Chapter Seven

Rita's p.o.v

I'm having my first scan today which was meant to be next week but I managed to get it re-arranged because Michael leaves for college again tomorrow and I didn't want him to miss it because he might not be here for the second one. It's going to be hard being on my own while he's away, it's almost 5 months that I'm not going to have him for, I know they'll be holidays in that time but sometimes there's no point coming back for a week, it's a five hour drive and sometimes he's got way too much work to do and he see's no point in driving down just to be stuck in his room doing his work and he wont actually see anyone. I get what he means though, there's no point in driving home just to do what he would do at college. Taylor did say that she would drive me up to see him if he can't make it here, even if it's only for a couple of hours, it's better than nothing!

The second I woke up this morning I had to run into the bathroom to be sick. I hate it, I spend most of my time throwing up and eating foods that I don't actually like but feel the need to eat. It was only 6:30 am when I woke up, so I tried to get some more sleep but I couldn't. That's always been the case, once I'm up, I'm up. So I tried to get some of my homework done until it was a decent time for me to make some breakfast. I don't have a cooked breakfast during the week because I don't have time so if I start work late I like to cook something, but I don't have work today so it doesn't matter.

I was making breakfast for the both of us when I felt Michael wrap his arms around my waist and put his hands on my stomach.

"Morning baby" he said, in his sexy morning voice, before gently kissing my neck. I giggled slightly as his stubble tickled my neck.

"Morning Mikey" I said, leaning my head back into his chest.

"I wasn't talking to you" he said, rubbing my stomach.

"Rude"

"Kidding! You ready for later?"

"Not really" I mumbled.

"How come?" he asked, one of his hands playing with my hand and the other was still on my stomach.

"Because, seeing it is going to make it true and I'd be okay with that if you weren't leaving tomorrow. I don't want to do this on my own" I said, starting to cry again. My hormones have been all over the place lately and I can't control them. I find myself crying at everything else days.

"Hey don't cry baby!" he said, wrapping his arms around me and rubbed my back as I berried my head in his chest. "I'm not going to be gone for long. The time will fly by I promise and before we know it we will have this beautiful baby boy or girl. Okay?"

~~~

We were sat in the waiting room. I was picking at my nails nervously.

Michael looked over at me and smiled. "It's okay to be fine babe, don't worry about it" he said, rubbing my arm, in an effort to calm me down.

I nodded and gave him a small smile. My name was called and we made our way into a room filled with different medical equipment. I laid down on the bed and lifted my shirt up as I was told to. She put this really cold gel on my stomach and I flinched a little. I think Michael noticed because I heard him chuckle. I looked over at the screen to see a little baby. I'm not far enough a long to find out the gender and Michael's going to be away when I'd be able to find out and I don't want to do it without him.

We got 4 scan photo's printed off so that my parents could have one, I can have one and Michael can have one for while he's away. We haven't told his parents yet but Michael's told them that he has a present for them, so when he goes over later he's going to give them the photo in and envelope and tell them that way.

When we got back outside I grabbed hold of Michael's arm to stop him from walking any further. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. This is going to be the last time I see him before he goes back to college, which is why he's been staying at mine all week.

"What's wrong baby?" he asked, moving some of my hair out of my face.

"Thank you" I whispered, just loud enough for him to hear.

"For what?"

"I know all of this was an accident but in a way I'm kind of glad it happened. I'm really exited now. Actually seeing the baby on the screen has made me really excited"

"I'm exited too! I never really thought I'd settle down and have a kid as I'm too immature but I've got that chance with you"

"Michael you're only 20, you don't know that you wouldn't get the chance to settle down with someone"

"I'd still rather be with you"

He really is cute when he wants to be.
