I'll Stay Me

Chapter Thirty

Luke's POV

"I can't believe we've been here for almost two weeks..." I tell Hank, leaning my forehead against his.
"I know, tomorrow I have my surgery and Kelly and Chris will be leaving the day after that." He reminds me.
"Its gonna be so different not having them here." I say. He nods in agreement then lays his head on my shoulder.
"Baby do you think we can take a pregnancy test?" Hank asks.
"Yes, I'll be right back, okay?" I say.
"Okay, I love you." He smiles. I walk into the bathroom and grab a test from under the sink. I pee on the stick then wrap it in toilet paper. I walk back into the bedroom and sit on the bed beside Hank.
After three minutes I hand the test to Hank and watch as he unwraps it and looks at it.
           "What does it say?" I ask him excitedly trying to study his face. Hank doesn't say anything and just keeps looking at it. I grab the test out of his hands after waiting for a reply. 
       "This says I'm pregnant right? You see the two lines?" I ask Hank shaking.
                  "Yeah." Hank quietly says.
         "YES!" I scream, before my eyes start to tear up.  Hank hugs me and starts to cry as well.
        "What do you want it to be?" I ask him, pulling away from the hug. 
            "I would love to have another boy, but I know you've been wanting to have another girl." Hank says.
         "How are we gonna tell our family?" I ask him excitedly.
            "Let's wait a little while, maybe once you're showing." He suggests.
      "Okay. If I can keep my mouth shut that long." I say smiling.
           "Let me go put this away in the drawer. And afterwards do you wanna go start making lunch for when Chris and Kelly get back?" I ask Hank, grabbing the test and heading into the bathroom.
"Sure, I'm still pretty sore from creating our little peanut though." He tells me. I take his hand and help him up then we walk downstairs. I gently help him sit down then begin cooking some spaghetti for lunch.
"Hey guys, How has y'alls morning been?" Kelly asks as she and Chris walk in.
"Amazing." I smile, looking over at Hank.
"Gross." Chris says, thinking I'm talking about sex. I walk over to Hank and kiss his cheek softly.
"Hank when is your birthday?" Kelly asks.
"May 26." He responds, I look at him in disbelief.
"Last month?" Chris asks. Hank nods.
"Babe, you didn't tell me? Why?" I say, sitting in his lap.
"Just didn't even want to think about it, especially after losing Mama." He tells me. I hug him tightly. He puts his hand on my stomach and kisses my head. Soon, the food is done so I get everyone a plate and sit them on the table. We all take our seat and say grace then begin eating.
"Hank, are you nervous about tomorrow?" Chris asks.
"I am, but I'm also so ready to hopefully get my back better." Hank answers.
    "If anything I think I'm the one that's been getting super nervous about tomorrow." I say.
      "Y'all are coming down to visit for your birthday, right?" Kelly asks looking at me.
    "As long as Hank is able to, then yes" I tell her.
    "Well just let us know and we'll either get things ready at home or pack and come visit here." Chris says.
"Hopefully we'll be able to come down to Georgia." I say, taking a sip of water.
"While we were out Kelly and I got somethings to make for dinner tonight so you can take a break from cooking and hang out with Hank." Chris says looking at me.
"What did y'all get?" Hank asks.
"A few steaks, fries and some veggies. Also got us some beer, because I know you shouldn't be drinking after your surgery tomorrow." Chris replies.
"You got beer for you three, not me right?" I ask looking at Chris.
"You can have a few, none of us are gonna tell anyone." Kelly says, with a duh look on her face.
"Sorry guys. I can't, not if I wanna keep breastfeeding the babies." I say, hoping they don't  suspect anything.
         "God, when did you become such a mom?" Chris asks, jokingly.
        "I don't know, since I became one?" I laugh. Hank puts his hand on my thigh and gently squeezes it.
"You two are really adorable." Kelly smiles.
         "Thanks." I tell her, kissing Hank's lips. I gently let my fingertips linger around his neck.
        "I think I'm gonna go feed the babies then I'll come back down and clean up." I tell everyone as I get up from the table. I go upstairs and begin feeding the babies. They are getting pretty big now and I love them so much.
      "Ma...ma" Harper smiles up at me.
       "Oh my God!!!" I yell excitedly.
"Luke, are you okay?!" Hank asks as he comes running into the room.
"I'm fine. Hank, she said Mama." I tell him excitedly.
"She called you Mama??" He asks, smiling.
     "Ma...ma" Harper stutters again.
         "Awww." Hank says looking over my shoulder.
       "Well Mama is gonna bring y'all a present in a few months." I whisper slightly too them. 
      "Would you like to burp them?" I ask Hank.
     "Sure. While I'm doing that why don't you make sure the play pen is ready?" Hank suggests.
"Okay, just please holler if you need me." I tell him heading down stairs. I head into the living room and put a few toys and a blanket in the play pen for the babies. I walk into the dining room to get things clean up, to find that someone already did.
       "Kelly?" I say walking towards the kitchen.
     "Yes?" She replies.
           "Did I tell you I was gonna clean up everything?" I ask her.
        "Yeah, but you just seem so stressed out and everything. Your mood has changed since we've been up here. I figured you could use a break." Kelly says smiling.
       "It's just you and Chris have done so much, you guys are the ones that need a break. Besides what am I gonna do when y'all leave?" I tell her.
"Once Hank gets better he's gonna help you so much. He already tries so hard." She tells me.
        "He does. I wish he'd learn to just sit down and let me help him but he thinks it's his job to do everything for me." I say, smiling as Hank walks into the room. 
         "You're so beautiful." Hank says, coming over and kissing me.
           "Luke, I haven't noticed how much your boobs have grown since you've been off your hormones and feeding the kids until now." Kelly says.
            "Oh my God, Randall!" I yell as I feel Hank reach around me and grab my boobs. I look up at him in disbelief but can't help but laugh.
"Luke, we should go shopping. You need to show off your new body instead of hiding it in all those sweatshirts you wear." She tells me. "Your boobs look great and you have curves."
I look back at Hank and he gives me a nod.
"Go, I have the babies." He says.
"Okay." I agree. "Let's go."
