Matt says, "If this first day of seeing each other after all this time is any indication, I think we are going to give ourselves a lot for you to write about, perhaps for a soap opera?"
Betty laughs, "Alright, Mr. Smarty Pants, so we have material for the adult channel from what we did earlier and now the baby show in one day."
Matt says, "Yes, I guess we do, and I wouldn't want it any other way." Matt then kisses her gently.
Betty, raising her eyebrows suggestively, says, "I guess we should eat and then, since we don't need to worry about getting pregnant, we could engage in some additional "extracurricular activities" without needing protection."
Matt responds, "That idea is incredibly appealing, as long as it won't hurt the baby, which I've read is not an issue as long as someone doesn't have problems."
Betty says, "I saw the same thing, that sex is ok when pregnant."
Matt replies, "I'd prefer to say making love, because that is what we'd be doing and, yes, this will be the first time I've ever had sex without a condom, so you truly are the first, and I hope last person, with whom I share that experience."
Betty says, "Matt that is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said and I hope you are the only person I share such an experience with too."
They share a tender kiss, then eat the meal, and then go to bed…eventually actually getting some sleep.
Matt wakes up before Betty. He rubs his eyes, almost pinching himself to make sure that he is not dreaming and he is really laying in bed with the woman he loves who, if the test is right, is going to have their baby. He wraps his arms around her and draws her closer. After several minutes, he reluctantly gets out of bed and starts searching on the computer for OB offices so they can confirm the pregnancy and see that everything is all right.
Betty wakes up about a ½ hour later, initially startled, but then exhaling a sigh of relief when she realizes she isn't dreaming and Matt is really there. Then, she remembers the pregnancy and shivers.
"Matt, can you please come over here and lay with me for a little bit. I am nervous about the pregnancy. You are looking for a doctor, aren't you?" says Betty.
"I'm ready for a break anyway and, yes, I was starting to look up OBs nearby," answers Matt.
They lay in bed for a few minutes when Betty says, "Well, show me what you have found so far."
Betty comes over and sits on Matt's lap as he shows her the list of doctors and their websites that he has found. Matt kisses Betty's neck, with her presence in his lap feeling like she is meant to be there.
She giggles and says, "Isn't this how we got ourselves in this situation in the first place? We'll have plenty of time for cuddling and more later… let's focus on this doctor search."
"Your right," responds Matt, "But can you blame me? I love having you this close, it just feels right."
"I can't express how much I am enjoying being here with you too, it feels like home, but back to the business at hand. How about Dr. Mills and Associates, their credentials look great," remarks Betty.
"Fine with me, do you want to call or shall I?" says Matt.
"I'll call," says Betty, "I just hope they don't think I am totally stupid for not knowing I was pregnant."
"Of course they won't Betty. While it's uncommon to not realize one is pregnant, it's not unheard of," remarks Matt, giving her a hug of reassurance.
"That's true," says Betty. "Oh my God, is that what I think it was? Maybe I'm hallucinating. Matt, put your hand here, did you feel that?"
Matt, giving her a quick kiss, replies, "Yes, I did, and I am beginning to think that test is right. In fact, I am not ashamed to admit that I hope it is right because I can't imagine anything better than having a baby with you. Let's call the doctor. And, by the way, if you want to keep this quiet until it is confirmed, let me pay for it so you don't need to use your insurance."
"That sounds like a plan. If I get to choose who is the father of my child, it would definitely be you. And, your paying is a good idea. Thanks for thinking of it. I don't want to announce this until we know everything is fine with the baby, our baby," says Betty, kissing Matt in return.
Matt rubs Betty's shoulders for support as she calls the doctor's office they selected. The receptionist says that they do not have an appointment for two days. When Betty explains how far along she thinks she is, they recommend that she purchase some vitamins and start using them just in case.
