The ride to the doctor's office is awkward, almost painfully so. Luckily, we arrived at the doctor's office twenty five minutes later.
Another fifteen minutes pass while I check in and fill out the annoying paperwork that's given. After I turn said paperwork in at the front desk, I return to my seat, plopping down tiredly.
"What exactly has been going on with you?" Dax asks as I lean my head onto the wall, closing my eyes.
I open one of my eyes to look at him, before I let out a tired sigh again. "I think I'm pregnant." I muttered, lowly.
"Pregnant?! Woah, seriously? Since when? I thought you were still a virgin?" He breathes, surprised.
"Yeah, that status changed about three months ago. The night our day had the surgery." I deadpanned.
"You mean after we left, right?" He asked taking his eyes off the book he's reading to look at me, his eyes still wide, before his surprised expression was replaced with a horrified one.
"No, we did it right in front of you on the fucking breakfast nook...of course, it happened after you two left! We were that drunk, moron." I snapped lowly, as I clicked the pen I had left on the tray.
I watched as he sighed in relief. I should have came on my own, or brought Rose with me instead. She's in the same boat as me at the least. She'd understand.
"Jane wants a baby." He sputtered, soon after.
"So, get her pregnant. " I reply, looking at his nervous expression.
He probably told her he didn't want one right now.
"I—That's just it. We've been trying for the past year. Nothing has happened, " he said.
"Did you and her stop using all contraceptives? The pill, the shot, condoms?" I asked.
"She got off the shot last May." He states.
"Maybe you should stop trying." I suggest, though I can see he is starting to get upset.
"What? Why?"
"Ok, Dax, this may come as a surprise to you, but the more you try, the more stressed out you'll get when you two don't conceive. If you stop trying, and let it happen...It will eventually happen... on its own." I explain, as a nurse called my name.
"Good luck, Bellsy." He calls as I follow the nurse towards the back.
The nurse leads me to the exam room. Taking my blood pressure, weight, height and asking a series of questions before leading me to another room. It is there where I'm told I need to produce a urine sample, before they tell me I need to get some blood drawn.
The nurse then takes me to different room where she proceeds to tell me the doctor wishes to perform a pelvic exam.
The nurse quickly tells me to undress from the waist down, after producing a paper sheet.
Wonderful.
When the doctor comes she quickly explains the procedure before walking out again.
Leaving me to undress in awkward silence.
"The test results should be in sometime today or tomorrow. We'll call you when they come in." The nurse at the front desk says.
"Thank you." I say before walking out.
Dax quickly notices I'm hightailing it out the door and quickly follows me out.
We had only just reached the car when a nurse came rushing out. "Miss. Swan?" She called, causing me to turn.
"Yes?" I replied, walking back towards her.
"Your results are in—the doctor, would like to speak to you." The nurse stuttered.
I looked over to Dax, who shrugged in return. He was about to go sit in the mint green vinyl seats when the nurse spoke again. "Your husband can go in with you. The office is down the hall." She added.
"He's my brother." I say, looking back at Dax, silently asking him if he wanted to come.
The shrug he responds with almost makes me laugh, before following me down the hall towards the doctor's office.
The doctor is already waiting for me when we walk into the office.
"Miss. Swan, I'm glad Rita was able to catch up to you before you left. Results aren't usually this quick...but we had little work today. Anyway, the high levels of hCG within your bloodstream, and pregnancy test we took earlier we were able to see that you are in fact pregnant. Congratulations. Now, do you wish to be seen here or would you like a reference to an obgyn?" She asks.
My mind is still trying to wrap its head around the news. Even though I had suspected, it's another thing to have it confirms in papers.
"Can- can I have a reference? Can I also have a copy of the results please?" I asked.
"Sure, I'll get right on that. Would you like to wait here for the copies?" She asked.
While I could feel my head nod I response, everything else seemed to be paralyzed. I was pregnant. What was I going to do?
"Bells? Hey, everything is going to be oh-kay." My brother says, slowly.
I only manage to look up at him before I burst into tears. I feel overwhelmed, shocked— even though I knew it to be a possibility, and scared, because now I had to face Edward, and my crazy ass family this weekend.
Dax quickly pulls me into a hug, letting me cry it out.
"Miss. Swan? Your papers are ready." The doctor says.
I quickly step back from my brother's embrace, wiping my face before walking out of the small office.
Now to put on my big girl panties. How hard can that really be?
