As Stimpy's first trimester headed into his second, things for the two started to get much more difficult.
Ren would try to be as nice as possible to Stimpy. Even though it KILLED him to even try to be nice. Ren would try to make Stimpy feel comfortable, but he would always get yelled at. Ren was getting much more stressed out and irritated.
Stimpy, on the other hand, was ok. By his 4th month, his morning sickness has stopped, and wicked mood swings and cravings started setting in as well as fatigue. His stomach was also bigger. Stimpy wasn't as stressed out as Ren was. Due to his oblivious and naïve nature, he wouldn't notice that he was actually being pretty mean towards Ren. At times, Stimpy would yell at him for just asking a question. Other times, he would want EVERYTHING from Ren. And I do mean everything.
Other days, Stimpy would be too tired to do anything.
One particular day was like this.
Ren, getting done with his cigarette, went upstairs to go and wake up Stimpy.
Stimpy, now 5 months in, would be going to the doctor's for his first ultrasound. Ren was excited because he would be able to see his daughter or son.
Ren made his way upstairs and into their bedroom.
Stimpy was sprawled out on the bed, nuzzling with a pillow; purring softly and in blissful peace.
Ren's ears went back and he rolled his eyes. "Hey stupid," Ren nudged Stimpy softly.
"Time to get up for your appointment."
Stimpy whined and turned over. He glanced up at Ren. "Can we just reschedule it?"
"No, Stimpy. We gotta go." Ren sighed as he crossed his arms. "You wanna make sure the baby is ok, right?"
Stimpy nodded, "Yeah I guess so."
Stimpy sat up, still exhausted. He stretched and looked down at his belly. His ears went back at how big he was now.
"Why am I so fat, Ren?" Stimpy stared up at Ren.
Ren scoffed, "I dunno… the baby is growing?"
Stimpy glared at Ren's smart-alecky comment and stood up. He was getting back pains when he would try to do certain things, like bending down to reach for something or simply stretching.
Stimpy walked over the dresser and stuck his tongue out as he grabbed and slipped on a light pink maternity dress. Stimpy stared at Ren with a girly expression.
"Do I look pretty, Ren?"
Ren just stared at him and started to walk out the door. "Yeah, really pretty, Stimpy. Now let's go." Ren wasn't in the mood to complement Stimpy's appearance. To Ren, Stimpy still looked like the normal dumbass he was…just in a dress. Which made it weirder.
The two headed out of the house and into the car. Stimpy, in the passenger's seat and Ren in the driver's.
Ren started down the road, staring blankly into space.
Their neighborhood was really quiet. Hardly anyone lived next or around their house. I guess that all the neighbors were scared of Ren just going apeshit and killing everyone around him.
Stimpy looked over at Ren and smiled.
Ren glanced at him, then looked towards the stoplight they were approaching; slowing the car down.
"What are YOU so happy about?"
"Well, aren't I getting an ult…altu…ultro—
"Ultrasound?"
"Yeah! That's it!" Stimpy smiled and closed his hands together on top of his tummy. "Aren't I getting one of those?"
Ren sighed. "Yes Stimpy, you are…"
"Oh joy!...Ehh what's an ultrasound, Ren?"
Ren glared at Stimpy and sighed heavily. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and a lighter. He rolled down the window, lit the cigarette, and took a long inhale.
"An ultrasound is what the doctor uses to look inside your stomach so he can see how the baby is developing." Ren exhaled and took another drag.
Stimpy's ears perked up. "Oh, so we can see the baby too?" Stimpy smiled, getting excited.
"Yes, Stimpy.." Ren replied as he face palmed as Stimpy's stupidity.
Once the duo got to the hospital, they were in the waiting room, waiting to be called next.
Stimpy looked around at the people in the room, then over at the children there. He then glanced at Ren and nuzzled against his shoulder.
"I love you R—
Ren roughly pushed him off. "N-not in public, Stimpy… okay?" He said, at least trying to smile and be nice.
Stimpy growled softly and turned away. Once again, his hormones were getting the best of him.
"Of course… I can never show you how much I love you…" Stimpy mumbled to himself.
Ren sighed and placed a reluctant hand on Stimpy's shoulder. "Stimpy… I've told you before not to—
"Oh no, it's fine Ren!" he shouted a bit. "Everything is all fuckin' fine!"
People looked over at the two and stared.
Ren's ears went down and his face flushed from embarrassment. Not only was he embarrassed, he was also put off that Stimpy would curse out in public.
"Stimpy…" He chucked nervously, rubbing his own arm and looking around at the eyes on the two of them. "C-calm down, s-sweetie…"
Stimpy glared at Ren. "You always want me to be calmed down! Can't YOU be the one to calm down for once?"
Ren, anger quickly building inside of him, glared at Stimpy. He raised his hand to smack the shit out of Stimpy, until the nurse called the two into the room.
Ren mentally sighed and tried to remain calm. Oh thank god…
The doctor, Dr. Mr. Horse, was already for them in the room. He smiled casually and opened the door for them.
"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Hoek!" He said all formal and closed the door behind Ren.
Stimpy hopped in the bed and crossed his arms. "Hi…"
Ren sat in the chair next to Stimpy and crossed his arms. "Let's get this shit over with."
Mr. Horse raised an eyebrow at the two.
"I take it the mood swings kinda—
"Yep." Ren interrupted.
Mr. Horse nodded and proceeded with the examination. He got the ultrasound machine all plugged up, the clipboard to take notes on, and finally he got Stimpy all ready.
"Alright, seems like we're all ready, here!" Mr. Horse examined the two.
Stimpy was all ready to get this thing over with. Some covers were around his legs to make sure he wouldn't get too cold, and his tummy was exposed, ready for the ultrasound.
Ren on the other hand, was just watching, not really giving a fuck about this whole appointment. Sure, he wanted to know the gender of the kid, but that was it basically.
"Alright, well, lemme go run something with the nurse and I'll be right back with you!" Mr. Horse quietly exited the room.
Stimpy looked over at Ren. This, being Stimpy's first ultrasound appointment, was nerve-racking to say the least. He was a bit scared and didn't really know about what would happen.
"Ren…?" He started. "I uhh… I'm scared…" Stimpy's ears went down and his eyes got big.
"You'll be fine, Stimpy. It's just a checkup." Ren said as he stretched his arms and looked over at Stimpy.
"B-but what if something goes wrong?"
Ren looked over at him and his ears went down a bit. He still tried to keep his straight face.
"Like, what if the… ultrasound ends up hurting the baby?"
"Stimpy there's no—
"The radiation from the ultrasound?" Stimpy's ears went down. "Oh god… Ren! What if the doctor accidentally does something?" Tears filled Stimpy's eyes.
Ren sighed and walked over to his upset little lover in bed. He took Stimpy's hand and stroked it. "Now Stimpy… This doctor knows what he's doing. There's no reason to be afraid! Nothing will go wrong, I promise." Ren said with a reassuring smile.
Stimpy stared at Ren and leaned back in the bed, starting to calm down.
Ren was still stroking his hand and used his other hand to gently wipe away a few stray tears on Stimpy's cheeks.
"Ok," Mr. Horse said as he returned to the room. He closed the door and picked up some of the medical gel and walked over towards Stimpy.
Stimpy stared at the gel in his hands. "Uhh…what's that?" Stimpy pointed at the gel.
"Oh this?" He showed Stimpy the gel in hand. "This is to protect the baby from the ultrasound waves. Nothing too serious!" He smiled.
Stimpy looked over at Ren and held on to his hand.
Ren looked over at Stimpy and gently patted his hand.
Mr. Horse put the medical gel and the clip board down on the counter next to him. He then picked up a fetal stethoscope and walked over to Stimpy. He gently placed the trumpet like part on Stimpy's stomach and listened.
Stimpy watched and looked over at Ren. "What's he doing?"
"Just listening to the heart beat of the baby." Ren replied.
Mr. Horse took the stethoscope off and placed it on the counter. "Well, the heart beat sounds good," He picked up the medical gel and returned to Stimpy. "Ready for the ultrasound?"
Stimpy said, "Will we be able to hear the baby?"
The doctor nodded.
Stimpy closed his hands together and looked over at Ren with a derpy expression.
Ren smiled back reluctantly.
Mr. Horse placed a small amount of the gel on Stimpy's belly and took ahold of the transducer and gently placed it on top of the gel; moving it around slightly so that the gel would spread out.
Stimpy giggled from the feeling and stuck his tongue out.
"it tickles!"
Ren stared at the doctor, making sure everything was going fine. "Yep."
Stimpy held on to Ren's hand and watched the doctor.
Mr. Horse nodded, pleased with the view on the screen.
"Your baby seems to be healthy and seems to be developing really well…!"
Stimpy smiled and his eyes got big. "Can we see?"
"Sure."
Mr. Horse turned the screen to the two of them.
Both Stimpy and Ren smiled at the picture. "Wow…" they both said.
"Mhm... and if you two would like, I could determine the gender of the baby."
Stimpy smiled and sat up slightly. "Oh yes! Please do!"
Ren smiled and stared at the doctor along with Stimpy.
Mr. Horse smiled and turned the screen back to where he could see it. He moved the device around on Stimpy's tummy slowly to get a better view.
"It appears that you two are…" He looked over to the two of them. "Are going to have a little girl."
