PERALTIAGO ONE SHOT

Hormone Treatment

I have almost given up; I will never get pregnant! I want a child so badly, a little Jake running around our apartment, but it’s never going to happen! Maybe we should just adopt a kid, like Charles did. Charles and Genevieve look so happy with Nikolaj. I start tearing up, I’ve always wanted to have a child, the real way. I want to feel happy while turning a pregnancy stick and realizing that its positive, to have morning sickness and have a kind husband who will help me through it, to fell the baby’s first kick. I want to go through a pregnancy and in the end sit in a hospital bed with a child I can say is a 100% my husband and I’s creation. 

I start to cry. My dream will never come true. I think Jake notice I’m crying because he puts his hands around my shoulders and place small kisses on the top of my head.

Jake: “Babe go to sleep and tomorrow we can talk it all through. We are going to figure it all out, I know we will” I gently close my eyes and fall asleep almost immediately cuddled up beside Jake.

I wake up the next morning feeling sick but I'm sure it nothing. I get dressed and go to the kitchen. I make some breakfast for both of us and wait for Jake to be ready. We eat our breakfast and I swallow my hormone treatment pills before we head to the precinct. 

After a long day of work Jake and I is heading home again. Nothing interesting really happened though the entire day I was overly emotional. At first, I just think it’s because of the hormone treatment my doctor has given me, but now I'm not sure. When we arrive home, I call the doctor to see if it’s a common side effect to be emotional because of the treatment, but she tells me it isn’t. In fact, she tells me it might could be because I’m pregnant. I don’t know what to believe, but since I have a pregnancy test in the cupboard, I decide to take it and see if really is true. I pee on the stick and wait 5 minutes, but I feel like I wait forever. I get my act together and turn the test to check the result. 

Jakes POV

I sit in our living room playing Mario Party when Amy come out of the bathroom.

Amy: “I don’t know if u noticed but ever since I started those Hormone treatments”

Jake: “I didn’t notice anything” I say quickly trying to hide the fact that she has been overly emotional since she started the treatment.

Amy: “You said that way to quick” she says, and I smile awkwardly.

Jake: “I mean you did cry to that one car commercial, and it wasn’t even an emotional one. It was about towing capacity” I say, still trying not to make anything worse.

Amy: “Yeah. Well I called the doctor to see if that was a common side effect and apparently its isn't.”

Jake: “Oh no! Is everything okay?” I say beginning to think that something might be wrong.

Amy: “Yeah. She did have one guess as to what might be causing it. And umm...” she stops and pull something out of her pocket “She was right” she adds while smiling. 

I look at the object she’s holding, a positive pregnancy test.

Jake: “Ames. Are we having a baby” I say completely shocked.

Amy: “We are having a baby” she says.

We both smile and I pull her into a hug, I can't believe it. We are having a baby; I'm going to be a dad.
