I do not own Hey Arnold

Chapter 8

Once Helga was out the door, the words that Helga left him were replaying over in his head "I hope you love me, the way I love you." Arnold knew that he loved Helga but was it on the level where Helga's love she has for him is at. He looked around their house and notice how depressing, dusty and not lived-in. A house should be warm, happy and lived in, so he grab cleaning gloves and started taking their house.

Helga walks in Olga home; right off the bat the small of pork chops, mash potatoes, buttered corn and carrots filled the room. The smells made her mouth water, she hung her jacket and made her way to the dining room; Olga was putting the food on the table.

"Hey"

"Baby sister right in time, you starving?" asked Olga

"Heck yea." Said Helga

"Well I can imagine, you are eating for two now."

"Yup, need help setting up?"

"No just get cleaned up, EVERYBODY DINNER READY!."

Once dinner was over Helga took dishes duty and Olga took drying and put away duty.

"How was it?" asked Olga

"The dinner was just fine, the mash should be …" said Helga

"Helga you know what I am asking about." Scolded Olga

"It was hard at first it was so awkward I wanted to slap him, kick him, punch him and scream at him but I calm down due to the fact I am pregnant and stress it not good for the baby. So he told me he wants to work on our marriage and I said to him it will take a lot of work; so I am not planning to move back in the house just yet."

"Well that good you let him know and what did he says about the baby?"

"Well he was shocked at first but he wants to be updated on everything he will be joining me on Monday at the doctor to find out how everything."

"That good I am glad he opening up his eyes…Oh I forgot to tell you Hank, the kids and I were doing down the lake this week before the kids return to school but if you don't want me to go, you can say so."

"No Olga go spend time with your family I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" asked Olga

"Yes I'll be fine I promise and I have to work on my book any way Friday I have to meet with the editor."

"Okay well I guess we leave in the morning."

Once the dishes were done Helga helped Olga with the kids to bed, and went to bed herself.

Monday 4:35 pm

Helga day was crazy she had to help Olga make breakfast and pack the car. After they left she clean the house since the morning rush left the house as a tornado hit it. After two hours of cleaning she made lunch pastrami with jelly and banana sandwich (she having weird craving). Then took at quick cat nap, around two she woke up took a shower and headed to the doctor at four. And now she reading a magazine, she notice that someone took the seat next to her and smelled like the ocean breeze axe knowing the one person that wears that.

"Wow you are early." Helga said sarcastically

"Well I told Mr. Gomez the situation he was happy, congrats us and he said whatever I need day or leave early he would not mind that at all. "

"Tell him I said thanks."

"I will…how you feeling?"

"hhmmmm I was throwing up all morning, than took a quick shower, took a quick nap and now I am here."

"I wish I was there to help you."

"Right"

"No I am serious Helga, I wish I was there look I know there a lot going on so I am asking you if you need me anytime and anywhere call me I will be there."

"Okay Arnold I will consider it."

"Ms. Shortman we are ready for you." Called out the Nurse.

"You put Shortman as your last name?"

"Well yea I am still married to you but that can change if you want it to be." Just saying those words stung both of the blondes since they both wanted the last name to stay.

"Okay Ms. Shortman play remove your bottoms pants and underwear and put on the gown and the doctor will be out in a moment."Said the Nurse.

"Okay thanks, Arnold can you turn around?"

"What why? It's not like I haven't seen you before Helga."

"Well right now you aren't going to see it for a long time so turn around."

*sigh* Arnold turns around

"Okay I am ready." Called out Helga

Arnold turns around and sees Helga sitting on the bed so he took the chair next to her and took a seat. After five quiet minutes the doctor finally shows up.

"Hello sorry for taking so long but I am Dr. Larry I will be your doctor and I will be the one to deliver your baby as well before we take a look I will need to ask some questions. Is that okay?"

"Yes Doc. Ask away."

"Okay so your full name is Helga Geraldine Pataki Shortman am I correct?"

"Yes and the guy next to me is the father of my child."

"Yes I figure that, Hello Mr. Shortman how are you?"

"I am good thank you, and what about you?"

"I am fine, okay have you been feeling any symptoms?"

"So far morning sickness and have been sleeping a lot more." Said Helga

" Okay as you go further along some new symptoms might come up or go away." Said DR. Larry

"Oh great."

" And I see moodiness are coming in as well." As the doctor right down on the file. Well how about we check on the little one and see how it doing."

Helga lays back and roll up her shirt the doctor puts the cold gel on her belly. Helga was not happy she was uncomfortable.

" Well its seems you are ending your first trimester so I am guessing the day it was conceive the on the first week of May. It looks healthy but we are going to do a blood test to make sure mommy is healthy and than a test on the baby to see if its normal and that everything is growing properly. Do you guys want a sonogram picture?"

Both mommy and daddy to be just nodded yes since they were both mesmerized at the image in front of them. They could not believe they created something so beautiful and just to think six months from now its will be here. They were pulled away from the screen when the doctor turn on the lights.

"Okay Helga at this rate your due date most likely be February second. And here your folder now before I go do you have any questions for me?" asked the Doctor

"Yea uhmis there anything we can do to prepare for this?" Asked Arnold

"Oh the common questions from new parents, to answer the question yes in this folder I have given you pamphlet on what classes to take, books and even ways to make this pregnancy easier for the both of you. Is that all?"

"Yes when is my next appointment?" asked Helga

"In two weeks since I want you to start on your prenatal and once the two weeks are over come back for your blood test we will have to monitor you Helga since your pressure is a little high so please be careful try not to stress and eat healthy food okay."

"Thanks Doc. and don't worry I will be fine."

"Okay well you two have a nice day, oh congratulations on your baby."

As soon the doctor left the room was silent once again so many thought were running through the couple mind but the one questions they both had was (Will this work)

"Uhm I am going to let you change while I go pay the bill oaky." Said Arnold

All Helga could do is nod; Arnold left the room Helga was nervous she was not sure if she was ready for a baby it would change everything for them. All she could think if she was going to raise the baby alone. Helga finish getting dress and walk out the room seeing Arnold waiting for her.

"Hey you ready to go?" Asked Arnold

"Yea do you have the next appointment?"

" Yea September fifth teen at four is that okay?"

"Yes well uhm I guess we part from here."

"Well I was wondering if you were hungry and wanted something to eat?"

"Arnold I know you want to work on this but you need to take it slow okay look I am happy you came today but today is enough ."

"How about tomorrow?" Asked Arnold

"Arnold tomorrow Tuesday you have your weekly meetings with Mr. Gonzalez and the board." Said Helga

"But I'll try to get out of it."

"No plus I have to work on my book, I will call you so we can meet and talk." Said Helga

"okay" Helga saw the pain in his eyes she wanted to hug him but she had to be strong she wanted to know if he really love her.

Later that night 9 pm

After coming home from the doctor Helga warm up the leftovers, took a shower, and a nap. She picks up her phone and call the one person who understand s her.

"Hello"

"Hey Gerald is Phoebe home?" Asked Helga

"Yes she said give her a minute she changing into comfort clothes."

"That fine."

"How was the doctor?" Asked Gerald

"Good apparently by next week I will be four months pregnant and moodier as ever."

"Haha well that's good, did they give you something?"

"Yes the doctor gave me prenatal but he forgot to mention that the pills are huge and hard to swallow." Said Helga

"Well that's tough and here the little lady well see you soon Helga and Hang in there."

"okay Gerald see you soon."

"Hello Helga"

"Hey Phoebe"

The other side of the Johnson house Gerald on the cell

"Hey man how are you?"

" Hey Gerald I am mixed emotions."

"I can imagine you went to the doctor with Helga today how was it?"

"Gerald it was amazing and scary at the same time, I was happy seeing this little person on the screen all I can think about was wow me and Helga created this and yet I am scared cause what gonna happen with me and Helga? Are we going to stay together or will we be forever apart."

"Arnold man I can imagine what you are going through."

"Gerald I love Helga with all my heart and if I lose her I might lose a part of me that keep me alive. I need to fix this; I have to show her I love her and what she means to me."

"How are you going to do that?" Asked Gerald

"I do not know yet but I will think of something. Look I got to go I have a meeting in the morning so I will call you later."

"Sure man have a nice night."

Back to Helga and Phoebe

"How was the doctor?" asked Phoebe

"It was all kinds of emotions." Said Helga

" Really? Why is that?"

"Well when Arnold came I was shocked that he showed up but happy at the same time. It showed me that he was serious on working on our marriage."

"That good Helga that what you wanted am I right?" said Phoebe

"Yes but at the same time I thought maybe he was playing me so I am not sure yet and when they showed the baby on the screen I fell in love with it and all I wanted to do to protect it from all the danger and hurt from the world." Said Helga

"That's the mommy in you." Said Phoebe

"I guess and then I got upset I started think what if our marriage can't be saved, what if I have to raise this baby alone."

"Helga everything will work out just have to give it time and work on it together." Said Phoebe

"Thank Pheebs well I am off to bed, the little one is getting me tired."

"Okay night Helga I love you."

"Love you too."
