I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
The popular song played on the radio of Troy's Toyota Tacoma, he still has the old beat up one but when he got accepted to Berkeley his parents gave him the red pickup truck as a graduation present, it was comfortable for a small truck and it was very reliable.
We drove in a comfortable silence until the voice on the TomTom told us to turn left. I had never been to this doctor before, I'd hadn't really had a need to see this kind of doctor since I moved to California, I guess I don't really like doctors. The voice on the navigational guide made me laugh, it was Darth Vader. I think Troy's obsession with Star Wars is cute, secretly I actually love Star Wars as well, but I'm pretty sure it's for a different reason than Troy is. I think the story of Anakin and Padme is a beautiful one. Besides the part where he chokes her, they're life and love reminds me of myself and Troy. We kind of have to keep a low profile since Troy is actually a big basketball star out here, wow I'm kind of drifting off subject here.
We pulled into the parking lot as Darth Vader announced "Your journey to the dark side is now complete" and shut off. I hopped out of the passenger door and Troy met me and gave me a long comforting hug before taking my hand in his and opening the door for us to walk inside.
After we signed in we sat in a relatively empty waiting room. I knew Troy was trying to get my mind off of what was happening but I played along anyway.
"Hey Nik invited us out to dinner with his girlfriend Jackie Friday night. Do you think you might be up to that?" Troy asked while rubbing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.
"Yeah, that would be great." I didn't really care either way but Nik was Troy's best friend, he was one of his groomsmen at our wedding. Are wedding was so beautiful, but to be honest that didn't matter nearly as much as our wedding night.
I walked down the aisle of the beautiful church, decorated perfectly, but all I could see was the man at the end of the aisle, my man. I gave him a little smile and he grinned that wonderful smile back at me. For a moment I took my eyes off of him to look at the rest of our wedding party. Chad Danforth gave me a little head nod as his still massive hair bobbed up and down. On the other side Taylor McKessie, my best friend look at me with a sly grin, then went back to admiring everything that she had done, I put her in charge of pretty much everything. Troy's teammate and good friend Nik also stood in his party along with a few others including Ryan. Kelsey and Sharpay also rounded out my side of the wedding party. Sharpay and I had actually become pretty good friends after our high school history, she was actually a really fun to hang out with as a matter of fact. Anyway, back to what matters.
I finally got to the end of the aisle and Troy's father let go of my arm and went to sit next to his wife. It was now just me and Troy.
Our vows went by quick, it was actually kind of a blur until the pastor said "You may now kiss this bride" and suddenly our lips touched and at that moment I wished we could have stayed like that forever.
The reception went by rather quickly, we got hugged by a bunch of people, opened a lot of presents, danced a lot, and heard "CONGRADULATIONS! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST YOU GREW UP!!" about a thousand times, it was nauseating. Finally our limo pulled up and we were 10 steps from our honeymoon.
We spent 5 days in San Diego but we could have been anywhere in the world because all we needed was each other.
The nurse called our name and we got up and quietly followed the nurse into an examination room. She motioned for me to sit on the table and told us the doctor would be in momentarily.
5 minutes later the doctor walked in and read over my file, realizing why I was here.
"Says he that you came in to confirm a pregnancy. Am I correct?" the doctor asked looking up at me.
"Yeah, that's right." I replied sheepishly.
"Alright well why don't I just take a blood sample and I'll be able to tell you in about 10 minutes." The doctor already had a tray filled with needles and syringes so it was relatively quick. She walked out of the room leaving the two of us alone.
Troy hopped up on the table and put his arm around my back. I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes, trying to relax.
We stayed like that for the entire time up to the return of the doctor. She came in and sat down, cleared her throat and began talking.
"Well, Mrs. Bolton, you are indeed pregnant. Congratulations! If you don't have any questions you can schedule an appointment, I want to see you in 1 month's time."
I sat there in silence for a couple minutes before I answered with a simply "OK" and walked out of the room. I decided I would schedule one later because right now I just wanted to go home. I kept walking until I got to the truck, opened the door and hopped inside closing the door behind me.
Troy drove me home without a word, knowing that I didn't want to talk right now. When we got home I flopped myself down on the couch.
"I forgot that I'm supposed to have practice tonight so let me go call coach and let him know I'm not going to be there. I'll be right back." He winked at me a bolted from the room. A couple minutes later he came in and picked me up in his arms and carried me to our bedroom. He sat me down and walked over to the other side. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. I snuggled into him and closed my eyes, soon I drifted to sleep in his arms.
