WILD AT HEART-FANFICTION
"Max" I call. "rosie" where are you? Max asks. In the bathroom I reply. He comes in, "what is it" he asks. I hold up the pregnancy test that reads positive. "Rosie that's great" Max exclaims excitedly. We hug and kiss "I can't believe our little baby is in there" max says. "We'll have to go for a scan at the hospital" I say just to find out how many weeks. "sure rosie , should we go today" Max asks. "Okay" I agree. After lunch we set off to Cape-town memorial hospital. Max helps me into his truck. I have a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach but I put it aside and I Think happy thoughts ,It won't be like last time I try and tell myself the miscarriage is still fresh in my mind. I wonder if max feels it too he is clutching the steering wheel so hard his knuckles are turning white. When we pull up we walk In to the sliding doors of the hospital. I tell my details to a nurse and she tells us to take a seat. Me and max hold hands and sit down on hard plastic chairs in the waiting room. "rosie gifthold" a nurse calls my name and me and max walk into the radiology room. "do you have any history of miscarriages" the nurse asks me. "I did have an accident involving an elephant" I reply sadly. The nurse writes something down and tells me to lay down on the bed. I get up on the bed, lay down and pull my t-shirt up. The nurse squirts ultrasound gel on my stomach and max squeezes my hand tight. There is a terrifying pause, but soon enough the nurse smiles and says "theres your baby" she tells us pointing to a minute blob on the screen. I look at max and he is smiling like the happiest man in the world. Tears are sneaking out of the corner of my eyes. I wipe them away hastily and the nurse wipes the gel off my stomach I pull my t-shirt down. "looks like you are about 6 weeks pregnant" the nurse tells us. I swing my legs off the bed. Me and max walk out of the hospital hand im hand. When we get back to the flat max say "hey rosie, I've got a great idea."what" I ask."Why don't we move back to leopards den, that way the baby will be close to your dad and everyone" Max suggests. "thats a greta idea max" I exclaim. I am so deliriously happy I don't know what to do with myself. I phone leopards den danny's familiar voice answers."hi dad" I say "rosie, how are you?" danny asks "I'm good" I reply. "I was just wondering could me and max move back to leopards den, I just miss everyone and it just somehow feels like home" "We'd love to have you" danny replies "when were you thinking of moving back in" he asks. "Um tommorow if thats alright" I reply. "great see you tommorow,bye" danny says."bye" I reply as I put the phone down. "max its a yes we can go tommorow" I hug him. "thats great rosie" he replies. I'll go and pack you don't need to lift a finger max says. I smile at his protectiveness. The next day we set off for leopards den. The drive takes about 2 hours. I keep falling into sleep on the way because I'm so tired."are you alright rosie" max asks with concern. "yeah I'm just tired thats all" I yawn. When we pull up at leopards den danny is there to greet us. "hi rosie,hi max" he says."hi dad" I hug him. "I'll show you two to your room" danny says. we follow him into the house and he shows us to our old room. "I'll leave you both to get settled he says,walking out of the room and closing the door behind him. Max is looking at me,"what" I ask "you haven't told your dad have you" max asks. "I sigh no not yet. I will, I'll just wait until the next scan, just to make sure everything's alright,its just after last time I explain. "When is the next scan max asks in 3 weeks I reply. "okay rosie" max puts his arms around my waist. We start unpacking and then walk down to dinner. Everyone is excited to see us. There is champagne to celebrate I discreetly pass mine to max and he tips it under the table. I think alice see's but she doesn't say anything thank god. After dinner alice goes to feed the animals I follow her " Hi rosie, how are you. She asks. "Great" I reply. Alice looks at me."rosie, can I ask you a question" she asks."sure" I reply. "are you... pregnant she asks" "yes" I admit, don't tell my dad yet I plead. I just want to make sure everythings alright, You know after last time, I try to explain myself. "it's okay rosie" Alice says gently I won't tell him. "Thanks" I hug her."I'm going to go and get some sleep" I tell her."goodnight". "Yeah Goodnight rosie" alice replies She watches me as I walk back to the house. I feel Fatigue in everypart of my body. I say goodnight to everyone and me and max go to bed. "max, alice knows I am pregnant""Does your dad know yet" he asks."no I asked alice not to tell him yet I think the secret is safe with her" I tell him. I collapse into bed and max climbs in beside me. "goodnight" max says putting his arm around me."Goodnight max" I reply. I wake to the sound of max getting dressed. "Whats the time max?"I ask. "10.30" he replies."MAX why didn't you wake me" I say. "I didn't want to wake you because you looked so peaceful" he replies "oh max" it was impossible to stay angry with him his blue eyes just melted my heart. We have a good morning kiss and then I get ready for the day. After breakfast I help feed the animals and The day flies by. Early the next morning I have my first bout of morning sickness Max holds me and rubs my back as I'm sick down the toilet. I don't have to worry about anyone hearing because danny and dup are at mara and nomsa is visiting her daughter thandi for a few days. "Are you alright rosie" max asks "Yeah sure" I reply I force myself to stand up. Max supports my back with his hand as I stand.
