You and Me, Forever

{2}

It is now three days later, and Ashton gets home in one week. It was the last part of the tour, and I am really excited for him to come home, and I can tell Rosey is too. Every night we facetime with Ashton and Rosey always climbs in my lap and touches Ashton's face on my phone. It's the cutest thing ever, but sometimes it gets really annoying. She'll accidentally touch the end call button, and then we play phone tag because we try to call each other at the same time.

Today I woke running to the bathroom puking my guts out. I've haven't been feeling well past couple days, and I guess it finally hit me. I decided to go to the local clinic to see what I have, and I dropped Rosey off with my parents for the weekend just so I don't get her sick. When I get to the clinic, there weren't many people waiting, and I'm glad I went earlier in the day.

After about 15 to 20 minutes of waiting, I was called in. They wanted me to pee in a cup and once I was done with that they checked my blood pressure and oxygen levels. My eyes, throat, and ears. The nurse asked me a serious of questions before she told me that the doctor would be in to see me in a few minutes. The doctor came in and asked me the same questions and checked my breathing. Since the lab results of my urine weren't back yet, he sent me to get my blood taken just in case it's something that can found in my urine. I'm hoping it's just a stomach bug, but in today's world, you never know what it is.

Instead of the doctor coming back in after I got back from getting my blood taken, a nurse walked in.

"Have you noticed if your period is late or anything?" The nurse asked me.

I think about it, but the last time I've had sex was before Ashton left like two months ago. It wouldn't make sense If I was now just showing symptoms of pregnancy.

"I mean, no but why would I just now show symptoms of being pregnant?"

"In some pregnancies, women have symptoms a little bit later on, and some women don't show any symptoms until they are in the second trimester." The nurse said as she was getting an ultrasound machine ready to see if I was actually pregnant.

Five minutes later, she put gel on my abdomen and started moving the wand around. She pointed to the screen to where I need to be looking at, and you can clearly see a little figure on the screen. I took my hands and covered my mouth with tears running down. I didn't want to be pregnant right now and especially without Ashton by my side. I don't know how I'm going to tell him.

"You are three months pregnant," the nurse said while still moving the wand around, "Do you want pictures?"

"Yes, please"

"How many copies?"

I started thinking about that because I would like to have one at the house, one in my wallet or phone case, one for Ashton, for Ashton's mum, one for my mum, and maybe my step-mum too.

"Six, please"

"Okay, I will be back with the pictures and also a paper with the kind of prenatal vitamins you need to take."

"Okay, thank you so much"

She left the room, and I looked at my phone to see Ashton called four times in a row, with a text saying something about being told I was going to the doctor's because I was sick. I texted him back real quick before the nurse came back into the room.

"Here are the photos," she handed me a closed envelope, and gave a small slip of paper, "Here are the instructions for the vitamins, and where to get them. Oh, and you need to make an appointment to an Ob/GYN."

"Are there any that you recommend? I wouldn't even know where to start looking."

"Yeah, I'll give you a paper that had Ob/GYNs around here." She said walking out of the room yet again.

She came back into the room about five minutes later and gave me a second paper with a list of Ob/GYNs. She let me go home and rest, and I decided on how I'm going to tell Ashton.

When I got home, I took a nap for five hours and went to the store. I grabbed three pregnancy test sticks, a baby blue gift bag, some baby pink tissue paper, and some baby clothing. Even though I already know that I'm pregnant, I was still going to take a test just to show Ashton, and I was going to sign a card and put the ultrasound picture in it too. I forgot to grab a card, so I would have to get it when I go pick up Rosey. But I took the tests and made sure they were all positive and wrapped them in some tissue paper so he can't see them when he first takes out the tissue paper on top. I wrapped the baby clothes I got at the store separately with the tissue paper as well.

When I was done with everything, I decided to take Josie on a walk. We walked around the neighborhood a couple of times to the point where Josie couldn't walk anymore, so I carried her the rest of the way home.

I woke up the next day puking yet again, and I took a quick shower before going to my dad's house. I wanted to tell them, and I needed to pick up Rosey. We needed to go to the store so I can get a card for the gift and get Josie more food.

I got to my dad's and knocked on the door. Austin, my brother, opened the door with Jenna, my step-mum, right behind him.

This story is something that I'm trying to put all of my free time into because it could help me with my anxiety and OCD. Please comment if there is something wrong, or just weird and I'll try to fix it as fast as I can.
