Dixie and Noah Unexpected

Chapter 9

Noah POV:

"So does Part A go into Part B, or does part B go into Part A." I asked Dixie. "I don't know, how did you do it with the other side?" She asked me "the other side was different." I told her. "Either you don't know how to put together anything without pictures, or I bought the most complicated Crib ever." She laughed. "Probably a bit of both." I laughed as well "You know we don't have to put this together just yet. Because he will just be sleeping with us for the first few months." She told me. "No. This needs to get done soon. So we can get this place more ready-ish." I told her.

We have 3 months at this point. And we still have so much to get done. Things are getting real you and I'm starting to get worried. Tatum told me yesterday that I am "nesting." Which maybe I am. All I know is that my kid is going to be here in a few months. And things need to get moving. "Noah if it makes you feel any better. When I was crying about how I was missing out on my teenage years last night I ended up ordering a whole bunch of things for him on your credit card." She told me while patting my shoulder lowkey teasing me. "Good, when is it coming?!" I asked "You really are nesting, but there not coming all at the same time." She told me still kind of laughing.

"Ring,riiinnng,ring." I heard. "It's mine." Dixie announced. I saw her facial expression change immediately. "Ummmm Noah it's from my OB office." She said while obviously scared. "Hey, babe it's probably nothing. Just turn it on speaker." I told her, while putting my arm over my shoulder. She accepts the call. She was leaning into me, very tense. I kissed the top of her head. Attempting to relax her. "Hello is this Dixie Jane Damelio?" a lady with a warm voice asked. "Yes this is her." Dixie responded "Hello, this is Darlene from LAC+USC medical center, I'm calling to let you know that your External cephalic version appointment was cancelled. But we are able to offer you another one at 2 45 this afternoon. I am so sorry for this inconvenience." She told us sweetly "No thats completely fine. 2:45 would work great." She told her. "Ok. Thank you. I will put you down for it. So, we would like to ask that you have somebody to drive to back after. Becuase you maybe a bit loopy from the medication we have to give you. Do you have somebody?" She asked "Yes" I said for her. "That's great. The protocols have changed and You are allowed to have 1 person in the room with you." She told her. Dixie had to go to a few appointments with out anybody with her. Becuase of covid protocols. And it was quite sad for both of us. I'm not gonna lie I may have cried. While waiting in the parking lot for her. It was tough. So this was really nice for both of us.

We finished getting all the information from the receptionist. Her informing us that we will be able to get a sonogram today as well. Making me so excited.

"So who's going to take you?" I said jokingly "I don't know. I was thinking about inviting you but I'm not sure." She joked "OK well I will just wait in the lonely car.Alone.Sad.Distraught." I added dramatically. "Don't be ridiculous. You are coming I am forcing you." She told me. I laughed while she let me know that she was going to go finish editing her newest YouTube video. While I was going to go try and conquer the crib. And possibly call my mom.

My mom has been over the moon about the baby. After she got over her stage of crying...yelling...more crying. She was so excited and has been bombarding Dixie and I with phone calls. She knows that she probably won't be able to visit for a while cause of the whole Covid situation. Which I had my dad break to her. Becuase I did not want to deal with the distraught mess that would be my mother. She is cool now though. She just asks that she can see him over FaceTime when possible. Which can definitely happen.

As for my dad and sisters. Tatum loves to hold it over my head and tease me about that I am having a kid out of wedlock. Halley is thrilled. My dad has finally cooled down about the whole situation. Took him a while. Dixies dad has to a extent. Still not very happy. They aren't really on the best of terms. But he will have to. But we are finally on the same page. I talked to him last night, and he admitted that he didn't think that we would actually keep it, we would change our minds. But after we made it past the 24 week abortion limit, he realized we were serious, and he needed to get with it. I knew why he was so upset at us though.
