A Wife's Crush

Get Me On A Plane

"Girl I am always here for you. I can't believe your pregnant! I really hope it all works out for you. Don't be nervous about telling Henry. what will be will be and I will be here if you need me okay?"  

I was a bag of nerves the whole journey to the airport, I messaged Jim to say I was coming out earlier then planned and wanted to surprise Henry so he said he would pick me up and take me to Henry's house. I tired to sleep on the plane but found it so difficult so I ended up re-watching the US Office for the 1000th time, having something nice and warm hearted to watch settled me slightly. I drifted off to sleep about 9 hours into the flight managing to get about an hours sleep before waking with my stomach rumbling.

I landed in Malibu at 10:30pm and took me about an hour to get through and collect my luggage, I was so tired and felt sick from not eating much due to nerves. I headed out into the crisp air and took in a deep breath, I looked in front of me and saw a massive black SUV door open and out stepped Jim, he headed over to me with a friendly smile. 

"Liv it's so good to see you. He will be so surprised." He took my suitcase and we headed towards the car. "So good to see you Jim, how is he doing? I can't wait to see him." I climbed into the back of the huge car and settled into the comfy seats. "He's been busy with filming, didn't get back till later tonight but I left him just going over things for tomorrow. He has been quiet without you round that's for sure. I know he tried calling you earlier and your phone was off he got a bit worried, he honestly will be happy to see you. Don't tell him I told you this but I haven't seem him this happy in a long time." Tears stared to well in my eyes, we were in such a good place what if this baby will ruin everything. What if tonight is the last time I see Henry, what if he wants nothing to do with me after this. My heart would break!

Henry's home was about an hour from the airport and Jim is such a nice guy to talk to, we chatted all the way and it did make me feel less nervous. We had stopped at a set of traffic lights and was chatting about Jim's family when the lights went green, as we started to drive again a sudden bang knocked us sideward  and I felt the door bang into the side of me and glass shatter around me as I put my hands up to my face feeling the glass go into my hands. We continued to move sideward and then felt a bang to the right of me as we had hit something else and brought us to a stop, my head was pounding and my ears ringing. I could faintly hear Jim call my name before I passed out.

I remember getting to the hospital and I had a terrible headache and could see blood on my clothes and hands. They put me in a private room and put me up to machines to check my over. It's all very faint as I was in and out of sleep, I spoke to a doctor and advised her that I was pregnant so she said they would get an ultrasounds done to make sure all was okay.

I was laying in the bed on my phone messaging Rachel and Matthew to let them know what had happened and that I was okay, just needed to be kept in over night for concussion as I hit my head that's where the blood was from and my face and hands had cuts on them from the glass. Also to let them know I requested an ultrasound to check on the baby, I was about to ring Henry when I heard a mans panicky voice in the hallway and knew straight away it was him. He came through the door breathing heavily and worry in his eyes.

"Oh my god Liv!!" He rushed over to the bed and pulled me into his arms.

"Surprise!!!" I softly spoke and squeezed him tight not caring about the pain, he moved back to sit on the bed placing his hands on my face.

"I got the call about Jim and when I got here he said you were her and I ran straight to you! Are you okay? Please tell me you're alright? Jim is in such a state worried about you!! I started to worry no one had updated me on Jim.

"Henry is Jim okay?" I started to tear up and Henry gently rubbed my cheek.

"He's fine, a car ran a red light and it hit your side, he's more worried about you. He said you passed out ad they whisked you ahead of him." He lent forward and gave me a small kiss.

"I'm glad he's okay, we were going to surprise you! I missed you so much Henry." The tears started to come in heavy now and he pulled me back into his arms.

" Don't cry my love. my heart sunk when I found out you were in the car." There was a knock on the door and  as Henry moved back I could see the Doctor coming in with an ultrasound machine.

"Miss Clarke is now a bad time?" I cleared my throat and looked at Henry.

"Is she okay? What's the machine for is something wrong?" I looked at the doctor, I didn't want her to mention the baby so I quickly jumped in.

"Henry it's just procedure to check I'm okay. You go check on Jim tell him I'm okay and come back after okay?" He looked at the doctor and back at me.

"Okay Love. Ill be back in 10. I love you." He leaned forward and kissed me on the forehead.

"I love you too Henry"

He headed out of the room and closed the door.

"Sorry I'm ready, I haven't told him I'm pregnant yet." I shuffled in the bed as the doctor wheeled the machine over.

"Not a problem, let's have a look make sure all is okay. I got your blood tests and all looks fine so lets just check the baby is okay." 

I lifted my gown and the doctor put a warm gel onto my stomach and started to move the machine attachment round. She did this for a few minutes in silence and I started to panic, I didn't want a baby but now knowing it was there and the thought of losing it was making me feel sad.

The doctor turned the screen to me and pointed to the screen.

"There is your little one Miss Clarke, and here is the heartbeat going strong. I would put you about 3 weeks. Congratulations. I would book yourself in with your OBGYN and go from there but for me all looks good." I started to cry happy tears and thanked the doctor.

"I am going to keep you in tonight for the knock on your head but you will be able to go home tomorrow, I will leave you to tell Daddy the happy news." I wiped away my tears as the doctor walked out and I heard Henry ask if all was okay then he turned the corner and came back into the room to sit on the side of the bed.

"Liv you're crying what's wrong. What did the doctor say." He took both my hands in his.

I cleared my throat and knew I had to tell him.

"It's all fine......... the doctor jus told me that our baby is fine!" My heart started to race and I could see Henry's eyes widen. What was he going to say. I really don't want to lose him.

He cleared his throat and dropped my hands making my panic levels rise.

"Did you say our baby? We.....were having a baby?" I could see tears form in his eyes as he moved forward and kissed me with tears falling down our cheeks then he pulled me in for a hug.

"Henry are you mad at me. I only found out yesterday that's why I came out, it needed to be said face to face! If you don't want to be in it's life or mine anymore I completely understand." He moved backwards and his eyes were red.

"Liv I love you! this is the most amazing news. I know we haven't known each other for long but this is honestly the most amazing news! I love you and were having a baby!" I started to cry as he grabbed my hands kissing them both and relief fell over me and I could finally breathe again.

"Oh Henry I thought you would hate me or think I planned this or something, thought I would lose you!" 

"You will never lose me Liv. I'm so happy." 

He placed his hand on my stomach and said

"We are going to be a family and this little one is going to be so loved." Then he kissed me and laid next to me on the bed. 

He stayed with me that night and we both fell asleep with his hand on my stomach.
