Anne Wheeler x Phillip Carlyle

Chapter 14

Anne POV.
Pregnant. Pregnant. The word feels strange in my mouth. Pregnant!
I was going to a baby's mother, and Phillip was going to be a baby's father, and the baby would be half me and half Phillip. This made me smile, the only thing we needed to make this dream I was living more solid was a baby- a little baby we had created!
Lettie hugged me, as I stood still on the couch in disbelieve, and then she left and I waited by myself. Well- with the baby too. What if they were twins? Would I like twins? I thought to myself- and then decide I would prefer to have only one baby to begin with, though if it turned out to be twins, nothing would change my happiness.
"I'm home, my love." Phillip said, as he came into our apartment. I stood up and peeked my head out of the door.
Upon seeing me, he smile and walks towards me with his arms outstretched.
"I'm so sorry for not being home earlier. But anyway, what did the doctor say?" He asks me, placing his hands on my waist. I decide to trick him for making me wait for him so long.
"Phillip...you might want to sit down for this." I tell him. He instantly sucks in his breath and his expression saddens. Oh, if only he knew what was coming his way!
"Phillip, what the doctor said is something that will change our life together forever." I say again. I hear him murmur "god, please no." under his breath, and I hold back a laugh.
"Well, Phillip... you're going to be a father!" I squeal in excitement. Phillip freezes and then gapes at me, and hugs me.
"Oh my gosh, I had figured you were dying!" Phillip says, squeezing me tighter. I laugh, and he kisses me and rubs my stomach, and everything is perfect. Then we have an idea, and start to think about baby names. We both write down a list of five names (five boy, five girl) separately and then show them to each other, and see if there are any names we both like. For the girls I write down:

Rose, Grace, Alice, Olivia, Eleanor.

For the boys I write down:

Nicholas, Dylan, William, Matthew, Samuel.

"Alright, I'm done!" I say, and show my list to Phillip, which nods and smiles.
"Nice! I got Alice, Rose and Samuel too!" He says. Phillip had written down for the girls:

Isabella, Rose, Margaret, Alice, Elissa.

For the boys, Phillip had written down:

Luke, Samuel, Robert, Augustus, Thomas.

We ponder over the names, and I decide I like the name Elissa a lot, and our top three name for girls become Alice, Rose and Elissa and for the boys they become Samuel, Thomas and Dylan - but only after I swear we would only call our son Augustus over my dead body! What an awful name! After talking for some time, Phillip starts stroking my hair.
"Would you prefer a boy or a girl?" He asks me, as we lay on our couch comfortably.
"Either one is perfect. But I can sense there is a little Elissa/Alice/Rose down there." I say. I didn't tell Phillip that I really wanted a girl more, because I didn't want to be disappointed if there was a boy.
"Hm, a girl? Actually, I'm convinced it's a girl too!" He states, and I smile because if he's sure it's a girl, and I'm sure it's a girl, then it will be for sure.
For now, everything is perfect.
