"Ugh... Des. What's wrong with me?" I complained as I flushed the toilet standing up as I wiped my mouth carefully.

"Have you and Opie been using protection?" Des asked me.

I thought for a moment. We got home from our week long honeymoon at the cabin five weeks ago. My last period was two weeks before that... "Des call Tara tell her to meet me at St. Thomas." I said in a hurry.

She nodded and ran out of the room to make the call as I bent over the toilet retching once again. When I finished I headed out and Des and I got into the truck and headed to St. Thomas.

I arrived at Tara's office and she immediately took me into an exam room. "What was the first day of your last period?" She asked.

"September twenty nineth. It ended on October fourth." I told her.

"You haven't had one since?" She asked. I shook my head. "I'm gonna draw blood and page for Dr. Addams to do an ultrasound." She told me and I nodded.

Tara called the other doctor first then drew my blood. She sent it down with a rush order on it just as Dr. Addams came in. "Dr. Knowles, you paged for me?" He asked.

Tara nodded and proceeded to explain it to him and he agreed to do a quick ultrasound. Des and Tara came with me down to the imaging department and sat with me as I got situated for my ultrasound. Dr. Addams sat beside me and squirted the warm gel on my belly. He began to look around before stopping and clicking some buttons. He turned the screen to us and it was very obvious what was there. "Congratulations Mrs. Winston. You are indeed pregnant. About seven to eight weeks by the looks of it." He smiled at me.

My face went pale and I felt sick. I jumped off the bed and ran for the garbage dry heaving. Tara came and held my hair, rubbing my back softly. "Let's get you home sweetie." She told me.

I nodded as I stood up and the girls helped me to the truck. Desireé drove us home and Tara followed us in her SUV. We got home and Opie's bike was in the driveway. "Are you gonna tell him?" Tara asked as we headed to the door and she handed me the ultrasound photos that we got.

I nodded, my nerves were on high right now. I clutched the photos and paperwork in my hands and walked in the door. I could hear Opie rustling around in the bedroom and I motioned for the girls to wait.

I shakily padded toward the bedroom and closed the door behind me. Opie turned toward me smiling but when he saw the look on my face he expression quickly changed to concern. "Alyssa? What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"O-Opie... I uh... I-" I just shook my head and handed him the strip of ultrasound photos and the bloodwork results.

He looked at me confused and looked down at the items I handed him. I stood there and fiddled with my fingers as he read the paperwork. In a rush he unfolds the strip of ultrasound photos. He just stood there staring at them for a moment before looking up at me. I was shaking I was so anxious. He set the items down on the bed and pulled me to his chest. I finally broke down and cried clutching at Opie for comfort. "Shh baby. It'll be alright." He told me softly.

"No it won't Opie!" I cried, terrified as my mind raced through all the worst scenarios. "What if the same thing happens Opie. What if this one is still born? Or miscarried? Or passes from SIDS? Opie, I can't do that again." I sobbed into his chest.

"Alyssa, you're overthinking this baby. Don't stress yourself out." He tried to comfort me. "I can't tell you that it won't happen as much as I wish I could but baby, things could be different this time. Everything could go perfectly this time for all we know. Alyssa, you've gotta look on the bright side of this. We're having a baby Lyss." He told me pulling back and making me look at him. He had a soft smile on his face.

I wiped my eyes and met his. "You're excited about this?" I asked.

"Baby, I'm so fucking happy. We get to have a baby together. Sure, I'm terrified baby, I'm worried we'll go through the same thing we did with Caylee. But, I've gotta stay hopeful. All I've ever wanted was a family with you baby, and even though we have one I want to have a beautiful baby that's half of me and half of you. I'm sure Tara will take you on and get you with some of the best doctors in the area to prevent anything. We will figure this out baby. Things will be okay." He told me, hope and terror glinting in his eyes.

I nodded and hugged him again, now I could feel a smile crossing my lips as I pulled back. "We're having a baby..." I said quietly looking down at my belly.

"Yes we are." He replied moving so he could place a open hand on my flat belly.

After our little moment we headed back out, both of us smiling ear to ear and Tara and Des smiled at us. "Lyssa, I'm gonna put you under my care because I know your past history already. I'll do my absolute best to take care of you and this baby." Tara told me stepping up to hug me.

"Thank you." I hugged her. "I wanna keep this quiet for a few more weeks guys. Okay?" All three of them nodded but smiled at me.

"We'll do another ultrasound at fourteen weeks to be safe and make sure everything looks good." Tara confirmed.

"Thanks guys for all the help." I told Des and Tara.

"We're your best friends Alyssa. We'll always be here." Des said to me.

I smiled back at them and Opie wrapped his arms around my waist. The girls bid us goodbye and left smiling. Opie spun me around and hugged me to his chest. "I love you so much Alyssa. Thank you." He told me rubbing my back.

"I love you too Opie. But why thank me?" I asked.

"For taking on my two kids then giving me another baby. Marrying me. Everything Alyssa." He told me with a wide smile.

"Don't thank me for that Ope. I love all of you. All four of you." I told him stepping back to place my hands on my belly.

Opie smiled at me and cupped my cheeks, bringing his lips down on mine. "I love you." He whispered against my lips.

"I love you too." I mumbled back before kissing him back.

I could only hope and pray that everything was going to be okay. That we could do this and our baby would be perfect, healthy and happy.
