Blood Money - The Sequel

•one week later•

"Happy eight weeks to our baby!" I smile, kissing Haz's temple as he brushes his teeth. I turn sideways in the bathroom mirror, seeing I'm at an awkward stage where I just look like a put on a few pounds. I literally just look fat. I was worried about showing so early in the pregnancy, but my doctor said it's just because of the way I'm built. My brothers and I are all pretty scrawny, so my stomach will show a lot.
I frown as Haz rinses his mouth out. Why can't I just look pregnant, I don't want to look fat.
"Hey you stop that." Haz says, poking my frown. "Your body is fucking amazing cause it's growing our little bean and it's a good fuck."
I laugh loudly, and he smiles proudly knowing he turned my mood around.
"Only four more days until I'm cleared to do whatever I want to you." He mumbles, pressing kisses to my bare shoulder.
His recovery has gone amazing, he's got all his movement and stamina back, and now he's just waiting for the doctor to clear him for work and.. other things.
"What do you want to do after your appointment? We could go get lunch." He says.
"We're going to get Christmas stuff remember?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, almost forgot." He says.
We've been so busy with our own drama that we forgot Christmas is next week. I haven't even decorated yet! I'm practically forcing the guys to have a Christmas together on Christmas Eve before everyone goes home. We're doing presents, snacks, Christmas movies. The whole thing! Then we get to go spend Christmas at Nikki's house.
"You're too happy to have remembered what's going on tomorrow morning" he says and instantly I'm reminded of what we're doing tomorrow.
"Your mum will love me, no need to worry" I say and he smiles.
We agreed that it's time we tell his mum we're together. We couldn't just wait until a baby popped out... it's time. I could be nervous, or I could realize there's a big chance she's going to adore me. Most parents do.
We finish getting ready for my appointment and head out to the car. My phone dings and I see Petra texted me.
Petra: send me all the ultrasound photos!!!
I laugh, making a mental note to ask for extra copies. A baby of mine is basically a baby of Petra's. I'm glad we're such close friends.
We get to the doctors and I check in, sitting down next to Haz in the waiting room.
"You excited?" I ask.
"I'm so excited to see our little bean" he smiles.
"Aria" I'm called by a nurse and I stand up, Haz standing up with me and we walk back. She takes all my vitals before leaving us alone in the room, waiting for the doctor.
"Holy shit.." Haz mutters and I look over to him, seeing he's reading a book.
"What?" I ask.
"It's says you might get tearing.. down there, and could need stitches." He says wide eyed.
"Your fucking joking" I say, grabbing the book from him.
Nope. He's not.
Just as I'm about to literally freak out, my doctor walks in.
"Good afternoon, are we ready to see baby?" She smiles at me.
"Very" I nod.
"So tell me, have you experienced any nausea or sickness?" She asks.
"Surprisingly not at all.. haven't felt anything." I shake my head.
"You, my dear, are very lucky." She laughs.
I lay back and she asks me to lift my shirt so we can check out the baby on the ultrasound. I pull my shirt up, and she squirts the gel on, moving the wand around. She does her initial check, not saying much as she looks around.
"So your baby looks great, everything is forming well." She says.
She moves the wand, and we look at the screen, seeing more than just a little blob this time. Okay.. it still looks kind of like a blob but with a head.
"Wow" Haz says, staring at the screen with a smile on his face.
"We'll go ahead and listen for the heart beat" the lady says.
Soon the same ocean sounding thumping starts, and Haz squeezes my hand. I'm so glad he's here to experience this with me.
"That's a strong heart beat" she comments.
"Hear that? Kids gonna be an athlete" Haz says and I giggle.
"Everything looks great" the doctor hands me a towel to wipe off my belly.
"So is there anything we can be doing that we're not already? Want to make sure we're doing this right." Haz asks.
"Keep taking your prenatals and do everything we've discussed, you should be good to go." She smiles.
"When do we get to find out the gender?" I ask.
"Well normally you can't see gender on the ultrasound until around fifteen weeks, but there's a blood test you can schedule now if you'd like." She says.
I look to Haz, seeing if he's interested.
"Lets do it" he says to me.
"Really?" I smile. "Okay! Let's schedule that!"
We make the appointment to come in and get my blood drawn, and get copies of the ultrasound.
"Thank you!" I call as we walk out.
"That was the coolest experience of my entire life" he says.
Ugh I love this man. The coolest experience he's ever had is seeing his child? This man has been to Italy, Australia, Mexico... he's done some cool shit, but his baby tops it all and that warms my heart.
"Christmas shopping time!" I say excitedly as we get in the car.
"Alright hit me with it" he says, pulling out of the parking lot.
"Okay, first we have to go buy decorations, then we need to get a tree. I'm doing presents another day so that's all for now." I say.
"Toms going to hate this" he laughs.
"Yeah well he can suck it up." I laugh along with him.
