July 8th, 2019

We walk into the hospital and sit in the waiting room for my appointment. We sit quietly, holding hands. Dom breaks the silence, "So then, do you reckon it's a boy or girl?"

I shrug my shoulders, "It's too early to find out anyway." He lets his head hang from his shoulders. "I bet it's a girl" he whispers to himself.

"Y/n" is called from across the room. A young nurse standing in the doorway. We both stand up and walk towards her, Dom wraps an arm around my shoulder, gently rubbing up and down.

The nurse closes the door behind us as I lay on the bed, Dom sitting on the chair next to me. I unbutton my high waisted jeans and lower them slightly, I lift my shirt to my ribs. "This is going to be cold" the nurse says as she squeezes the gel on my stomach. I flinch a little from the cold sensation, Dom places his hand in mine, squeezing gently.

The nurse begins doing the ultra sound as a fast heart beat is heard. A few tears begin slipping down my face, I turn to Dom, his eyes welled up.

She measures the baby and give me a due date, it was February 27th. She takes some pictures for me and wipes away the gel.

We leave the hospital, the biggest smiles plastered on our faces. I hold the rose and ultra sound pictures in my hand as we walk into the car park. Instead of walking to the taxi rank, Dom leads me into the main car park.

"Trust me." Dom says, placing one hand around my back, the other over my eyes. He begins leading me into the car park. "Be careful, there's a step up here" he says, slowing his pace as he helps me up the step.

We continue walking until he stops, "Open!" He shouts, pulling his hand from my face. In front of me is a beautiful black car, I don't know what it is but it looks incredibly expensive.

"Wow" is the only word that falls out of my mouth, I walk around the car and notice the rims are a hot pink. Typical Dom.

He pulls his key out of his pocket, unlocking the door. I walk to the passenger side and open the door. Before I can get in, Dom runs around next to me, he shuts the door. "You was supposed to let me do it, that's how these things work".

I step back as Dom opens the door for me, "Such a gentleman" I say slipping into the clean car.

He walks to the other side, gets in and revs the engine before pulling out onto the road. He begins driving towards the main road. He drives carefully, sticking to the speed limit. Every time we stop at red lights, he revs the shit out of the engine, clearly trying to show off.

When we finally get to the main road, he increases his speed. Going slightly above the speed limit, darting across the lanes. I feel myself being thrown around in my seat and thrusted down into it. When he changes gear I feel myself slightly fall forward before being pinned back to my seat.

"Woohooooo!" Dom shouts whilst changing lanes again. I look in the side mirror and see a black motorbike approaching on our left, Dom flicks his left indicator on. In what felt like slow motion I scream. "STAY IN THIS LANE. SLOW DOWN" choking on my words, I feel my eyes well up, eyes locked on Dom's as he flicks the indicator off.

The motorbike, moves past us and out of sight. Dom brings the car back to below the speed limit, he reaches his left hand over to me, placing it softly on my thigh. "What's the matter love? You know you could have asked me to slow down at any time right? You matter so much more to me." I nod, tears falling onto my lap.

He pulls into a car pack and pulls up. "It's just, there was a motorbike and - I - I just - my dad - " I begin stuttering, he reaches for my hand holding it tightly. "My dad was killed in a motorbike accident, because someone was speeding whilst drunk." I quickly blurt out.

Dom unbuckles his seat belt, leaning over the centre console and hugs me. I cry into his shoulder. "I miss him so much, I'll never be the same again." I sob, Dom holding me tightly.

"I'm so sorry y/n, I really am. We can talk about it anytime. I've got a few other surprises for you, I promise I'll drive slowly. And if we see another bike, I'll give them plenty of room. Okay?" I sniffle and nod gently, my head still against Dom's shoulder.

I gently pull away and sit back against my seat, Dom buckles his seatbelt and pulls onto the road slowly. We begin driving, sticking to the speed limit, about 10 minutes into the drive Dom says, "Close your eyes, I don't want you to see where we're going".

I place my hand over my eyes and look down. We continue driving for a short while before we pull up at the side of the road, he shuts of the car before turning to me. "Stay here, I'll come and get you out" before getting out.

Dom opens the door as I spin around and rest my feet on the ground. Dom holds my arm with his right hand, placing his left on the top of my head to make sure I don't hit it.

I get out of the car, my eyes still covered. We walk a short distance before Dom shouts "OPEN!" Yet again.

My jaw drops at what I see, "No way! Really?"
