So without any further words, I now present you chapter 9. Please review. I hope you'll enjoy !
The next appointment with doctor Susan Boyle, our ob was today. Clark is in her 13th week of pregnancy already and her nausea days are almost gone. The doctor said that she would start feeling better by entering her second trimester. We were having breakfast in our kitchen before we go and meet with the doctor.
"Will, I've been thinking"
"Yeah, me too love"
"Oh really? What?"
"That I need a shave"
"Well, I am glad that you haven't lost your sense of sarcasm Will. Come on I am serious"
"Ok Clark. Let's see what is it that bothers that pretty head of yours"
"Well, I think it's time for me to do something like yoga or some other pregnancy exercises. I've read that I am allowed to do so, especially after my first trimester. Plus it would be very good for the babies"
"Was that it? I was afraid from the look on your face. Ok love, we will look up to it. I promise. In the meantime, I was looking up on my computer for some childbirth educational courses. It'll be good for them and you. We have to be ready. So I guess I think we think alike. Strange huh?"
"You …. Xmmm that's why I love you Will Traynor"
"I love you too Louisa Clark Traynor. Besides they have to learn even before they're born all about activities. And when the time comes, I will teach them everything about sports. I can't wait to teach them as much as I can about anything"
"You are so sweet. Well I will teach them all about clothes"
"Oh dear God Clark, our kids are going to be called –rainbows- . Good thing they'll have their father's sense of humor"
"You mean sarcasm. Oh Will, you are impossible. But I love you and your sarcasm as well"
"But I like to tease you my bumbleebee girl. You know that. They will be great Clark. Even with your crazy sense of fashion. I love it and I love you. They will look adorable in their blacked and yellowed striped clothes as their mother does look so beautiful with her bumbleebee tights"
She laughed at me and kissed my lips.
"Ok Will, we better get going"
"Yes, let's go"
When we arrived and doctor Boyle took us into the examining room she said while looking at the ultrasound monitor:
"Ok , we should have a more complete picture today Mr. and Mrs. Traynor"
"Are we going to find out what their sexes are doctor Boyle?" I asked her not being able to hide my enthusiasm"
"Yes doctor, will my husband and I be able to find that out today?"
"Well, I can tell you but I won't be a hundred percent sure about it. So I could tell you, without any certainty right now, or we could wait until our next appointment where the scan exam will tell us for sure about the "she" or "he". It's your decision either way"
We both told her that as much as we both wanted to find out our babies' possible sexes in that instant moment, it wouldn't hurt us to wait just a few more weeks to know for sure.
"Ok, very well Mr. and Mrs. Traynor. Let's see your babies' overall growth process so far. Shall we?"
While Clark and I were looking at the ultrasound monitor we could see both of our babies in the size of a medium goldfish, larger than the last time we saw them of course, but shorter than a finger.
"Oh God Will, they're so grown love"
"Of course they are my beautiful Clark. They're not dwarfs after all" she looked at me full of love and amused by my sense of humor and sarcasm. Then the doctor popped in explaining to us:
"Okay the nose and lips are fully shaped and completely formed Mr and Mrs Traynor. Our two fetuses here are already showing individual features and characteristics"
I couldn't help but looking at the monitor and then back at Clark. She saved me. I chose to live because of her. And this was the best choice. The best decision I've ever made in my life. In six months from now we will have the two living proves of our love. We left doctor Boyle's office, taking our babies' ultrasound photo with us.
"So , Clark I have an idea. Why don't we go and see the facility for your childbirth courses today? One of the many I have found via internet is nearby. The doctor confirmed the necessity for these courses …. So what do you say?"
"Yes, absolutely yes my Will. Oh I am so excited. I am thrilled Will"
"Me too. Whatever makes you happy Clark"
"You and this …" she told me showing the ultrasound picture to me . She kissed me and I kissed her back. And then we paid a visit to the facility that specializes in childbirth courses and yoga and all kind of exercises for pregnant women.
"Oh Will, this place is great. I will love coming here. This will be great"
"You mean we will love coming here"
"What …. Are you sure? You won't be bored?"
"Well I will be so bored you are right" I told her mocking her of course
"What are you talking about Clark? How could I be bored? I will be right next to you in every step of the way. Always. Come here"
She sat on my lap and kissed me. The pregnancy courses would be starting this weekend. When we got back to our annex Clark left the ultrasound photo on the kitchen table, right in front of me while she was making us tea. As I was looking at the photo, at them, I looked back at her and I realized this: My lack of mobility isn't something that I wouldn't like to fix if I could. But Clark and our kids are the best thing that ever happened to me and they remind me that life is worthliving. That love can be found in the most unexpected places. In my case …. A carer that turned out to be the love of my life. Louisa Clark who loves me despite my condition. Who loves all of me, including my sarcasm. She loves me unconditionally. And I … Will Traynor I love her with all my heart , the bumbleebee girl with this beautiful heart and soul that brought joy with her crazy coloured clothes into my black mood .
"Okay mister ….. Tea is ready"
"Thank you my bee"
We had that tea, talking , kissing and enjoying each other.
"So husband of mine … what do you say? Shall we take a walk to the castle? I think we have to take our little ones there and show them where their father used to pretend he was a little warrior as a kid"
"Okay Clark" I said to her all amused
"After all we have one more hour until Nathan comes for my physio. Let's go"
And we were in the castle all talking and laughing. I was talking to Clark's belly and telling all about the place to our little ones. Clark was so happy. I was happy.
"Okay babies, these are the stories for today. We will continue another time"
"Do you promise daddy?" Clark said to me
"Oh I promise my girl"
As we returned back to the annex I saw a package right in the middle of our bedroom.
"Bloody hell. What is that and who could have left it here?"
"Well, I say we open it and find that out Will"
"Clark, why do I got the feeling that you already know what this is?"
She looked at me smiling and then she unwrapped the package. I was overwelmed and speechless –funny because I always knew what to say- . Before me there was a portrait. A portrait with three pictures … The first one was depicting our first dance with Clark in Alicia's and Rupert's wedding. Where I told her for the first time that she is the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning. The second picture was our kiss on our honeymoon room in Mauritius, that beautiful and stormy night. And finally, the third picture, was showing Clark, me and our babies. One of them into Clark's arms and the other lying on my lap while Clark and I are looking at each other with love and hapiness. And at the bottom of the portrait, there was one single phrase : "You and me ….. before, after, always together"
"Do you like it Will love?"
"I love it Clark and I love you. I really do. When did you … How did you do this?"
"Well, I have it ordered as I imagine it from our moments and from our future. A reminder of our love. Let's call it even for the nursery room. You're not the only one with surprises love. This is our life Will. Me with you is everything to me Will"
"And me before you was nothing to me Clark. Me with you is everything. I love you. I always have and I always will"
"Me too Will. Always"
We kissed while she was sitting on my lap, looking at the portrait. The portrait of our life !
