Saphire's POV
It had been over two weeks and things were going great between me and Hank, all except this one thing: this queazy feeling. I'v been feeling dizzy, exhausted, weak and uncomfortable. Everyday he went to work and I stayed home, in the bed sleeping all day. In the morning I would vomit and cry then laugh...I couldn't understand it. My period had not come on...what was going with me? One night I just couldn't take anymore medicine that his maid gave me anymore. I needed to go to the hospital. I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was also feeling depressed, like I did before I met Hank. We didn't even get dressed, we went to the hospital's ER in our PJ's because the pain was excruciating. It wasn't in any other area but my lower stomach. the nurse placed us in the room, then the doctor came in and began to ask us a couple of questions.
" Okay, Ms. Commers, what seems to be the problem?"
" Umm..I have been experiencing fatigue, nausea, dizziness, weakness and mood swings."
" How long has this been going on?"
" For about 8 days." Hank jumped in.
" Okay well you are not the first couple to come in with these symptoms. Have you had unprotected sex in the past eighteen days?"
" Uh...yeah." We both said.
" Okay. And is this been occurring anywhere else?"
" No, just my lower stomach."
" Okay well we're going to give you an ultrasound to see whats going on and some ibuprofen to help pass the pain."
The doctor then left out of the room. I didn't know what to expect. Soon the doctor and a nurse came back and led us to the ultrasound room. I laid down on the medical bed and Hank lifted up my shirt. The nurse then squirted a blue gel on my stomach. I then looked over at the ultrasound screen as the nurse scrolled the transducer on my lower stomach.
" Well, I don't see anything out of the ordin-Oh what do we have here?" She said.
" Why, Mrs. Commers, you're pregnant!" My heart sunk. Its not that I didn't want my baby, its just that I was getting myself together and I didn't know a thing about babies, let alone raise them. I looked over at Hank and his face was full of elation. I turned my head to continue looking at the ceiling.
" Well, no wonder you had those symptoms. Now all you need is some ibuprofen to ease the symptoms and I will be right back and go get it." Saying that, she wiped my stomach off and left out the room. I then sat up looking to the floor below me.
" Sophia, did you hear that? We're going to be parents! Whats wrong? You don't look happy...whats the matter?" He said jumping out his seat and grabbing my shoulders happily.
" Ill pack my things when we return to your house."
" Sophia-what are you talking about?"
" Hank, how am I supposed to take care of a baby? I can hardly take care of myself. Plus, you didn't say you wanted a family with me. Who would want to have anything with me anyway."
" Ohmygoodness. It sounds like we're back at square one, with that negative thinking. Sophia, I love you with all my heart. I can take care of you. I believe that women shouldn't have to work, with all the scenarios that you all have to put up with. I promise, I will take care of you and the baby. I love you too much to let you go or the baby."
" You mean it?"
" From the bottom of my heart, Sophia."
" I love you, too. So you want to keep it?"
" Of course I do." He pulled me to his lips into a romantic kiss. He lid up the light in my life. I finally had high hopes about this pregnancy.
The nurse came in with the ibuprofen. I expected them to just give us the prescription.
" Okay. Eat before you take this as long as the symptoms continue. Do not continue to take them if you do not have the symptoms anymore okay? Here is your sonograph of the baby."
" Okay. Thank you." Hank said for me. I could see him staring at the picture with astonishment.
" I cant believe it. Im going to be a father!"
He was more excited then I expected him to be. After they gave us the medicine, we were discharged, walked to the parking lot. Good thing I had eaten before we came, which was not long ago. When I took the medicine, I felt so much better. We then hopped in the Benz and drove on to the highway.
" So, I was thinking if its a girl, we could name her Janine Yasmine Commers-McCoy. Or if its a boy, we can name him Jason Leroy Commers-McCoy. Do you like that?"
" I love those names! You're pretty excited, aren't you?"
" Oh yes, very. Aren't you?"
" Yes, very. Don't you want him, if its a boy, to have your name?"
" No, I want to try something different. That name has been passed down in my family for generations."
" Okay..."
" When we arrive home, I am going to tell Charles and Ororo the news."
" Great."
When we arrived home, he called Ororo to tell her the news.
" Hello, Ororo. May I speak to Charles please...what? thats not possible I-...Ohmystarsandgarters...Thank you, Ororo...I wont be late." He hung the phone slowly and I heard a sob come from him. I hurriedly ran over to him and touched his back.
" Hank, whats wrong?"
" The professors dead."
" What? How did-"
" The phoenix killed him...she ant control her powers...he disintegrated." He couldn't hold back the tears anymore. He started sobbing and grabbed me. I put his head on my shoulder and he cried.
" Its going to be okay."
" How could Magneto stand there and let him die like that?"
" I don't know, baby."
" I have to fight in this mutant war. For Charles." He said looking in my eyes.
" Are they having a funeral for him?"
" Yes. Its in a week."
" Do you want me to come with you?"
" No, thats alright."
" Okay." I kissed and then we went got in the shower and went to bed.
