"Teddy, have you been gaining weight?" Spencer asked as he watched me get dressed. I was in a bra and underwear.
"Wow, you're nice, calling me fat."
"It just seems like your stomach is getting bulgier than it was like a month ago."
"Spencer, maybe I've just been eating too much." I put a shirt over my head.
"Maybe you should lay off the cookies." Spencer joked. "No, but I don't know… How much do you weigh?"
"I don't know. I haven't weighed myself in a while."
"Well go get on the scale and see how much you've gained."
"Fine, to make you happy. I probably just gained a couple of pounds." I stepped on the scaled. "And I am 130…"
"How many pounds did you gain?"
"Something is wrong with this scale, I was just 120."
"Teddy you are getting fat."
"I haven't even had a change in my diet or my daily exercise."
"Maybe you should go to the doctor's to see if something is wrong with you." Spencer suggested.
"Or maybe this scale is broken."
"Yeah, you broke it with your fat self." Spencer joked.
"I'm not fat, but fine, I'll make an appointment with my doctor just to prove you wrong." I put on a pair of pants and grabbed my phone off the charger. I called the doctor's office and made and appointment for Wednesday, for a physical. "There done, watch me prove you wrong."
"Okay baby, prove me wrong."
Brendan's POV
L: What do I even wear to those kinds of events?
B: Just wear a dress or something that will make you look nice.
"B, here's a question." My mom said walking into my room. "Dad says I'm getting fat, what do you think?" She lifted her shirt up to show me her belly.
"You're getting fat, sorry mom."
"Told you!" Dad shouted.
"I'm not getting fat, I'm just not!"
I laughed and read the new text I got.
L: This outfit?
B: Yeah, that's fine. I'll be over around five with a car to drive us.
Later that day, a car came to pick me up and told the driver to drive over to Liv's house to pick her up. When we go to her house, I texted her that I was here and she came out a few moments later. She opened the car door and got in.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Hey, you look nice."
She blushed a little. "Thanks, so do you."
"Trust me, you look better than I do." I placed my phone back in my pocket once I texted back one of my friends.
"So like, what should I expect at this premiere, it's my first if you didn't know that." She joked.
"Uh, paparazzi for sure but they won't care about you or will get your picture taken unless you want to with me, uh, lots of celebrities, fans, interviewers, free food and that's pretty much it. I don't really have any fans nor will get interviewed so I don't have to worry about that."
"Are any of your friends going?"
"Mhm… the ones you met a few weeks ago will and a bunch of other friends but not school friends."
"I kinda figured. I bet all the girls are going to hate me especially Sienna because I'm going out with you… tonight, I mean." She added.
"Maybe we can make it more than just tonight."
When we got there, I had to take pictured on the carpet and Liv stood on the side while I did that. Once I was done, we headed inside the building. It was pretty crowded but all these events usually are.
"Hey Brendan, did your father come?" One of his friends asked coming up to me.
"Oh, hey Justin. No he didn't come, he's at home. He just wants to spend as much time as possible with my mom before he leaves for a couple of months."
"Oh, right, the movie. Production starts next month, right?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Is this your girlfriend?"
"This is Olivia, we go to school together."
"Hi." She said.
"Hey, did Danny come?"
"Uh, yeah, he is somewhere around here with his friends."
"Come on Olivia." I said.
"Hey, tell your family I said hey." He shouted as we walked away.
"Who was that?"
"That was one of my dad's friends and Danny is his son I'm real good friends with."
"Oh… Well this is very cool."
"Yeah, these events are a bunch of fun to attend also."
A few hours later, the event was over. I had the driver take Liv home first before dropping me off.
"I had a lot of fun, tonight." She said.
"Maybe we can go out again, I mean if you want. I promise next time won't be so public."
She laughed. "Yeah, definitely. I'll see you at school on Monday. Thanks again for a fun time, bye."
"Bye."
Wednesday January 16, 2030
After I dropped Cara at her dance class, I headed over to the doctor's since I had an appointment for a physical. I signed in and had to wait about fifteen minutes before being called back. I waited in my room a couple of minutes before my doctor came in.
"Hello, Teddy, how are you?" Dr. Hyland asked.
"I'm good, you?"
"I'm well."
"So you are here for a physical?" She asked.
"Well, my boyfriend the other day, was making fun of me because he said I'm getting fat, that I've been gaining so much weight lately, but I thought why not get a physical and prove him wrong. I need one anyways. It's been a few years since my last."
"Your last recorded physical was two years ago, so it is much needed. So let's weigh you and check your blood pressure and then I'll ask you a few questions and make sure your body is nice and healthy."
"Great." I stood up and stepped on the scale that was in the room.
"It looks like you are about 130."
"What, you must be mistaken. Last time I checked I was about 120. I couldn't have gain ten pounds especially since I haven't changed my diet or exercise any less."
"The scale is definitely not wrong and it doesn't sound healthy if you say you haven't changed your diet."
I sat back down on the table and she took my blood pressure. It came back a little high.
"Okay, I'm going to ask you a few questions now." Dr. Hyland said. "First, when was your last regular period?"
"It was uh, October I think. I uh, recently had a miscarriage and I know after you have one you still have your pregnancy hormones and you may not receive it for a couple of months."
"That's right, between 4-6 weeks. If you haven't received by then, you should come back. How long ago was your miscarriage?"
"Uh, December 18th I think."
"Okay. Are you very active, do you exercise a lot?"
"I occasionally swim or jog when I have a chance to get away from the kids. I'll also go in our home gym and lift some weights and do some other exercises."
"Every day?"
"At least three or four times a week, I try. I gave a question." I paused to gather my thoughts. "This is probably a stupid question but could the pregnancy hormones I still have from the miscarriage make me gain weight or no?"
"Not unless you are carrying a child. Are you sure you had a miscarriage?"
"Yes, I went to the hospital when I had it and they said they couldn't detect a heartbeat. And I haven't had sex since the miscarriage."
"Do you mind if I do an ultrasound just to be sure? Sometimes the machines can be wrong."
I nodded. She took me into another room where there was an ultrasound machine. I laid down on the table.
"How many weeks were you when you miscarried?"
"Uh, about ten."
"Alright, then you would be about thirteen weeks if you are pregnant so we don't have to do a inside ultrasound. Please lift up your shirt."
I did as I was told. The doctor poured some cold gel on my stomach which sent chills throughout my body. She grabbed the ultrasound wand and hovered it on top. I couldn't believe my eyes that I saw on the screen, a baby.
"But I was told I miscarried."
"You possibly had twins and you miscarried one of them."
"I have a question, so I've been drinking some alcohol over the holidays when I thought I wasn't pregnant, but clearly I am now, will it affect the baby?"
"There is a chance it could but hopefully not. A little alcohol won't hurt the baby in early development. It's more in your second and third trimester it can hurt it."
"How many weeks am I?"
"You are about twelve weeks."
"I just can't believe I'm still pregnant. I thought I lost the baby."
"I recommend you take vitamins and start seeing an OBG/YN."
I nodded and kept staring at the screen. How is this even possible?
After my appointment, I picked up Cara from dance and brought her home. I made her a little snack and sat at the kitchen table with her staring at the ultrasound pictures I got.
"Mommy, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing."
Spencer walked in and I put the pictures on my lap so he wouldn't see them. He walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"How was your appointment?"
"Uh, shocking."
"Shocking as you're shock you're getting fat."
"Not exactly… Let's go out back, I want to talk to you about something alone."
Spencer gave me a strange look and followed me out back. I sat down on the grass with Spencer beside me.
"First I should say the scale upstairs is not wrong with me gaining ten pounds."
"Told you."
The two dogs ran over to us and laid down beside us on the grass.
"So my doctor wanted to do an ultrasound and this is what we found." I handed him the photos.
"What, you're still pregnant?"
"Apparently so. My doctor thinks I probably was pregnant with twins and I lost one of them."
"But I thought you miscarried and the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat."
"They, I guess, made a mistake. I guess this baby was just playing hide and seek or playing dead or something."
Spencer smiled and handed me the photos back. "This is amazing. Now I have an excuse to come home and visit you when I'm off." Spencer leaned over and gave me a kiss on the lips. "I love you."
I kept staring down at the pictures. "Spencer… I really wish you didn't have to go now. I need you more than ever now."
"I know, baby, but it's too late to cancel. I'll try to come home when I have a day off, even if it is for one day."
"That makes me feel a little better."
Okay, I read in a review, one of you guys wanted this to happen so it happened.
