Nick woke me up with a kiss on the forehead. It was 9:30 AM and I have to be at the appointment at 11. I got in the shower and quickly washed off. Hoping that a warm shower would wash away all my worries but of course, it didn't. I hoped so much that I wasn't pregnant but, deep inside I thought a baby would be nice, especially after seeing Nick's reaction. The baby would be a lot of work though but, we had our parents and maybe I could even except my real Mom to be in his life. His? Where did I get his from? Weird. I guess maybe the baby is boy. Wait, I don't even know if I'm pregnant. Wow, this pregnancy is messing with my head. Pregnancy? Ugh. I DON'T KNOW IF IM PREGNANT! I screamed inside my head. Maybe I am. I couldn't help but think. I looked down at my flat stomach. I lifted my shirt up and reached up and touched my bare skin. I was so confused. I didn't know what I wanted. This is all so confusing. Nick came into the bathroom, making me snap back into reality.
"Baby, its almost time to go." He said.
"Ok, I'll be done in a minute." I said, knowing I was already down. Nick didn't put up a fight knowing I was already ready too. He walked out of the bathroom. He was way to sweet, I smiled at know one in particular, Wow, I really am crazy about this baby thing, Deep inside though, I thought it wouldn't be so bad. Not bad at all. I smiled again, I walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs to get Nick. He was sitting on the couch waiting patently.
"I'm ready to go." I said nervously. Nick got up and we went outside and got in the car. When we were driving there, I looked out the window paying attention to all the details of the trees and houses, trying to get my mind off of, you know. The drive went by way to quickly. It seemed like only 2 minutes when really it was more like 20 minutes. Nick parked the car and I slowly got out. We walked up to the door holding hands and Nick opened the door for me. I quickly let go off Nick's hand so he wouldn't notice that I was shaking lightly but the pace was picking up slowly. I did a couple pages off paper work and a few minutes later the Doctor called my name. I got up nervously. My hands were sweating and my knees were knocking, not to
mention my whole body was shaking. I felt like I was going to pass out. Nick and I followed a doctor into a quiet room. I sat down on the bed thing and Nick sat down in a chair. The doctor left the room and we just sat in awkward silence,
"The gay baby has just been born." Nick whispered, trying to lighten the mood after a while of awkward silence. The doctor came in shortly after that with a little medicine bottle it looked like.
"I need you to urinate in this bottle." He instructed.
"Ok." I said.
"There is a bathroom down the hallway, first door to the right, When you are finished, come back in here and hand the bottle to me and I'll take it to run some tests." He said as he handed me the bottle in his hand. I walked down the hallway until I saw the first door on the right and walked in. I quickly did what I needed to do and walked back in the room. I nervously handed the bottle back to the doctor and he exited the door. We sat in awkward silence, again. I didn't want to talk and Nick didn't want to push me. The doctor came back in a few minutes ago.
"The lab test results will be in a few hours. It's 1pm now so come back at 3pm." The doctor said.
"Ok, thanks." I smiled at him. Nick and I walked out and still didn't say a word by the time we got home, he just blew.
"Why are you talking?! Please talk to me! I don't know what to do and your just making it harder!" Nick yelled.
"Calm down, I was just nervous and I was afraid." I said quietly.
"Oh, ok. I'm sorry." He said apologetic.
"It's fine." I said.
Nick and I sat in the couch and cuddled while watching t.v. We were in the middle of watching a show. I wasn't sure what it was because I was just staring at Nick the whole time, He is so beautiful.
"I'm Hungry." I said.
"I'll make some peanut butter and jelly." Nick replied.
"Ok." I said, I wasn't really in the mood for it but it'll have to do. He made 2 sandwiches for both of us. I scarfed my 2 down really fast. I was still hungry.
"Can I have 1 of your sandwiches?" I asked Nick.
"Sure." He replied as he handed me 1 of his sandwiches. When we were done, I noticed it was 2:45.
"We have to go." I told Nick. We got in his car and drove to the hospital. It wasn't as awkward as the first time but we still didn't talk and I still focused on looking out the window. When we got there, it was just a replay of earlier. I was nervous, they called my name, we walked into a plain room, still nervous. Nick and I were sitting in a room similar to the one earlier. We were waiting for the doctor to come back and tell us the results. This was the most awkwardest moment ever today. A few minutes later the doctor finally came back. It seemed like hours.
"You might want to sit down for this." The doctor said, knowing we were both already sitting down.
"Go on." I said, in a hurry to get this over with. I heard Nick take in a deep shaky breath. I did the same.
"You're -" I cut the doctor off.
"First I have to say something important. Whatever happens, I'm still going to love you, Nick. We will work through this. I promise." I said.
"We can get through this." He said back.
"Ok, here are the results." The doctor said.
"Go on." Nick said this time.
"You're 6 weeks pregnant." The doctor said. I was shocked but I wasn't. It was weird, some how I knew I was pregnant. I looked down at my flat stomach and put my hand on it. Nick joined me. It was so weird but fascinating know that there was a living human being growing inside of you. It depends on you. I loved my little peanut already.
"I'm going to be a mother..." I whispered. It was the first thing I said since the doctor announced the news.
"I'm going to be a father,.." Nick whispered.
"I'm just going to give you guys some time alone." The doctor said awkwardly as he walked out the door. I kept my hand on my stomach and used the other one to reach over and grab Nick's free hand.
"Were going to be parents." I said. It felt nice to say it out loud , before it didn't seem real and now it was like wow!
"We should get home, so you can rest." Nick told me. We walked out of the room and went home, I kept my hand on my stomach the whole time and held one of Nick's hands while he was driving. We went inside and fell asleep cuddled together on his bed. Next step was to tell our parents.....
"We have to go." I told Nick.
