My Best Friends Brother

I turn it over and see a plus sign.

I turn to Asher.

"I'm Pregnant. All of them say pregnant"

Asher wraps his arms around me, "We're going to have a baby!"

I let out a small laugh, "We are"

Asher pulls away slightly and kisses me.

I kiss back. 

A baby!

Crazy.

"We should call the doctor, so we can get an appointment in soon."

He nods and hands me my phone.

I call the doctor's office and I made an appointment. 

They had a cancellation so we could get in today.

"The appointment is at 3:00"

He nods. "Okay, well it's only 10 so we have a little bit. Do you want to tell Rachel now?"

I shake my head. "No, I want to get checked out first. SO that I know how far along. And this way I can give her the ultrasound picture and see how crazy she gets"

He chuckles and shakes his head. "Okay"

It was 2:30, Asher and I were getting ready to leave.

I put some jeans and one of Asher's shirts on as well as shoes, then I walk out into the living room where Asher is.

"Ready to go Babe?"

He nods and stands up.

"Where are you going?"

I turn to Rachel, "We are going to the doctor. I'm still not feeling well, so Asher decided to bring me to the doctor"

She nods, "Okay, well I hope it's not anything serious"

I nod and was laughing on the inside. I can see Asher doing the same thing.

We leave the house and get in the car.

Asher drives us to the doctor's office and we walk in.

I walk up to the receptionist and tell her my name.

"Okay, well fill out these," she hands me a clipboard with a couple of pieces of paper," then take a seat until a nurse calls for you"

She smiles at me.

"Thank you"

I took a seat on one of the chairs with Asher next to me.

I filled out the papers and gave them to the receptionist.

I took my seat again, waiting for the nurse.

About 10 minutes later my name gets called.

I stand up with Asher following me.

The nurse walks us back to a room, and takes my weight and height, and asks a few questions before leaving the room, telling us the doctor would be with us soon.

Asher and I started talking about the baby.

"What do you want? Boy or Girl?"

I look at Asher, "I want a girl, but I also want a boy, so that I can have a mini you"

He smiles, "I want a baby girl. A baby that looks just like you"

I smile at his words.

After a couple of minutes, the doctor knocks on the door and enters the room.

"Hello, My name is Doctor Emily Richards."

She holds her hand out, "I'm Daisy Anne Niman and this is my boyfriend Asher Mathews"

She smiles as we shake hands. She shakes Asher's hand too. 

"Now, you're pregnant?"

I nod, "I took five pregnancies tests and they came out positive, so I am pregnant. I am just not sure how far along."

She nods, "Okay, well let's do an ultrasound and find out"

I smile and nod "Okay"

She gets the machine out and I lay back. 

"Can you pull your shirt up to right under your breasts"

I nod and do as she says.

She rubs the cold stuff on my stomach and uses the ultrasound transducer to find the baby.

She moves it around for a couple of minutes.

"Aha! Here it is. The baby was hiding. Okay it looks like you are about 11 weeks". She turns the screen to me.

I smile. I was seeing my baby!

"Do you want to hear the heartbeat?"

Asher and I both nod.

Asher looks like he was close to tears. 

Heck, I already was crying.

"BeepBeepBeep"

I gasp, My baby's heartbeat.

I was in love.

Asher grabs my hand and squeezes it slightly.

"Do you have any questions?"

"I can't think of anything at the moment. Can I have a couple of pictures though?"

She nods, "Absolutely!"

She does something and some pictures get printed out.

She hands them to me and I look at them.

Wow.

Doctor Richards wipes the goop off of my stomach and I pull my shirt down and sit up.

"Here is my number. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call"

She hands me her card, with her number.

I take it, "Thank you"

She smiles and waves goodbye.

Asher helps me up and we leave.

Getting in the car, I look at the pictures again.

It's weird to think that I have a baby in my stomach.

In the next couple of months, my stomach is going to get big.

"How you doing, beautiful?"

I look at Asher. "I'm happy. So happy"

He smiles. "Well, I am glad beautiful. I am happy too"

As Asher drives us home, I prepare for telling Rachel. Who I know is going to scream in excitement.
