Come Closer

All the colour in James’ went away and he put his head down waiting for me to hang up the phone. I talked on the phone for about 5 minutes before I hung up.

I walked around to the other side of the island hugged him and whispered in his ear…

“I’m pregnant.”

He didn’t even say anything just picked me up and put me on the counter and kissed me hard.

“We can have sex now.” I said.

“Oh thank god!” he said smiling at me.

He quickly picked me up and took me upstairs.

Having sex with James was different this time, usually the sex we have is a little rough and really hot, but this time it was soft and gentle.

“Omg.” I sat up.

“What?” James said pulling out “What’s wrong?”

“Omg...”

I got up and ran to the bathroom…the pregnancy sickness finally hit me.

“Meg, everything ok?” he said walking in.

“Your child is really hating me.” I said laying on the bathroom floor. “Do you know how long and hard it was to make you?” I pointed at my stomach.

“You’re going to be the cutest little pregnant lady.” James said sitting down beside me.

“So your happy about this right?” I asked getting off the floor and going back to bed.

“Of course I’m happy, what made you think I wasn’t?”

“I don’t know, you haven’t really said anything since the phone call.”

“We have been a little busy for the last few hours. I’m so happy we are having a baby” he said getting in beside me. “What do you want?”

“What?” I asked confused.

“What do you want? A boy or a girl?” he said.

“Hmm…I don’t know. I would love to have both.” I said crawling into his arms. “What do you want?”

“A girl.” He said, I could tell there was a smile on his face.

“Really?” I said surprised. “No future NHLrs?”

“It has always been my dream to be surrounded by beautiful women.” She said as he kissed me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
James and I spent the rest of the day in bed, and I spent the night in the bathroom, so far I hate this whole pregnancy thing and I really hope I don’t have to deal with the sickness for the next 9 months.

The next morning I couldn’t contain my excitement anymore, I had to phone Khloe and tell her the great news.

“Jesus, I was texting you all yesterday and you never replied.” She said.

“I’m pregnant.” I said really quietly.

She screamed Oh.My.God.

“And I am deaf.” I said laughing.

“When did you find out!” she said.

“I got blood work yesterday morning and found out later that afternoon.”

“This is so exciting, Auntie Khloe… has a nice ring to it.”

Just before I could say anything else I heard a man’s voice in the background.

“Who is at your house?” I said still kinda laughing.

“Oh…it’s no one, just my plumber.” She went from really excited to sounding really nervous.

“Brad’s there isn’t he.” I said very monotone.

“Meghan he’s changed.”

“Khloe, why are you doing this? After what he did to you…”

“What he did to me? Meghan I’m sorry but do you know how many times when you were with Brayden that I kept my mouth shut.” Her voice was getting louder.

“Kept your mouth shut about what?”

“I had an affair with Brayden, ok there, I said it.”

There was complete silence.

“Meghan, I’m sorry.”

“I have to go.”

I hung up the phone without saying good-bye and suddenly felt sick again. I couldn’t make it up the stairs so I threw up in the kitchen sink.

I was standing over the sink when James came downstairs from having a shower.

“Hey, you ok?” he said rubbing my back.

“No.” I said turning around hugging him.

“What’s wrong?” He lifted my chin to look at him.

“I was just on the phone with Khloe, told her I was pregnant and I found out that she was with Brad again, it got a little heated and she told me that she had an affair with Brayden.” I said.

“What the fuck.”

“Honestly, I’m not even upset about it…just more hurt than anything.” I let go of him and stepped back. “How could she do that to me, she is my best friend.”

I heard my phone ring, I went and grabbed it and looked at the caller id. It was Khloe.

“I’m not going to answer her, not when I’m fired up like this.” I said hitting decline. “I’m too happy right now, I’m not going to let her ruin my good mood and you know what she is jealous of me.” I started pacing around the kitchen. “I have everything I have ever wanted, I have a man who loves me and I’m carrying his child…she just wants what I have.”

“Why didn’t she tell you sooner, it was like 3 years ago when you and Brayden separated.” He said.

“I have never kept a secret from her and she has been holding this from me for almost 3 years, James that’s the part that hurts the most.”

“So what are you going to do now?” he asked, jumping and sitting on the counter.

“I have no idea, I don’t feel like talking to her right now, maybe in a few days but not right now.”

“You’re here in Pittsburgh now; she is not your problem. Honestly Meghan, do you really want to lose your friendship with her over something that happened 3 years ago.”

“Yeah I suppose, it just stings.” I walked past him to the fridge when he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. “I just don’t feel like talking to her.”

“You don’t need to be worrying about something 6 hours away.” He said. “You need to worry about taking care of yourself and our baby.” He said.
----------------------------------------------------
After spending the last few days telling our families about the pregnancy and not talking to Khloe I decided I was going have to talk to her about the affair sometime. So I sat at the kitchen island with a bowl of ice cream and dialed her number. She picked up on the first ring.

“I thought you never would want to speak to me again?” she said.

“That really tore me up…what you said.”

“Meg, I am so sorry for what I did. I never wanted to hurt you. I wasn’t even going to even tell you until things got heated between us and it just slipped out.”

“The thing that hurt me the most was not that you had an affair, but that you kept a secret like that from me, and I have never kept a secret from you.” I said tearing up. “I forgive you for what you did but I will never forget.”

“You’re my best friend Meghan, I don’t know what I would have done without you in my life.”
“I know, I couldn’t live without you either, 20 years we have been best friends and I’m not going to let something that happened 3 years ago ruin our friendship.” I said.

“How’s the baby?” she asked quickly changing the subject.

“I pretty much feel like death all the time, try coaching a volleyball team feeling sick all the time…not called morning sickness, it’s called all day sickness.”
“Well…it will all be worth it in the end!”
---------------------------------------
It’s been 6 weeks since we got the big news and it was time for my first ultrasound, James made sure he was going to be home, there was no way he was missing this.

“Congrats Meghan.” The nurse said as she walked into the room.

“Thanks, we are very excited.” I said looking at James.

She lifted my shirt and saw that I was showing a little already.

“Wow, your showing already. This is happening fast, this is going to be a little cold.” She put the gel on my stomach and started the machine.

That gel was not cold, it was freezing.

I could hear the heart beat and it was so sure real, I have been through so much over the past few months and I couldn’t be happier with everything in my life.

“Omg…” the nurse said stopping.

“What?” James said sounding not only nervous, but scared.

“There are two heartbeats, Ms. Fuller you are pregnant with twins.” She was smiling.

I quickly looked over at James and saw the biggest smile on his face and I was speech less. The nurse pulled the machine closer to me, and sure enough there were two very small babies inside of me and I heard two heartbeats.

“Both of them look perfectly healthy, and you are progressing nicely. Congratulations Meghan and James.” She went out of the room to get the picture from the ultrasound.

“Holy fuck…” I said to James as he got up and kissed me.

“We are going to be parents of twins, this is amazing.” He sat back down and soaked everything in.

The nurse came back in, handed me the picture, wiped the gel on my stomach, informed me on how to take care of myself and the babies and sent us on our way.

“Now what?” I said to James as we got back into the car.

“We better start preparing for two.”

“I am going to be huge.”

“Of course you will be, your carrying two babies. I’m just glad they’re not identical, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.”

Since the babies aren’t from the same egg, they will not be identical.

“I’m very happy with you Meghan, you and our two kids.”
