“Baby? You okay?” Connor asks waking you up from your nap on your bathroom floor.
Shit. What time was it? No way Connor was already off his night shift.
“Hi! yes, i’m perfectly fine.” You say hastily and tired with an unconvincing smile. You were sick. You’ve been puking since early morning, unable to stay away from the toilet for 5 minutes. Ever since last night everything you ate came right back up. You were pretty sure you had food poisoning due to the take out Chinese you had, but you weren’t going to make any assumptions until you went to the clinic today.
“Okay…what are you doing then?” He asks with a furrowed brow now kneeling next to you brushing some hairs away from your face.
Sighing you decide to just tell him the truth. You hated telling Connor you were sick because he always treated you like you were one of his patients, but you couldn’t hide this from him.
“I’m sick.” You say starting to tear up. Why? You didn’t know, you just knew that you didn’t want to disappoint him.
“Hey, hey, you’re okay.” He says now sitting and pulling you to lay in his chest. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He asks a little softer now.
“I-I just feel bad!” You say now sobbing into his chest making his heart hurt a little.
“Well, why?” He asks in the same soft tone brushing your hair with his hand. Completely confused also, you hated crying but you were now sobbing over being sick. Something must be wrong.
“B-because you just got off shift from the hospital, and last night I got take out Chinese that made me sick.” You manage to say through broken sobs which took him a few seconds to understand.
“You feel bad because I just got off work, and you had Chinese food last night?” He asks confused.
“Yes! But no!” Taking a deep breath you sit up to look Connor in the eye collecting your thoughts.
“I feel bad, because you just got off shift, and we might have to go back to the clinic because I’m pretty sure I have food poisoning from the food I had last night. I’ve just been so sick all morning.”
“Oh baby. Don’t feel bad, if you’re sick we can go to the clinic. It’s not like I’ll be working when I’m there. Here how about you take a shower, I’ll make you some toast and we can go to the doctor? Sound good?”
“Yes.” You say sniffling and standing up. Connor also stands giving you a hug and kiss on your forehead. You don’t know what you would do without him.
Once you got out of the shower you noticed you felt a lot better, but it’s better to go to the doctor and make sure everything is okay anyway.
You put on a pair of joggers and one of Connor’s sweatshirts that you basically drowned in but you couldn’t care less. Your whole body was achy, especially your boobs and you didn’t want a form fitting shirt.
“Ready to go?” Connor asks you once you’ve finished breakfast.
“Yeah, but I feel a lot better now. That shower really helped.” You say getting up from your spot and yawning.
“That’s good. Let’s just go to the clinic anyway and make sure everything is okay.”
Once you got to the hospital you immediately started to feel uneasy again. Your stomach really started fluttering and you didn’t know why. Probably just cramps signaling your period is on its way again. Great.
“Good news Y/N, you don’t have the flu or any other virus for that matter. Your blood also came back clean so It could just be a mild case of food poisoning or a 24 hour bug, either way you should be good to go. I also saw that you don’t have a flu shot on file for this year yet so would you want to get that out of the way while you’re here too?” Your doctor asks.
“Yes that’s fine.” You say earning a look from Connor. He’s always bugging you to stay up to date with those things.
“Okay, the nurse will be in shortly to administer the shot. Also do you want to start scheduling your O.B. appointments? I know it’s early but It’s better to be on the schedule with those things instead of coming around last minute.” She asks catching both you and Connor completely off guard.
“O.B. appointments?” You both say in unison.
“Yes. Do you have a preferred Obstetrician?” She asks only making you furrow your brow harder.
“Um, no? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You asked now earning a confused look from her.
“Well I suppose if you guys are planning on using a midwife that’s fine too, but it’s highly recommended that you go to monthly check-ups while you’re pregnant to ensure the baby’s safety. Connor your’re a doctor you should know this.” The doctor says chuckling slightly to herself, but her smile quickly fading when she realizes both of you guys still aren’t catching on.
“The baby…?” You mutter quietly to yourself afraid to look a Connor for his reaction, which is him just standing there white as a ghost.
“Y/n, you do know you’re pregnant right?” She finally asks now making you look at Connor,
“Pregnant?” You say finally looking at him.
Connor runs a hand through his hair as he finally takes a few steps to stand next to you.
“We’re having a baby?” He asks quietly grabbing your hand, then looking at the doctor.
“We’re having a baby?” He asks louder now, unsure if he believes it or not.
“Um, yes. You are. I’m surprised you guys don’t know, Y/N, by your blood work it shows you’re about 12-14 weeks along.” She says a little shocked.
This makes you look at Connor absolutely shocked. To which he is giving you the same face.
“I’ll give you guys some privacy, would you like me to order an ultrasound?” She asks getting no response until Connor finally tears his eyes away from you and nods almost frantically at her.
“Yes. Yes please.” He says as she shuts the door.
Slowly standing up, you walk away from Connor to stand in the middle room putting space between you guys before you turn to him again.
“A baby?” You ask still unsure on whether you believe it or not.
Of course you would want a child with him. You guys were married for Christ’s sake, but you just assumed it was never in the cards for you guys.
Connor closes the space between you guys, cupping your face his in his hands forcing you to look at him.
“What are you feeling right now?” He asks slightly teary eyed, completely unaware if you want this or not. He thought ever since you accepted it wasn’t going to happen, that you might not want this anymore. That you might not want this baby.
“I-I’m shocked.” You whisper feeling like you just got all the air knocked out of you.
“I’m scared.” You finally admit meeting his eyes again.
“Hey, there’s no reason to be scared. We’re in this together. Whatever you want to do, i’m there.” He says reassuringly.
“Do you think I don’t want this?” You ask slightly worried.
“I think we’re both in shock right now. I don’t know what to think…”He admits pursing his lips a little. “What do you want?” He finally asks a little bit afraid of the answer.
“I want a baby.” You finally admit chuckling a little bit. “I want a family. I want a family with you. I want to have mini you’s and me’s running around…I want this.” You say more confidently chuckling a little at Connor’s smile.
“We’re having a baby!” He says excitedly kissing you.
A little while later the doctor comes back with the ultrasound. Your eyes start to swell with tears as you actually heard the heartbeat. It all just became so much more real. You look over to Connor who is so happy. There is no other way to describe the sparkle in his eye. How in love with you he is, and how in love with this baby he already is. You squeeze his hand as you look over to the machine again when your face drops.
Maybe the downside of being a nurse is that you can read an ultrasound machine, because the second you see the picture of your baby you turn to look back at Connor who is making the same face.
“I know it’s a little early, but I can somewhat make out the gender. Would you guys like to know?” You doctor asks looking over at you.
“We know.” You say smiling a little at Connor whose face is almost unreadable.
Connor doesn’t miss a beat before he kisses you more passionately than he ever has before. There was fire behind his lips and that sparked something within you. It’s so real. God you guys are so in love. You cannot wait to bring a baby into this world with him. Giggling against his lips you pull away and rest your foreheads against each other.
You wipe a tear from his eye before you finally whisper, “Its a boy.”
