Men Can't Get Pregnant

Heartbeats: Arthit and Kongpob

3 MONTHS PREGNANT

Arthit sighed as he stared down at his small baby bump, it finally happened a week ago and he was both excited and terrified at the sight of this little bump. Kong was so excited when he first saw it, he would also be looking at it right now with him, but he had to leave for a meeting early this morning. It was Friday and today he had a doctor's appointment, he was a little disappointed that Kongpob wasn't going to be there to hear the heartbeat.

They were in the process of moving to a three-bedroom house instead of a two-bedroom house, so Kongpob has been going into his company building to do his work and meet potential clients which took him away from Arthit and their baby, but it would only be for a little while. Arthit sighed and dropped his shirt to cover his stomach before leaving his room and going to the kitchen to get some strawberry ice cream that Kongpob bought him. 

He was glad that his morning sickness was over and he was less tired but his cravings and wanting to jump his boyfriend's bones was getting a little crazy. They have had sex five times this week not that he or Kong were complaining but it wasn't normal for them. He was definitely complaining about how much his friends bugged the heck out of him by asking him if they are going to be the godmother or godfather. Kongpob had to finally tell them to stop and that they would decide who would be the godparents when they were ready. Arthit kinda wanted Knot to be their baby's godfather since he has always been there for them. He didn't care who the godmother was, and he wouldn't care if it was a guy either.

Arthit went into the nursery in their new house and looked around at how bare it was. They were painting the room black and white which are neutral colors. They thought it would go perfectly with the rest of the house. Arthit and Kongpob briefly talked about the gender of their baby, not really wanting to talk about the baby till after the first trimester. Arthit wanted a boy but would be happy with a girl, Kongpob wanted a girl but would be happy with a boy.

A reminder on his phone made him realize it was time to head to his appointment. He left the nursery and headed out of the house to his car, he finally bought a car with the help of Kongpob last month and was happy that it was a family friendly car. He drove to his doctor's office and parked his car in the parking lot before he went into the building and turned the corner, he walked up to the front desk and waiing to the people behind it.

"I'm here for my two o'clock appointment." He said.

"Is your girlfriend on her way in?" One of the new receptionists said.

"No, I don't have a girlfriend the appointment is for me."

"You do know this is a place for pregnant woman, right?" The lady said trying to be polite about it but only succeeding in pissing off Arthit.

"My name is Arthit, I am two months pregnant and I'm here to get a checkup so if you will please take your judgmental self and tell the doctor I'm here!!!" The woman quickly stood and went towards the hallway that led into the back without another word. Arthit sighed in annoyance before turning and noticing that three heavily pregnant women were now staring at him and his belly. Arthit became defensive and put a hand over his belly.

"I don't stare at you so don't stare at me." He snapped. The woman immediately looked away. Arthit found a spot far enough away from the ladies and their curious eyes and waited for his turn. Ten minutes later, it was his turn to go in, he followed a nurse into the back and into a checkup room.

"I just wanted to apologize for our new receptionist, she shouldn't have questioned you like that." The female doctor said once he came in.

"You shouldn't apologize she should." Arthit said.

"We will make sure that happens." The doctor said. "Now, let's have you lay on your back and lift your shirt." Arthit did as instructed and waited for whatever was about to happen.

"So is your partner joining us today?" The doctor asked.

"N-"

"Yes, he will be" Arthit looked up to see his boyfriend standing in the doorway a little out of breath.

"I thought you weren't coming?" He said.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world." Kong moved over to the bed and kissed him making Arthit blush before looking away.

"Okay this is going to be a little cold" the doctor said before squeezing gel onto Arthit's stomach, it was a little cold but not bad. The doctor then took what looked like a wand and placed it on his stomach and began moving it around. Kongpob took Arthit's hand as their baby came into view.

"For thirteen weeks your baby is progressing very well, heart and lungs look good." The doctor said before hitting a button on the computer and the most beautiful sound Kongpob and Arthit ever heard came out of the speakers. It was their baby's heartbeat.

"We can't tell the gender yet but were you guys thinking about knowing the sex of the baby." The doctor said. Arthit looked at Kongpob who was looking at him before nodding.

"We want to know"

"Okay then, I will see you in four weeks." She said after cleaning the gel off his stomach. She printed out a picture of the baby before giving it to them then leaving.

"I'm so glad you came" Arthit said as Kongpob helped him up.

"Me too" he said as a knock on the door distracted them from totally losing it. The woman from the reception desk came into the room with an apologetic look.

"I am so sorry about early, my behavior was atrocious and that is not me at all." She said.

"I accept your apology" Arthit said.

"Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day" she said before leaving.

"I'm confused" Kong said. "What happened?"

"I'll tell you about it when we get home." He said looking down at their baby. He was pretty sure he just fell in love with the person in the photo.
