A New Beginning

Chapter 5

It had been a month since Mom and Luke's wedding and since I had told Logan about the baby. Logan was arriving back from London this afternoon. I had been organizing my room and was having difficulty with arranging it to be able to fit two people. I started to second guess myself for asking Mom to let Logan stay with us here. I realized that we will need to find somewhere of our own quick or we may kill each other. I thought this with a little laugh in my head.

I had just sat down to eat a sandwich for lunch when Logan arrived. There was a knock on the door. I got up and ran to the door and flung it open. As soon as I saw him standing there, I broke into a huge smile and couldn't contain my excitement anymore and jumping into his arms. We held each other for what felt like hours. He kept pulling back looking at me giving me kisses, then pulling me back in. I was in heaven.

I broke the reunion after a bit and looked into his eyes; his beautiful eyes; and said ,"I'm so glad you are home. Come in and get settled."

"I'm glad I'm here too Ace." He replied as we walked into the house and to our room. He looked around taking it all in. I could see the surprise on his face as he took in the room.

"I know it's small and we will have to find something else soon, but for a short while, till we can, it will do." He looked at me and smiled putting his arm around my shoulders.

"I'm happy being wherever you and the little one are Ace."

After Logan got settled we went for a walk around the town square. As we passed people on the street they stopped and looked at Logan and I. "I think we will be the talk of the town." I said with a little giggle as I saw Miss Patty and Babette whispering. "It's been a while since they have seen we with a man."

"Well let's give them something to talk about then" he said as he pulled me into a sweet but passionate kiss. It took the breath out of me. He hadn't kissed me like that in a long time and I loved the connection that we had again. It felt like everything was right in the world again.

"They will be talking even more once I start to show." I said as I put my hand to my stomach without really thinking about it.

"Speaking of which," Logan asked, "when is the first appointment?"

I took out my phone and opened the calendar and checked. "It's on Monday." I looked at my phone again realizing it was already Friday. "Holy! That's in only 3 days! I'm not even ready... I haven't even made my lists of my questions!" I started hyperventilating.

"Relax Ace we have time. Just breath. I will help with all of that." He pulled me into a hug and held me till my breathing started to go back to normal. When he let me go he said, "there we go that's better. Now why don't we go grab some food and head back to the house and start working on that list" he said this with a little chuckle.

"Are you making fun of my lists?" I gave him a playful angry look.

"No no never. I love your lists." He quickly answered throwing his hands in the air in defence while grinning.

"Good" I responded and pulled him in to a kiss by grabbing the collar of his shirt.

We proceeded to Luke's and grab some food and headed back to the house. When we got back we plopped down on the couch and and started eating and working on the list. We came up with several good questions I thought.

1.    When will the first ultrasound be?

2.    When am I due?

3.    When will we be able to know what we are having?

4.    What should we be doing to make sure baby is healthy?

5.    What is the likeliness that something will go wrong?

6.    Is there anything I shouldn't eat or that I should eat that I'm not?

I'm sure there was more we would think of but for now that helped me relax a bit.
