Feeling Ill
Your face hit the pillow. This lasting sickness hanging onto every inch of you. Your body ached and you were tired to no avail. You didn’t want to do anything other then crawl into this bed and never resurface. With the blankets pulled over your head, you could hear movement around the room. You shifted the blankets just enough to be able to peak out. You saw Alex quietly going through the dresser. You watched as he picked himself out an outfit. You furrowed your eyebrows at him. He quietly walked out of the room. You wondered what he was up to.
You must have fallen asleep for a little as you noticed that the sun was higher in the sky. As you sat up your head started to pound. You looked around the room and noticed that Alex was sitting in a chair staring at you. The headache was putting you in a bad mood. “What the hell are you looking at?” You mumbled grumpy from the pain. “Someone’s in a bad mood.” Alex spoke softly. You rolled your eyes at him. You got up and went to the bathroom. When you walked back into the room you discovered that Alex had picked out an outfit for you to wear. “Where the hell do you think I’m going.” You turned to him. “Out with me. The fresh air will make you feel better.” He said calmly. You stared at the clothes for a minute before grabbing them. You walked over to the dresser and tossed the clothes back in, before making your way back to the bed. Alex let out a sigh. “I’m not going anywhere Alex. You know that I’m not feeling well. I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to sleep.” You watched as his face gave a look of impatience. “Honestly y/n you can’t just stay in bed all day for the rest of your life. The fresh air might help. Just get up, get dressed and we’ll go get something to eat.” You could hear the tone of his voice become a little stern. “ you rolled over, turning your back to him. “You want to go out so bad, then go by yourself. I’m not leaving this bed. Just leave me alone Alex.” The attitude was flowing through your words. “Fine” he spoke with a hint of anger in his voice. You watched as he walked out of the room. Shaking his head.
You went back to sleep. You woke very suddenly to see the sky had darkened. You sent a text to Alex. *hey babe are you here?*. You sat there waiting for a response. The house was still. There was no response from him. You got up out of the bed and walked out of the room. You called for him. No response. You decided to text him again. *Alex where are you?* you watched as the message sent. You walked down the stairs slowly. Your body still felt tired. You still hadn’t received a response. You decided to text him one last time. *alex seriously where are you? Are you ok?*. You walked into the kitchen. You grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and went to sit on the couch. More time had passed but still no response. You decided to call him. You headed as the phone rang. Multiple rings and no pick up. You listened to his soft voice on his answering machine before hanging up. You shook your head in annoyance, but you understood where he was coming from. You had been a complete bitch earlier for no reason to him and he didn’t deserve that. You checked your phone and noticed that it was roughly 7:30 pm.
You turned the tv on since you had nothing left to do. You stared blankly at the show. You were to worried about Alex and what he was up to. It seemed like forever but you heard the front door open. Alex walked to the living room where heard the tv playing. You watched as he smiled at you. You gave him a small smile back. He was carrying a bag of food and a Walmart bag. “Here you go baby girl I got you some food and a small thing that I want you to do.” He sat the food down in front of you and the Walmart bag. He sat beside you, pulling out the different food items from the bag. Chinese food your favourite. You reached into the Walmart bag and pulled out the lone item that was in it. You pulled out a pregnancy test. Alex watched your face change as you turned over the box in your hands. Staring down at the test you realized that you couldn’t remember your last period. “I just figured that you should take a test and make sure we know what’s going on” Alex said as he squeezed your knee. You got up and went to the bathroom.
You took the test and left it in the bathroom. You walked back after washing your hands and proceeded to eat your dinner. After the two of you cleaned up you went back to the bathroom and grabbed the test without looking at it. Alex was sitting watching tv. You walked over to him and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around you. It was time to look at the test. You looked down at the test to see that it was positive. You glanced over at Alex’s face. He was shocked. He mouth was slightly gaped. “Oh my god. Y/n we’re going to have a baby.” His face grew wide with a smile. You couldn’t help but smile. You leaned in and kissed him.
The next morning you scheduled a doctor appointment. They were pretty good and were able to get you in that afternoon. You and Alex were waiting in the doctor’s office. “So tonight we’ll tell everyone after we get an ultrasound picture.” Alex was excited you could hear it in his voice as he talked. You nodded at him. “Whatever you want baby.” You heard the nurse call your name. You got up and Alex trailed your steps. The nurse asked you the basic questions. You told her that you estimated that your last period, was almost 3 months ago. The nurse left. Alex was sitting in the corner smiling like a goof. You couldn’t help but laugh at the look on his face. The doctor walked in. He was pushing the ultrasound machine into the room. He asked you the same questions the nurse did. He then asked you to lift your shirt. You rolled it up and watched as the doctor poured the cool gel across your belly. He pressed slightly firm with the sonogram machine. He started to move slowly then stopped. He turned the screen so you and Alex could see. You could hear Alex mumble. “Holy shit that’s a baby”. You smiled at his comment. You squeezed his hand and smiled. “Your looking to be around 4 months judging from the side of the fetus.” The doctor said as he wrote notes in your file. “Would the two of you like to know the gender of the baby?” He asked. You looked at Alex and he nodded. “Yes” you said confidently. The doctor began to move the machine again. “It’s a boy” he said. Alex let out a sound of excitement. You were in shock. You were going to have a baby boy. The doctor printed your sonogram photos.
You both left the office. Alex was in contact with his band mates and then both of your parents. You had stopped off at the grocery store to pick up a couple items. You grabbed blue balloons, a blue stuffed animal, and a cake that says it’s a boy. You were looking for Alex through the whole store you couldn’t find him. You walked into the baby section and noticed him with an armful of newborn boy clothes. You couldn’t help but smile at the warm site. You slowly pushed the cart up behind him making sure not to scare him. You walked up behind him and wrapped your arms around him. He turned and kissed your fore head. “We gonna go check out or did you want to get some more stuff.” You asked him. “We have to get a crib and stroller and car seat.” Alex spoke with excitement in his tone and smile on his face. “Lead the way then papa” You let out a laugh. He grabbed the cart and started pushing towards the cribs and strollers. The two of you spent a good two hours picking out things for the baby. Alex loaded everything into the car. The stroller, car seat and crib as well as the clothes and other items. You stopped to grab a couple pizzas.
When you got home you literally had 20 minutes before the everyone was going to arrive. You quickly set up the balloons, pizza and the stuffed animal in the centre. You heard a knock on the door. You walked to answer the door. Everyone had arrived at the same time. You welcomed everyone in. You hugged all the band mates. First Lyndsey, the Brian and of course you couldn’t forget Justin. You saw your parents walk in and you hugged both of them. Alex’s parents walked in and you greeted them as he hugged them. Everyone was talking and enjoying the small party. “So we have a cake I’m just going to go grab it.” You said as everyone finished eating. You grabbed the cake and the sonogram photos. You placed the cake on the table where everyone could read it. Their faces each showed a confused expression. You gently set the sonogram photos onto the table beside the cake. Lyndsey was the first to let out a gasp. Shortly after everyone realized what was going on. The congratulations began to roll in. The hugging didn’t stop for the rest of the night.
