Overcome (Scott Eastwood fanfiction)

Chapter Seventeen

We're still in New York and I've been ill again so I'm seeing a doctor here today so I can get something before we fly back to California. Scott has work commitments so I'm going on my own. The doctor does some bloods to check if it's viral "We'll also do a urine test to rule out pregnancy" she says "Of course" I say "Is there a possibility you could be pregnant?" she asks "No I'm always regular and I just had" and I trail off thinking back "I guess with all the travelling I may of missed it this month" I say "Could be stress related but we won't rule out pregnancy" she says "Yeah" I say. My sleep in fretful that night as I think about the possibility of having a baby and my hand instinctively goes to my stomach wondering if a baby is growing in there.

The next morning we're heading out to breakfast and the doctor calls me "It's not viral again your slightly anaemic so keep taking your iron supplements. The pregnancy test came back positive so congratulations which explains the vomiting and nausea. Have your doctor back in California check you out and prescribe some prenatal vitamins" she says "Thank you doctor" I say and hang up. I decide not to tell Scott leaving it until his birthday which is Friday.

It's the morning of Scott's birthday and we're back in San Diego. I've been to see my doctor here who definitely confirmed things and I'm about a month along and we'll be having the first scan once we've chosen a obgyn and I'm further along. I'm holding off on telling my family until we're out of the danger zone in terms of miscarriage but I will be telling my agent and the people on Slayer as we're due to start filming again in May. I'm finishing writing Scott's card in which I've said we're having a baby and hope he reacts well. I head back upstairs with breakfast and my card "Happy birthday handsome" I say kissing him "Thanks" he says and I watch nervously as he opens the card "This is just one birthday present consider this the main one though" I say and he reads it "Is this real?" he asks "I found out in New York but my doctor confirmed it the other day I'm almost four weeks. I know it might be too soon we've only been together six months and we've had the marriage talk but not the kids talk" I say rambling "I'm happy and it's definitely a birthday to remember" he says "I had booked us a trip to Jamaica for May aswell before I start back on Slayer" I say "I love you" he says and kisses me "I love you too. I'm not gonna tell my parents just yet I'd like to wait until the first scan in a few weeks til we know everything is okay" I say "Of course we'll keep it to ourselves for now" he says.

We've had our first scan and today is the day I'm telling my parents and my brother and Scott will tell his family too. We're getting ready to head to the beach for the day so I Skype my parents "Nice to hear from you sweetie. You've been so busy lately" my mum says "I'm gonna be there next week for the play so you'll see me lots then" I say "You look a little pale are you feeling okay" she says and I am pale as morning sickness has been kicking my butt recently "Is dad around there's something I want to show you" I say "Did Scott propose?" she asks "No" I say and she calls for my dad who appears on screen "I know it's early but we're happy and we waited to tell you until the first scan but your gonna be grandparents" I say and hold up the scan and their both silent until I see a tear in my mum's eye "Your okay healthy the baby too" she says "Apart from some horrible morning sickness I'm good and the baby is all good according to the doctor. Dad say something preferably non threatening towards Scott" I say "He's made you happy and that's all that's matters to me" he says "We're heading out but we'll talk more when I get there next week" I say "We love you" she says "Love you too" I say. We're in the car on the way to the beach and I facetime Jack "Hey uncle Jack" I say when he answers "Are you high or something I'm nobody's uncle" he says "Well you will be in seven months or so" I say "This isn't a joke is it" he says "Nope" I say and show him the scan "The newest addition to the Eastwood Murray household" I say "Congrats both of you" he says "Thank you" I say "I have band practice but talk soon" he says "Sure" I say and end the call.

We are now chilling on the beach and I can see a slight bump forming but nothing noticeable yet as we're hoping to keep it out of the press for as long as possible and hopefully me being in London will help with that. We plan to announce it after I've gone past three months probably around the four month mark but as long as our families know before that we don't mind.
