The Start Of Something Great

Chapter 10 - When We Found Out

Its been a few weeks since me and Henry had connected on a different level. Three weeks to be exact. and it was the last week of this month and I still hadn't had my period yet. I usually have it the first week a few days after me and Henry connected. I was a little worried but I figured it was nothing and I convinced myself that I was just late and it was nothing more.

*Exactly one month later*

I still hadn't had my period yet and now I was really worried. I texted Henry and asked him to come over after school and to buy me a test on his way over after I explained everything to him. He understood why I was worried and came over as soon as he could. I took the test and we waited, me in his lap and his arms wrapped around my waist while he kissed my neck in reassurance that everything will be okay no matter what the outcome. After two minutes was up I slowly got up to look at the test knowing our lives depended on it. I seen a plus sign and immediately fell to the floor in sobs. Positive. That's why the test read. I immediately started sobbing when Henry picked me up off the floor and layed me onto the bed. He slowly layed down next to me and lightly pushed the hair behind my ears. Henry got me to calm down and look at him finally as he wiped away my tears. "I'm not gonna ruin your life like this..... you need to go to college you have dreams..." he replied "Yes I do. But so do you. And I'm not gonna leave you so don't even worry about that okay princess? We're going to raise our baby together and we'll still manage to make our dreams come true. Together forever right?" I started crying but this time they we're happy, joyful tears. I was so lucky to have him in my life and my baby was going to be so lucky to have Henry as a father. "Yes, Together Forever my prince. I love you so much." I said to him still crying because of what he had said. "I love you so much more" he replied kissing me. "And first thing tomorrow I'll make us an appointment with the doctor since you're a lil over a month along already." Henry told me. "Thank you babe." I said placing a kiss to his cheek. Henry decided to stay the night with me that night to make sure I would be okay and in the morning he made an appointment for the afternoon so we just skipped school and layed in bed sleeping until the time of our appointment. Once we got there I was immediately scared. We walked up to the door and I stopped, what if I got judged here? what if they find an early problem with our baby? or what if they finds a problem with me while they're checking my stomach? "It'll be okay..... I promise" Henry said kissing my cheek. I just smiled and hugged him and we walked through the door hand in hand. We signed in and sat in the waiting room until finally the doctor called us in. She talked to us for a few minutes and then put the really cold gel on my stomach and started to use the ultra sound machine to listen for a heartbeat. After a few moments she found one and just knowing that I was carrying Henry's son or daughter made me thrilled. Even though we're young, we're starting a family and that's something I've always wanted. I could tell Henry was excited about hearing the heartbeat too because since he was holding my hand through all of this once she found the heartbeat he squeezed my hand a lil tighter and let out a sigh of relief while a smile crossed his face. We got pictures of our first ultra sound of our baby and went back to my house. I made us some lunch and after we ate we cuddled and talked about our baby and how much things will change in eight months when the baby gets here. We discussed that we'll both get jobs outside of school to support our child. Yes I know this will be lots of work, but I know we'll make it through and I'm actually really excited about this. I wonder how much actually will change in eight months.....
