Chapter 52: Chapter Fifty-Two

Olivia

We're going for three months pregnancy appointment today. Jason isn't going to work today, he said he is not going to miss any appointments. I guess he's serious about him slowing down at work. He said that he and Tony are busy looking for a suitable VP, but it doesn't seem to be going well. Last I heard from him, they wrote out an advert that will expire in two months, right before the wedding. But if they find someone before then the advert will be null.

And he is the happiest man right now. It's like with every appointment, the happiest he becomes. Even Dr Smith thinks so. He joked about getting me pregnant again after the kids are a year old, I had to threaten him infront of the doctor that he would not get my coochie if that's the case, that shut him up real fast. And now I'm lying on the garney as the doctor asks me questions about how it's been going and I answer him thoroughly.

"Ok, now it's a good time to start pumping you with pills. Although I see the babies look healthy and are growing steadily." He says looking at the screen next to me.

Jason has his eyes on the screen too. He's been asking questions that surprised both the doctor and I. When he mentioned that he's been reading up pregnancy and baby books though, I felt on the verge of tears. He's really making an effort. I'm not even reading anything myself, but only because my mom has me covered in that department.

"Doc, my mom told me that it's not necessary for me to take pills." I tell him.

"And why is that?" He asks me, now looking at me.

"Well she said in our family, going back all pregnancies were carried out normal." I tell him. I don't mention that she also said I must look for a midwife to help me during the whole pregnancy. I haven't told Jason yet though.

"Well it's your choice at the end of the day. I would advise though that if you are going to do that, you eat a lot of food that have vitamins." He says.

"Are you considering it?" Jason asks me then, making his voice known.

I haven't thought much of it because I wanted to discuss it with Jason first. It's both our first kids, I don't want to shut him out on some decisions. I want him as involved as possible, especially seeing as he is taking time off work to be with me home but most importantly, he is prioritising my pregnancy. I guess it's his pregnancy also in a way.

"I actually wanted to talk to you about it. Maybe get more information about midwives first?" I answer him and he nods as if thinking about it.

"Yeah I think so too. Then we can come back to report back to the good doctor about our decision." He says looking at the doctor.

"Yes, do that and get back to me then." He tells us. He is done examining me, so we're sitting at his desk.

"I still want my pictures doc." Jason says before the doctor says anything and we both laugh.

"How could I forget about the photos." He says then walks back to the machine and retrieves the photos.

We stand up then preparing to leave as he hands Jason the photos and we bid him goodbye with word that we'd get back to him with our decision. And just like the last time, Jason is quiet in the car on our way back, staring at the photos.

"Are you going to work or straight home with me?" He didn't mention what his plans for the rest of the day were so I'm curious, although I really would appreciate having him to myself for the day.

"Oh no, no work for me today. How is the wedding planning going?" His attention is now back to me. He pulls me closer to him so we're sitting shoulder to shoulder. Honestly it's something I'm used to now. His time with his babies seem to be too important to him so I let him have it, even if it's through a photo.

"The wedding planner is doing an amazing job. She loved my theme actually, said that not a lot of people choose those colours. And apparently the name is Autumn. She said she'd be mixing orange with dull yellow and mustard." I tell him.

We arrive back at the hotel, then get on the elevator to go up. Jason says he misses my food. And I also miss cooking so when we get up, I immediately start on the food, making the meal I made him the first time I cooked for him. We finish our conversation about wedding planning as I cook and he watches me.

"What about your dress?" He asks me.

"I've decided that no one is going to see my baby bump. I'm going to look for a designer who will make sure that my dress doesn't show anything." I reply.

"What do you mean?" He looks puzzled.

"Remember that long red dress I have? The flowy one that only touches my boobs? " I ask and he nods his head. "I want that sort of dress. But for a bride. I don't know where I'm going to get a designer who can get my dress ready before the wedding though." I tell him.

I've already started looking for designers, the ones that I had found told me they're also fully booked. Honestly at this point I think I will buy a white ordinary dress similar to the one I want and just wear it for my wedding. No one will say anything. And if my Jason approve then I don't care what anyone else says. It's my wedding.

"Have you asked the wedding planner?" He asks me, and I did but she was no help.

"All the contacts she gave me did nothing for me. They're all fully booked." I tell him.

"Maybe you should look for designers outside the country then, that might help." He suggests and I like that idea.

"AaHhh you are a genius. I will make calls out tomorrow and see if I can get someone." I reply happily.

Now this is my department. I also can't wait for the house to be finished. The guys are working fast though, which makes me happy and hopeful that it will be done before the wedding. I also have a baby room to design, honestly I have a lot of work to do.
