A Jecker Story - Chapter 15 - 6 Months Later
Jess' POV
The last six months have been stressful for both me and Becker as I have been recovering from the explosion, Becker has been trying to find out who it was that planted the bomb, the whole core team have been working round the clock as more anomaly's then ever have been popping up over the place and for the past three months have been trying for a baby but we've had no luck just yet. In fact I think that our luck is about to change because I haven't had my period this month but I hadn't told Becker yet as I didn't want to get his hopes up.
I looked over at Becker who was still asleep with his top off and his arm was resting over his stomach and he was snoring slightly. I got out of bed and grabbed my handbag which was hanging on the door to our bedroom and grabbed the pregnancy test out of it. I brought the test yesterday but couldn't bring myself to do it but I realised that if I didn't do it now then I would never do it, so I went into the bathroom and did what I had to do.
Me and Becker arrived at work and he walked me to my station like he did every morning and gave me a small kiss before telling me he would see me at lunch then he left me and went towards the armoury where he was going to do an inventory to make sure everything was there like it was supposed to be.
Abby came over to me about an hour later looking very pleased with herself, she stood next to me and just smiled "Are you going to tell me why you're smiling like weirdo or do I have to guess" I said to her.
"I'm pregnant!" She told me excitedly.
I got up and hugged her "Oh my God I am so happy for you! When did you find out?" I questioned.
"Me and Connor found out last week! I am so excited and I wanted you to be the first of our friends to know because I wanted you to be the Godmother to my baby" She told me
"Of course I will!" I hugged her again "Guess what..." I said.
"What?" She questioned.
"I'm pregnant too!" I answered.
Me and Abby went to the break room which was empty and we sat on a couple of chairs around the table and I told her that I hadn't told Becker yet and she wasn't to tell anyone, not even Connor because Connor could never keep a secret and he would end up telling Matt who would tell Emily and she would probably end up telling Becker, Abby promised not to tell anyone, not even Connor.
At lunchtime I went and met Becker in the armoury and found him going through some paperwork "Hey!" I said and stood behind him and kissed his cheek.
"Hey! You had a good morning?" He asked.
"Yeah it's been good... Did you see Connor yet?" I asked him. Abby told me Connor was supposed to come and see Becker and ask him to be Godfather to the baby.
"Yeah it's great news" He said and turned to face me.
"I know!" I said and sat on his lap and wrapped my arm around his neck.
"So how long until you think we finally have a baby?" He questioned.
"Actually I wanted to talk to you about that... Do you want to go to dinner tonight?" I asked.
"Sure" He answered.
Me and Becker went to the break room where Abby, Connor, Matt and Emily was already and they were sitting around the table eating food. Everyone was talking about Abby and Connor's baby news, it had set the ARC into baby fever and people kept giving Abby and Connor their congratulations.
Would people be this nice to me when I announce my pregnancy? Abby kept looking over at me and smiling but always looked away quickly before anyone noticed "That will be us soon" Becker whispered to me and put his hand on my knee.
"I know it will" I whispered back and we kissed lightly.
Becker's POV
Everyone had been giving Abby and Connor their congratulations all day and I was slightly envious of them because Connor said that they wasn't even trying to have a baby it was just a happy accident and yet me and Jess had been trying for the past three months and nothing had happened yet, I know it wasn't going to happen straight away but with the amount of time we had sex a day I was beginning to think that maybe there might be something wrong with one of us.
When me and Jess got home that evening I suddenly didn't feel in the mood for going out for dinner tonight, I was just in a bad mood because of all the baby stuff with Abby and Connor. Jess said she was popping out and would be back in about half an hour or so. I decided to make dinner for us as a nice surprise for her when she gets back, I wanted to speak to her about all this baby stuff to see what she thinks, maybe she thinks there was something wrong... She did say she wanted to go out to dinner to talk about the baby stuff.
Jess got back just as I was putting dinner on the table for us, she kissed "What's going on? I thought we were going out for dinner?" She questioned.
"I just wasn't in the mood for going out, I wanted to talk to you about something that I don't really want to say in public" I answered.
"Oh OK" She said and we sat down at the table "What is it you wanted to talk about?" She asked.
"Well the thing is... I know we've only been trying for a baby for three months but the thing is, we have sex a lot and I'm starting to worry that there maybe something wrong with one of us. Maybe my swimmers aren't as strong as I thought or maybe you're body isn't ready to hold a baby... I think maybe we need to go and see a doctor or something" I explained to her.
"Actually Becker I have something to tell you" She smiled wide and reached into her bag and placed something white in front of me. I picked it up and seen a baby's bib saying 'Daddy loves me' on it. I looked at Jess in shock and she nodded "Becker I'm pregnant" She stated.
"You serious?" I asked and she nodded "We're going to have a baby?!" I asked as it hadn't sunk in yet.
"Yes... I'm pregnant!" She exclaimed and we both jumped out of our seats and hugged each other. When we pulled away from the hug I seen that Jess was crying "I can't believe it" She said and kissed me.
I can't believe that Jess is pregnant! Jess was going to be having our baby! She was going to be the mother of my baby! I'm in such shock that we were finally going to be having the baby that we wanted, this was the best day of my life so far but only so far, the day the baby is born is going to be the best day of my life when that day actually arrives but until then this was it.
Dinner was forgotten about as me and Jess decided to take things to the bedroom to celebrate, when we were done me and Jess laid there together with my hand on her stomach not that there was anything there to let anyone know there was a baby there but still I knew it was there.
We had decided that before we told anyone about it that we would go to the doctors get it confirmed, see how far along she was and make sure that both baby and Jess were OK. She had told me that she had told Abby about the baby and that was fine but I didn't want the whole ARC finding out before we were ready to tell them. It was so surreal that Jess was actually pregnant with my baby and we were going to be parents.
The second I laid eyes on Jess that day at the ARC I thought she was this young woman who had just finished university and thought she knew everything, which turned out that she did know everything, it took me a couple of weeks to actually get to know her and it was then that I discovered that I had a crush on her and it wasn't until the day that she came and saved my life from the bomb that I realised I didn't fancy her... I loved her.
When I woke up the next morning I looked over at Jess who was still asleep, she was on her side with her head on my cheat and her arm flung around my stomach. She looked so peaceful when she slept and if. I didn't have to get up for work then I would just stare at her all day but I did have to go to work and it was Jess' day off so I carefully and quietly got out of bed making sure not to disturb her and went into the shower, I was the happiest man in the world today.
I was going to be a dad.
This is the end of this story... For now. There will be a sequel but I have a couple of stories to upload on here first.
