The next day,Mila and I tell the others that we’re going shopping. When really, we’re going to my OB/GYN appointment. I took a pregnancy test the day after the wedding. I couldn’t stop crying all day. With that and being so nauseous for the past week and a half, I had a feeling it would be positive. There’s been so much going on that I didn’t even realize I had missed a period. Sure enough, the test I took came back positive. I called and made an appointment first thing Monday morning.
We’re sitting in the waiting for twenty minutes when a nurse finally calls my name. We walk back together.
“Hi, Tinsley. I’m Cristina, Dr. Grey’s nurse.”
“Nice to meet you,” I reply. “This is Mila, my sister-in-law.”
Cristina goes through some basics, checking my weight and height, then takes us to a room. She goes through a series of questions about me and my health, then switches to the baby’s father.
“So, here’s where it gets tricky,” I start. “I’m exclusive with two men. The three of us are in a relationship together.”
“Okay, nothing wrong with that. I’ll make a note for Dr. Grey.” Cristina smiles. After a few more questions, she lets us know the doctor will be in shortly.
Five minutes later, Cristina comes back with Dr. Grey.
“Hello, Tinsley. I’m Dr. Alex Grey. How are you today?”
“I’m good, thank you.”
“Well, we have some good news for you. Your test came back positive. Congratulations, mama-to-be,” she tells me.
Mila squeals beside me and I smile so big my cheeks ache.
“What do you say we get a look and see how far along you are?”
“I’d like that,” I say.
Cristina rolls in an ultrasound machine and I lay back on the exam table, lifting my shirt so they can have access to my stomach.
“Do you mind folding the waistband of your leggings down a little, please,” she asks. I do as she asks. She places a paper towel at the waistband and holds up a bottle of gel. “This might be a little cold.”
She squirts the gel on and a chill goes through me. Dr. Grey hits a few buttons and rubs the wand across my belly.
“Here we go,” she says.
When the appointment is over, we leave with some sonogram pictures and a couple of videos Mila took, including one of the heartbeat. Diesel sent us a text during the appointment letting us know they were headed to the clubhouse so Krissy could meet everyone, so that’s where we go next. After we grab a bite to eat, that is.
We pull up to the clubhouse. The damage from Saturday is still noticeable. I park in the designated parking for cars and we climb out.
“This place is beautiful,” Mila gushes.
“I’ll have to take you to stargaze one night. Diesel showed me the best place for it,” I tell her.
“That would be awesome!” She wraps an arm around my shoulders. “Are you ready for this?”
I take a deep breath. “Get your camera ready. Let’s do this.”
We walk into the clubhouse. The main room is pretty full. I think this is a good time for our announcement. The whole club could use a little sunshine after the thunderstorm that we just went through.
“Hey, Pixie.” Diesel walks over to me and kisses my forehead.
“Hollywood, come over here. I have something for both of you,” I tell them.
“What’s up?”
