Chapter 19 I love you…
Two months have passed since the two cousins have arrived at their new home in Cleveland Ohio. Since it was the middle of the year they couldn't start their special education yet so in the meantime Ben got a job as a security guard while Gwen stayed home for now. One day while the two cousins were eating dinner Gwen said to him
"Ben I have some news for you" she had a shy smile on her face as if she was about to admit something embarrassing.
"What is it Gwen?"
Gwen winced slightly and whispered
"I think I'm pregnant…" she smiled shyly again
Ben just looked at her and said
"Are you sure?"
"No but I have a strong feeling that that's the case. We should go see a doctor to make sure"
"Okay I'll see if we can get an appointment with Dr. Cohen. He was the family's women's doctor for years"
"Great. Thanks Ben" said Gwen and smiled as she smiled too as he put his hand on hers.
The next morning Ben called Dr. Cohen's office and was lucky to get an appointment for him and Gwen that afternoon at five o'clock and luckily it was Ben's day off so it didn't conflict with his appointment with the doctor. It was four fifteen and the two cousins were on their way to the doctor's clinic and waited in line until the secretary called
"Ben and Gwen Tennyson" and they walked in. They sat in front of the doctor and shook his hand
"How are you guys?" he asked
"We're fine thank you" said Gwen
"So what brings you to my office?" asked Doctor Cohen
"Because I think I'm pregnant" said Gwen
"That's wonderful and what made you reach that conclusion?"
"Because I felt my stomach growing gradually and I felt there was something bulky there"
"Yes that is a sign of pregnancy. So would you please lay down on the gurney and I'll get the ultra sound ready" said the doctor and Gwen obeyed. Since ultra sound gave Ben the creeps and he wanted to give Gwen some privacy they agreed in advance that he would wait outside during this part until the doctor was finished. So he left the room and waited outside in agonizing anticipation. Every second seemed like two years and he constantly checked his watch and stirred uncomfortably in his chair. He couldn't wait to hear the news but was also worried that the news is bad. At a certain point the secretary said to him
"Relax Mr. Tennyson I'm sure the baby's alright and the doctor knows what he's doing. You don't have to be so nervous"
Ben stopped stirring and said
"Right. Thanks for telling me"
"You're welcome" she said
After about twenty minutes the door opened and the doctor said
"Mr. Tennyson?" Ben jumped from his seat and walked back into the doctor's office
"Well I'm happy to inform you that your wife is pregnant with a baby girl" he smiled and Ben's face lit with joy
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely" said the doctor and smiled
"That's fantastic!" said Ben trying not to laugh from happiness and he leant to hug and kiss Gwen on the lips
"Now just make sure that you get a lot of rest during the next few months until the birth of the baby and for the first few months afterwards"
"No problem. Thanks doctor" said Gwen and smiled and he smiled too
"How much do we owe you?"
"Twenty two dollars" said the doctor
"Okay" said Ben and took out his wallet. He extracted a few bills and gave it to the doctor
"Thank you" he said
"Thank you" said Ben as the doctor took out his receipt book, tore off one of the pages and wrote down some information on it. Once done he gave it to Ben and they thanked each other again and the two cousins walked put; hand in hand
"I can't believe you're actually pregnant" said Ben
"This is wonderful" he said with joy
"Yeah it is. I just hope the baby will be born healthy" she said
"Don't worry Gwen, it will. If you think like that it even increases the chances of it happening"
Gwen smiled at him as he smiled too when they entered their car.
"You know I love you right Gwen?" he asked
"Yes but not as much as I love you…" said Gwen as they both smiled as he leant to kiss her for the most wonderful and loving passionate kiss they ever shared in their life. It felt indescribably wonderful and pleasant to have their lips touch each other as it obliterated their awareness to anything but the kiss. They loved each other dearly and knew they were meant for each other… and they couldn't be happier about it…
