I sat down with a sick feeling in my stomach and just stared at the little + mark on the pregnancy test and I didn't believe it. I didn't know how it could have happened, I mean I knew how it happened but I still didn't understand when it happened. I finally realized this was real and not a dream. I kinda smiled, because I always wanted a child but I didn't know how my boyfriend, Norman, was going to take it. Norman was away at a convention and I didn't want to text him or even call him about it, because this was something you'd normally do in person. I got a text from him and he said 'Hey babe, I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna be home tomorrow. Call me, I want to hear your voice.'

I ended up crying, and trying to work through how to tell him we were going to have a baby together. I sat down and watched some South Park and laughed and decided I'd call Norman and just ask how the convention went. We talked for about 30 mins and he said 'Hey babe, I've gotta go my break is over and I've got a long line of people waiting... I'll talk to you tonight. Love you!' I loved hearing his voice and it made me think about our future together. I smiled and rubbed my stomach, knowing that I have a living and growing being inside me made me cry again.

Norman got home the next day and I was so happy, with him being gone for weeks at a time I realized just how much I missed him. I ran up to him, and looked up at him and almost got lost in his blue eyes. 'I missed you' he said. I kissed him and looked down at the bag he had in his hand. 'Oh.. uh I got you some stuff while I was away.' I loved how even though there was distance between us, he always thought of me. He started to pull out all kinds of shirts and other things. He pulled a shirt out and held it behind his back and when I got comfy he showed it to me, I noticed that he had on his Circle Jerks shirt and I noticed that the shirt was an exact match to the one he had on. 'Now we can match and you won't be stealing this one from me' I couldn't believe it. I held it up and said 'I'm gonna go change into it right now' and I went into the bedroom to change and I quickly looked at the tag it was the size I wore, but how long could I wear it for until it was just hanging in the closet? I put it on, and came out and Norman said 'Aww' and I said 'Thanks for everything' and he said 'No problem, I love you. I'd do anything for you' and I looked into his eyes and said 'I have a surprise for you to..' and he said 'You do?' and looked at me with a puzzled look. I went into the bathroom and grabbed the 2 positive pregnancy tests off the counter. I rubbed my belly and said 'Here goes nothing' and I came out and was standing in front of him with a look of fear on my face. 'What's wrong? Come here. If anything's wrong, tell me.' I handed him one pregnancy test and he looked at it and up at me and back down at it. I handed him the second one and he held both of them and looked up at me and back and forth in total silence. All of sudden he put both of them down, and got up and walked over to me and rubbed my stomach and said 'We're having a baby! I can't wait!' I kinda smiled, and he said 'I can't wait to tell Mingus that he's getting a sibling! He's going to be so excited!'

A few weeks had passed and I was already showing. I accepted this and was happy that Norman was happy. It was a calm time period, no filming, no conventions, just us. I enjoyed moments like this and I treasured every second. It was Norman's week to watch Mingus and it was also the week we were going to break the news that he was going to have a sibling. I sat in the passenger seat in a baggy shirt to hide my belly. Norman got out and walked over and picked him up and carried him to the car. "Dad I can walk. Put me down." I heard Mingus say. I giggled a bit. "Sorry can't help it, in my mind you're my little boy" Norman said.

Pretty soon we were back at the apartment, and I plopped down on the couch. Mingus plopped down right beside me while Norman made some dinner. I grabbed the remote and asked 'So, what do you wanna watch little buddy?' and Mingus said 'South Park.. wait no something scary!' I said 'Okay scary it is!' and I pulled out the remake of Halloween and sat back down. We started watching it and I curled up to Norman to act scared. He looked at me and said 'It's okay babe, it's only a movie' and I giggled and kissed him. "Eww get a room" I heard Mingus say with a giggle. I noticed Norman hand put his arm around my belly. I kinda forgot about the news. I noticed the movie was over and I looked at Mingus and said "Mind if I ask you a question?" and he said "Depends what is it?" and he looked up at me. I looked at Norman and he asked 'Well, buddy if you had the chance would you like a brother or sister?" and he looked at him with a weird look and said "Well dad, I would like to have a sibling, but yeah it probably won't ever happen." he looked depressed. "You know all my friends have siblings and here I am all by myself..." and I frowned and said "Well... guess what buddy?" "What?" He said "Wait here I got a surprise to make up for that." I said. I went into the bedroom and pulled out the ultrasound pictures I had, you could barely make out the little human but still. I walked out and said "Okay ready for your surprise? Close your eyes" and he closed his eyes and I put the pictures in his lap and said 'Okay you can open your eyes now!' and he looked down at the pictures and said 'Hey dad, why did you give me these? I've already seen what I looked like inside mommy's tummy.' and Norman said 'No buddy look at the date.' with a smirk. Mingus looked at the date which was a few days before today's date. His eyes got wide and he started screaming and crying. "I'M GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER! I'M GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!" and I started crying and Norman whispered in my ear 'I think you don't have to worry about him feeling left out." He ran up to me and hugged me, I was short but his head still came up to my stomach and he hugged me and noticed I was bigger than usual. He looked up at me and started putting his hand on my stomach. "I don't feel it kicking, is something wrong?!" he looked up at me with fear in his eyes. "Nah, it's just gonna take a while before your little brother or sister gets big enough to want to talk to us." Norman said with a giggle. I lifted up my shirt to show him my little bump and he just started hugging me and didn't want to let go.

In reality we could take care of Mingus as long as we wanted. As long as we weren't keeping him against his will. Ever since he found out about this huge news, he didn't want to leave my side. Everywhere I went he'd be right there. I had an appointment coming up in a few days and knew he would be so excited to go and see his possible brother or sister. I kept it secret until the very day we had to go. I woke up and had butterflies in my stomach because I really wanted to see my future baby. I woke Norman up and he was like '5 more mins' and I said 'My appointment is at 11 and it's already almost 10:30 now we have to hurry..' and I went into Mingus' room and woke him up and he looked at me and said "IS SOMETHING WRONG?!" and I said "No. I just have another surprise for you." and we have to get to the place at 11 and we're fixing to be late if we don't hurry and get ready. He slugged out of bed and got dressed and was all excited. Norman was running a little behind and I said "Ya know, I'm pregnant and I can get ready faster than you." and he looked at me and laughed. Mingus was already halfway out the door and screaming COME ON WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!

We pulled up at the doctor's office and got out and we barely made it. 10:55 is what the clock read when we finally got into the building. I noticed it wasn't really crowded. A few sick people coughed and I saw some little kids playing with the toys they had set out. Reedus? The nurse called and I got up and they took me back and I laid on the exam table and Mingus was like "Is she sick? Is that why we're here?!" and Norman said "No son, just be patient." All of a sudden the doctor came in and asked questions. I calmly replied to each of them. Then she said "Okay lets take a look." and I bit my lip this is the moment I was waiting for. They turned out the lights and put the jelly on my expanding stomach. All of a sudden we saw the little human and Norman was holding my hand and smiling and I looked over and saw the baby and saw Mingus just staring at the screen. He was crying. I started to cry. We saw the little human for a while and the doctor said everything seemed to be okay. The doctor asked if we had any questions, and Mingus asked am I getting a baby brother or sister? The doctor tried to tell, but couldn't be sure. Sorry buddy, I can't really tell. It looks like a sister, but it's still to early to tell. In a few months we should be able to tell. We got some pictures and Norman couldn't wait to upload a picture to Instagram for all his fans to see, he shared the news about the baby by taking a picture of the pregnancy tests and posting them on Instagram with the caption 'Came home from an awesome weekend to this! #Excited ❤' ' He decided he had to take a picture to show what he was up to today. He waited til he got home and then laid me on the bed and with my stomach exposed and Mingus with his hand on my belly holding the ultrasound photos with the caption 'My girl and my son and my ? ❤'' and he posted a tweet saying "Today my son got to see his brand new sibling and the next time he visits we find out what we're having! #Excited" He asked his followers "Tweet me with what you think we're having and name ideas!" He got a lot of replies, some of them were rude and directed towards me. He started blocking hateful fans who said they hoped you lost the baby' and 'Leave her because the baby isn't yours!'
