Chapter 1
A/N: please review and PM on what you think Jake and Marley should have, Twins? Triplets? Or just one? Girl or a boy?
Jake's POV
I open my eyes gently to find myself squinting at the blinding light peeking through a split in the curtains. Sitting up I hear a grumbling noise coming from the bathroom. As I head towards the noise I realise what it is- Marley's having morning sickness. I poke my head around the door,
"Marls?" I ask.
"Stupid morning sickness!" She mumbles to herself as she wipes her mouth and rinses it out. I laugh quietly to myself. "It's not funny! Actually it's very annoying!"
"And it's only going to get worse!" I say to wind her up and it works as she hits me on the arm.
Before she can say anything else, she belches and covers her mouth; then empties the contents of her stomach into the toilet. Feeling like there was not much that I could do to help, I hold back her hair back out of the way.
5 minutes later after she had stopped being sick and had just brushed her teeth we both walk into the bedroom and get back into bed. She turns over onto her side and I wrap my arm around her
"Yep! Definitely pregnant!" I hear her mutter. I chuckle silently to myself.

Marley's POV (2 days later)
I suddenly wake up to find myself suddenly really wanting pickles! I know weird right! I assume it's one of those weird pregnancy cravings. I look at the clock and its 6:30 which means the store is probably open. Not wanting to wake Jake up I put on some sweats, run downstairs, quickly write a note to Jake telling him where I was, grab my keys and purse then jump in the car to go to the store and grab some pickles. When I get back I find Jake sitting on the couch watching TV.
"I was wondering where you were?" He ponders.
I look at the clock, its 8:00. Was I really out that long?
"Oh yeah, sorry! I didn't realise I had been that long." I reply
"What were you doing anyway?" He asks.
"Well... Basically... I woke up this morning at about 6:30 really craving pickles for some reason so I just-" I say rambling on. Jake stops me mid-sentence laughing.
"Wait... You spent an hour and a half buying pickles?" He asks whilst laughing and making fun of me.
"There were lots of pickles to choose from okay!" I say defending myself although giggling myself. This makes him laugh even more. "Look you're just going to have to get used to my crazy because I'm going to be like this for the next 9 months!" I say, smiling.
"That's fine! But can I at least laugh at you?" He asks me.
"Oh yeah sure! Go ahead! Laugh!" I say sarcastically. "But next time you're going to be the one that going to get up at 6:00 to go buy pickles! And they better be the right ones because if they aren't then you will have your crazy pregnant girlfriend to deal with! And trust me, she won't be happy!" Jake looks kind of freaked out now. "So I'm sure that that's hilarious!" I say, again, sarcastically.
"Good to know." He says.
"Uh huh." I say back.
I then slide down next to him on the couch and give him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I love my crazy pregnant girlfriend!" He says smirking.
"Yep, you know it! Wait I've just bright that nickname on haven't I?" I ask Jake. He just nods.
I somehow find myself falling asleep on Jake's arm, I must be tired. After all that's another thing about pregnancy - tiredness. This is going to be a long 9 months...

Jake's POV
I unlock the door and enter through the front door, just getting back from work. I make my to the kitchen/living room (as its open plan) where I find Marley making us dinner.
"Hey babe!" She says.
"Hey! How are you?" I ask then hesitate. "No, how are you both? I ask again then touch her stomach.
"What? Oh yeah... Sorry! Sometimes I just forget." She says. "We are both fine. How are you? How was work?" She asks me.
"Oh yeah good thanks." I say back.
After Jake graduated him, with Mike and Brittany, set up a dance studio in the heart of New York. After Marley's amazing performance at the spring showcase and amazing grades she had gotten at NYADA, she had immediately gotten a record deal and was now a successful singer/songwriter. They both earn a good amount of money from their jobs.
"So babe..." I say. "I was thinking that we should probably go to the doctors because... Y'know."
"Yeah! I agree! Actually I was just about to say that!" She says. "Shall I go call the doctors now?" She asks.
"Probably best." I say back.
After 2 minutes of her talking to the doctors, Marley puts down the phone and comes back into the room.
"The earliest appointment they had was 11:00 tomorrow. Sorry, I know that's when you're supposed to be at the studio." She says.
"Nah, its fine!" I say. "Anything for you and my little munchkin!" I say and smile.
"I love you." She says.
"I love you too." I reply. She then kisses me passionately.
"I've just got to go call mike and tell him that I need to take tomorrow off." I say.
"Okay!" She says.
I then pick up the phone and type in Mike's number.
"Yo, Chang!" I say.
"Yo, mini puckerman!" Mike replies.
"So dude, I've got to take tomorrow off." I say.
"Oh. Why?" Mike asks.
"Just... Err... Marley's got a doctor appointment." I say.
"Well why do you need to go then?" Mike asks. Backtracking he says: "Wait what kind of doctor? Is Marley pregnant?"
"What no! Of course not!" I say.
"Uh huh..." He murmurs to himself. "Dude! You can't win! I know when you're lying! It's like a weird Asian 6th sense or something!" He says. I laugh at him because sometimes he can be so weird sometimes.
"Shit Mike! Don't tell anybody!" I tell him.
"What! Why?" He asks.
"Because this is our first doctor appointment which means we don't even know how many weeks in she is and you're the first person to know, including our parents which means if my mom, or Marley finds out I'm literally dead!" I say getting stressed out.
"Oh..." Mike realises.
"Yeah..." I say, mimicking him. "So what do you not do?"
"Tell anybody." He replies.
"Got it?" I ask.
"Yep, got it!" He says. I hear Marley calling me from behind the kitchen.
"Shit! Dude I've got to go, Marley's calling me." I say.
"Kay, bye!" Mike says.
"Bye!" I say back.
I then put the phone down and return to the kitchen where Marley is still making dinner
"Hey honey." She says. "Everything alright?"
"Yep, just fine." I say. I just hate lying to Marley, every time I do I feel like someone has just punched me in the gut.
"Okay... Just to let you know dinners ready." She says.
"Cool!" I say as I go to sit down. "I'm starving!" Marley just laughs as she brings over my food.
"You always are!" She says, still laughing. She then places down my food and kisses me on the lips.

Marley's POV
"Marley Rose?" A nurse calls. This is it; I get to see my baby. I get up and Jake takes my hand in his as we walk towards the nurse.
"Hi Miss Rose, I'm Nurse Ballard." Nurse Ballard says to me, and then motions towards Jake. "And this is?"
"Oh this is my boyfriend Jake." I reply. "And please, call me Marley."
"Okay Marley, Jake. Please follow me." Nurse Ballard says. We do exactly that and follow her into a small-ish room. She hands me a small robe and tells me to change into it. I then lie down on a bed/chair as she starts to get her tools ready for the ultrasound. I stare into Jake's eyes longingly and he stares back.
"Okay Marley, just warning you this is going to be a little cold." The nurse says.
As she rubs the cold liquid over my lower stomach I gasp loudly, the nurse and Jake both look up at me anxiously.
"Uurrmm... It's just very cold..." I murmur. Jake laughs quietly at me. I just stick at him.
"Okay, Jake and Marley... Look at that dot on the screen... That's your baby! I can officially that you Marley Rose are pregnant! It looks like you're about 9weeks" Nurse Ballard announces.
Looking at my and Jake's baby I couldn't help but let a tear slip from my eye. I look at Jake who has also got tears in his eyes, but being a Puckerman, of course couldn't let a tear fall.
"It's Beautiful!" I hear Jake mumble to himself.
"Okay so here's the papers you need to sign." The Nurse hands them to Jake. "Here's some pan flits about pregnancy." She hands those to me. "Would you like me to print you two a sonogram?" We both nod. "Last thing, do you two have any questions?" The Nurse finally asks. I know exactly what I want to ask.
"When can we find out the sex?" I ask the Nurse.
"Between 16-20 weeks." She replies. "Any other questions?" she then asks again.
"Err I do." Jake says. He then motions towards the corner of the room.
I can't hear much of what they're saying although I am intrigued. Suddenly they stop and Jake looks slightly embarrassed. They both walk back towards me, I look at Jake confused.
"I'm just going to go print the sonogram I'll be back in 5 minutes." Nurse Ballard says and then exits the room. I turn round to face Jake.
"What did you ask Nurse Ballard?" I ask him.
"Err... Nothing..." He says suspiciously.
"No! You have to tell me I'm pregnant!" I say, pouting.
"What! You can't use that!" He complains.
"Err! Yes I can!" I say.
"Fine! All I asked was if..." Jake suddenly goes quiet. "We could... y'know..."
"Oh my god!" I say.
"What! I just wasn't sure and I didn't want to like… squish the baby!" He asks.
"I can't believe you did that!" I say. He smirks. "You're such a pervert!" I say.
"You know it babe!" He says smiling. "Anyway just in case you wanted to know, we can." I roll my eyes him. "Don't pretend you didn't want to know because apparently pregnant women are really horny." Of course I don't deny it because well I have been thinking it. Jake notices my silence and sees the look on my face. "Yes! I was right!" Jake exclaims.
Before he can say anything else the nurse comes back with our sonograms. Jake and I sign the papers, book another appointment and then head home, overwhelmed with joy.
