Chapter 7
Bishop and I have been trying to have a baby for six months now and it's just not been happening. Every month that my cycle comes, the more discouraged that I get. The more discouraged I get, the more depressed I get and Bishop notices. "You okay baby?" he asks as he puts his arms around my waist. I lean back into him and say "I'm okay. Just got a lot on my mind." I tell him. "Talk to me babe." He says. "I was thinking about something. I think I might go to the doctor and get checked out. Maybe make sure that it's not something wrong with me that's keeping us from getting pregnant." I tell her. "You think that might ease your mind a little?" he asks. "Yeah. I think it will." he says. "You want me to come with you?" he asks. "Will you?" I ask. He nods and we head out to the main room. He walks up to Hank and says "I'm heading out for a bit with my Old Lady. Don't call if it's not important." he tells Hank. "Everything okay?" Hank asks. "Yeah. Just easing our minds a little." he says and Hank nods. We head out to his bike and head off the lot.
Pulling up to the doctor, we head inside. "We need to see the doctor." I say. "She'll be with you in just a moment." the nurse says. We sign in and take seats in the waiting room and a few minutes later, "Marci Jacobs?" she asks. I stand and so does Bishop and we head into the exam room. "What seems to be the problem today?" she asks. "We've been trying to get pregnant and it's not been happening for us yet and wanted to get checked out to make sure that it's not something that we are doing wrong." I tell her. "Well, first, let's go ahead and run a pregnancy test just to make sure and then we will go from there." she says. She takes some blood and leaves the room. Bishop walks over to the bed where I am and leans against it beside me and I am looking down at my hands. "What if they tell us we can't get pregnant? I mean, I aborted a baby before I met you. What if I can't get pregnant?" I ask as the tears start to fall. Bishop holds me close and says "Don't think like that. We'll have our baby." We hear the door open and the doctor comes back in. "Well, it doesn't look like we need to run anymore tests. We ran the pregnancy test and it shows you are pregnant. Now, let's do an ultrasound and see how far along you are." she tells me and Bishop and I look at each other shocked. "Are you sure?" I ask. "I ran it twice. Just to be sure." she tells me and Bishop kisses me softly and says "Told you." We move into another room where the ultrasound machine is and she puts the gel on my stomach and starts moving the wand around. We hear the heartbeat and I feel a tear fall. I look at Bishop and he's smiling ear to ear. "Let's see how far along you are." she says as she does the measurements and then tells us that I am five weeks pregnant. I clean the gel off my stomach while she hands Bishop the first pictures of our baby.
We walk back into the clubhouse and are still smiling. Walking up to the bar, we see Hank and he asks "How'd it go?" Bishop hands him an ultrasound picture and he pulls me in for a hug and says "Congrats Sweetheart." before pulling Bishop into a hug and congratulating him. The rest of the guys come in and Creeper asks "What's going on?" Bishop looks at the guys and says "We found out we're pregnant." he tells them and they all cheer and congratulate us.
We spend the rest of the evening hanging out and celebrating and before I know it, we're heading to bed. Laying down, I have my back to him and his hand goes straight to my stomach. "I can't believe we're having a baby." I whisper. "I can't wait. I promised you a family. I won't break that promise." he tells me before kissing my neck softly and we both drift off to sleep.
