Remember Humanity

Chapter 12

"Are you going to help me or not?" I asked my dear husband annoyed. Liam just looked at the needle and scratched the back of his head.

We were currently reading all the instructions in a manual in the maternity part of my doctors office. I had no clue what to do. I hate this feeling. Since there was basically no children or new births, they had stopped teaching all baby related things in med school when I was around 10 years old. Luckily while I was looking around I found this manual that explained different things about pregnancy. One of the things being if you're actually pregnant or not.

"Can't you just do the pee one?" Liam asked me in a whiny voice.

"Ugh! Liam I already told you the blood test is more accurate! So let's not waste our time wondering," I snapped back. Liam sighed at my reply and I immediately felt bad.
"I'm sorry it's just been a crazy day, and after remembering that Kyle knows where we are... it makes me scared to have a child," I admitted to Liam looking down.

"I know Ava-tar, but we need to know. You know what if you don't feel like you need to know then I need to know," he said with a smirk trying to make me laugh.

I face palmed myself after his statement. Oh Liam. I love you, but that was so dumb of you to say. I was the one wanting the more accurate pregnancy test, not you. I groaned but decided to not say anything.

"Okay then help me draw blood. If I was able to do it myself I would but I can't," I said with a sigh.

"I don't want to hurt you though," Liam whined again.

"Liam you won't hurt me!" I exclaimed throwing my hands down in frustration.

After the same argument and going back and forth I finally got him to agree. I carefully instructed him in the parts that I needed assistance in.

Once I had the blood we both turned back to the manual that is currently the most important thing in the universe to us. After reading it thoroughly three times I followed what it said word by word. Too afraid to mess anything up. I even made Liam read it out loud to me while I was in the action of following.

At last Liam and I were just sitting on the Gatch bed side by side silently. We just waited for what the results would be. It's supposed to take about 15 minutes but it feels like an eternity right now. Geez can time move any slower?

"Even with the threat of Kyle I want you to know that I hope it's positive," Liam whispered breaking the silence.
I turned my head to look at him. Liam still looked forward not meeting my gaze as he continued talking. "I've always wanted to have kids. I just never thought it would be possible. Especially after both of my brothers tested negative. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I want this. I want all of it... and I want it with you."

I was stunned. My husband is so sweet. How have I not gotten a stomach ache from how sweet he is yet?

"I want it with you too. I'm glad that if I'm pregnant that it'll be yours," I whispered slightly embarrassed.

"Yeah our child will be mine since you wanted me," Liam joked with a smirk. My eyes widen and my face heated up. Now why did he have to say it like that? Actually why did he have to say that at all?

"Awww you're so cute when you're all flustered," Liam said with a smile while poking my nose. Suddenly mad I opened my mouth getting ready to tell this overly hot man what was up.

Bing!

The results!

Completely forgetting what I was about to do I got off the Gatch bed and ran to the foreign machine. I took out the manual to see how to tell what the results are. I kept looking back and forth and it never changed.

Positive.

I felt myself gasp and drop the book once it sunk in. I'm pregnant. I have a baby inside of me! A real living and growing thing. Not just any baby my baby! Well duh it's your baby Ava it's inside you.

"What is it?" Liam asked cutting my thoughts off by standing directly behind me.

I turned around and met his eyes. My face lit up seeing how his face was anxious, but in a good way. It was anxious like a kid getting in a car with his mom to go get ice cream... I could be that mom now. 

He saw the expression on my face and smiled as big as me.
"It's positive isn't it?" He asked hopefully.

I wanted to yell out yes, but for some reason my voice wasn't working because I was so happy. Since my voice decided to leave I nodding my head like a crazy person with too much caffeine in their system.

Liam laughed and hugged me tight. He picked me up and twirled me around in a quick circle before setting me down on my own two feet again. He held my shoulders securely in a protective way and asked me, "We're going to be parents?" I nodded excitedly. "I'm going to be a dad?" He said through a happy wheeze. I again nodded with a huge smile.

He hugged me again and we just stayed in each other's arms, enjoying the moment of pure joy. I'm pretty sure this moment was perfect. I have a wonderful husband and a baby on the way. Wow I'm gonna have a baby.

Wait I'm pregnant. Do I know what I'm doing? Absolutely not. Does Liam know what he's doing? I seriously doubt it. Will we have to ask Dr. Griff for some help and advice? Most likely. Let's see how this goes.
