Christine was beyond shocked by the news, she thought her dreams of ever having a child were completely diminished after the operation that she regretted so much and now a nurse was telling her she had been pregnant when it happened and simply un-noticed because she was so early "This just doesn't happen!" She laughed, shaking her head in disbelief.
"It actually does, a few cases like this have happened before so you aren't the first!" The nurse explained "Though rare, it occurs!"
"It must have been that last time I fucked you!" John stated and the nurse raised her eyebrows at his bluntness as she then looked at her clipboard, reading over the notes about Christine's condition to give her enough information as she could.
John felt a tingle of excitement at the though of him and Christine having a child together even though he wasn't sure if the baby was his, he also had no idea about how Christine was feeling, after all she had got sterilised and he never wanted to force he to do something she didn't want to do. His worst fear was her being unhappy after all his own self hate over their marriage breakdown.
Christine nodded at him "It would be from that night we fucked!" She replied, knowing the baby was his, she was still so amazed that she had a growing inside of her. Getting the operation had made her realise how much she did want a baby, but she worried too and didn't want her hopes up "Is the baby alright, has the operation harmed it, will I miscarry because I have my tubes cut?" She asked.
"The risk of miscarriage is increased due to the amount of drugs in your system, also the infection has taken its toll on you too, but the reason you were so ill is because of the pregnancy too. Its just a waiting game right now, after the twenty week mark things are safer and when we can do a scan is further in your pregnancy, the baby is barely visible at the moment, but rest and nutrition will help a lot, if you want to continue the pregnancy, also getting clean and sober of course, we have some good rehabilitation clinics in the area and you can speak with a counsellor if you like as well!" The nurse smiled and Christine nodded.
"I'm keeping the baby, the rest I will do, but I don't need rehab, I'm not an addict!" Christine said firmly, already loving the baby, she was beyond amazed, it was her chance at being a mother, the thing she thought was impossible after her choice and the baby was John's. Even though her and Mick had started having sex, she knew there was no chance the baby was his because it was after the procedure and he didn't come in her.
"Cutting down on the substances gradually is the best way, even though its not the best idea for the baby, its safer for you, we also have some things to prescribe you to help with withdrawals!"
"Thanks, I'd like to speak to my husband now!" Christine said briskly and the nurse nodded, smiled and left the room "You know its yours right, if you don't want it, I'm raising it on my own and quitting the band!" Christine exclaimed staring at John and squeezing his hand.
"Chris, I love you, I want you back, we will raise it together, a fresh start for us both!" John smiled and gently stroked her cheek "I'm so happy you want it, I want to be there with you every step of the way, even if you don't want me back, I still want to be there, by your side with the baby, this is like another chance for us!"
"If I loose it John, you wont want me, I am damaged goods now!" She sniggered.
"You wont loose it, I promise, everything will be fine and its you I love and want anyway, the baby is just a perfect little bonus!" John soothed.
"I want it soo much!" Christine stated her voice cracking.
"It will be alright hon, I promise!" John added and laid kisses all over her face.
