Scars Left Untold

Family of 4

I walk out of the bathroom with the stick, pale and scared.

"Bell? You okay? You look kind of pale." Jack says standing up with Lavender and coming to my side. I show him the stick, unsure how he was going to react. "Oh my god!" He says. He keeps repeating himself, but everytime he does he gets happier. "You pregnant!" He says jumping up and down like a child at a carnival. I giggle, and the fear I jay had quickly washes away.

"We're pregnant." I correct him. He puts Lavender down on the rug we had on the living room floor. He quickly picks me up and spins me around. When he puts me down, I put my arms around his neck while his arms go around my waist, our foreheads touching.

"We're pregnant." He smiles and he says in a low, but very happy, tone of voice.

*time skip to later that week*

We grabbed our masks and were headed to the doctors to confirm the pregnancy and if I was to do an ultrasound.

We walk in and check in. Almost immediately we were taken back. They drew some blood and then we waited. A bit later the doctor confirmed I was pregnant, so we started the ultrasound.

"This gel is gonna be a little cold." The doctor warns me. I nod and he puts the gel onto my lower abdomen, where the baby is.

After a bit of him moving that stick thing around he finds the baby and we can hear a heart beat.

He turns the screen to us and says, "That's your baby."

I look at the screen and I look to Jack. He's smiling ear to ear.

"How far along am I?" I ask him.

"About six weeks along. I know this only looks like a blob. But I'm about another 8 months you should have a healthy baby." He smiles.

Later back at home:

"So, when do we want to tell our families?" I ask.

"Oh, why not today!" He says.

"Okay!" I say. I run upstairs and grab my laptop and dial in my moms number.

"Bella? Oh what a great surprise! Timothy! Bella's on the phone!" My yells for my father.

I walk down the stairs and reach Jack. I sit down at the table, in the chair next to Jack and put my laptop down.

"Hey Bella-Bean! Oh, Hi Jack!" My dad says.

"Hi Mr and Mrs. Thomson!" Jack waves. A couple weeks back my parents came to visit and met Jack and Lavender.

"Jack, I told you to call me Lila." My mom corrects him.

"Right, sorry Lila." He says. I chuckle a little bit.

"As much as I love surprise calls, was there any reason to calling?" My mom asks.

"Yeah, there is actually." I start. I look to Jack nervously. "We're," I start.

"Pregnant." We say together.

My moms jaw drops and my dad looks like he gonna pass out.

"OH MY GOD! REALLY!" My mother yells into the phone.

"THIS IS AMAZING!" My father yells as well.

After a while we call Jacks parents and siblings and they all have a similar reaction. Then it's time to call the rest of the band. We got on one big FaceTime call.

"So, I'm just going to get right to the point here." Jack says as soon as everyone's on. They all look very concerned.

"We're pregnant." Jack and I say together. It goes from dead silence to screaming and hollering, all out of joy.

"You had me worried their Jack, I thought you were going to say you were leaving the band" Corbyn says.

"No, never. I won't be the first to go." He jokingly says.

After sometime later the call ends and it's just me, Jack and Lavender. Jack and I are laying on our bed.

"I'm really excited." He tells me.

"Me too." I smile at him.
