A few days passed and it was the day of Stevie's scan, he had already visited and called daily. Christine had also spoke to Stevie on the phone too, pouring out countless apologies which Stevie said were unnecessary because it was all a big misunderstanding but Christine still felt guilty as she was still unsure whether she was pregnant to Mick or not. Stevie had felt great that Christine was calling her though and appreciated all the calls and visits from Mick too, they were bonding, connecting and planning, it was wonderous.
Mick was feeling awkward and foolish as he stood in front of the mirror in his suite, combing his hair and feeling very pissed off at how it was thinning "I guess I will be bald by the time the kid is ten, oh well, hopefully its only the top, at least my hat will cover it!" He shrugged, sipping a beer to try to drown out his nerves.
It felt more like the end of high school, not like going to see his potential future girlfriend and his baby for the first time, he was a jittery mess, unable to hardly do up his jacket buttons, he even felt stupid for the way he was dressed "I look like the fucking mad hatter, not an expectant father!" He sighed, talking to himself once against as he stared in the mirror and adjusted his coat, then there was a knock on the door.
"Mick, its John, I know you would be freaking out!" He called out with a laugh and Mick instantly smiled, rushing over and opening the door.
"Johnny, how did you know?" Mick asked smiling.
"Because, you love Stevie like I love Chris and I still get nervous, worried she will turn me down or punch my lights out!" John chuckled, following Mick inside "What the bloody hell are you wearing, its not wedding, its a scan, the kid will think its father is a British lord!" John exclaimed bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Well we are the lords of Fleetwood Mac!" Mick chuckled and playfully bowed "How is the angry chicken?"
"Taking daily pregnancy tests and playing her keyboard angrily, I went back there with dinner for her the other day and she was changing some of her love song lyrics to swearing, it was actually quite amusing!" John admitted.
"Fuck, I am really dead if she is preggers!" Mick sighed "I am still really sorry about falling into bed with her, I never meant too, I didn't want women to come between us ever, especially your wifey, I do hope you can forgive me, you and Chris are my oldest friends, we have come such a long way, Chris and I never meant to fuck!"
"Mick I know, you both don't recall and you took whatever shit Lindsey gave you, its ok, we will all make it work!" John smiled.
"You are too good Johnny!"
"Nah, I just understand, but its only because it was you, if it had been Lindsey, well I probably would have punched him, but I also know Chris will deal with you if she carrying a baby Fleetwood!"
"I hope she isn't, is that bad?" Mick asked, cringing.
"No, I hope she isn't either, and she hopes the same!" John laughed and thy both started chuckling even though the situation was pretty awful, they had always tried to find the best in everything and laugh away all the bad moments.
John helped Mick get ready and they had a shot of whiskey each "Well you better get your lanky ass over to see Stevie, you don't wanna miss the scan, or that gives a really shitty sign of things to come!"
"I know, that is why I will skedaddle now, look after Chrissy while I am gone!"
"Obviously, she is my wife, whether you impregnated her or not!" John teased.
"Please don't make it sound so gross!" Mick cringed grabbing his car keys.
"It is gross!" John laughed.
"I know and I'm sorry!"
"I'm just teasing you, now go and piss off!" John chuckled, playfully swatting Mick's arm.
"Alright, alright, bye Mr penguin, wish me luck!" Mick winked and rushed off.
Stevie waited nervously, hoping Mick would arrive and her face lit up as she seen him awkwardly racing in "Steph!" He grinned, rushing over to her and pulling her gently into an embrace.
"You came!" She giggled gladly, also feeling a lot better, she had even applied some light make up and styled her hair a little, maybe she was trying to impress him, even if she knew she didn't need too, she still felt like she did, no matter how smitten with her he was.
"Of course, wouldn't miss this for the world!" He smiled.
"You get to see our baby!" Stevie giggled, resting her hand on her little bump that was showing more.
"I am so excited!" Mick grinned and Stevie smiled more, taking in how dressed up he was, she thought it was really sweet how he had went to that much trouble just for the scan.
"It is exciting, I just get a little nervous!" She blushed and Mick realised of course she would be nervous, after everything.
"Well I am here for you!" He winked and took her hand in his, smiling warmly.
"Thank you!" She smiled back and hugged him, feeling safe in his arms.
