Chapter 10
It's been two months since Riz and I have been working things out and things are better. We can't seem to keep our hands off of each other and even the girls at Vickie's have left him alone. We are both off work today and I decide it's time to go to the doctor. I get up and start getting dressed. "Where are you going?" Riz asks. "To the doctor. I'm...um...I'm late." I tell him. "How late?" he asks. "A month." I say softly. He cups my face and says "Let's get you checked out." before kissing me softly.
We get to the doctor and we get into the exam room, the doctor comes in. "Mrs Ariza, what seems to be the problem today?" she asks and I look at Riz and he's smiling at me being called Mrs Ariza. "I'm late on my period. Wanted to get a pregnancy test done." I tell her. "Have you been trying?" she asks and Riz says "Relentlessly." I blush and the doctor just laughs. "Well, let's draw some blood and see what we can find out. The nurse draws blood and a few minutes later the doctor comes in and says "Pregnancy test came back positive. Congratulations. Now, let's see how far along this little angel is." she tells me as she moves the ultrasound machine over. Putting the gel on my stomach, she moves the wand around and we hear a little wamp wamp sound. "Oh my God. Is that?" I ask. "The heartbeat. Good and strong." she tells me smiling and I look at Riz and he's smiling ear to ear. She moves the wand around a little more and we see a little blob on the screen. After doing measurements, she prints the pictures and says "You're seven weeks pregnant. We'll get your next appointment set up and get you started on your prenatals." she tells us before leaving the room to give us a minute. Riz is looking at the ultrasound pictures and smiling wide. He looks at me and says "We're having a kid." I smile softly and say "Yeah baby. We are." I tell him. Kissing me softly he says "Te amo mi amor." I whisper back "Te amo."
We head to the clubhouse and I had called Vickie to have her meet us there. "We need to tell you all something." Riz says as he pulls me in front of him and his hand goes right to my stomach. Vickie gasps and says "You're pregnant." I smile wide and nod my head yes. She pulls me into a hug and we hold each other tight as the guys start congratulating Riz. Hank walks over to me and pulls me into a hug and says "We're happy for you little one." I hug him back and say "Thank Tranq. Seriously." Riz pulls me back into his side and I can't help but smile. He leans down next to my ear and whispers "Te amo Mami." I smile and whisper "Te amo Papi." before pressing my lips to his in a gentle kiss that he deepens just a little and we hear everyone still cheering around us.
We sit for a little while before heading home. Walking into the house, I walk to the kitchen to cook and he tells me that we will order dinner. "Are you sure? I can cook." I tell him. "I'm sure. Come here." he tells me and he leads me to the couch. We sit down and I ask "Are you really happy about the baby?" He kisses me softly and says "I have never been happier bebita." I smile softly and say "I can't believe we're having a baby. This was all I wanted Michael. I wanted to have a husband that loves me and to be a mom." I tell him. "Now you have both." he tells me. "I do. I really do. And I'm close to my sister too." I tell him and he pulls me closer and just holds me close.
