Today was my first doctor’s appointment, and I think Titan was more nervous than I was. When I called Eve and asked her, could she get me in to see the doctor she worked with, she was excited while Saint almost blew a gasket. He told Titan he was on the way so be ready to fight. His ass really came overto Titan’s place and thought he was going to fight him. It was hilarious because all Titan did was laugh and told him he would shoot his ass before letting him fuck his shoulder back up. Once he threatened to call Saint’s mama, he retreated. He was just putting on his big brother act, but he was genuinely happy for us but told Titan this better be the first and last time he had physical proof of him fucking on his sister.
We pulled up to the doctor’s office, and my nerves were all over the place. To ensure our privacy, he paid to have any appointments today to be rescheduled during our time slot and didn’t want any other people inside but Eve and the doctor. They instructed us that we could use the employee entrance in the back, so once he parked, he helped me out and escorted me to the door, where we were met by Eve.
“Hey, you two. Come on in so we can get started.” We hugged, and she led us to the exam room where she took my vitals and handed me a cup to go collect a urine sample.
Titan was with me every step of the way and helped me in the bathroom like I was handicapped. Once everything was done, I washed my hands and walked back into the exam room where Titan handed Eve my sample.
“I’ll be right back with the doctor.”
Eve closed the door behind herself, leaving us alone in the exam room. I looked around the room trying to do anything to distract myself from the swarm of emotions that were taking over me. When I focused back on Titan, his eyes were already on me. No words were spoken as we stared at each other. The doctor knocking and coming in was the only thing that broke our trance.
“Good afternoon. I’m Dr. Jennings, and it’s an honor to see the two of you today,” she greeted.
Titan nodded while I sat quietly.
“Let’s get to the reason for your appointment,” she stated as she washed her hands. “I looked over your chart and congratulations are in order. You are indeed pregnant. Now let’s see how far along we are.”
Dr. Jennings instructed me to lie back on the table, and she lifted my shirt to reveal my stomach. Titan moved closer to me and grabbed my hand and kissed it before diverting his attention to the doctor. While she was moving the wand across my stomach, we both had our eyes locked on the screen. She did a few clicks before an image came onto the screen.
“And here is your little one,” she announced as she circled the image. The next thing we heard was a rapid heartbeat, and that was the moment it became real. I looked up at Titan, and he had his hand covering his mouth, trying to conceal his emotions, but I could see straight through that.
“It looks like you’re measuring around seven weeks with a late summer due date,” she informed us.
Titan still had said nothing or taken his eyes off the screen.
“Do you two have any questions for me?” She asked.
“No… no, not that I can think of,” I responded, still in disbelief.
She cleaned my stomach and gave me a prescription for prenatal vitamins before she left. Once she was gone, Eve finally spoke up.
“Your brother has been blowing me up wanting to know how your visit was. I told him I’ll let you tell him, but congratulations.” She beamed. “I can’t wait to be an auntie again,” she simpered.
“Good luck with Low and Lani,” Titan finally spoke up.
Once Eve handed off my prescriptions, she gave us our next appointment, and we headed out the same way that we had come in. After we got situated in the truck, Titan finally voiced his internal thoughts.“We’re really about to be somebody’s parents, huh?” He smirked.
“We’re really about to be somebody’s parents,” I simpered.

Titan took me back home after our appointment because he had conditioning afterward. His shoulder has been showing signs of improvement, so he was getting back into the swing of working out with the team. I was happy for him because he had been miserable these last couple of weeks. Now I was in here organizing some of my stuff instead of taking a nap, like I wanted to. He made the transition to me officially moving in with him smooth, since I was always over here, anyway.
While I hung some of my things up in the closet, I had the music blasting as I maneuvered around the room. His closet was spacious enough for me to have room for my things and not crowd or inconvenience him. During my mini concert, my phone rang, and when I looked, I saw it was Janae calling.
“Hello…” I answered, damn near out of breath.
“Bitch, what you over there doing? Titan got you bent over the counter?” She joked.
I couldn’t help but laugh at her ignorant ass.
“No, hoe,” I tittered. “I was in here putting my things up and you interrupted my concert,” I explained.
“Whatever, hoe. You bet not be in there shaking up my God baby. When we do anyway?” Janae was the first person I texted after I got the results. Since Lani and Sasha were here to witness, I didn’t want her to feel left out. We only agreed not to tell our parents yet. We wanted to wait until we had our first appointment.
“Don’t start that extra shit. This baby can’t even feel shit and you’re already being extra right along with its daddy.” I rolled my eyes like she could see me.
“Yeah, whatever. When we have this baby, so I can be ready?”
