Chapter 28 - Rory's POV
It's been six months since Tris and I moved into our new house. We all had our own space. Savannah had her room plus a play space when she wants it. Crystal has definitely enjoyed the new house because she doesn't have to drive from the apartment she was living in to our house. Tris and I have been trying to have a baby and this morning I woke up feeling sick. I called in sick and made a doctor's appointment.
I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a bottle of water when Crystal and Savannah walked into the kitchen.
"Do you need me to take her to school this morning?" Crystal asked me.
"Yes please. I'm not feeling well so I'm not going to work. I do have a doctor's appointment though." I said.
"Sure thing. I can figure out something for dinner too, if that would help."
"Thanks Crystal, for everything that you do around here." I told her.
A little while later, I was sitting in the waiting room of my gynecologist. I was pretty sure that I was pregnant but I didn't want to say anything to Tris until I knew for sure. When the nurse called me back, she checked my vitals and asked me if it was possible that I could be pregnant. I told her that it was possible so she did a pregnancy test on me.
When Dr. Rhodes came in, she told me that I was indeed pregnant. The only thing was, I was further along than I thought I was. Turns out, I was 18 weeks. Somehow I didn't notice that I had completely missed my period. Dr. Rhodes did an ultrasound and asked me if I wanted to know the sex of the baby. I told her I wasn't sure so she wrote it down on a piece of paper and stuck it in an envelope.
When I got home, I noticed that Tris' truck was in the driveway. I was surprised that he was home this earlier. Granted it was Friday, but still he was never home this early. When I walked in the house I found Tris sitting on the couch drinking a beer. "Hey babe." I said when I walked in.
"Hey baby. Everything okay? Crystal said that you went to the doctor?" He said.
I sat down on the coffee table in front of him. I pulled an ultrasound picture out of my purse and handed it to him. He unfolded the picture and looked at it. He smiled and then he looked up at me. "Is this for real?" He asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm further along than I thought I was." I said.
"How far along are you?" He asked.
I smiled. "18 weeks." I said.
"Wow. Did they tell you the sex?" He asked.
I pulled the envelope out of my purse. I held it up. "I didn't want to find out without you." I said.
"Okay so let's open it." He said. I opened the envelope and looked at it. I couldn't believe it. After I looked at it, I handed it to Tris. "Wow."
