REGRETS
This is chapter 22, so…enjoy! Thanks for the great reviews of the previous chapter!
I don't own anything of the tv show Higher ground!
Scott and Shelby's apartment, some days after
"How should we name our little one?" Scott asks wrapping his arms around my tummy as I'm standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom.
"Scott, honey, we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl." I reason him, smiling a bit at him through the mirror. He smiles back at me and kiss my neck.
"Or twins…" He says grinning slyly against my wet skin. "You have to admit you're getting rather massive…"
"Thanks a lot."
"I like you that way."
"I know…but I don't."
"Why not? I can cuddle against you without feeling your bones now."
"Hey, I was already far from anorexic before! Now, I look like nothing. I'm just ugly."
"Don't say things like that Shel…Plus, you'll lose your kilos once the monster's born, don't worry."
"What if I don't?" I say biting my lip slightly. A lot of women never lose their kilos after a delivery.
"You will."
"Scott…"
"And if you don't, I'll still love you, even if you look like a bag." Oh, too romantic!
"Yeah, or you'll find a mistress looking much better and being younger than me!"
"It will never happen; I'd be too afraid of you killing me!"
"Ah, ah!"
"You do know how much I love you, don't you?"
"No…how much?" I tease him seductively…I know exactly what he has in mind only with the look he gives me.
"Come here!" Heorders taking my hand in his, leading me to the bedroom and kissing me as soon as we sit onto the bed. I guess I'll have to take another shower after!
The Hospital, a few Hours Later
Today is the big day! Scott and I have an appointment at the doctor for a five months check-up. I still hesitate in finding out about the sex of the baby and the rest…it'll be so much easier if we knew… We could, decorate the room with the right colors, and choosing the right furniture. Why won't he just go out for two minutes? The time that the doctor tells me…
"Doctor; I know I said I wanted to wait the day of the delivery to know the sex of the baby and everything but I changed my opinion. Could it be possible to know right now?" I ask her as she's checking my weight. She looks at the balance and writes something on a paper.
"Of course it is! It happens often that parents finally decide to know…it makes things slightly better, doesn't it?" She says with a nice smile. I like her, but sometimes she talks too much.
"Yes…in fact my fiancé still doesn't want to know…I'll keep it for myself…could you just send him outside the time…" I say smirking at Scott…at his place I'd feel furious…but strangely he doesn't seem mad at all. Why doesn't he want to know, that's a mystery.
"Of course!" She smiles nicely at him and Scott goes outside winking at me before closing the door.
"Okay, he's gone now…tell me everything!" The doctor smiles at me and nod.
"First of all, they're both fine." BOTH? Did I hear correctly? Daisy and Jess were right! I'm having twins! Wow! What powerful news!
"Both? We're having twins?"
"Yes. But I still don't know the sex, they aren't developed enough to see it."
"When I'll be able to know that?"
"It only depends of their capacity of development inside of your ovule. Normally it will only take a few weeks." OMG! That's terrific news! I'd have liked to have Scott with me at this moment!
"That's great!"
"Now…you should rest a maximum, and not doing too much with your body. You also gained a lot of weight those last weeks. What did you eat? I mean, you took…almostfifteen kilos." What does she think? That I'm doing a diet during my pregnancy? Still…fifteen kilos! I really have to do something…but it's so hard!
"Pretty much everything I could find…I'm like always thinking of eating." That's the truth. Again this morning, I ate a rest of pizza with my apple. That was strange but not bad tasting…
"Okay, just be careful of not doing indigestions or liver crisis."
"Okay, I'll try." I said I'll try, not I will.
"Can I call back your fiancé now?" Soon to be husband and father…and saying that a few months before I was complaining about him and that slut of Tina being together…things changed!
"Yes!" She opens the door only to find herself in front of an urging Scott. I can't believe he tried to listen through the door!
"So…what are we having? Football players?" Scott asked with a smile as he re-entered the room. The doctor smiles back…I think she forced it. She excuses herself and leaves us together the time I dress back.
"Ah, ah, very funny; you'd like that, wouldn't you? I thought you didn't want to know?"
"I don't." He's one sick liar! I know he won't stand firm long now...
"Great. Then, we can go now!"
"You aren't going to tell me, are you?" Oh, no you can count on it!
"Nope."
"Okay. Don't even try hinting me things then…we'll do the room after the birth, just like we planned." He wants to know or not? He's so confusing sometimes!
"We'll see…"
So, how was it? Please Review and tell me your thoughts! In next chapter, someone visits them. Guess who!
