We Could Be Something

Tapping her foot impatiently, Adriana spared a small glance around the room, trying to swallow the small lump which existed her in throat. It had been a little while, after she had received the positive result, almost a week had past, but still she hadn’t found the nerve to tell Iker that she was pregnant.

She knew that she had to, eventually, the signs of her pregnancy would become more pronounced and harder to hide, but part of her was worried, even if she and Iker had discussed the prospect of having a baby at point, part of her was worried that he would think that it was too soon.

Chewing on her lip, she allowed her blue eyes to wander across the room for a couple of seconds before the sound of footsteps reached her, causing her to lift her head, her eyes settling on her midwife who smiled at her warmly. “I thought it would be a while before I saw you again, Dr Montes” she mused softly.

“You’re not the only one” Adriana noted softly, a nervous smile on her face.

Isla quirked a reassuring grin before she jutted a thumb over her shoulder. “You ready to get started?” she posed gently.

Adriana offered her a shy look before she nodded her head, moving to lift her bag onto her shoulder.

“So, you were referred to me by your doctor” Isla mused as she padded towards her desk, moving to sit down.

Adriana, who’d moved to sit down ahead of her, offered her a small nod, something which made Isla smile a little. “I’ve looked over the tests he sent you for and I’ve been able to confirm that you are pregnant. I’d like to do a quick ultrasound in an attempt to date the pregnancy, but if you’d like to put that off for a little while, we can set up another appointment. Do you want to do it now?” she posed, her tone soft and comforting.

Adriana, who’d been pulling at a loose thread on her bag, mulled the question over for a second before she nodded, something which made Isla nod. “If you’d just climb up onto the bed, we can get started” she mused kindly.

Adriana swallowed a little before she pushed herself to her feet, moving to settle down on the bed.

“This is likely to be a little cold” Isla mused softly, her hand gently moving the shirt away from Adriana’s stomach.

“I remember” Adriana quipped softly.

Isla offered her a gentle smile before she moved to smooth the gel over Adriana’s skin, something which made the blonde flinch a little before Isla moved to start the scan. Fiddling with her fingers slightly, Adriana flicked her eyes towards the screen before a small squeak fell out of her mouth, something which made Isla smile. “You look a little way along” she noted softly “From this, I’d estimate that you’re at least 8 weeks” she added softly.

Adriana, who’d been watching the screen, blinked a couple of times, something which made the midwife shake her head a little. “I’ll make you an appointment to come back in a few weeks for another checkup and I’ll go and get you a copy of the scan that you can take with you. Congratulations, Adriana” she mused warmly before she stepped out of the door.

Adriana watched after her for a couple of seconds before she flicked her attention back towards the screen, a soft smile pulling at the corner of her mouth. She knew that it was soon, even if she and Iker had briefly discussed the notion of having a baby, she knew that it was still early, but she knew that she couldn’t keep it to herself, even if she was a little worried, she knew that she had to share the news with Iker.

Pushing a hand back through her hair, Adriana spared a small sigh to herself before she moved to pad through towards the living room, her blue eyes settling on Iker who was settled on the couch, cooing softly to Olivia who blinked sleepily in his arms.

Quirking a small smile, she rested against the frame of the door for a couple of seconds before she cleared her throat, something which caused Iker to look up, a warm smile on his face.

“You’re back earlier than I was expecting” he noted gently “How was your appointment?” he posed, his expression soft and curious. It had been a little sudden, when Adriana had told him that morning that had an appointment to get to, he’d been caught a little off guard, and he wanted to ensure that everything was alright.

Adriana mulled the question over for a couple of seconds before she pushed a hand through her hair, something which made him tilt his head, not missing the slightly nervous expression which had appeared on her features. “Addie?” he posed, gently moving to settle Olivia down beside him “What’s going on?” he added.

Adriana chewed on her lip for a couple of seconds before she carefully moved to pull something out of her bag. “I need to talk to you about something” she noted softly.

Iker offered her a slightly concerned look before he nodded, wordlessly encouraging her to go on.

Adriana took in a breath before she stepped towards him, her fingers lacing with his. “I know that me and you haven’t been together for very long” she noted softly “I mean, it’s not even been a year yet, but I have something to tell you and I need you to let me get through it before you react, OK?” she posed softly.

Iker quirked an eyebrow in confusion before he nodded his head, his hand gently squeezing Adriana’s.

Adriana glanced down towards their hands for a second before she flicked her eyes up, meeting his. “Iker” she murmured softly “I’m…I’m pregnant” she added quietly.

Iker blinked a couple of times. “What?” he breathed gently.

“I know it is soon” Adriana squeaked softly “It is probably too soon, but I thought I ought to tell you. That’s where I was this morning, I was visiting my midwife who told me that I am about 8 weeks gone” she babbled gently, her spare hand moving to rest on the front of her shirt.

Iker watched the movement of her hand for a second before he lifted his head, his dark eyes meeting her blues. “You’re pregnant?” he breathed softly.

Adriana nodded shyly. “I am” she confirmed softly “But if this is too much for you, I get it. It’s not even been a year yet and I would understand if you wanted to…”

“I don’t want to go anywhere” Iker interjected softly.

“What?” Adriana posed.

Iker quirked a small smile before he moved to push himself to his feet, stepping towards her slightly. “I am not going anywhere, Addie” he repeated softly “You’re right, this is soon, perhaps a little too soon, but I am going nowhere. I am going to be here for you, and for our bump too” he added, his hand gently moving to rest atop hers.

Adriana glanced down at his hand for a moment, something which made him chuckle softly before he pressed a kiss against her lips, mumbling about being excited by the prospect of welcoming the new addition. It was soon, he and Adriana had only been dating for a matter of months, but still he was confident, even if it was going to take a little work, he was excited by the idea that she was pregnant.
