Hooked On You

Fifty

Fifty chapters in and there's still so much to come!!! I'm starting to think this is never going to end 😂

Demi

"Baby is growing perfectly, Demi" my eyes had welled up with tears as I stared at the monitor able to see my baby. Odell's hand was tight around mine as he leant in to press his lips to mine. I gave his hand a squeeze and then glanced to meet his gaze. His own eyes had welled up with tears and the sight completely warmed my heart.

"I don't think it's going to be long before you start to feel this little one" Dr Grey lightly joked.

"I-I keep feeling like little flutters, is that the baby?"

"Can you feel them now?"

"Yeah, it feels like butterflies."

"I'd say that with the way this little one's moving, it's definitely baby, Demi" I glanced to Odell who had his eyes locked on the monitor. "I think you're going to have a very active baby. Very much like their daddy I suppose" I rolled my eyes as Odell and Dr Grey laughed. "Are you still suffering with the morning sickness, Sweetheart?" I nodded as I glanced to the monitor.

"Yeah, I-I can't even smell raw meat without vomiting and I can't eat any kind of cheese which is a shame because I used to eat everything with cheese" Dr Grey lightly laughed as she removed the probe from my belly.

"I'm afraid that's all normal. If the vomiting doesn't improve or it gets worse, contact me and we'll see about getting you on some medication to slow it down" I nodded, taking the tissue from her so that I could wipe the gel off my belly. "Are there any other questions you want to ask before I let you go?"

"I-I..." I glanced briefly to Odell who stroked a strand of hair behind my hair. "My-My sister had a baby and-and she said that it's normal but..." I couldn't stop my cheeks from heating up. "I-I feel like we're constantly having sex. We-We do it like multiple..." my eyes danced to meet Odell's. He took my hand in his and flashed me a subtle smirk which made my cheeks burn hotter. "Times a day" Dr Grey lightly laughed as she nodded.

"That's normal too. Your hormones are all over the place. You're young and in love, you add the hormones on top. You have no reason to be embarrassed, Honey" she flashed me a comforting smile. "Try not to be too aggressive, so to speak. If you do suffer from any spotting, it's usually normal but if it's accompanied by pain or your concerned, do just drop into the hospital."

"I will."

"I'll go and print some copies out but I'll see you again in 4 weeks. You'll start to feel a lot changing in these next couple of weeks but baby's all healthy and your blood results are normal" I slowly sat up, Odell's hand moving to my back. "If you feel anything unusual or you have any pain, go straight to the hospital."

"Thank you, Dr Grey" she nodded as she left the room. I turned to Odell who leant down to peck my lips.

"Our little babe's growing" he widely smiled as he ran his hand along my still relatively flat belly. "Love you."

"Love you too, and our baby" I pecked his lips, giggling as he ever so lightly deepened it.

"What's this?" I lightly laughed at the confusion on Matthew's face as he peered slightly over Jordan's shoulder.

"It's a sonogram. You tend to get them when you're pregnant" I watched as Jordan's lips spread into a smile and then realisation set in and Matthew squealed. I leant to lightly slap his arm to shut him up as people turned to stare at us. "Shut up" my cheeks lightly burnt at the attention we had received.

"You're pregnant?" he whispered like it was suddenly a secret.

"I'm 12 weeks and 3 days. Everything's perfect so far" I lightly smiled as I took back the sonogram.

"Is Odell happy about this?"

"He's so happy. He actually cried at the appointment" I leant back in the booth with a wide smile.

"Is this why you moved in with him?"

"A little bit" I shrugged, continuing to smile down at the sonogram. "But he said that he never wanted me to leave. He hates when I'm not sleeping beside him. He hates that I don't come home to him and I hate it too so..." I widely smiled as I glanced up and met Jordan's smile.

"I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to be an auntie" she lightly squealed and I laughed as she danced around in her seat.

"Yeah, this baby's going to be spoilt" I nodded at Matthew, smiling as our waitress came over with our lunch.

-

"Hi Hal" I lightly laughed as she collided into my legs as I stepped through the front door with Odell just behind me.

"O" she stumbled away from me and ran at Odell. She squealed as he lifted her up and over his head before he settled her on his hip. I turned to Dallas who wrapped her arm around me.

"How are you? How was the appointment?"

"It was good. Matthew and Jordan are both excited" she pulled away with a wide smile. "It's just Maddie I need to tell."

"She'll be excited too, you remember how she was when she found out about Hallie" my lips spread into a smile.

"She didn't shut up about it for days."

"She was so excited" Dallas stroked a strand of hair behind my ear. "She's in the living room" she pointed to the door. I glanced back at Odell who had Hallie cuddled into his side, the sight completely warmed my heart. My hand settled on my belly. I can't wait to see him with our own baby. I began into the living room and instantly settled down on the couch beside Maddie who leant into my side, our arms locking around each other. I pressed a kiss to the top of her head and gently ran my fingers through her hair.

"Hi Baby Girl."

"Hi."

"Do you wanna know a secret?" she pulled away from me with furrowed brows, her lips having tugged into a light smile.

"Yeah" her eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded. I lightly laughed as I pulled the sonogram from my purse. I handed it over to her and watched as her eyes welled up with tears. "Are you having a baby?" I nodded, a lump suddenly forming in my throat as she choked on a sob, tears burnt at the back of my eyes.

"Are you happy?" she nodded as she wrapped her arms back around me. "I love you, Madison" I cuddled myself into her, my fingers running through her hair.
