CH. 37

John was still sitting there and his jaw was dropped and he hadn't moved from where he was sitting and he had not said one word since she had informed him that he was going to be a daddy. Finally he closed his mouth and got up from the chair and walked over and sat down next to her on the bed. He forced her to look at him since she had been staring at the bed, pretty sure he didn't want the baby and that he was going to be asking her for a divorce now.

"Hey there, look at me baby." John said with a huge smile on his face.

"You don't want the baby, I get it." Kaylyn said as she licked her lips and felt the tears welling in her eyes and then spilling out and falling down her face, she hated to cry at all, but crying in front of John was the worst thing in the world to her.

"Did I say that?" John asked her, arching an eyebrow as he stared into her eyes.

"You didn't have to. Most people who jump up and down for joy, smile and get excited, asking when the baby was going to born and start talking about baby names and whether it was going to be a boy or a girl and the way they wanted to decorate the nursery, you have done none of that." Kaylyn said as she trying so hard not to start sobbing, her heart felt broken and she was wondering if she was going to be a single mother and if she was going to be divorced and not even have a marriage that lasted a year.

"Listen to me baby, I am so happy to hear we are going to be parents. I was shocked because I wasn't expecting that at all, but there is nothing in the world that would make me happier than the news that you just gave to me." John told her as he kissed her slowly and sweetly on the lips. "We are having a baby together, we are going to be a mom and dad, we are having a child." John said getting really excited as he thought about it. "As for the whole boy or girl thing, I don't think it matter which one we are having because we are having more kids after this and so whatever we have now we can always have the other one at some point later on. I would love to have a little girl though, one who looked just like her mama." John said as his hand massaged her flat stomach. "Is the baby all right? I mean you were injured and I want to make sure you are all right as well as the baby inside of you." John said hoping that she would understand he wanted them both to be all right and not just their child inside of her.

"The baby is fine." Kaylyn said as she finally started to calm down.

"Hey, this is good news right?" John asked her, hoping that she wasn't upset that she was pregnant with their baby right now.

"At first I wasn't sure how I felt, I thought that it had to be bad news because we hadn't yet gotten even with Lita and Edge and I want to get even with them so badly baby, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I am carrying our child inside of my stomach, all I want to do is smile and kiss you and talk about baby names and plan out the nursery. I know the rule is that you have to wait until the second trimester before telling people, it is going to kill me to keep this secret from everyone. Stephanie knows, obviously, so you know that Paul will know but we will need to make sure that they tell no one else, especially since this is our news to tell." Kaylyn said as she bit her bottom lip nervously.

"I can't wait until we start decorating a nursery, and I can't wait to go shopping and pick things out to spoil this child. I also want to make sure I can be there when someone, most likely Stephanie, throws you a baby shower. I want to be a part of everything that I can be. I have some vacation time built up, so I think I should have that until your later months so I can take the time off starting in your ninth month and just be off until the baby is about two to three months old." John said as he thought about it. "But I know that they will give me the time off for doctor's appointments, to go nursery shopping, the baby shower, the decorating of the nursery and anything else I want or need to be a part of for this pregnancy." John said as he smiled at her.

"I can't wait until we can tell what we are having." Kaylyn said rubbing her still flat stomach, she was getting more and more excited.

A few days later, Kaylyn was finally released from the hospital and she was so happy to be getting out of there. John was given time off to take care of her, not coming out of his vacation time since he had told Vince about the baby. He was shocked to see how excited Vince and Linda had gotten at the news but they agreed they would wait till she was in her second trimester before letting the news be posted or reported anywhere. Vince had said there was no need for vacation time, whatever Kaylyn needed John for, she would have him for. Vince and Linda were both happy at the thought of a baby coming into the picture, something that shocked both Kaylyn and John but they were not going to push their luck.

As she rested in their bed she looked up when he came into the room carrying a bag from a book store. He was beaming as he sat down next to her and pulled out loads of books on pregnancy and babies, stuff for soon to be mother and soon to be fathers. She was even shocked to see a baby name book and then she saw a second one.

"I figured that we could both look through our own books and make lists together. We could make lists of both girls names and boys names. We could keep adding and subtracting names until we decide on the name we like best." John said as he leaned over and kissed her sweetly on the lips.

"Hmm.. you are really excited about this aren't you?" Kaylyn asked him smiling, she was so happy that this was happening now, she had gotten used to the idea of a baby and they had finally gotten to see an ultrasound, it had been an internal ultrasound since it was to early for a regular one, but seeing that blob and knowing it was their baby, was so special to the two of them. "I think that's a great idea." She said with a smile as she grabbed a pad of paper and drew a line down the center of it. She labeled one side boy and the other side girl, and she opened her book while John opened his, she couldn't believe she was sitting here, with a wedding band on her finger and a baby in her belly with a man she loved and looking through a baby name book to start looking through names. However she couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen, and it wasn't going to be good.
