A Bakers Dozen dreams

Surprise

6 months later

Daniel's POV...

I was woken up by the sound of someone vomiting. I turned over in bed to see that it was empty I guess it was Becky who was being sick. I got up and rushed to the bathroom, I saw her being sick and went to her rubbing her back and holding her hair back. 

This was the fifth time this week that she was being sick. It was 3 am and this was happening for the 3rd time tonight. I was worried about her maybe she is really ill. She seemed really weak today nothing like normal, she was quiet and looked exhausted. 

She got up and went to brush her teeth. When she turned back around she looked so faint, she then fainted just like that. I took her to bed and called my personal doctor it was 3 am and he lives near by so I thought that would be quicker. 

20 minutes later..

The doctor arrived and told me that she looked to be dehydrated so hooked a drip up to her. He also said he was going to do some blood work and would let me know results tomorrow morning. Becky just wanted cuddles which I knew she loved but she seemed to love them especially when she was sick. She fell asleep around 6 am.

 At 9 the doctor returned he told me he found something in her blood work, that made me immediately tense I was worried that it was something serious. I took her hand in mine and began to gently stroke the back of it. The doctor told me that she was pregnant! 

I couldn't believe my ears I was going to be a dad again. I then pieced everything together her mood swings and constant need to cuddle all made sense now. I couldn't wait to tell her. I couldn't wait to tell Bella either she was going to be a big sister. We were going to have a baby. 

I asked if he knew how many weeks he didn't but told me to get her to book her an appointment so we could go and have a scan and see our baby and make sure they were okay. 

2 Hours later...

Becky finally woke up she seemed to be exhausted this pregnancy was really taking it out of her. I knew that I had to tell her. So here goes. "Hey baby how you feeling?" I asked her. She told me that she still felt tired and a little bit sick. "I had the doctor come and check on you earlier, he said you were dehydrated but he also wanted to do some blood work." She said okay what did he say. 

" Honey he said that you are pregnant!" She just looked at me shocked. She had tears in her eyes. She said she was sorry, I asked her why she was sorry and she said she didn't mean to that she must have forgotten to take her pill on day. I told her not to worry and that I was happy. That made her change her tears were now happy tears she realised she was going to be a mum again. I couldn't wait for our family to grow. I also couldn't wait for an appointment tomorrow so had one booked in for this afternoon. 

We made our way to our appointment. We held hands in the car ready to see our baby and find out how many weeks Becky was. We got there and checked in and now were waiting for her name to be called.       " Ms Rebecca Adams" We heard her name and both got up.

 We were told that we could get an ultrasound and see the baby. It turns out Becky was 5 months pregnant already and we had no idea. The more I looked at Bex's tummy the more I noticed a barely noticeable bump. 

The sonographer also let us listen to the heart beat. Hearing that made me teary, that was my baby in there. We were also told that we could tell people as we were out of the risk of miscarriage. Today was a day full of information going from just finding out we are having a baby to we can tell people already. 

We also were asked if we wanted to know the gender and immediately we said yes. She said it was a "Boy!" I couldn't believe it I was going to have a baby boy. Becky was carrying our son in her Belly. The one person we wanted to tell was Bella. We needed to know that she was okay. 

On the way home we collected Bex's prenatal vitamins and anti- sickness medication. Hopefully these will make her pregnancy easier on her. We also in the car were wondering how to tell her that she was going to be a big sister. We just decided to come out and say it. We were going to do something different for when we tell our family. 

"Bella we have something that we need to tell you baby" Becky started to say. "We are going to be having a baby." She looked at us confused. I held my hand against Becky's Belly and said "There is a baby in mummy's tummy" She looked at us staring to be exact and said "Am I going to be a big sister?" We said yes you are going to have a little brother. 

She smiled and walked up to us and said "she learnt about families at school and most of her friends had siblings and she wanted one too. Now she had that dream. "Are you happy baby girl?" Becky asked her. She just nodded rather excitedly. Charlie then walked through the door rather confused as to why we were all crying and Bella was dancing. We then decided that now was the time to tell him. 

"Charlie you are going to be an uncle again." He looked as surprised as we did earlier. "WOW I can't believe it. When did you find out?" We told him all about our day and finding out this news. He seemed happy for us. We ordered dinner in as nobody could be bothered to cook. 

After dinner I decided to put Bella to bed as Becky was in the bath. Bella and I had a little chat about her brother and she was already so excited to meet him. I read her a story and kissed her goodnight. 

Becky was still in the bath so I decided to join her. I got in behind her and leaned her against my chest with her sat between my legs. She had her hands resting on her belly, I put mine on top of hers. I talked to her about buying a house. 

She liked the idea because she really wanted to have a garden where the kids  could run around and play with Max. We wanted a house that would be big enough if we wanted to expand our family. We had decided that we would start looking tomorrow. At the moment the wedding planning was on the back burner with Becky being ill she wasn't up to planning but now I think we should get married before the baby so I might hire a wedding planner so that Bex isn't stressed. 

I talked to her about that too she seemed keen but wanted to get married no later than next month before she got any bigger. One of the main things that came up was Charlie. Where was he going to stay. I decided that he could keep the apartment so long as he pays a small amount of rent to me nothing that would cause him to debt. 

We got out of the bath and got into our Pyjamas, Charlie was making hot chocolate as he heard us come out. We watched films and snuggled under a blanket drinking our hot chocolate. We decided to bring up the housing issue and our wedding. Charlie was thrilled that the wedding was going to be sooner and when we told him about us getting a house he looked a little nervous obviously wondering where that left him. Where was he going to live he probably thought. We decided to put him our of his misery and tell him that we were gifting him the apartment but for a very small price. 

We also decided to asked if he had any ideas on how to tell our family. He had a great idea invite everyone for dinner make it like a normal dinner and then come out with it but to reveal the gender have cupcakes for dessert and the cupcakes will the colour of the gender. We hadn't actually told him it was a boy yet so he was going to find out with everyone else. Only Bella knew I just hope she can keep a secret for a couple of days. 

Becky's POV...

I cannot believe I am pregnant. How did I not know I thought I just had a stomach bug or something. I never had regular periods anyway so took no notice when I didn't have them for a while. When Daniel first told me my immediate response was to apologise. When I told Jordan about being pregnant with Bella he was so angry and believed that I got pregnant on purpose and as a result of that I got a beating. 

When I saw that Daniel was not angry with me I realised that this was perfect we were going to be a proper family. I couldn't wait to have this baby. He seemed so excited too excited he had already booked me an appointment. 

This was all going rather quickly but I wanted to make sure my, our baby was safe. When we found out I was 5 month pregnant already I couldn't believe that I didn't notice. Wow and when I found it it was a boy I was overjoyed I have always wanted a baby boy. 

When we told Bella I was so worried what if she didn't like it what if she wouldn't accept having a baby brother. When we told her she was over the moon. She couldn't wait for him to be with us. She told us her friends at school had brothers and sisters and she wanted one too now she did. My little girl was getting so big now. We told Charlie as well but kept out the part that it was a boy we wanted it to be a surprise. 

I decided to have a bath while Daniel put Bella to bed. Half way through my bath Daniel came in and joined me in the bath. I sat between his legs and leaned against his chest holding my belly. He put his hands on top of mine. He told me how excited he was to have this baby. 

We talked about getting a house because the apartment wasn't big enough and I had always dreamed of having a garden. It would be perfect for the kids to run around and play with Max. We also talked about moving the wedding up. We had but it on the back burner while I was feeling ill but I really wanted to get married before the baby came and I got any bigger. 

Daniel also spoke about hiring a wedding planner so that I don't stress out too much but I didn't fancy that idea it was my wedding and I wanted to do it. Well it was our wedding and I wanted us to do it together plus I knew that Lottie will want to help along with Amanda, Scarlet and Mrs Smith. 

After our bath we went out to the living room to snuggle under a blanket and watch Telly. We noticed that Charlie was making hot chocolate, he really knows how to make a pregnant woman happy. The key to my heart is to fill my tummy and baby seemed to like chocolate at the moment. We told him about the baby as well but left out the part that it was a boy. He seemed thrilled for us and obviously loved being an uncle to Bella and now he could be one again but this time from the beginning. 

We also told him about buying a house, he seemed happy for us but also a little nervous I knew that he was worried about where he was going to live. I told him that Daniel was gifting him the apartment for a small price. He was over the moon he loved living here and he felt safe here.

 He had lived in London for a while now and made friends he even had a boyfriend. That's right my brother is gay, when he told me I was over the moon he deserved to be happy. His boyfriend Curtis was a sweetie and I loved him so much. He became a really good friend of mine and even came out with me and the girls sometimes. He told us that he was thinking of asking him to move in. I told him that it was a great idea. 

We then got chatting about telling our family about the baby. He came up with a brilliant idea to organise a dinner act like it was a normal one and then reveal our surprise. We then came up with the idea to have cupcakes for dessert and the colour of the sponge would represent the baby's gender. 

Daniel noticed that I looked tired so suggested that we all go to bed. I couldn't be bothered to walk I was too knackered and Daniel saw so decided to carry me to bed. We got in and snuggled under the blankets. I had such an emotional day but I wouldn't change it for the world. I thought to myself I was going to be a mummy again. I cannot wait. 

Daniel fell asleep straight away, I saw that it was a lot for him to handle. He found out he was going to be a dad he hadn't experienced this before. Yes he was a good dad to Bella but he never experienced this part it was all new to him. I was proud of him, he has really been there for me. I soon fell asleep. I was then woken up at 2 am feeling awfully sick man this is the only bad thing about my pregnancy at the moment. 

I hurried to the bathroom to empty my stomach. I heard Daniel get up and follow me he rubbed my back and held my hair just like he had yesterday. He really was going to be hands on and I couldn't wait. I was going to have someone supporting me throughout the whole pregnancy and I was so happy. I needed someone to rely on and I was glad that it was going to be him. 

I got myself cleaned up and back to bed and snuggled back up with Dan. I cannot wait for us to tell our family they will be so happy to have another baby in the family. Isla-May was getting so big now that she was hardly and baby anymore. She was now walking and Nathan and Lottie were like proud parents all the time and I loved to see them so happy as a family. They were what I inspired to be like their family was all I had ever dreamed of. Our little addition was going to be loved by everyone around him.

 As I slowly drift off the sleep I begin to think of names for our little man. There were so many good ones that I had in mind but I really wanted Dan's input. Maybe he had one in mind. Today was a great day and tomorrow telling our family will be even better. My baby boy was already loved by so many.
