You're Beautiful To Me

I make it home after two emergency stops to be sick again, nothing but the water I'm sipping from the bottle coming up as that's all that's in my stomach. When I get home Frank rushes over to me and says "Baby are you alright?" And I shove past him to run towards the bathroom, not quite making it to the toilet and I vomit water and stomach acid all over the floor. "Shit babe" I hear Frank say behind me and I turn, tears streaming down my face and my hands clutching at my stomach. "I'm sorry, I'll clean it" I choke out and Frank steps over and his hands gently clutch at my hips. "No no baby it's ok, I'll clean up, are you alright? What's going on?" "I dunno" I sob out. "It hurts Frankie." "How long have you been sick?" He asks as his hand comes up to touch my forehead. "Like an hour, it was so sudden and..." I trail off, my stomach clenching painfully and I turn and lean over the toilet, choking up stomach acid and my throat and chest burn from it. "Ok baby come on, we're getting you to a doctor." I shake my head and he says "Gee, not a question. I'll get Anna, go get your butt in the car." I slowly drag myself out to Franks car, Frank coming a minute later with Anna and once he puts her in her seat she gurgles a little while he gets in the drivers seat and hands me
an empty container for just incase. We drive to the hospital and within fifteen minutes I am in an exam room with a doctor. He immediately hooks me to a drip to keep me hydrated and he performs a few tests, taking blood too. Once he leaves the room Frank settles beside the bed in a chair with Anna in his lap and I drift to sleep, napping for about an hour before the doctor comes back and Frank gently shakes me awake. "Well Mr Iero we seem to have some results but I just want to run one last test to be sure." I nod, worried that it will be something really bad and serious and the doctor and a nurse help me into a wheel chair and they hook a portable iv to me while they take me to another exam room where I spot an ultrasound machine. "Am I?" I ask and the doctor says "We're about to find out Gerard" and I smile as get up on the bed, laying down and pulling my shirt up. The familiar cold gel is smeared on my stomach as the doctor presses the wand into me and he starts moving it around a small faint fluttering pulse showing on the screen. "Congratulations" the doctor says and Franks mouth drops open in amazement. "Wow Anna baby look, there's your little brother or sister" he says as he points and Anna gurges, looking around before her eyes focus on me and I smile at her as she claps her hands together. "Very good baby" I tell her, clapping back and she shrieks and waves her arms around, the nurse smiling at us the whole time. "Frankie" I say and he turns his gaze from the screen to me and he says "I love you, so much" and we share a huge smile. Once my stomach is cleaned off I sit back up and my nausea is fading. The doctor prescribes me some medication to help with the morning sickness and I am under strict instructions to keep my fluids up and the doctor makes me an appointment at his office a week later. Once we get home again I get out my laptop and set up in the living room, working on my photos while Frank plays with Anna and reads to her softly until I can't keep my eyes focused anymore and I close my laptop down and stumble into the bedroom, collapsing on the bed and closing my eyes, my hands coming down to rest over my stomach as I drift off to sleep.

When I wake up again Frank is laying beside me, his fingers carding through my hair as he watches me sleep. "Hey sleeping beauty" he greets me when I open my eyes and we smile at each other before he leans down and presses his lips to mine in a soft kiss. "You are so incredible baby" he whispers to me and I smile wider as my hand slides down to my stomach again and Franks slides down to rest over mine. "I can't believe how amazing this is. I want you to have a million of our babies." I chuckle as I say "I don't know if I wanna have a million, I think maybe the two would be good." "Only two babe?" "How about you have the next one?" I joke and he chuckles and says "And ruin this hot body?" Causing me to laugh hard. When I calm down again Frank is pouting at me again and I giggle as I say "Aww baby you're incredibly sexy, I wouldn't want to ruin your sexy body." He smiles at me and leans in for a kiss which I immediately return, our tongues tangling together and we start to make out heatedly, rolling around on the bed as our hands trail all over each other's bodies. We don't take it any further than kisses and touching, just loving the feeling of being close to each other until we hear Anna shriek and gurgle, signalling she's awake and when I get off the bed and pick her up she makes a little "ga" noise and I smile as her sounds are starting to really develop and I'm getting so excited for when she'll talk.
