Chapter Five

Bailey

I was already turning into a crazy bitch, and I just peed on that fucking stick less than a week ago. I was a hot fucking mess. I felt needy as fuck and couldn’t seem to stop. I couldn’t control all the stuff running through me, and it was making me insane.

Yesterday at the doctor's office, I tried to tame my anxiety by leaning on Ryker and knowing he was right there with me, but I was still jittery. Even with the heads up from the ultrasound technician, I still jerked back when the cold gel hit my small baby bump that seemed to sprout overnight.

It was like overnight everything changed with my body and life. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, everything I had felt for the last few months made sense. I now had the reasons behind the weight gain, the sickness, and the rioting moods.

My boobs have been extra sensitive lately, and I noticed my bras fitting a little tighter. I wrote that off as gaining some weight because I’ve been eating more, same with my jeans and shirts. I felt as though I had been eating anything in sight, but I had been working out a lot. I figured I needed more calories for nourishment. I didn’t have morning sickness too severely, but I felt nauseous most days. It always passed, so I didn’t give it much attention. I figured I was stressed out with school and starting something new was the cause of my changing moods.

Now, I knew better. Looking at the monitor with the black and white picture of the tiny creation growing in my belly had tears streaming down my face. I was filled with awe seeing the evidence of what Ryker and I created.

It was a legit baby. I was looking at our baby. I could see fingers and toes. It was amazing to know a little human being was in my body. The moment I heard the steady thump of a heartbeat of a living person growing inside of me, a calmness I never knew came over me.

I was still so scared I would mess this all up but looking at that image settled something inside me. I was in love. Looking at the emotion on Ryker’s face, I knew I wasn’t alone. We were doing this together. I would do everything in my power to not mess this up, but if I faltered, Ryker would be there to catch me.

It was a lot to take in, a lot of responsibility having someone love me so fiercely, and a lot of vulnerability needing someone as much as I needed Ryker. My head got all fucked up thinking about how big this whole situation was, but then he would do something to bring me back.

I needed to talk to someone about all of this and try to get some clarity. Ryker and I were going to his parents’ house tomorrow to tell his parents and siblings, but I needed to talk this out with someone on my side.
