Save Me From My Own Demise (Phan)

Hell Above

*Phil's POV*

-One month later-

I woke up on the Monday morning feeling like there was no reason to even drag myself out of bed. I had a headache and it didn't help that me and Dan hadn't been very good lately. We'd been fighting constantly and some of the fights we'd had in the last 3 days had made me near breaking point. Last night he kept on going on about how it wasn't safe to go on holiday before the baby, and I didn't get it. I simply asked him why and he said that there were lots of things in other countries that could make us ill and could endanger us ever making it back, and me being incredibly curious asked him why we couldn't go to nights out with friends and he snapped. He flew into a rage and started throwing things at me, shouting at me about being so against him lately and I couldn't even argue with him, because honestly I had been quite stressed and had taken some of my anger out on him.

I ran upstairs to the spare bedroom and went to sleep, I just couldn't deal with all the thoughts going around my head, telling me that Dan wasn't telling me something really important. Here I was now, sitting up and worrying about what it'd be like to se Dan after everything. that happened.

I walked downstairs to find that Dan had prepared me and him breakfast, he had a rose in his hand and an apolegetic look on his face, I could truly tell he was sorry for what he'd done. He walked up to me and handed me the rose, kissing me on the cheek, and to my suprise I didn't flinch. "I'm sorry for what happened last night, in fact even the last month. It's just that we're having a baby and I want everything to be perfect for him or her. I guess I didn't think of how you were feeling and I don't want this to come between us." Wow, he really thought that I'd give up on us because of us fighting? "Nothing could ever come between us Dan. I love you. Nothing will change that, and when this baby is born you're both going to be my biggest priorites and I can just see us sitting on the porch on rocking chairs as old men and I'll still love you just as much as I did the day I saw you."

Later in the day, me, Dan and Courtney all went to the first scan. It was one of the most nerve-wracking moments of my life. When we arrived at the hospital, the doctors called us in fairly quickly, it was nice that we didn't have to wait for ages. We entered the room and Courtney layed down on the bed, then lifted her shirt up to reveal a nearly invisible baby bump. In fact it looked bigger than a normal one at month. But when the doctor came in my thoughts were directed at the fact that we'd see our baby for the first time. Dr. Johnson came in with the jell and put it on Courtney's stomach.

When she put the little scanning machine onto the area where she put the jell, a picture appeared on the screen. A baby, an actual, living, breathing being that would seen be born. I actually felt a few tears roll down my face. But it scared me when the doctor looked worried. I was beginning to worry something had happened. "Is everything okay?" I choked out weakly. She didn't answer, she just left the room to go and check something. We were all worried about what could be wrong, and it didn't help that she took so long to come back. At least 10 minutes later she came back with a small paper folder, she began writing something down and then she looked over to us all. "I was very concerned at first, but it seems that everything is good. It has come to my attention that there is 2 fetus' growing and maturing inside the uterus. Congratulations, you are having twins."

I really couldn't believe my ears, I just hugged and kissed Dan and we were all overwhelmed by it, I was going to have twins, 2 little babies to love forever.

                                             My life was finally beginning to take shape.
