Beautiful End

Ride to the hospital

Elvis:

The ride to the hospital was a comfortable one as I held onto her hands not saying anything but just enjoying the silence which was a comfortable kind of silence.
Sometime through the ride, I turned and caught her starring, she looked down shyly and smiled to herself.
Elvis: anything on your mind honey?

Laura: was just wondering why you didn't sleep over this morning and gave your mom the excuse of having to go to work early because clearly that was a lie considering you made time this morning to take me to the hospital.

Elvis: I didn't lie but then I thought it wise that I should take you for your first scan since am your husband to be, and the truth is I didn't think I could control not touching you when I have been starving all these months away from you.
She blushed as I said this looking everywhere but my face, which caused me to chuckle.

Laura: Elvis I need to tell you something

Elvis: Not now honey when I drop you off at home from the hospital then you can, for now I want to enjoy this comfortable silence.
She agreed quietly as she cuddled into me, I wondered what she wanted to say, I hope to God it was good news cause heaven knew how much bad news I had endured in my lifetime.
We soon arrived and I helped her out of the car as I led her into the hospital.

I do want a boy you know that right?, l said to her as she shakes her head stubbornly, ' I want a girl ', she said as she leaned in to kiss me, causing nurse Everton Laura's personal nurse to smile up at us.
Miss Laura, could you please stand on this for me?,
She asked as Laura got up and stood on the stand of a machine that looked like a weighing scale but this one was tall and had handles you could hold on to whiles you stood. I zoned out as she and the nurse spoke in hushed tones about God knows what.

I looked up and saw the nurse smiling  up at me, I quirked an eyebrow at her wanting to know my unborn baby's sex but she ignored me and with that same smile, she turned and began writing something onto a card she was holding.
I turned and looked at Laura, well, I questioned as she smiled and held onto my arms, lets go.
In the car, I tried to pressure her into telling me but she wouldn't , saying she would tell me when the whole family returned in the evening , I fumed all the way to the house complaining about how unfair women were.

She pinched my cheeks causing me to glare at her whiles she burst out laughing, so she thought this was funny, let her have her fun, then I will have mine.
After telling her to take care of herself and dropping her off at home, I headed for work.

At dinner that evening, I kept tapping my foot ,anxious to know my baby's sex, Laura hadn't still come downstairs, so I went up to get her and then proceeded to get her comfortable on her seat, after everyone was settled for dinner, she cleared her throat and broke the news to us.
I jumped off my seat as the news hit me, am having a baby boy I screamed to no one in particular and then proceeded to do a little victory dance.

My mom laughed as Mr Kingston patted me on the back which I must say was awkward at first since that was the first time he ever showed me any affection.
After, we had little talks here and there with mostly my mom telling us about her day at the department store with Mr. Kingston.

Dinner ended fruitfully and I kissed Laura goodbye promising to take her on a walk at the park the next day.
She kissed me back and lingered way longer on my lips, giving me the impression she really wanted me to stay, but I couldn't considering the fact that I couldn't control myself when I am around her and secondly too, I didn't want to cause her stress.
I broke the kiss as I got in my car and drove off without looking back.

So far things were going smoothly and I hoped to God it remained the way it was, I got home and got into the shower as I went over the days event in my head.
Before I went to bed that evening, I made sure to text Laura and explain to her why I couldn't spend the night, and then I wished her a goodnight.
I slept off after that, completely  content with myself.
I mean  I had a beautiful fiancee and a handsome baby boy no doubt on the way, what more can a man ask for?.
