Ch 20
It's Monday and we dropped Alex off at school and went to the doctor's office. One thing good about being a Hayden and a soon to be Huntzberger is the ability to pull some strings. I called on Friday morning and had them squeeze me in. I'm wiggling my leg up and down because I'm nervous. I have been all morning.
"Ace, you need to relax" Logan says placing a hand on my knee top stop me.
"Lorelai Hayden" the nurse calls and I jump out of the seat, Logan just smirks at me.
"Be quiet" I scold him playfully.
"Didn't say a thing Ace" he says taking my hand before we follow the nurse. We enter the exam room and I look at Logan. I hate needles.
"We need some blood first and then a urine sample before the doctor sees you" the nurse says. She hands me a cup and I look at Logan.
"I'll be here" he says kissing my forehead before I head to the bathroom. Ten minutes later, I walk into the exam room seeing Logan talking to the doctor.
"Hey" I say and they look at me.
"Rory, I'm Dr. Livingston, I'm Honor's OBGYN. It's nice to meet you finally. Honor talks about you and Logan often" he says shaking my hand and I nod.
"You okay" Logan questions me walking closer to me.
"Light headed" I state sitting on the exam table.
"It's from the blood being drawn, you need more iron; we'll have to watch that" the doctor says and I smile.
"So you think you're pregnant" he questions and I nod. "Nervous" he laughs.
"Very" I state.
"She's usually not this quiet, it's quite odd behavior for her" Logan smirks and slap his chest. "What, I'm right" he states.
"Why don't we do an exam to see, while waiting for them to process the samples, If you are I want to do an ultrasound, It's the best predictor of when exactly the little one was conceived and due" Dr. Livingston says handing me a drape.
"Bottom down, I'll give you a minute" he says stepping out.
"Need help" Logan smirks.
"Keep it up and you're be waiting in the waiting room until I'm done" I state and he comes closer as I'm undoing my jeans.
"Now, you don't want that do you" he says cupping my cheek.
"No I want you in here with me, but making funny of me being nervous isn't helping the nerves Logan" I say upset and he kisses me lightly.
"I'm sorry" he says hugging me. He steps back and lets me finish. I sit on the table at the end, used to annual exams when the doctor knocks.
"You're last exam was when" he questions taking the Pap smear and checking my cervix.
"In October" I state eyes shut tightly, I hate this. I know I always schedule them around my birthday to remember. Logan is standing by my shoulder and I keep glancing up at him. If I didn't know better I would say he was jealous. Jealous of the doctor giving me an exam, that's going to be great using against him later.
"Everything looks good down here, and you feel about 8weeks give and take" he says and I look up at Logan who's shocked. "So get dressed and I'll have a nurse escort you down to ultrasound. I'll see you in a few minutes and congratulations" he says shaking my hand and Logan's. Logan still looks shocked.
"Huntz you okay there, need some water or perhaps a time machine" I smirk standing up and getting dressed and he sits down in the chair. "Logan" I try again stepping closer after I'm dressed.
"You're pregnant" he says unsure.
"Yes, we established that days ago with the tests and the doctor just confirmed it" I state sitting on his lap. He holds on to me and hugs me tightly.
"You're really are pregnant" he says looking at me and I smile.
"Yes, now, I don't know about you but I want to see our baby and then get some food I'm starving" I say kissing his forehead before getting up. He smiles at me brightly and follows me to the door.
"Let's go see our baby" he says.

We're waiting at Alex's school for him to come up front. We decided to take him out after the doctor's appointment. The ultrasound confirmed that I was 9weeks and due December 20th. A Christmas baby, nothing could be more perfect. The baby looked like a peanut shape but zooming in you can see that the baby is forming right on schedule.
"Mommy, Daddy" he says coming out with Ms. Honeycutt his teacher.
"Alex says you're getting married, I wanted to extend our congratulations to you both" she says. She's about 30 with blonde hair, but she's very sweet. Alex loves her.
"Thank you" I state picking Alex up and hugging him.
"We'll see you tomorrow Alex" she says.
"Bye" he waves as Logan holds the door opened for us.
"What do you say we get some lunch at home and head to the park buddy" Logan says as I put him down.
"Cool" he says climbing into the car.
"You shouldn't be lifting him" Logan says closing the door after Alex is buckled.
"I will pick him up when I want, you heard the doctor I should try to stick to my daily routine" I state.
"He also said to exercise, eat healthy, limit your caffeine intake are you planning on doing that" he smirks walking around the car.
"Maybe" I state getting in and he laughs. I don't know if I can give up coffee. I know that I should, but it's my sole elixir of life that makes me who I am. This is going to be so hard.
At home, we get lunch together and sit down at the table before Logan began. "Alex, Mommy and I have something to tell you" Logan starts as we sit down.
"What" he says with a mouthful of chips and I laugh.
"You know how we're getting married" I say and he nods. He was ecstatic about that. It was one of his birthday wishes that he told me about that morning and about be always being his mommy forever. I'm just hoping he will be about the baby too.
"Well what would you say if we told you you're going to be a big brother" Logan says and he screamed. That wasn't what we expected. He yelled at the top of his lungs and threw all his food on the floor and running away from the table. He ran down to his room and slammed the door. Logan and I just sat there looking at one other as we can hear him screaming.
"I should go talk to him" Logan says standing up as his cell phone rings. "It's Honor" he says staring at the door.
"I'll go to Alex, it's probably Josh anyways" I smile knowing that Honor is probably in labor. She was due in 4 days.
"Alex" I say knocking on his door.
"Go away" he yells. Now I feel horrible. Logan and I wanted this so much that we never really thought of Alex.
"I'm not going to do that, Alex" I state and he screams louder. It's this ear piercing scream that you think he was hurt, but he's just frustrated and acting out.
"Alexander Elias Huntzberger you open this door right now" Logan states harshly knocking on the door.
"NO" Alex yells. Logan look shocked. Alex listens so well all the time, I don't think Logan is used to this acting out and back talking.
"Alexander I'm not playing with you. Aunt Honor is having her baby and we need to get to the hospital. You need to come out her now" Logan yells. I step back. I hate that he's yelling at him. It's not his fault that he's upset over the baby. It's ours.
"Alexander, I'm giving you to the count of 3 to open this door before I do it' he states.
"Logan, stop" I say trying to calm him down.
"No, you told him to open this door and he didn't listen. He needs to listen, Rory" he states still angry.
"Go to hospital for your sister and let me deal with Alex please. We'll meet you there" I state touching his arm.
"Alexander, you better listen to mommy do you hear me" Logan states.
"Yes sir" Alex states sarcastically. Oh, he's so Logan's son with that attitude. I couldn't help it I giggled. Logan just looked at me.
"Are you sure" Logan states as we walk away from the door.
"Go, I'll see you soon" I say kissing him.
"Call me if there's a problem" he says kissing me. I smile and shut the door behind him. I leave Alex in is room to cool off. That's what Mom does with Will all the time. I clean up lunch, putting Alex's in a bag to take with us. I eat mine as I clean up.
"Hi" I hear Alex behind me about ten minutes after Logan left.
"Hi" I say turning around to see him with his Kangaroo. It was a present from Finn for his birthday. "I sorry" he says looking down.
"Do you want to talk about it little man" I question bending down to him. He only nods and heads to the couch.
"Okay little man, want to tell me what all that was about" I question handing him a juice box.
"You no love me no more" he says holding mate (the kangaroo's name) close to him.
"Why would I not love you Alex" I question already knowing where this is going. "Baby" he says.
"Oh, you think that since Mommy and Daddy are having a baby that we won't love you no more" I say and he nods.
"Never going to happen" I say hugging him.
"We need you little man, and the baby is going to need its big brother" I say and he looks up at me like I'm crazy, just like Logan does sometimes.
"Who else is going teach the baby how to not lose Daddy" I question and he looks excited.
"ME" he says and I nod.
"Daddy gets lost all the time, we need an expert to find him and that's you" I say tapping his nose.
"Plus, who else is going to teach the baby how to get everything out of mommy and daddy that it wants" I say and he smile.
"Me" he says and I nod.
"See we need you and we will always love you no matter how many babies we have" I say.
"Can I feed baby" he questions.
"You can sure help, Mommy is going to need you to help her, and I can't think of someone better for the job than you" I state getting up and grabbing his lunch.
"Really" he says following me with mate.
"Yep" I state "so what do you say, you ready to be a big brother now" I question handing him his lunch.
"Yes" he says jumping up and down.
"Alright, now let's go see daddy and your new cousin" I say walking to the door.
"Daddy not mad no more" he questions in the elevator. "He might be, but leave that to me little man" I wink at him and he giggles.
We enter the delivery waiting room to see Mitchum and Logan there with Josh's parent I believe. Ava and Lily are sleeping on the opposite sofas. "Daddy" Alex yells running across the room to Logan. "I see someone is out of his room.
"Mommy loves me" Alex says as I sit next to Logan.
"Of course she does" Logan says looking at me.
"And you love me" Alex continues and Logan laugh. I think he realized what happened.
"That's very true, always buddy" Logan says.
"And I love baby" he says everyone gets quiet.
"What did you say Alex" Mitchum questions him.
"I love baby" he states again to his grandfather.
"What baby" Mitchum says confused.
"That baby" he state like duh grandpa pointing to my stomach.
"You're pregnant" Mitchum says surprised.
"9 weeks Dad" Logan says proudly.
"Well isn't this the day of surprises" Mitchum says standing up and pulling me up and hugging me. Now, it's my turn to be shocked.
"Congratulations" he says letting go and I look at Logan who's just as shocked at the public display as I am.
"Thanks" I say sitting back down and looking at Logan who shrugs.
"It's a boy" Josh says ecstatically coming out smiling in scrubs. The room erupts in congratulations. "He's 8 lbs 3 oz and 22 inches long" Josh says hugging his mom.
"Big boy" Mitchum laughs and I look at Logan. Now, I'm scared. He leans over and kisses me temple and whispering "months to go Ace, relax."
"Honor wants to see Rory" Josh says and everyone looks at me. I just shrug and follow Josh to the back.
"Hey" I say walking into the room with Honor holding the little baby.
"Nice to see you again Rory" Dr. Livingston says filling out some charts.
"Oh I knew it" Honor smiles at me.
"9 weeks" I say walking to the bed to see the baby. He's adorable with dark hair like Josh and fair skin like Honor.
"He's adorable" I state.
"I want you as his godparent" she says and I look at her. I wasn't expecting that. "Well you and Logan" Josh states.
"But I assumed…" I say surprised. I thought Logan was Lily's or Ava's godfather.
"He was so busy with Alex with the girls to appreciate being a godfather. It seems right now. Josh's sister and her husband is Ava's and his brother and his wife are Lily's. It's time" Honor says and I smile.
"Of course, Logan is going to love it" I say.
"Well then Aunt Rory, I want to introduce you to Caleb Logan Hartman" Honor says.
"Hey Caleb" I say as she hands me the baby. I just stare at him as I walk over to the rocking chair on the other side of the bed.
"Baby" Alex says coming in with Logan and Lily who must have woken up. Her crazy blonde hair hanging over his shoulder and I smile. I wonder if our daughter will have blonde hair.
"He's you're new cousin" Honor says as Logan hands a sleeping Lily to Josh. He's just watching me and I smile.
"Hi baby" he says as I rock the baby. "Auntie Honor, guess what?" Alex says walking over to his Aunt as Logan walks and bends down to me.
"What" she says amused, playing his game.
"Mommy having baby too" he says excited.
"Really, well I don't know a better person to be a big brother than you little guy" she says and he laughs.
"That's what mommy said" he states walking back to me.
"You look amazing holding him Ace" Logan says looking at Caleb then at me.
"Want to hold him" I say handing him the baby. He takes Caleb and lift Alex to my lap. Logan looks like the perfect dad holding a newborn and I don't know if I can wait 7 months to see him holding ours.
"Daddy me hold baby too, you have to share" Alex says holding his hands out and Logan looks at Honor. The room laughs at Alex.
"He has to learn sometime" she smiles. I move Alex's arms so he can hold Caleb. Logan places him down into Alex's arms, but I keep mine directly under him to really support him without Alex knowing.
"Me holding baby" he says proudly and Josh snaps a picture. "Me going to be awesome big brother Mommy" he says looking at me.
"Yes you are Alex" I laugh kissing his hair.
