Chapter Three
" Corey, I think I need to go see a doctor." Topanga told Corey one summer morning.
"Why do you think that sweetie? You seem perfectly healthy. You'll just be paying hundreds of dollars to go see a person who will tell you the exact same thing I'm telling you now."
"Corey I don't know if you've noticed, but I have been showing side affects of illness. I'm always tired. I'm not eating right. I'm always throwing up. And ya want to know something else. I feel weak. And I'm gaining some weight. So I don't give a crap what you say but I am going to see the doctor weather you like it or not. Ever since you got that job in May, you have been completely ignoring me. Even though it's now July and schools out you still don't notice me. Goodbye!"
With that said Topanga stormed out of the building. Hopped into her Subaru and drove to her doctor's office.
"Hello Cynthia. Is it possible for me to meat with Dr.Collins today? It's sort of an emergency." Topanga asked Cynthia, the receptionist, at Dr.Collins's office.
"Oh honey it is no problem. You just have to wait a minute. " Cynthia said.
"Great thanks."
Just as Topanga was about to sit down, Dr.Collins cam out of the office and was ready for her.
"Hello Topanga. Why don't we got to my office." Dr.Collins told Topanga with a warm smile and kind tone.
"So Topanga," Dr.Collins said as she shut the door, " what's the trouble?"
"I don't know doctor. See I haven't been myself lately. I've been extremely tired. I've been throwing up just about everything I eat. And I haven't had my period since May, which was when I first started showing theses affects."
"Well Topanga sweetie, form what you have described, these all look like signs of pregnancy."
Topanga paused for a moment.
"Me pregnant. It can't be," she thought to herself.
"Are you sure doctor?"
"Well we can't be positive until you actually take the pregnancy test. Would you like to take it now?"
"Of course."
So of they went into a tiny room and took the pregnancy test.
"Topanga, I won't have the results for a day or two. I'll call you when I get them."
"Ok and thank you Dr.Collins."
On the way home Topanga was thinking of ways to tell Corey what the doctor said. Also ways to apologize for what she had done. Maybe a nice dinner would cheer him up. Then she would tell him the news.
"Corey honey I'm…." Topanga said as she walked into the loft. But she paused. On their dinning room table was a dinner for two with candles and all.
"Sweetie, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting lately. You are right I haven't been noticing or showing you any affection. So tonight is your special night. I made you your favorite dinner and rented your favorite movies. Tonight it's just you and me."
Topanga ran over to Corey, wrapped her arms around him and started to cry.
"Why are you crying?"
"Oh it's just that this is all so sweet. And I shouldn't have said all the things I said. It was wrong. I love you. " Topanga told her husband threw all the tears.
So Topanga and Corey sat down to a nice dinner. About half way through the meal Corey asked Topanga how her trip to the doctors was.
"Oh, umm. . . . . it was ok. Um Corey I need to be honest. The doctor said I might be pregnant."
Corey dropped is fork onto his plate. Then came the moment of silence.
"Pregnant. You."
"Yes Corey. I might be pregnant. The doctor isn't sure yet."
"When will you know?"
"In a day or two."
"I see. Let's go watch a move. "
"That's it, your just gonna let this fly by."
" What do you want from me Topanga? Ya want me throw a parade or something. Well you aren't getting it."
"Why are you acting this way? First of all I don't know if I am pregnant. Secondly, if I am pregnant the baby is definitely yours. Third, it's not like this wasn't gonna happen. So why are you like this?"
"Because I'm scared ok!" Corey shouted at her.
"What?"
"You heard me I'm scared. I'm scared that I'm not going to be a good father. "
At that moment Corey sat down on the couch and started to cry. Topanga had never seen him cry before. She sat down on the couch, hugged him, and started to cry to.
"Corey, don't worry. I know that you will be a terrific father. I mean just look at your father. Sweetie if there is a baby, then he or she will be the luckiest baby ever. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Let's watch the movie now."
"Ok."
So they sat down to night of enjoyable movies.
Over the next few days, Corey and Topanga went about their normal business.
Then one Saturday morning Topanga woke up with the sun.
"Ahh, Saturday. My day off. Maybe I'm make breakfast now," she said to her self.
So she walked into the bathroom. Took a shower. Then when she was dressed and ready she went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
"Ring, ring, ring"
The hone was ringing like crazy.
"Who would be calling at this god for saken hour. It's only 7:00," she thought to herself.
"Hello may I ask who's calling?" she said to the unknown caller
"Hello Topanga. This is Dr. Collins. I will be getting your test in today at 1:00. If you would like to stop by to get them then you can."
"Oh that would be great. I'll see you at 1. Thank you."
"Your welcome. Good-bye.
"Good-bye."
With that she hung up the phone and continued to make breakfast.
"Remind me again why I am going with you to Dr.Collins' again." Corey asked Topanga as the drove to the doctor's office.
"Because I want us to receive the news together."
"Oh."
"Well here we are."
They found a parking spot. Got out of the car. And walked into the office.
"Corey. Topanga. How are you guys? Well come back here with me to receive you news." Dr.Collins said to them with a happy tone.
They walked into her little office in the back.
"Well how are you two doing?"
"We're fine thank you, but we'd really like to know the results." Topanga said to her in a anticipating tone.
"Very well. Congratulations. You two are going to be parents."
For a moment no one said a word. Then Corey spoke.
"I'm gonna be a dad."
"And I'm going to be a mom."
"This is the greatest news ever."
For a long time there was crying, hugging, and lots of talking. But most of all there was excitement. Topanga and Corey were going to be parents. And that made them realize that their life was going to be worth something. And they would mean something to someone.
"We have to go home and call your parents." Topanga said to Corey.
"Let's go. Thank you Dr.Collins."
"Anytime. Topanga you should start seeing me once a month now ok. And good luck. "
"Thank you and I will."
And then they left the office.
" Corey, I think I need to go see a doctor." Topanga told Corey one summer morning.
"Why do you think that sweetie? You seem perfectly healthy. You'll just be paying hundreds of dollars to go see a person who will tell you the exact same thing I'm telling you now."
