Men Can't Get Pregnant

Heartbeats: Rome and Pick

3 MONTHS PREGNANT

"STOP TOUCHING IT" Rome finally snapped. Emma had been touching his baby bump for the past three minutes and he had had enough. He was already irritable since the shop he usually goes to for Thai donuts was out of them and Pick had to leave for work early so there was no early morning cuddles.

"What are you doing to my husband?" Pick said coming in the front door.

"I am just fascinated with his baby bump." Emma pouted. Rome stood not feeling like having company anymore. He headed to their bedroom and climbed into bed. He heard the front door close then footsteps coming down the hall.

"Rough day?" Pick asked climbing into bed next to him. Rome turned to face him then moved closer to him, wrapping his arms around him, snuggling into his warmth.

"I missed you" he said.

"I missed you too"  Pick said wrapping his arms around Rome. "When is your doctor's appointment tomorrow?"

"It's at two, can you still make it?"

"I'm not missing this one, I was pissed off when I couldn't go to your first appointment though the sonogram was amazing I'm not missing this appointment."

"Good cause you would miss our baby's heart beat."

"We get to hear the heart beat this time?" He asked.

"Yup" Pick sighed and kissed Rome's forehead.

"I'm tired let's go to sleep." Pick said before they both fell asleep in each others arms. The next morning Rome awoke to find Pick gone and a note on his side of the bed. He picked it up and read it.

Can't wait to see our baby
See you at two

Rome smiled and wished Pick was here. It was raining outside and they usually stay inside and cuddle but since they were having a baby they needed more money so Pick took up the day shift when he usually just does the night shift so he could spend time with Rome. Rome has taken some photography jobs and has been getting good money with it. They were also trying to find a house to live in since their apartment is too small for their growing family.

His pregnancy was going well right now. His cravings were still there but his morning sickness was almost gone. He was also fatigued and had the occasional headache but none of that was as worse as the hormones. If it wasn't the emotional hormones it was the physical hormones. He was so horny sometimes that they would have sex at least three times a day if they could otherwise Rome would take care of himself.

Speaking of taking care of himself, Rome got up and headed for the shower to take care of his little problem. After taking care of himself, he cleaned his body and hair before getting out of the shower. He got dressed before leaving the room and heading towards the kitchen. He made himself breakfast before hanging out in the living room. He was almost finished with a chapter in What To Expect When You're Expecting when his alarm to remind him of the doctor's appointment started ringing. He got up and went over to the door, putting his shoes on he grabbed his keys and wallet before leaving the house.

The drive to the doctor's office was a short one arriving five minutes early. He got out of his car and walked into the office. He checked in before sitting on the couch, his eyes never left the door and each time it opened he thought it would be Pick.

"Rome" The nurse said from the doorway that lead to the back. Rome looked at the door one more time before standing with a sigh. As he walked over to the lady the front door opened and in came a panting Pick.

"Rome!" He said. Rome's face lit up as Pick hurried over to him.

"You made it just in time." Rome said.

"Good cause there was no way in hell I was missing this." Pick said as they were lead into the back then into an exam room. Rome sat on the exam table while Pick took a seat on a chair by the exam table.

"How was work?" Rome asked.

"Fine, it wasn't really busy until about an hour ago. I barely got out on time." He said. Rome sighed rubbing his baby bump. A doctor came in a few minutes later and smiled at Rome and Pick.

"Shall we get this party started?" She said. Pick stood and went over to Rome who had laid down on his back and lifted his shirt to reveal his baby bump. The doctor warned Rome about the coldness of the gel before squeezing some over his bump before taking a wand and moving it over his belly.

"There's your baby" She said. It wasn't Rome's first time seeing the baby but it was still magical every time he did get to see the baby. Pick on the other hand had not seen the baby so he just stared at the screen.

"Can you tell if it's a boy or girl?" Pick asked not taking his eyes off his baby.

"Unfortunately not but in about two months you can but I think this will hold you over till then." The doctor said before hitting a button and the sound of a heartbeat came over the speaker. Pick had heard a lot of beautiful things but nothing compared to this. Rome smiled as he teared up.

"That's our baby" He said.

"I can't wait to meet him or her." Pick said.
