're right. It's just weird." I say and Mike laughs again.

"Do you really think how long we've been together is the weird part of this? You're a man Tony and you're carrying our child," he says and I glare at him. He gives me a half assed smile and I flip him off. Another booming laugh leaves Mike and I smile as I look him over. "I love you, Tony," he says.

"Love you too Mike," I say then look around and see that we're pulling into the doctor's office. A huge smile goes across my face as Mike parks the car then I quickly get out. Mike and I hurry inside then get signed in. The first time we were here we were nervous and not sure what to do but now we can't wait to see our little thing. We've gotten very attached to it but we're still scared for a few more weeks. Just a little under a month and a half and then we're safer and get to tell our family.

After sitting in a chair for a while the nurse calls us back and does the normal nursery stuff to me. My blood pressure, weight, and all that. Soon enough the doctor comes in and has a huge smile on her face. Her bright red hair was up in a messy bun and her green eyes were bright and happy. All in all, she's a good doctor. "Hello Tony and Mike!" she says and we laugh.

"Hey, Doc," Mike says and she laughs then sits down on her rolly chair.

"Alright, Tony. How have you been?" she asks and I smile as my hand goes to my stomach and I take a deep breath and smile.

"Um good. I've been doing way too much google searching and found out a lot. Like I didn't know bumps didn't start until around 10 to twelve weeks and I also didn't know that we couldn't hear the heartbeat until around ten weeks." I say and she nods her head with an amused smile.

"Very good. Now has anything happened physically to you? Morning sickness, cravings, cramps?" she asks and I nod my head.

"Every morning without fail I'm sick and I really like pickles now," I say and she laughs slightly nodding her head as she writes a few things down on the board.

"Alright, Tony. Do the same thing as last time and we'll take a look. Now be warned, it will no longer be a dot." she says and I nod my head. I pull up my shirt and undo my pants button then lay on the bed. Dr. Roseland brings over her machine and places some gel on my stomach and then start to look around the doppler.

Mike reaches out and grabs my hand and I look over at him then go back to staring at the screen. Soon enough we see a little figure with a really big forehead. I laugh slightly as tears show up in my eyes and I put my free hand over my mouth. "Alright to the forehead is big because of the developing brain and also there is something else I can show you. Are you ready to hear your baby's heartbeat?" she asks and I nod my head. She presses a button then the sound of thumping fills the room. I start to cry then while also laughing slightly.

"So far he or she has a good heart beat." she says and I smile and look at my stomach.

"You're gonna make it huh?" I ask then look back at the screen and take a deep breath. My little thing is in there and it's getting bigger and bigger everytime I see it.

"So I printed you more photos. Get excited cause I'm going to see you in four weeks and by then you're gonna have a bump and you're gonna be past the scariest time in the pregnancy other than you know; childbirth," she says and I laugh. She hands me a towel and I wipe off my stomach then look over to Mike.

He had this smile on his face that said everything he was thinking. Dr. Roseland looks at him then clears her throat and stands up. "I'm gonna give you two a moment then you can head out. I'll yet again see you in four weeks and around that time you'll almost be fourteen weeks. Tony that means you'll be in a way safer stage." she says and I smile then she laughs and walks out of the room.

Mike quickly swoops me up into his arms and spin lightly. I let out a loud yelp then he sets me down and presses a kiss to my lips. I kiss him back then pull away dazed. He smiles at me then presses a loving kiss to my forehead. "I'm so thankful and in love with you two." he says and I look up at him and cup his face.

"And we love you."
