Up a little sooner but enjoy =)
Continued….
I sat there just so confused to what was going on, I mean didn't I just take a test? Why would she need me to do this to?
"What's going on?" Nick asked closing the door behind him, the Dr looked at me for me to explain to him.
"I don't know I went in to get an x-ray and she asked me when my last period was and I told her. She told me I was cutting it close and that I needed to take a test so that we were positive. I took the test and now I'm here"
"I figured you would want your husband in here" She said after she was finished fooling with the machine and came over to us
"For what?" I asked as she motioned for Nick to help me out of the wheelchair and I leaned on Nick and I limped over to the bed
"Well your test results came back" She said as Nick leaned back on the bed and I paid attention to everything Dr. Jill was saying
"What did they say?" Nick asked obviously interested
I almost felt stupid for not realizing it right away. Dr. Jill got out the paper that had the results on them and handed them to Nick. He looked over to me before turning towards the paper. I sat up in the bed when I realized that Nick had been staring at the paper for a long time.
"I'll let you two have a few moments" Dr. Jill smiled and walked out the door, and I moved so I was looking over Nick's shoulders. In bold writing underneath the other stuff was the print
POSITIVE
It was almost like it was popping off the paper and flashing right in front of our eyes. For me this was excellent news, but with Nick's take of having kids I wasn't sure on how he felt right now.
I took the paper from Nick because he's been staring at the paper for a while and I reply to him "It's not going to change no matter how many times you blink"
I put the paper on the little table in the room and lay down back on the bed. Nick was staring at the wall and he was really starting to make me nervous, and upset.
"You don't want the baby do you" I whisper because honestly it worries me that he truly wouldn't want this.
Nick looks over at me, and there's no emotion on his face and he shakes his head. My heart breaks in two and I look straight ahead of me.
"Why would you think that I wouldn't want this baby?" He finally said and I can hear his voice filled with concern
My head snaps over at him and I nod
"You said that you didn't want kids right now and here we are in a hospital with a positive test" I said pointing to the paper next to me
Nick shook his head
"I'm not upset that's crazy, sure I wish this moment would have been a year down the road. But Miley would never be upset to find out that you're pregnant with our baby"
"Really?" I asked
"Really" He smiled leaning down to kiss my gently and I wrapped my arms around his neck and I smiled brightly
"So your not upset about becoming a daddy?" I asked and I swore I saw a twinkle run through his eye and Nick smiled wider than before.
"I couldn't be happier" Nick said leaning down to kiss me again
I kissed back but before anything could go any farther I heard a knock on the door and I let my hands go from around his neck. Nick straightened up and Dr. Jill came through the door and a women behind her. The women came up to us and held out her hand.
"Hello there my name is Katie and I will be helping Dr. Jill with the ultrasound" She said shaking my hand
"Hi I'm Miley" I said as she let go and moving onto Nick
"I'm Nick" Nick said
"Okay so let's get this all set" Katie said going over to the machine but she turned around "Looks like Dr. Jill already did that for us so lets go ahead and get you ready"
Nick stepped back and Katie instructed me to roll my shirt up. I did so and she walked away and Nick came back to my side. After wanting a baby after all these years, sitting here as the women puts the gel on my it still hadn't sunk it yet. My head turns towards the screen and I hold up my hand which Nick takes.
"Now there's the fetus, not much to look for at this point but there is something there"
I smiled at the little image on the screen and looked over at Nick. His eyes were glued to the screen, and finally he looked at me.
"Wow" He all he could get out, and I couldn't help but feel the same way
"Now you are going to need to make an appointment with a OB/GYN of your choice as soon as possible, to go over everything" Katie said
My attention turned to her and I nodded in understanding.
She sat down I heard a beeping noise, I looked over and saw that she was printing the picture on the screen. When that was finished printing she handed it over and I took it from her.
"I can safely estimate that you are six weeks, congratulations" She said shaking out hand and smiled at us "Best of luck to the both of you"
"Thank you" We said as she went out the door, leaving us with Dr. Jill
"Well we can't do the x-ray so we will just say your toes are broken and tell you to keep off that foot. It won't be able to heal with you walking on it. So to be able to commute around easier, would you like some crutches?"
I nodded and promised her to stay off that foot
She wrote something on her clipboard and looked at us. "I will be back in a few minutes with a prescription and some crutches for you" Dr. Jill went out into the hospital halls, leaving us in here. I sat back and pulled my shirt down, and I felt Nick take the picture out of my hand. I smiled as he stared at it.
"Are you sure you want this?" I asked and Nick sat down next to and propped his feet up on the bed so he was sitting next to me and I could look at the picture too.
"Well there's no choice" He said, and when he did my heart dropped. I looked down at what was in his hands, before answering.
"I can a name a few"
"Don't be silly" Nick said sternly "That's not even in the solution"
Nick's hand was soft as he lifted my face to look at him.
"Just let go of everything I said, and don't believe that I didn't want this baby for a second. Honestly, the thought of having a baby a week ago was crazy. But now" Nick said holding a hand on my stomach "We've got a little one in there and I don't want to give that up."
"So you want to keep the baby?" I asked him, and he nodded
"I want to keep our baby, it's not even something to question"
------------------------
I had gotten home early from work today, there was a meeting and I wasn't involved in those things. So I sat at home bored with nothing to do. I really wanted to go help Denise prepare for dinner tonight, but I didn't feel like getting ready. Plus I wanted to wait for nick to get home.
Clingy, would be the word to describe how I've been since we've found out I was pregnant. I've taken every chance I've gotten to snuggle, hug, kiss and just be near Nick. I hate being one of those girls but it's so weird. Which is why I don't want to leave without him.
Tonight we were going over Denise and Paul's for dinner and my dad with Heather will be there too. It was something we did once a month, to be all together at least once a month. And usually I went over there to help prepare but today I didn't want to. Heather didn't work so I'm sure she was over there helping her. Plus I wasn't even ready. The only thing that was done was my hair.
Elvis barked and I heard the door click open and than shut. Nick dropped his keys on the table and grabbed the mail. He set the pile down and looked up, and my eyes met with his
"Hey I thought I was meeting you at my moms?"
I walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck. It was like I had no control, I just wanted to be close to him.
"I wanted to ride over with you" I said leaning on my good foot and depending my weight on Nick's shoulder.
"Yeah I figured that when my mom called wondering where you were"
"Oh" I said and than let go of his shoulder and put a hand on the counter.
"I told her than you were probably stuck at work until regular time today"
"thanks handsome" I said playfully ruffling his hair before taking my crutches and maneuvering the way into our bedroom. I could hear Nick come behind and I sat on the bed next to the clothes I laid out. Something simple, a pair of jeans and a black top.
"My mom is going to do dinner a little earlier tonight" Nick said going into the closet
"Are we still going to tell them tonight?" I asked
"Yeah if you still want to" Nick said coming out pulling on a new shirt
"Yep that's good" I nodded
"Do you need help getting your foot in your pant leg?" Nick asked pointing to my jeans. I bite my lip and nod. I was kind of hoping that he would get that.
"Yah please" I said standing up and taking off my pajama shorts and leaned on my right foot and held onto Nick's shoulder as I carefully put my foot in. I sat down and I took over, putting my other leg in. I pulled my pants up and buttoned them.
"I'm going to take Elvis outside before we leave" Nick leaned down and kissed me softly before heading out the door.
I put on my shirt and stood up, grabbed my crutches before walking into the kitchen. I went to the fridge and looked at the ultrasound picture. We had decided to hang it there so we could look at it all the time. I grabbed it and put it into my purse.
Nick came in and let Elvis off his leash.
"You ready to head out?" I asked grabbing his keys
"Yeah" He nodded and walked a little and looked over at the fridge.
"I got the picture already" I said patting my purse and grabbing my crutches. Nick took my purse from me and the keys before opening the door for me to hop out. We went to the car I made it in.
I really hated not being able to walk or do anything on my own. But my toes needed to heal. And that will only go by fast enough if I stay off them at all costs.
"Oh!" Nick said as we got onto the main road "Your dad gave me off for this Monday"
"I'll have to thank him" I said giving myself a mental note. Nick and I had made an appointment with a well reviewed OB/GYN. And I wanted him to be there for the first time and he wanted to be there.
"I kind of told Joe and Oliver about the baby" Nick blurted out and my heard napped towards him "Don't give me that look. They were talking about their kids and I felt let out so I told them you were pregnant"
"Nick" I whined putting my head against the back of the seat "Taylor and Lilly are going to find out now"
"I know I'm sorry" Nick said grabbing my hand
"I guess I'll just go out with them still and hope that they don't kill me"
"I think you'll survive" He smiled and kissed my hand
"Hmm that's what you say. Taylor and Lilly will be so upset that I didn't tell them"
"Maybe they didn't tell the girls" Nick tried and I have them a pointed look
"Yeah right" I laughed a little before leaning my head back on the street again and closing my eyes
"Your not mad are you?" Nick asked
"No just tired" I said yawning and smiled over at him "And a little scared for my life"
Nick laughed and I opened an eye to laugh with him. But it soon quieted down and I sat there relaxing as I felt myself sooth into a light sleep. You know, where you can still hear what's going on around you but it feels like your still sleeping. I felt the car slow down and I knew we were almost at his parents house. The car came to a stop and the car was turned off.
"Are you awake Miles?" He asked and I opened my eyes before taking my hands out his grip. I took off my seatbelt and opened the door so I could get out. Nick met me halfway and I grabbed his hand. Nick and I walked up to the door and walked in. We walked through and Nick wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked into the kitchen. It was hard to walk with crutches and a hand on my waist, but I didn't mind because at least he was standing near me. Heather was standing by the counter chopping some celery and Denise was standing my the stove turning one of the knobs as Danielle was sitting on a bar stool looking bored.
"Hey mom" Nick said and the three of them looked at us.
"Hey" Denise said coming over to give us a hug and Heather looks back and waved. Danielle looked relieved as she perked up.
"Sucks you had to work all day today" Heather said before resuming position to putting the celery in the salad.
Nick helped me limp to the chair at the island in the middle of the kitchen. He sat down between Danielle and I.
"Do you need help with anything?"
"Nope, dinners almost finished. All we have to do is mix that salad and wait for your dad and Paul" Denise said coming over and grabbing a handful of chips and placing them in her hand.
"Robbie Ray said he'd be here around six, he had to stay a few minutes so he could finish with one of the new clients" Nick said taking some chops and shoving them into his mouth.
"That's what time your dad said he'd be here" Denise replied back to him
"They won't be too long" I said leaning back a little and looking at the clock on the microwave
"Nick and Danielle, why don't you set the table so when they get here we can sit and eat"
Nick and Danielle got up from their seats and got the plates from the cabinet. I felt bad for not being able to help., but there was no way to carry plates with crutches. Denise and Heather sat in their spots and sighed.
"So what's' up with you? How's your toes feeling?" Heather asked
"It's not hurting as bad as it was a few days ago, but I know there still broke" I said also taking some chips.
"So how is Lilly and Oliver doing?" Denise asked referring to Lilly and Oliver dealing with their baby
"They are doing good, Gina is doing good. I talked to Lilly on the phone like two days ago and they were all doing good"
"How about Taylor?" Heather asked, I had talked to Heather and Denise the other day and told them the good news about Taylor. Growing up Taylor and Denise had also become close because Nick and I were so close and Taylor hung around with us along with Joe, Oliver and Lilly. Good news and bad news was always spread around quickly
"She's doing good, they are excited about the news" I smiled taking some more chips.
"That's good" Denise nodded "So Danielle has been so bored, I bet she is glad to have some other people to talk to. I think she's getting pretty tired of us gossiping"
Heather laughed along and I smiled
"Well maybe one time next week we can take her out somewhere and show her a good time. Maybe we can take her mini golfing, if she's anything like her brother I know she'll enjoy that" I laughed
"I think she would enjoy that a lot" Denise nodded
"Well we can call you sometime this week and let you know what day"
"Call about what?" Nick asked coming up behind me and placing two hands on my shoulder massaging them and I leaned into him.
"I told you mom that we would take Danielle out one day next week because she's been bored out of her mind" I said looking up at him before turning my attention towards the women standing in front of me. "I was thinking mini golf or something like that"
"Sounds good to me" Nick said just letting his arms hand off my shoulders and continuing to stand there.
"Really?" Danielle said coming in the room and I looked over and smiled at her while nodding
"Yeah does that sound okay?" I asked
"Yes! That sounds so much fun" Danielle said standing by us
"Good" I laughed and I heard the front door open and two pair of foot steps come in. I heard my dad in a conversation with Paul as they walked through the door.
"Look who I ran into out front" Paul laughed pointing his thumb to my father. My dad waved and Nick took one hand off my shoulder and joined my father in one armed hug along with his father.
"Hey daddy" I said giving him a hug and Paul came over and gave me a hug also "Hey Paul"
"Good to see you" Paul smiled and let go of me before going to greet his wife.
Denise gave her husband a smile and kissed his cheek before her and Heather went to go set the food on the table. Nick let go of me and grabbed my crutches, as if I wasn't able to do it myself.
"I've got it" I said snatching them away from him. Nick looked at me and I could tell her didn't know what to say. So instead I take the crutches from him and go to stand up "I don't need you babying me Nick, I've me maneuvering around in these just fine the past week without your help"
"Sorry next time I won't try to help you" He said glaring a little before going off into the next room. I hated being on these crutches I felt like I couldn't do anything because I had them. This was just horrible, and I couldn't wait to get my stupid foot healed back to normal. I hopped off the stool and landed on my right foot and "walked" into the other room. I sat down in the only available seat, which was next to Nick. I leaned my crutches on the wall deciding that I couldn't put them at the dinner table with us. But when I looked and saw how far I was going to hop on one foot, I figured it wasn't going to work.
Nick didn't bother to look back but I saw his shoulders shake a little, that little jerk. I glared at him and started to hop but that didn't get me anywhere anytime fast. The chatter stopped when I heard Denise speak out.
"Nicholas you better help your wife" Denise scolded and Nick turned back with that stupid smirk on his face.
"But mom, she doesn't need help. She clearly told me that herself" I glared at his sarcastic comment and started to hop again but because I was so angry, my hop made me loose my balance but I caught myself on the back of the empty chair. Nick still didn't get up, but instead he sat there. I looked at him and glared.
"I need your help" I mumbled angrily, but Nick still didn't budge. So I glared at him again and he raised his eyebrow. So I gave him the biggest, brightest, fakest smile I could conjure up and through my teeth I said "Nicky can you please help me walk to the table"
"Sure" Nick smiled and got up from his chair and wrapped a hand around my waist and I put a hand around his neck, and we helped me walk to the table. I felt his hand rub my stomach but I shoved his hand off of me and I sat down in the chair. There was no way he was going to touch me, even if he was really touching our unborn child. No, he was being a jerk. Nick sat down next to me and I stared straight ahead.
"Heather would you like to say grace for us tonight?" Denise offered and she nodded, I grabbed Denise's hand and I glared at Nicks but I knew I needed to take it because it was grace. I grabbed his hand but I just held it as if I was clapping. I didn't really pay attention to grace until I heard everyone saying 'grace' and I followed along with them. I let go of Nick's hand and than Denise's.
I put some macaroni salad on my plate and than some mashed potatoes. I looked at the piece of chicken that I wanted and decided to have a chicken leg. I had soon realized after I did all that, they I hadn't gotten anything to drink.
"Excuse me, I forgot something to drink" I said getting up from the table to go into the kitchen. But than I remembered that I needed my crutches. So I got up from the table and leaned on my right foot and tried to reach out for my crutches. But that wasn't working at all, I was about to ask Denise for help but I felt Nick get up. I watched him as he grabbed my crutches and handed them to me.
"I'm still mad at you" I glared at him before snatching them from him and going into the kitchen. I went up to the counter and poured some soda into one of the cups, and all of a sudden I felt two arms wrap around my waist and Nick's breathe on my neck. "Get away from me"
"Come on Miley, you're the one who started the whole 'I don't need your help'" Nick said
"Yeah but you saw me struggling, and your mom said something and you still didn't get up" I said harshly
"Yes I did, I just wanted to make sure you wouldn't glare at me and tell me off in front of our family"
"I'm sorry" I said turning on my right foot and facing him "I just hate not being able to do anything on my own, and I just want my toes to heal"
"I know you do" Nick smiled "But I think your going to have to deal with me 'babying' you until your toes do heal"
"I know" I nodded, bringing my arms around his neck "And I'm sorry for hitting your arm away"
Nick nodded and kissed my cheek before looking at me. "Let's go back in there"
"Do you want to tell them during dinner or after dinner?" I asked taking my hands from around his neck and grabbing my crutches.
"That's completely up to you" Nick said
"No it's not because it's both of our decision" I smiled at him as I leaned on one foot.
"Just give me a sign of when you feel like your going to blurt it out so I have a warning" He teased and I gave him a play glare
"Whatever you are the one who blurted it out to Oliver and Joe" I stuck my tongue out at him but Nick shook his head
"Just tell me" He said as he began to walk back into the room and helped me to my seat this time. I looked around and saw that everyone was eating and carrying on a conversation. I felt my leg start to shake and I took a drink of my soda, to take my mind off of the situation. Curse Nick for being right, he was using the reverse psychology thing on my mind. Now I felt like I hate to tell them right away. But I wasn't, I hate to stay strong. I had to not mention anything about the new baby. I had to keep my big mouth shut because sometimes I felt like I never knew how too. Like I would say things at the wrong time and it would just ruin the whole thing. There was no way I was going to ruin the surprise I had to wait to tell everyone that I was pregnant.
I nodded and went to go pick up my fork, proud of myself because I wasn't letting the secret out yet. I took a bite of the salad and looked up to involve myself in the conversation, but I saw everyone looking at me. This was really awkward, why were they staring at me? I finished chewing and looked around and saw there faces.
"What's the matter?" I asked going to take another bite, and Nick leaned over and said
"You were supposed to give me a little warning" He said with that smirk on his face and I turned towards the rest of the family and Denise was staring at me and than I heard a squeak and she got up from her seat, and tackled me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her and laughed at myself. I must have talked aloud, something I that I learned I do a lot.
"You kind of do" Nick laughed and I looked at his confused, but I suddenly felt myself gasping for air. "Mom you're going to suffocate her"
"I'm sorry" Denise panicked and than let go of me and placed her hands on my shoulder, looking down at me. She had a huge smile on her face and she looked me straight in the eyes. "Are you really going to make me a grandmother?"
I looked over quickly and grabbed Nick's hand and smiled at the family. "I guess I am kind of a blabber mouth"
"Hot dog!" My dad said getting up from his seat and coming over, Nick let go of my hand as he stood up to give my dad a hug. And I was pulled in Denise's arms once again.
"Thank you Miley" She said happily, wow she sure was excited. But I was glad because I wasn't sure how she would feel being a grandmother so young. I wasn't sure if it would make her feel like she was getting older. I felt Denise pull away and she started to laugh "I never thought about getting older until now, thanks"
"It's like you guys are mind readers, but I need to start working on saying things in my head" I laughed and Paul came over giving me a hug
"Congratulations" He said and than my dad came over to give me a hug
"Very good news sweetie" He said kissing my cheek and giving me another hug, this time holding me.
"Thanks dad" I said patting his back.
I'm glad they are taking this news well.
"Me too" Nick said
"Oh my, gosh" I scolded myself; half laughing it was pretty funny. But I'm just glad they were all happy for us. My dad let go and Heather came over and sent us her congratulations.
