Chapter 23: You + Me = We

Start from the beginning
                                    

Once we arrived at the emergency department of the hospital, things went pretty quickly.
Hailey was hooked up to IV fluids.
They took way to much of her blood for tests.
I wasn't happy about that, she was pale enough.
I so badly wanted to open my mouth and complain...but I promised to behave.
They ran an EKG of her heart too.
At least that came out normal.
While we waited for all her lab tests to come back, Hails fell asleep.
I called her parents to update them.
They were in New York and were about to fly out.
I told them to wait until her tests came back, that the doctor said she probably just had the flu.
I promised to take care of her and update them as soon as we knew.
I called my Mom too.
Basically said the same thing.
Allison and Scooter showed up.
I refused to leave Hailey's side, but I didn't want to wake her up.
So even though we were all in the room together, I made them text our conversation.
Allison: I can't believe your making me text u rn.
Me: Hails needs to sleep.
What's the big freaking deal anyway?
Chillllllll🤐
Scooter: U seriously texting us to chillllll... I'm pretty sure everyone at Ellen thinks your insane.
Me:don't care
When she passed out...I lost it.
Allison: she's gonna be ok Justin. I'm sorry this happened. I feel so bad.
Me: don't you be sorry.  Al u did nothing wrong. I'm just overprotective. I love u.
Allison: love u too. And I love Hails so so much.
Scooter: what about me?
U love me?😘
Btw...your beyond overprotective.
Me: shut it. U know I love u.
Just not as much as Hailey or Al😜
Scooter:🤔🤔🤔🤔
Allison: when will the test results be back
Me: who the heck knows
Scooter: they need to fucking hurry
Me: language sir🤨
Allison: Bieber...u serious?
U probably said "fuck" a thousand times today.
Me: oops😯😏
Scooter: exactly mr.fucking Bieber 😌
Me: ha ha fucking ha.
Go handle the media...I'll text u when I know.
Love u both.
They hugged me and left me to watch over my snoring (loudly) girl.
I ended up falling asleep with my head on her lap.
I was woken up by the doctor.
"Hailey, I've got good news. You don't have the flu.
Your lab tests show that your dehydrated.
The IV fluids should help with that.
But I think you may want to hear the rest of the results in private."
The fuck he say?
I ain't going nowhere.
What don't these medical motherfuckers get?
"Justin can stay. He's my fiance.
So what's wrong with me then?
I thought for sure it was the flu"
I gave the doc a smug look.
Ha ha... I'm staying doc.
"Oh well good. I didn't realize he was your boyfriend.
Your HCG levels are extremely elevated.
It's actually quite common to get dehydrated easily in the first trimester.
Some women experience severe sickness.
Even pass out."
HCG what?
First Trimester?
I didn't understand a word this guy was saying?
"Doc, what kind of disease is HCG?
Is it contagious?
How did she get it?
How do we cure it?"
I looked at the doctor expectantly.
He looked at me like I had two heads.
I looked at Hailey.
She was getting paler by the second.
"What is going on?"
Hails put her finger to her lips.
Basically telling me to shut it.
I did.
She started mumbling
"It can't be.  It can't.
How? We're so fucking stupid.
This isn't happening."
I was completely confused now.
"What is happening!"
At the same time they both spoke.
"She's pregnant "
"I'm pregnant "
Say what?
I mean I heard them.
I did.
But it didn't quite register in my brain.
"How?"
The doctor gave me a "are you stupid look" and excused himself.
"I think you know how Ogre.
But I just can't believe it either.
I didn't even realize it until now, with the new house and everything, I'm late on my period."
I still wasn't getting it.
"Hails, we use protection. This past month alone we've gone through over two boxes of condoms. It has to be an error."
She dead face looked at me.
"The night you proposed.
Babe, there's no error.
I'm pregnant."
That's when I finally got it.
Light bulb turned on.
I remember that night all to well.
There was nothing between us that night.
And it was all my fault.
I did this to her.
"I'm sorry.
This is my fault. Your sick because of me.
I did this to you. "
She of course acted like the adult.
"We did this.
Together.
Babe, what do we do?"
She was crying now.
I wanted to cry.
But I wasn't sad.
Weird.
I was surprisingly happy.
"We're having a baby."
"You've got my baby in there."
I pointed to her stomach like it was
exhibit A.
A big smile creeping over my face.
"But we're too young Justin.
What do we tell our parents?
The world?"
"This is crazy!"
Her hands were flying all around as she went on and on.
"Hailey
Do you love me?"

"You know I do."

"Well I love you, more than anything.
And we're having a baby."

"But..."

"No babe. This might not be the way we wanted to plan it.
But life happens.
And our baby is going to be so loved.
So fucking loved."

"Justin we're really gonna do this?
Are we ready for this?"

"Babe, I hate to tell you...but we already did it.
Well...I did...
And we'll get ready.
We have time babe."

"Justin we have 9 months or 8.
Omg...8 months.
I'm pregnant with your baby!
And in 8 months he'll be here!
Not enough time!"

"Hailey Rhode Baldwin.
Calm down.
First, it's a she.
Second, I'm marrying you as soon as possible.
Third, fuck everyone else.
And last, my baby girl is in there.
So I can't swear to much anymore,
But I fucking love you!"

I kissed her harder than I should have.
But then I kissed her belly softer.
"I love you too, princess."
Hails swatted me away from her stomach.
"Don't call our son that!"
This was going to be fun.
8 months and counting.
Baby Bieber was coming!

 Baby Bieber was coming!

A/N: I couldn't resist. Maybe because I want them to have a baby already in real life.
Justin is going to be a kick ass father.
