3 months after the wedding...
One morning, Clay was woken up by the sound of someone being sick. He quickly realized that it was Quinn. Obviously it was Quinn, who else could it be. He jumped out of bed and ran into their bathroom to find Quinn throwing up. He hurried to her side and held her hair back for her and rubbed her back.
'Shh, it's okay baby, im here' Clay whispered into her ear as he held her shaking body when she finally finished being sick.
'I'm sorry im not so pretty for you this morning' Quinn said quietly with a shaken voice.
'Shh' he said again 'You're not pretty, you're beautiful, always.' as he pulled her closer to him. 'Im guessing your body doesn't like you eating chinese food anymore then' Clay said. They had chinese for dinner last night, so he thought that must of been what made her sick. However Quinn wasn't convinced. They both sat there in silence, Clay slightly worried, hoping she was okay, whereas Quinn was deep in thought.
'Pass me my phone please baby.' Quinn said. Clay stretched his hand up to the counter and passed Quinn her phone. She went straight to the Calendar. Clay, being a guy, was absolutely clueless.
'9, 10, 11, 12... 12!' Quinn whispered to herself as she was counting days. 'Clay.. baby.. I..I.. I'm 12 days late.' Quinn said with a smile. Clay looked at her with a confused face, he really had no idea what she meant and Quinn could tell. 'My period Clay, its twelve days late.. I'm never late.'
'Wait, that means..'
'U-huh' Quinn nodded. She stood up and went rummaging through one of the draws under the sink, pulling out a pregnancy test.
'Do it, quick! Now! With me here!' Clay said excitedly. And so she did. She set the test down on the side and set a timer on her phone to go off in exactly three minutes.
'When the timer goes off, we'll look at it together, okay?' Quinn asked
'Deal' Clay replied pulling her in for a hug and kissing her forehead. They stood like that for the whole three minutes, not talking or moving, just thinking. Clay was so excited, he really wanted a family with Quinn, ever since the day he met her, he wanted her to be the mother of his children. They'd be beautiful and talented just like her. Quinn was excited too, but she was also slightly worried; 'Will i be a good mom? Are we ready to be parents? How will we cope?' Were some of the things running through her mind. But then she thought about how much she actually wanted a family with Clay, she knew he'd be an amazing dad and she knew how much he wanted a family. Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud beeping noise, which made her jump.
'On the count of 2?' Clay asked.
'On the count of 2.' Quinn replied and took a deep breath.
'Okay.. 1...2.' Clay said. They both turned around at the same time and looked down at the pregnancy test.
Quinn burst into tears. 'Im so sorry Clay' she cried into his chest, her hands gripping onto his bare back.
'Hey, hey, it's okay, we can try again baby, we will try again' He said wrapping his arms around Quinn and holding her tight. That little negative sign on the pregnancy test stabbed his heart. He didn't realise how much it would hurt him, but he had to be strong for Quinn. They hadn't necessarily been trying for a baby, but they had stopped using contraception, in the hope that they would eventually get pregnant.

A couple weeks had gone by and Quinn still hadn't had her period. She thought she must of just missed on for some random reason, maybe because she had come off the pill, and her body was trying to adjust to it, after taking it every day for the past 7 years of her life. However she still wasn't completely convinced. So she went into the bathroom and took out another pregnancy test, a newer one, a more up-to-date one. A few minutes later and she heard Clay's car pull up outside, and she heard him walk in the front door.
'Quinn?' Clay shouted from the kitchen.
'Baby!' Quinn shouted as she ran to him, jumped in his arms, wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him all over his face.
'Someone's in a good mood?' He asked.
'Well, can't i be excited to see the man i love more than anything?' Quinn replied 'Oh.. i mean we. Can't we be excited to see you?' She asked. Clay had that familiar confused look on his face as he put her down on the ground.
'Put your hand in my back pocket' Quinn whispered. Clay's hand trailed down the center of her back, over and bum cheek and into the back pocket of her denim shorts. He could feel a rectangular object, but still had no idea. He raised an eye brow at Quinn. 'Just look at it baby' Quinn said. He pulled it out of her pocket and looked closely at it. It was the pregnancy test.
'Quinn! Are you serious?" He asked as she nodded. He looked back down at the test '10 weeks Quinn, you're 10 weeks pregnant!' He said as he picked her up and swung her round and kissed her. 'But what about that other test you took 2 weeks ago?'
'Well, i guess sometimes they are wrong' Quinn replied.
Clay sighed 'Oh... well.. what if this one is wrong too?' He said sadly. Quinn took him by the hand and lead them into their bathroom.
'I don't think all 5 of these tests would be wrong' she said pointing to 5 other tests on the side by the sink, all the little positive signs on. It made Clay laugh.
'Baby... we are having a baby!' Clay said and kissed her again. 'And i am going to make the next few months as easy as possible for you' He said as he picked her up and carried her into their bedroom and gently placed her on their bed. Clay rested his head on the pillow next to Quinn's, only centimeters apart. He put his hand on Quinn tummy and began talking to it.
'Hey little buddy, its your mommy and daddy here, we love you already and we can't wait to meet you so hurry out soon' Clay said in a soft voice. 'And please try not to hurt or annoy mommy too much, she's special you know... Oh and if you're a boy, you're gonna have some awesome eyebrows when you're older' Clay joked making Quinn laugh.
The two of them spent the rest of the evening talking about how excited they were and how they were going to decorate the nursery, until Quinn began to nod off to sleep.
Clay thought she had fell sleep so he started to the baby yet again while rubbing Quinn's belly.
'So baby, i know you're mommy acts all tough, but really she's super fragile, so for the next few months while you're in her tummy, you've got to be good to her okay? I know it's gonna be a long and painful journey for your momma, and i wish i could just take that all away from her and me be the one that has to go through the pain, but i cant. It doesn't seem fair that the mommy's have to do all the work while the daddy's do nothing, so me and you have gotta work together to make sure its not too bad for mommy okay? Can you do that for me baby?' Clay was talking to the baby, obviously he wasn't going to get a response, but it was something he needed to say. He didn't realise Quinn was still awake and listening. She laid there pretending to be asleep just listening to him talk to their baby. When Clay had stopped talking to the baby, Quinn moved her hand to his face and pulled it closer to hers. She didn't even have to open her eyes to know where he was, she could just feel his presence. She slowly pulled his face even closer to hers, and whispered 'I love you so much' before kissing him deeply.
