~A month and a half later~ "John. I feel so weird. I think we need to go to the doctor!" John thought about it. "I agree. I'm just. I don't know." Paul had puppy eyes that John just could not handle. "What do you mean? You don't know what, John?" John got up and walked around facing the opposite way of Paul. You could easily tell that John was a bit nervous. Paul walked up behind him. "John." Paul placed himself directly in front of John so that all he could see was him. "John. What is wrong? Is it something I did?" "No! Of course not!" " then what?" "I am just nervous. Verifying that you're pregnant means a lot to me and to confirm it makes me nervous. I feel that I'd be a bad father." Paul's jaw dropped. "John! What! You have to be kidding, yeah? You're acting crazy! You are a good man. A good boyfriend! I mean! All you do is take care of me, John!" Paul grabbed Johns hand and placed it in his. "I know but-" Paul interrupted John. "No! No but! Only mine!" John laughed. "Let's go, John. You can do this! Because if I can, you sure can." They both had walked to the doctor which was only a 5 minute walk. ~10 minutes later~ "James McCartney!" A nurse yelled for Paul to bring him back into the office from the waiting room. Of course, John was with him the entire time. Paul had trouble getting up but he had managed. Once they got to the doctor's office, Paul began to become nervous. "So, what brings you here today?" Paul gulped. "Well. I want to get a pregnancy test." The nurse was confused. "A pregnancy test? You do know that's for women. Women only." Paul shook his head. "The doctor a long while back told me I had the gene. That special gene. Are you aware?" The nurse seemed to understand more. "Oh! Yes! The male pregnancy gene. Very rare. You're the first. Was it doctor Johnson?" Paul had to think until he finally remembered. His nine year old self sitting in the office. Getting checked until the doctor had introduced himself as Doctor Johnson. "He has a special gene, mum." He remembered the look on his mum's face. "Yes! Doctor Johnson!" The nurse nodded. "Let's get you that pregnancy test." She went into her cabinet, pulling out a small, plastic cup. "I want you to go to the bathroom and urinate into this cup. After it's full, put the lid back onto it and bring it back to me." Paul smiled. "Sure. Anything." He left while John made an introduction of himself to the doctor. "You know. He is really nervous. The doctor looked at John. "Yes. I could imagine so." "Is it weird for you as a doctor to have a patient like this?" "Well, we barely have cases like this so in fact, it's quite different but not weird at all. I support you two." John smiled. "Thank you." "You're welcome, Mr?" "Lennon." "Oh! Lennon! Nice to meet you Mr. Lennon!" John smiled. Paul came back with a half cup full of urine and and a disgusted face. "I didn't like it." The doctor laughed. "I imagine that no one would like it but it's worth it, yeah?" Paul nodded, looking down at his stomach and touching it. "It sure is." Paul smiled. "Well, I'm going to get this tested and we shall see the results!" The doctor gave a smile and went off to do her job. Paul sat along with Paul. He was so nervous that he couldn't focus clearly. He was shaking. "John. I'm so scared." John turned to Paul. "Don't be scared baby. You will be fine. Everything will be fine." Paul bit his fingernails. "I don't know, John. I had always been excited for this day but now that it's here, I am so scared, John." John smiled. "Princess. Everything will be okay. So don't you worry because your prince is here and he will be every step of the way. Ye understand, yeah?" Paul nodded. "Hello! The test results in!" The nurse came in 10 minutes later. She was holding a binder of papers. Paul suddenly felt his heart drop. The nurse began to smile. "Paul, John." She paused for a minute to show suspense. "You both are going to be parents." John smiled widely. "Yes!!!!!!" They were so excited. The nurse took out the binder and began showing the results. "Paul, you are four weeks pregnant now." Paul felt his stomach. "Nurse, how many weeks will it be until I begin showing? I hope I won't be that fat." "Well usually most women start showing their bump between 12 and 16 weeks. So you'll be just fine. And about being fat. Most women will experience weight gain during there pregnancy even following after she gives birth. But it's completely normal. It's usually water weight. So don't you worry Paul! You'll be fine!!! I promise." She followed with a laugh. Paul was smiling along with John. John rested his hand on Paul's thigh. "Oh just thank you nurse!!! This is such wonderful news!!!" Paul jumped up. "Oh you're welcome Paul. Congratulations you two!" With that, she showed them to the door. "Now Paul, I want to see you back in 5 weeks. Okay?" Paul nodded. "Of course nurse. Sounds good!" Paul and John left smiling until they got outside. "'John. This is just wonderful!!!" "Of course Paul. I'm going to be a father." John began to get emotional and tear up. "Ohh John! I love you!! Don't cry." "I'm not crying. I'm just. You know. Well. Crying." Paul grinned. "Yes I know." He wiped away Johns tear and kissed him, cuffing his face into his hands and cuddling up to him by his side. They walked along home together and talked about the rest of the pregnancy and just life. And with that, they would never forget the moment.
