The Start of Something Beautiful
Love at First Sight
"Oh I'm so excited!" Anne exclaimed as we sat in the doctor's office waiting to be called back.
"Me too." I giggled.
"So what do you want it to be?" Gemma asked flipping through a magazine.
"I don't really care, as long as they're perfectly healthy."
Gemma chuckled, "You're such a mum."
I blushed, I was a mom, I couldn't believe it. In just nine short months, there would be a little Styles in the family. Curls, dimples, and green eyes would adorn the perfect little baby's features. They were ours to call our own, we would have our family.
"Mrs. Styles?" A nurse called from the open door making the three of us look up at her. "The doctor will see you now."

"Alright Mrs. Styles, have you had any troubles so far?"
"Um, I've had morning sickness the past week, but nothing too bad."
She wrote the info down on her pad as I laid on the table anxiously clutching Anne's hand. My heart was pounding against my chest, my anxiety getting the best of me. I didn't know why I was anxious, I just was. This was the first time I'd see my baby, and I just wanted everything to be perfectly fine.
The doctor stood pulling a ultra sound machine beside where I laid before sitting down in a swivel chair.
"Alright, this will be quite chilly."
The aqua green gel was squeezed onto my slightly bloated stomach before she lowered the instrument to my middle, the new sensation sending a chill down my spine. I looked to Anne who was smiling at the screen anxious to see her grandchild make an appearance on the screen.
There was a knock at the door making the doctor stop mid action.
"Um, Mrs. Styles, there's someone here for you."
For me? Who on Earth would be here?
"Would you like me to send them in?"
"Um, sure."
The door shut before opening again revealing my husband smiling widely. "Hi baby, sorry I'm late."
"Harry, what are you doing here?" I smiled as he leaned down to press a kiss to my waiting lips.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world." He stroked my hair, pressing a kiss to my forehead and settling beside me holding my hand.
"Well mummy and daddy, are you ready to see your baby?" The doctor smiled warmly already in position to begin again.
We nodded excitedly, the grip I had on Harry's hand tightening for a second.
"Alright, if you look here," she started pointing to the screen. "You'll see little baby Styles."
"Oh my god." Anne breathed clamping a hand over her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. Gemma smiled excitedly seeing her first niece or nephew for the first time.
I couldn't believe it, there was my little baby. The one Harry and I had been waiting for our entire marriage. Speechless, I turned to Harry who had tears welling up in his green eyes as he stared in awe at the screen.
"I'll give you a minute."
The doctor shuffled out of the small room as Anne and Gemma followed quickly.
I looked over at Harry, who's eyes still hadn't left the screen. Tears were rolling down his cheeks as a small smiled started to stretch on his face.
"That's our baby." He whispered, still not averting his eyes from the screen. My hand was brought to his lips, a gentle kiss was left on my knuckles. His tears were wiped away with my free hand, green eyes meeting mine filled with love. I smiled at my husband, he would be the best daddy in the world, I knew he would. The love he already had for our unborn child was amazing, making me love him even more, if possible.
"We're finally getting our family." More tears came from both of us as we continued to dwell in the special moment.
After a few more moments of staring at the screen, the doctor returned to clean my belly of the gel and give us our printed copy of the sonogram. Harry clutched onto it, absorbing it all over again as the doctor was prescribing me my prenatal vitamins and going over a proper diet. When she left, I looked to my husband.
"Harry, are you happy?"
He looked up at me, looking hurt. "Why do you think you would even have to ask? Of course I'm happy darling, I've never been happier. I just saw my child for the first time, and I still can't believe it's my child, the one I created with my amazing wife out of love."
His large hands cupped my face wiping the last few tears on my face before kissing me tenderly. Thumbs continuously stroked my cheeks even after the tears were dried as he looked at me with such love in his eyes.
His large frame crouched down in front of me, face stopping just in front of my middle. Hands at either side of my waist as he pressed a kiss right above my belly button.
"I love you little one, so so much."
"Me too." I giggled.
"So what do you want it to be?" Gemma asked flipping through a magazine.
"I don't really care, as long as they're perfectly healthy."
Gemma chuckled, "You're such a mum."

Notes
This is the second installment to my series "The Start of Something Beautiful". I got the idea for this one from geenalovesthelittlethings' one-shot series, it's very similar to hers, but no where near as good. She is a very talented writer and I enjoy reading all of her Daddy Harry one-shots, she's actually the one who inspired me to start my own series. If you like mine, you'll LOVE hers.If you have an idea for a part of the series, please feel free to tell me! I love hearing what you guys have to say!
Stay tuned for Part 3: Big Announcement.
