IWSYT 23
by ~ElviraTepesZacky POV
After sending the picture of Riley and Ryan to friends and family I went into the bathroom to relieve myself. As I sat down I felt something slip out glad that I made it to the bathroom in time. My guess is that the sympathy contractions were making my body work on overload. I sighed as it slid out. I heard splashing beneath me and stood enough to look. I gasped seeing the cord between my legs and pushed the emergency button.
I picked up the tiny being and gasped in shock and horror. I was pregnant with Ryan... I had a baby inside me. I looked and noticed it was a girl. As nurses ran in I heard Ryan demanding to know what was going on but I was too shocked to answer and the nurses were busy detaching me and the baby. They had me sitting on the floor as they cut the cord and had me push out the placenta.
A nurse ran out holding the baby and another helped me stand. Ryan was crying still confused. I stopped the nurse. "Ry, I'll be back I promise. It seems I need to be checked over..." he looked confused. "Ry, I just had a baby...."
Ryan POV
I nodded dumbly as a nurse lead Zacky away. Did I hear him right? Did he have a baby in the bathroom? Do we really have two kids? How did we not know? Is it ok? Is Zacky ok? Why won't anyone tell me anything?! I whimpered wishing I could help in some way. I looked at Riley who was squirming in my arms. "Easy Riley, we're ok. Daddy's ok." I said most likely lying to my son.
Zack POV
I was put on a hospital bed a few rooms from Ryan as nurses took care of the baby girl. I sighed as I felt a hand inside my anal canal. I winced a little bit. "Easy Mr. Baker you're ok. I'm just checking for tears. So far I can't find anything." I nodded as my head swam.
I had a baby... Inside my body for the past 9 months and I had no idea. I had no prenatal checkups like Ryan; I had no care for the baby at all. I got drunk, laid on my stomach, had coffee... I'm a bad parent! What have I done! Is the baby ok? Will she have problems? Will she have ADD? Will she be autistic? Will she be retarded? If anything happens to her I will hate myself for eternity.
After the nurse finished my exam another nurse walked over holding a tiny pink bundle. "Mr. Baker it's time to meet your daughter." I gasped as she laid my daughter in my arms. "She is 8 Lbs. 9 ounces and 19 inches long. From what we can tell she is very healthy."
I nodded and my fingers rubbed her scalp. "Is there a chance I can be in the same room as my husband? He's probably freaking out wondering what happened. Please just take me to my husband. He deserves to meet our daughter."
"Alright Mr. Baker, just hang tight we'll get you to your husband's room in a minute." I nodded and gasped when our daughter latched on, on her own and started feeding from me. "That is a good sign." She said looking at me and the baby. "I'll go get things ready." She walked out and I was left with the baby in my arms.
I looked down at the tiny girl in my arms as she fed from me. "Hello little girl, I'm daddy... You hid from us all.... Wait til mommy and Riley meet you. They'll love you. And you need a name my love." My fingers played with the hair on her head. "So, um, I know the past 9 month of your life hasn't exactly been ideal. I'm sorry for that my love. If I had known... I would have gone off coffee cold turkey. I would've eaten right and the motorcycle wouldn't have been the vehicle I drove...." I wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry."
The nurse came back. "Ok Mr. Baker, time to join your husband." she pulled my bed away from the wall then drove me off towards Ryan's room. When I got inside Ryan was sitting up and I could tell he had been crying due to his red rimmed, swollen eyes. "Here we are." She pushed the beds as close together as she could.
When she left us I looked over at Ryan. "Hey." He sniffled at me. "Ry? Are you mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad at you Zacky?! It's not your fault I cried, oh wait it is your fault!" I sighed and reached my free out towards him. "Touch me and you will be pulling back a bloody stump!" I pulled my hand back knowing he meant it. He hugged looking at Riley. Then he glared at me. "What is wrong with you!? Why could you not send someone to tell me what happened? You had to wait 45 fucking minutes?! For all I knew you could be fucking dead! Then someone comes in finally and says you had a baby girl! I thought you couldn't carry Zack!? So if you can't carry how did you fucking have a baby!? Did you lie to me about your test results?! Did you decide that I should have a high risk pregnancy just so you could get your jollies?! You lied to me the whole time!"
"Ry. Please love give me a ch-"
"DO NOT CALL ME RY OR LOVE! I AM NEITHER TO YOU ZACK BAKER!"
"Ryan! I didn't know I was pregnant! Unlike you I had no symptoms! I had no cravings, I had no weight gain, I had no morning sickness! How the fuck was I to know!? Unless you have X-Ray vision and forgot to tell me there was no way to know! You think I don't feel bad enough!? I had coffee 5 times a fucking day and soda! You of all people should know those items are banned for pregnant people due to the caffeine! If I knew about her do you really think I would drink those? If I knew wouldn't I have gotten prenatal care? If I knew my motorcycle would have been parked in the garage for my whole god fucking damn pregnancy! I wouldn't do anything that would have hurt her if I knew!"
"Her? It's a girl?" I nodded. "What are you gonna name her?" he tried to act nonchalant.
"I was hoping we could name her together. She is our baby Ryan. She hid in me for this long. She knows us, she needs us. But if you really want me to I'll give her up for adoption. I just want to make you happy Ryan. I don't... I don't want us to fight like this. In all the time we've been together, we've only fought twice. Today, and on the plane to Hawaii. I love you more than anything in the world. You are my reason for living Ryan. You make me happy when I wake in the morning and see you calm, peaceful face. I don't want something like this to ruin everything. I will do anything you want just so I can keep you Ryan." I bit my lip awaiting an answer. "Well?"
He leaned over and looked at the tiny girl in my arms. "We keep her; she is a Baker just like Riley." He sniffled again. "How about we name her Lynette Lacy?"
I shook my head. "No stealing my niece's middle name."
He blushed. "Oops, um.... what about Hope Lacy Baker?" I smiled. "Our little Hope." I nod smiling again.
"When she's done with her meal.... Do you want to hold her? I'll hold Riley." He nodded happily. "Love you Ry." I leaned over and kissed him happily as the babies fed from us.
