"We each took one and put the first initial to each of your names on the back. Mine is negative." Kiley said walking to Ryder showing him. "Well that's ok. I know we haven't been together that long. I just wan you to know I would have been happy with either positive or negative. Kiley I am in this for as long as you let me." Ryder said holding her close kissing her deeply making her smile. "We are going to call and get OBGYN appointments to double check to make sure about these answers to by the way. Mine is positive." Niki said looking Jaxon in the eye holding up the test to him. Jaxon with the worlds biggest smile like a kid on Christmas. "We're having a baby?" He asked excitedly. "Well if this is right we are we will have to wait to find out for sure though." She said still having her arms wrapped around his neck. "Mine is negative." Jessie said handing the test to Xavier. "Ugh babe I don't know how to tell you this but this is not negative." Xavier said looking at the other tests. "Yes it is see that faint little minus sign in that big circle there. Negative." Jessie said. "No baby look at the smaller box to make sure the test are working clearly it's blank. The test is inconclusive it didn't work for us, we have no result." Xavier said showing her Niki, Kiley's and her test. "So I guess we have to wait until you go to the doctor. I know your on birth control babe, I know your body has been under stress but didn't the doctor say all the antibiotics could stop the effects of the birth control? And you have been on and off them for a while now right? So there is still a possibility that you could be pregnant." Xavier said as they both have come to that train of thinking at the same time. Both looking at each other not saying anything.
Xavier just rested his head against hers they just stood there breathing taking in the moment of possibilities. "Mine is positive." Lexi said giving hers to Axel who just took it and starred at for a few minutes not saying anything. "So we won't know for sure for sure until we get in to the doctor? Can we go?" Axel asked as he and Jaxon had one or two stray tears falling on their cheeks. "Well you guys come to everything else I don't see this being any different." She said making everyone laugh around them. "I get to be a dad?" HE asked her in a whisper. "Well going by this we get to be parents, you get to be a husband first though. Looks like we got the family we talked about just a little out of the order we thought it'd go." Lexi said holding him closer to her as he choked out a laugh as his head was remained in her neck.
"You had to make them come clean right now? You couldn't have just hid them in drawer until they were ready to tell them more privately? Babe you just stole a very intimate moment away from all of them." Eric said in a little bit of a disapproving voice. "I think you forget we know all of them better than they know themselves and I know that if they were to go to those doctors than my brothers would wan tot be in that room and you know what they have every right to be in there babe. If there is a possibilite of them finding out for the first time than they want to find out there, where they can see and hear that heart beat for the first time if there is a child in there. They deserve that moment just as well as any mother would. You have no idea how long we have been waiting and praying for that moment." Noah said to Eric. "If I had not called you out would you have told them or go to those doctors on your own?" Noah asked the girls around the room. Who just shrugged back they didn't know. "See you don't know what you would do. I know what these guys would want though. They need to be there just the same way as you do for the piece of mind in every way shape and form. Mentally, physically and emotionally. You have no idea what you and anyone lese you bring along means to them. I know you gals might be a little nervous and scared right now, but they will be there for you, stop holding back and just let them. When your in the relationship it's not about you anymore you are in it together. Especially in these types of manners it took both of you to be in this spot. They will be happy. Let them we all love you we will all be here. It's what families do." Noah said wrapping his arm around Eric.
"We're going to be the best uncles ever. We get all the love and all the spoils and than after we hyped them all up we send them back to them to deal with after effects." Eric said laughing. "I love you so much more right now for being so deliciously evil." Noah said kissing him deeply. "Ya ya wait until you guys get one, or better yet have to baby sit." Jaxon said making everyone laugh. After calling and scheduling all the appointments since there was only two of them in town who work in the same building they were actually able to get scheduled for that afternoon. So being as it was only about an hour away they got ready and left. Each of them stayed quiet Noah and Eric told them to meet them at the dinner when they were done and no matter what the news was they would still enjoy a great dinner together.
"I'm sorry you guys didn't get to watch your game. We really didn't mean to throw off you morning there." Jessie said to all the guys around the room. "this is not how I think any of us say this day going but that doesn't mean were not all excited as hell to be here." Axel said speaking for all the guys who nodding along holding the hand of their partners and even kissing the back of it. We can always go back and watch a game babe. This, this is real life happening in front of us there is no way in hell we would want ot miss this no matter what happens once we get behind those doors. You girls are always top priority." Xavier said looking her dead in the eye. She kissed his cheek and just nodded to him. The nurse came out and called all four of them up to go back into the four waiting rooms that had been cleaned and ready for them. They were the last four appointments of the day. Small town and all.
"So what brings you here. Well all of us are late and we all took pregnancy test and mine said no. I just wanted to make sure everything is fine I guess I have never been late in my life." Kiley said laughing a little as she spoke to the doctor. "Ok well thanks to the tests the nurses got off you when you got back in here you are not pregnant, but pop up and let's get an exam done." The older man said to her with a smile. After a few minutes. "You are all done. You are fine. You just seem to be a little on the tired side stressing the body so make sure you put a pad on now and you will start quickly these exams always help that along, but I also want you to rest up. Your just fine. Do you need a refill on the birth control pills?" "Well I'm on my last week so yes I need a refill ordered please." Kiley said. "Ok well I will see you later your all good to go." HE said as he smiled at them and walked out the room.
"So do you feel lie you just dodged a bullet?" Kiley asked as she started to get her clothes back on. "Actually I'm a little disappointed. I don't know where you are exactly on the biological clock but this really got mine going and the more I think about it. The more excited I get just waiting for the day to come. I never felt that way before. Until you. Some point down this road Kiley, I want everything. I want a house, dogs, kids, and I want that all with you. I can wait as long as you need to I know this is all still fresh and new and we aint been together long, but I believe we will get there. Can you just. Can you just let me know right now if you can maybe see some of that too? I don't want to be in this if at any point you think you're going to have one foot out the door. I don't think I can survive being with you if you don't think this will work out down the end. Just tell me if you see any of that as a possibility down the road." Ryder asked for the first time in complete seriousness and vulnerable.
Coming up and wrapping her hands around Ryders neck. "Yes, I can see it. I can see all that with you. There is no rush and we will get there but right now we get to enjoy all this time just us." She said kissing him deeply. "Thank God I seriously just thought I ruined everything with this big ass mouth." Ryder said laughing into her kisses. They got dressed and decided to just meet everyone else at the Dinner and gave each other a few minutes alone before they were surrounded by everyone else.
"So I got your blood test and Urine test. You are pregnant. So I'm just going to go ahead and do an exam and than we will get you on the ultra sound machine and see what we are measuring out at and all that other fun stuff." The exam always being uncomfortable and invasive. "Ok all looks well and fine. Let's get on to the fun part." HE said looking at Axel and Lexi. Axel staying by her side the whole time never letting go of her hand. "This is going t be a little cold it's not warmed up." HE said as he put the gel on her tummy and lower abdomen. "Ok so there is one baby for sure. Looking about eight weeks along. So looking at the calenda over there you are tow months today exactly and should be due along the lines of July seven months from now give or take two weeks. Now here's the best part." The older man said as he pushed a button on the machine. Axel already in some small tears had his heart skip a beat when he heard the rapid beating surrounding the room. "That sounds so fast." Axel said. "That is incredible." Lexi said being completely lost in the moment with a big smile starring at their baby on the screen. "So here are you pictures for you to take with you an dI will see you again in four weeks for your next check up.Usually about the fifteenth to twentieth weeks we can tell the genders. You need to make sure to eat healthy and exercise don't stress your self out especially mentally at work Lex, your baby will go through the same emotions you do, mentally stress is just as harmful as falling down stairs. Do you have any questions for me?" "No not right, Axel do you?" "No not yet I probably will later if I do I will just write them down or something so I don't forget to ask next time." "Ok than we're all done go ahead and get dressed and see you in four weeks congratulations." He said as he walked out.
"Based on all your test and the exam you are definitely pregnant Niki. I am going to be putting this gel on your tummy don't worry though I did warm it up." The other older man said. "Ok. Oh that feels so weird a little gross." "As a hair stylist I have no doubt in my mind that you have felt worse." The doctor said making them all laugh. "Well it definitely doesn't smell half as bad. Making them all laugh harder. "Girl I don't even want to know. Ok so it seems we are right on track being very early you are five weeks along. There is only one baby, we won't be able to tell genders until weeks about fifteen to twenty weeks along more realistically fifteen to eighteen weeks. We have monthly check ups unless we catch something to grab our attention which I am not finding right now. So now here is the baby's heart beat I want to let you know for first time parents the heart beat may sound really fast to you that just means it's strong." He said as Niki and Jaxon just nodded lost in the picture of the baby. "Look at that. That's our baby." Jaxon said watery eyed looking down at Niki who just nodded to him. "It sure is." She said as their attention got brought back to the screen as the roaring of the heart beat filled the room. "Ok so here are your pictures, Niki I know you know everything you need to based on all your cousins pregnancies, but do you have any concerns or questions Jaxon?" He asked. "Going to be honest everything is just starting to settle in and I can't really think of anything right now but I have a great person to ask. If she doesn't know we got a whole herd of her family who does." He said kissing Niki. "OK than your free to go." They got their things together and made their way wrapped up in each other heading to the dinner.
"Alright just a head s up the others have all left and you are the last ones. So now I understand the test duded out on you, however after looking at your medical records for the last couple of months which raises some concerns on a whole other level based on the answers to all the fluid tests I took form you and your exam. You are pregnant. Jessie they scary thing is you are four weeks only a month and it is absolutely amazing you are still pregnant after that tumble down the hill. Ok so let's get you on the ultra sound and check everything else out. You know we can't get a gender reading until fifteen to eighteen weeks realistically. Everything seems to be perfect." HE said looking around. "Well you are not having a baby, no you are having babies. You have twins but they are fraternal twins so you will be able to tell them apart, both are exactly the way they should be. So let's get this going. He mumbled to himself. Pushing buttons on the machine. The room filled with the sound of overlapping heart beats. Tears just flowing off Xavier and Jessie.
"That's our babies. We made that. They are there." Xavier said excitedly. "Yes we did. There they are and thanks to me a couple of weeks ago the almost wouldn't be." Jessie said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Hey these kids come from us they are already stronger than they should be. They are going to be just fine." Xavier said. "After looking over al this information I do happen to agree. However since you are still recovering and there are tow of them you will need to come see me every two weeks. You need to make sure to eat healthy I would say exercise but I really want you to be taking it easy you are still healing. So we will just keep an eye on you for a little while just to be on the safe side but I have no doubt in my mind you will be fine. Do you two have any other questions for me?" "No doctor, were good the vitamins we just pick up right?" Xavier asked. "Yup any store in the vitamin aisle. Congratulations you two. You will have you hands full." The doctor said as he made his way out.
"I can't believe this is really happening. We have babies they are right there." Xavier said as he kneeled down placing kisses on her tummy. Making her heart melt. I need to get dressed I am actually starting to really get hungry." She said as she finished getting her shoes on. "You didn't eat today did you?" Xavier asked as he started thinking back. "Nope and don't worry that won't happen again. I just ran out of time today but I will manage better. I swear." Jessie said. "You better make sure you do. There will be no more missing meals, you better know that right now. Towards the end of your third trimester you better hire about three more people to cover you and maternity leave I don't want you stressing out about anything." Xavier said in authoritive voice that left no room for argument, knowing where he is coming from she understood and just nodded in agreement with him. "So let's go celebrate with the gang and than go over to your parents I bet anything dad is over there." "Why do you say that?" Xavier asked. "I may have given your dad another movie." Jessie said laughing a little.
As they were waiting for everyone to meet up with them. "I can't believe everyone is starting to get married and pop out babies." Eric said laughing. "Speaking of which did you think of a date?" Noah asked reaching out for his hand. "I was thinking of being cliché and having a big June wedding. Near water either beach, or the lake. All of our family and friends. I'm going to have Jessie make the cake, and I can have the staff do the rest. We already have the wedding party. We can get our invites the same place Jaxon and Ryder took Xavier I liked theirs." Eric said as Noah hid his smile and laugh knowing he would have to go make them to hide the Walmart title, Eric was to high maintence to get something so important to him at Walmart. "So there is something I was thinking about." Noah said. "What's that?" "Are we going to adopt?" Noah asked. Eric choked on his drink, and started to go into a coughing fit. "You don't think that's a little soon there? I mean there is no rush right? You know how much help they are all going to need help soon. I wasn't even thinking about anything like until maybe later. After we get married I would like to have some time for ourselves first." Eric said hoping not to burst any bubbles. "I'm ok with that. I don't wan tot wait to long to do sign up though because you know sometimes it could take a couple of years. To even get an interview." Noah said. That's when it hit Eric he was right.
"Ok how about we fill out an application after Jessie and Xavier get married that way we will still have plenty of time before we get married and with any luck we can be getting interviewed by next Halloween?" Eric offered. "I would love that. You have no idea how much that means to me." Noah said covering his face with kisses. "So what made you bring this up today is because everyone is popping out a child?" Eric asked. "No, actually I was asking the guys last week at the gym on advice on how I should brings this up to you. I have been thinking about his for a little bit." Noah said shyly looking up at the man owns his heart and soul. "Ok but let's not tell anyone until we need them for the reference letters. The family has a lot of things going on right now and I just want to sit back and enjoy all the moments with them." Eric said Noah nodded in agreement.
As Jaxon and Axel was showing the other their sonograms. Xavier and Jessie came up and sat down. I see your baby and raise you one." Xavier said proudly. "Your having twins?" Axel said as the girls all awed. "Of course look at the man I bet his damn swimmers are fucking crazily as he is probably like swimmers on steroids. I'm almost shocked it's only two." Ryder said making everyone laugh and earning a smack to the back of his head by Noah who told beast he had this sitting him back down. For almost tow hours they sat ate and enjoyed each others company; as the fact that all of their lives have turned in such huge ways in one day. Each one more excited and ready for the next step, and whatever else came along.
After coming home from Xavier's parents after all three were caught up in their pictures of the ultra sound of the twins they had answered all the questions they had about how it was too soon for the other hospital to catch it and that the babies are fine even after getting the bullets removed. They were settled in bed as she drifted off to sleep. Xavier's hand resting on the babies. Everything had already settled with him about how close he could have been to losing he ever wanted. Yet here it was laying next to him fo the time being he can hold all three of them in two arms. A couple of tears rolling down his face as he sent a silent thank you to whoever is watching over him. His whole world is laying in between his arms and he wouldn't survive what could happen if he ever loses any one of them. Knowing some of his best friends are finally all moving on with their lives he was lost in shock and happiness. This is really happening everything they ever wanted right here actually happening. He couldn't figure out what he on thing right he did in all the wrongs he's done to get this far and to this point, but he will forever be thankful and happy for whatever has happened to bring them both here, being blessed with greatest gift he ever thought possible.
