In Between The Alphas -
Chapter 57
I slept in Logan's room again. It's become a weird part of our daily ritual and neither of us seems to mind it much. It's pretty convenient because I fall asleep easier in Logan's bed than in mine. It might have something to do with all the body heat I get from him but I don't really know. Last night I had actually planned on sleeping in my own room so I could think on his offer but I knew I would need the best sleep I could get after the text I received from Diana.
It read: Appointment is by l in the afternoon and we can get the results immediately.
Logan being the ever perceptive person he is noticed the switch in my mood the instant it happened and immediately turned off the TV and pulled me into his arms and within moments I was asleep.
"What are you thinking about?" Diana asked as she drove to the appointment and I looked away from the window long enough to shrug.
Logan gave us both the entire day off but we refused mainly because we didn't want to spend the day thinking about the possibilities and what they would mean. We spent the entire morning at the daycare and once we're done at the appointment we are going back there.
“Come on, your quietness is making me nervous," she said.
"I'm always quiet Diana." I said but I lifted my head from the window and turned to her. "Besides I don't know what to say."
"Just say anything that comes to mind."
"The only thing in my head right now is the appointment and the possibility that one of us might be pregnant:"
"I know and I don't care," she said, "You can say anything you want but I just need you to fill the silence please,"
I sighed because a part of me understood what she meant. The silence was suffocating for me as well but I'm used to it and knew how to ignore it so I said the first thing that popped into my head.
"Logan asked me to be his," I said and I saw her turn to me with wide eyes before quickly turning back to the road.
"Logan asked you to be his?" she asked and I nodded, "His what?"
"His girlfriend," I shrugged, "I don't know; his exact words were be mine"
"When was this and why the hell am I just finding out?"
"It happened just yesterday, relax." I began, "He noticed my behavior was off and just took care of me I guess then he asked me after I was calm."
"I want to ask how he took care of you but I think I already know the answer" she said as she wiggled her brows and I rolled my eyes.
"Shut up.
"Does he know about-" she trailed off and I nodded.
"I told him when he asked, I said that there was a possibility."
"And what did he say?"
"He said he didn't care if I was pregnant or if it wasn't his." I said and I saw a proud smile grow on her face.
"That is absolutely beautiful," she gushed, "Please tell me you said yes," she said and I must have waited too long to respond because she shot me a bland look," Don't tell me you said no."
"I didn't say no," I said and when she started to smile I quickly cut in, "But I didn't say yes either. I told him I would let him know after the appointment."
"Are you going to say yes?" she asked and I shrugged, "Who am I kidding, of course you will."
I just rolled my eyes at her but didn't deny it.
"What will you do if you are pregnant?" she asked and I shrugged, "Will you keep it?"
"I think we should find out if I'm pregnant first before thinking about options." I said and she nodded but deep down I knew that even if I was pregnant I wouldn't be able to stomach getting rid of it. "Hi, we have an appointment under Britt." Diana said and the woman at the desk flashed her a bright smile.
"Of course," she said, "The doctor will see you in room 5"
We thanked the lady and made our way to room 5 and knocked softly before pushing it in and we came face to face with a calm faced lady. She had her salt and pepper hair tied up in a bun and really kind blue eyes. "Hello Diana," she said, "And this must be Charlotte."
"Hi" we both said although my voice was softer where Diana's was more firm.
"This is Dr. Brennan," Diana said, "She's a good friend of the family."
"Please," Dr. Brennan said with a scoff, "I watched when you were born; I think I'm closer than that."
Diana flushed pink a bit, "What's the problem."
Diana explained the situation with the pregnancy tests and she frowned slightly.
"Well you both would be too far along to do a normal ultrasound but we can use a vag!inal wand," she said and from the name alone I frowned, "It is not painful at all I promise you; it's just a little discomfort." "As long as we can find out the truth now then I don't care."
"Alright," she said clapping her hands, "Which one of you wants to go first?"
"I will," Diana said immediately and she nodded.
"So Charlotte can" she began but I cut her off.
You can just call me Charlie" I said and she nodded slowly. I felt weirdly uncomfortable when people other than Logan called me Charlotte.
"Well Charlie can wait outside while I check you" she began but Diana shook her head.
"I want her with me," she said as she looked at me with hopeful eyes and I nodded.
I ended up sitting next to her and I avoided looking anywhere other than her torso so I wouldn't chicken out of doing it myself because it sounded a bit painful.
We also kept our eyes away from the screen.
"Do you want me to tell you what I've concluded?" Dr. Brennan asked and Diana shook her head.
"I want us to find out at the same time," she said and Dr. Brennan frowned but nodded anyways and gestured for Diana to get dressed.
She pulled her pants back on and got off the bed with barely restrained grace and gestured for me to go up.
"Your turn," she said with an encouraging smile.
Thankfully I wore a dress so all I had to do was pull it up and brace myself.
"You need to relax," Dr. Brennan said and I flushed pink before muttering a sorry, "It won't hurt at all."
I forced myself to relax and think about the waterfall that Logan had taken me to and that was when I felt the intrusion. It wasn't painful it just merely felt different.
Diana engaged me in a conversation while she probed around with the wand and then pulled it out of me and I let out an audible sigh of relief.
"How are you feeling?" she asked as she took off her gloves and put the wand down.
"Good," Diana said at the same time I said, "Okay."
"I just want to know that no matter what the results are you would both-"
"Just tell us already," Diana blurted then slapped a hand over her mouth immediately, "I am so sorry; I'm just nervous."
"That's fine," Dr. Brennan said with a smile,
