Charlie finished throwing up and walked over to the sink. She knew Brax was watching her but she didn't know what to say to him. Instead she turned the tap on and splashed some water on her face. She reached over and got a paper towel slowly drying her face.
"So when are you going to tell me you are pregnant?" Brax finally asked. Charlie turned to look at him in surprise when she noticed he was holding the pregnancy test. "The box fell out of your bag and I can't help but look. So when were you planning on telling me I'm going to be a dad?"
Charlie sighed "I was honestly going to tell you, I only did the test this morning and I was just waiting for the right time to tell you. Brax I'm sorry I haven't even had time to take it all in and I didn't know what you would think. I mean we have talked about kids but I didn't think it would happen this soon. We haven't even moved in together yet!" Even though he was upset she didn't tell him as soon as she knew he couldn't help but smile. "Does that smile mean you're happy about it?" Charlie questioned.
Brax leant forward and kissed her tummy. "Yes babe I'm very happy. You know I always wanted to be a dad and it might be a bit sooner then we thought it would be but if everything goes to plan life wouldn't be interesting. How are you feeling?" Charlie let out a huge sigh. 'If I'm honest I'm still in shock….. I mean I'm happy but yea shocked."
"You know its ok to say you are scared Charlie. I know your first pregnancy wasn't easy or a good time in your life but I promise this one will be amazing, I going to make sure of it." Charlie looked down "How is it that you know better then I know myself? Your right I'm scared. Everyone says how amazing pregnancies is and how there is nothing like holding your newborn but I never got that with Ruby. I spent the whole time freaked out what had happen to me and what being a mother was going to mean. When I saw the test was positive I freaked out, what happens if I feel like that again?"
Brax pulled his fiancé over to him, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. "Don't worry it's all going to be different this time because this time you have me." Charlie felt the relief washing over her body.
"Do you really mean that?" she asked wanting to be sure. He reached down and picked up her left hand pointing to her engagement ring. "Yes and every time you need to be reminded of it just look down at your ring ok? We could even get a wedding ring on that finger before bubs comes if you want…."
Charlie smiled she couldn't believe that this amazing guy was hers. "How about we get though this first and then go from there?" He nodded "Sounds like a plan. Now I really want to kiss you but I think you need drink or something first!" Charlie lightly slapped his arm "come on then" she said as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Now I don't want you to get upset if we don't hear a heart beat. We have no idea how far along you are so it might be to early for a heart beat" the doctor said. It was the next day and they were at the hospital ready for a date scan.
Brax looked at Charlie and smiled. "Don't worry honey I will be here holding your hand the whole time" Charlie smiled back squeezing his hand. They both watched the screen as the doctor started the scan.
"There we go" the doctor pointed to a shape on the scan "there is your baby, there is the head and there are the feet. Looking at it I would say you are about 14weeks along" Charlie gasped "14 weeks! Does everything look ok? I mean I had no idea I was pregnant so I was still drinking and eating things I shouldn't." The doctor smiled trying to reassure her "yes everything looks ok. We will do some tests but I don't think you have anything to worry about. Now lets listen to its heart beat." She flicked a button the ultrasound machine.
They both gasped as the sound of their babies heartbeat echoed through the room. The doctor smiled at the pair "heart beat is a perfect." She took on last shoot of the baby leaving it on the screen.
Brax couldn't take his eyes off it. "So doc is it a boy or a girl?" The doctor laughed a little "looks like the little one already has Daddy wrapped round their little finger. Normally we don't like to say this early on but I'm 95% sure you're having a little boy. Now I'm going to get the print outs for todays scan but I will leave baby on the scan until I get back"
Brax finally took his eyes off the screen to look at Charlie. "Can you believe it? That's our baby, how cool is that we made a little person!" Charlie laughed. "It's very cool. Little baby Braxton" she smiled looking at the screen.
"Braxton?" Brax asked in shock. "Yes Braxton. I'm not sure why you are so surprised, you know I'm going to take your name when we get married so baby might as well have it from the start" Charlie said in a very matter of fact way.
Brax grinned at her "Ok Sergeant Buckton. I thought maybe you had rethought taking Braxton as your last name." Charlie shook her head "nothing is going to change my mind on that babe but I still have to talk to Ruby about." Brax laughed "the way her and Casey are going you never know she might end up as a Braxton as well!" Charlie started to giggle as well "oh my gosh I never thought about it! That would be interesting…"
