Chapter 18: We're Pregnant
As I lay in bed I began to feel uneasy. I got up and as soon as I did I felt like I was going to throw up. I ran into the bathroom and barely made it to the toilet before I threw up. Coughing and spluttering I felt like I was going to die. It just kept coming and coming and I couldn't stop throwing up. After about 5 minutes with my head in the toilet I finally stopped. I flushed the toilet and wiped my mouth. Going back into the bedroom I saw Tom fast asleep. I loved watching him sleep. My gorgeous husband. Even now 3 months after I got married it felt strange to call him my husband. Since we had been married Tom and B'Elanna had got married, Tom went into a coma after Tuvok had been brainwashed and we had another run in with Hirogen. But amongst all of that we still had time to do it constantly. Any spare moment we had we were constantly having sex to try to for a baby. I got back into bed, I had no idea why I was being sick. For the last week or so I had been feeling uneasy but this was the first time I had been sick. Must have been some of Neelix's stew. An hour later the computer woke me and Tom and we got up. "Did you get up in the night?" Tom asked me as we were in the shower. "No, why?" I said. I didn't like to lie to him but I didn't want to worry him. "I could have sworn I heard you get up. Must have been a dream or something." He said. I kissed him and said "Were you worried about little old me." I said. "Of course." He said playfully pulling me in for another kiss and biting my neck. "We don't have time." I said. "No we don't you're right, but we will tonight." He said. We exited the shower and went into the bedroom. Having got dressed I made our bed and this made me a little queasy. Having tidied the quarters Tom and I made our way up to the mess hall. Walking in I saw Neelix wiping up some eggs. "Good Morning Neelix." I said smiling causing Tom to look at me funny. "Jack, good morning. What will it be?" he said. "Scrambled eggs on toast please." I said grabbing a cup and pouring me and Tom so coffee. We went over and sat together as Neelix brought over the breakfast. "Here you are." Said Neelix bringing the breakfasts and putting a flower in a small vase between us. This was a great little thing he did for us.
After eating breakfast we went our separate ways. He went down to engineering as I went up to the bridge. I made my way over to the console and Janeway came out from her ready room. "Good Morning Captain." I said smiling. "Jack." She said looking at me funny. What was so strange about me being happy. She walked over and said "Are you feeling okay?" I looked at her. "Sure why?" I asked. "You seem unusually happy. It must all those spare you moments you have with Tom eh?" she said wiggling her eyebrows. I smiled and suddenly I had a wave of nausea come over. Then it came out. I threw up all over the floor on the bridge. "Jack?" said Janeway looking worried. When I stopped being sick, which thankfully someone had put a container in front of me to stop me being sick on the floor, the captain said "Let's get you to sickbay. Commander will you get on to maintenance, to get that cleaned up." Janeway said looking at the sick I had left on the floor by my station. I carried the container with me as the captain and I walked into the turbolift. Riding the turbolift down to Deck 5 I threw up twice more. The turbolift was making me queasy. We finally got into sickbay and the doctor looked up. "Captain what's the problem?" he said looking at me. "It's Jack." She said. I sat down on the bio-bed as the sickbay doors opened and in walked Tom. "Baby, Chakotay just told me you were sick on the bridge." He said coming over to me. "I'm sure it's nothing." I said. The doctor came over and kind of budged Tom and Kathryn out of the way. He scanned me and then looked up smiling. "What? What is it?" I said. "I have some news for you, but would you like Tom and the Captain present?" he said. "Doctor just tell me." I said. "Very well, you're pregnant." He said. My jaw just dropped. I was gob smacked. "I'm what?" I said hoping that he would repeat it. "You're pregnant Lieutenant." He said again. I looked at Tom who was jumping around. "I'm gunna be a father, I'm gunna be a father." He shouted. "Congratulations Jack, this is wonderful news." Said Janeway hugging me. "Tom calm down. Come here." I said. He stopped and came over and I kissed him. He then gave me a hug. "We're going to be parents." I said. "I can't believe it." He said smiling.
"The foetus appears to be about 6 weeks old and doing very well. So are you." Said the doctor. "And the sickness was?" I said. "Morning sickness, but that should end after the first trimester." He replied. "How long until it's due?" asked Tom. "Well as I mentioned to Jack a few months ago, this pregnancy should last 30 weeks. So in another 24 weeks you will have a healthy baby." He told us smiling. Inside me there was a person growing. It was so strange. "Is it a boy or a girl?" I asked. "Are we sure we want to know?" asked Tom. "Yes, could you honestly say you would want to wait 24 weeks to find out." I said. "You're right, well doc?" asked Tom. "It's a boy." He said making me smile even more. "Is he healthy?" I asked. "Very Healthy." He told me. "Okay I'm done here, I would recommend that you come see me once a day for your injection to stop you throwing up everywhere." Said the doctor smiling pressing an hypospray into my neck. "Can we keep this between us, at least for a while." I said to Tom, The Doctor and Kathryn. "You bet." They all said. I got up and walked out with Tom and the Captain, smiling. Tom went back to engineering as B'Elanna would be on shift at 08:30 and I went back to the bridge with the captain. As soon as we arrived everyone looked at me. "What's wrong Jack?" asked Chakotay. "Oh nothing just something I ate." I said smiling. "Sorry about that everyone." I said. "Sickbay to Paris." Said the doctor over the comm. "Go ahead doc." He said. "Could you come down here I need you." The doc said. "On my way." Said Paris releasing the helm to another crewmen. It was good half an hour after Paris had been called to sickbay when we found out why. B'Elanna was pregnant according to Seven of Nine. This was strange finding out on the same day. The captain, Chakotay and I all left the bridge and surprised B'Elanna in engineering. "Have you checked the warp core for radiation leaks today?" asked Chakotay. "No why?" asked B'Elanna. "You have a certain glow about you." He said smiling. "Okay who told you?" asked B'Elanna. "We just heard congratulations." Said Janeway as she and I came out from behind a post. We hugged each other and she looked at me and said "Oh my god so are you?" I looked at Janeway and Chakotay. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I can sense it, you're pregnant aren't you." She said out loud causing everyone to look at me. "Way to go B'Elanna we wanted to keep it private." Said Tom from over the other side of Engineering. "So you are?" asked B'Elanna. I smiled. "Ahhh." She screamed hugging me. "So is that why you were sick?" asked Chakotay. "Yeah, morning sickness." I said. "Is it bad?" asked B'Elanna and suddenly we went into baby mode. "Guys, do you want the day off." Asked Janeway. I looked at B'Elanna and we nodded. "Yeah." I said. "Very well, you 2 and the 2 Tom's are off duty." She said smiling. Tom walked up and joined us and together the three of us walked out of engineering.
As we sat in the mess hall people kept looking at us or coming over and saying congratulations. The 2 Tom's were talking away about being a father as were me and B'Elanna. "Do you know what you're having?" I asked. "No I didn't want to know how about you?" she told me. "Yes we're having a baby boy." I said smiling. "Oh that's wonderful." She said smiling. "Lieutenants Paris, Torres and Carter and Ensign Walker, could all you please report to sickbay." Said the doctor over the comm. We all looked at each other and left. As we walked down the corridor and into the turbolift I had this feeling that something was wrong. A few minutes later we arrived in sickbay and saw two holograms spinning. One was of a spine which was deviated and the other was of a foetus. "Doctor." I said. "Ah, hey guys." He said. "What's the problem?" asked Paris. "Each of your babies unfortunately have a slight problem." Said the doctor. "What sort of problem?" I asked. "Okay, the image on the left is a holographic representation of Tom and B'Elanna's babies spine approximately 10 months after birth." Said the doctor. "It's deviated." Said B'Elanna. "Yes there is a pronounced curvature to the left." Said the doctor. "Is it serious?" asked Paris. "I had surgery for it when I was a baby." Said B'Elanna. "I didn't know that." Said Paris. "My mother had it too." Said B'Elanna. "It tends to run in klingon families. Especially among females." Said the doctor. "Are you saying that this baby is girl?" asked Paris. "No I didn't say that." Said the doctor. "But it is a girl." Asked Paris. "You cannot infer that." Said the doctor. "It's okay you might as well just tell us." Said B'Elanna. "Yes it's a girl and aside from the deviated spine she's healthy." Said the doctor. "Will she need surgery?" asked Paris. "Fortunately we have advanced beyond that, genetic modification is the treatment of choice." Said the doctor. He paused then turned to us. "As for the two of you, don't be worried it's a minor problem. This is a holographic representation of your baby as it will be approximately 2 months from now. I have found that your baby has a problem with his genitals." The doc told us causing me to get more worried. "What sort of problem?" asked Tom. "As he is developing in your womb, one of his testicles won't fully descend and as a result this could cause problems in the future." He told us. "So what do we do?" I asked. "The same as with B'Elanna we will use genetic modification to repair the defect, so that he will develop with both testicles fully descended." He said. "That's good I wouldn't my little man to start out at a disadvantage with the ladies." Said Tom making me and B'Elanna smile. "I have booked you both in for tomorrow morning at 08:00." Said the doctor. "Okay, is that everything?" I asked. "You bet." Said the doctor. "Before we go, is there any chance you could use the genetic data to show us the whole baby." Asked Paris. "Oh I don't know." Said B'Elanna. "Come on aren't you curious." Said Paris. "Okay" she said. "Jack, Tom would you like the same." Asked the doctor. I looked at tom who nodded and smiled. "Yes please." I said. The doctor worked the controls and there appeared two babies. One boy, one girl. Tom and B'Elanna moved over to their baby as me and tom did the same. "He's beautiful." I said. "Yeah he is, and he's all ours." Said tom putting his arm around me. "Looks like he will take after you." I said. "How so?" he asked. "With the cute face and black hair." I said. "The hair yes, but he gets that cute face from his mommy." He said kissing me. "Mommy?" I asked. "Daddy, sorry." He said smiling. "Well I guess I am both." I said.
As Tom and I climbed into bed that evening I was so tired. "What a day." Said tom. "I know all this excitement has taken its toll on me today." I said. He moved over to me in the bed and put his hand on my belly. "I'm never going to get tired of doing this you know that right?" he said. Already today he had been touching my belly constantly as had Tabor and Luke. "You know that after this baby is born we won't have a free moment for another 18 years." He said making me smile. "We will find time I promise." I said. "Have you given any thought to godparents?" he asked me. "I have actually have you?" I asked. "I was actually going to leave it up to you." He said. "really well I was thinking as a godmother we could ask the captain and I would like the godfather to be Tabor." I said. "I like those choices, have you asked either of them." He asked. "Not yet I was going to speak with you first." I said. "Well when you next speak with them ask them." He said rubbing my belly. I giggled. "What?" he asked. "You know I'm very ticklish." I said. He continued to do making me giggle even more. "Stop." I said starting to laugh. I heard the door chime and we got out of bed and put on our dressing gowns. "Come in." I said. The door opened and in walked Garren and Tabor. "Hi guys." I said. "Sorry to just stop by, but when I told Garren that I had seen you and felt your belly he got a bit jealous. I think he wants some baby action." Said Tabor. "Not all, have a seat." I said gesturing for the chairs as Tom and I sat on the couch. I looked at Tom who got up "Go on feel it, it's really awesome." He said to Garren. Garren got up and came and sat next to me. He held out his hand but was nervous to actually place his hand on my belly. I took his hand and he laid it on top of my dressing gown. "Wow." He said. "It feels better to feel it when he's topless. Go on Jack." Said Tom. I opened up my dressing gown. Thankfully I was in my boxers and I took Garren's hand and placed it on my belly. "That's so weird. I can almost feel him moving inside you." He said. "I have to admit, I can barely feel him, but the doctor says that will change over the next week or so as I start to get bigger." I said. I looked at Tabor and said "Come on feel it." I said. He came over and placed his hand on my belly. He loved the feel of it I could tell. "I think maybe you two are a bit broody." I said. "Maybe just a little. But hey if we ever need a surrogate we know where to come." They said making me laugh. "Actually while you're here we have something to ask you Tabor." I said. "Oh really and what would that be." He said. I looked at Garren and then finally said, "We would like you to be the babies godfather. No offence Garren we did think of you too, it's just..." but he held up his hand. "Please don't, I understand. Besides, Tabor is the more baby friendly one out of the two of us." He said. "I would love to." Said Tabor. I smiled "But you can still be his honorary uncle." I said to Garren. "I am an only child so he won't have any aunts or uncles." I said. "That would be perfect." He said smiling. Suddenly the door chimed again. Tabor and Garren both with their hands on my belly looked at me. "Come in." Said Tom. The doors opened and this time the captain walked in. "Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt" she said turning to leave. "Please no, come in, Tabor and Garren just wanted to have a feel." I said. She came over and sat in the chair Tabor had been in. "Would you like to?" I asked. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Of course." I said. I looked at Garren and Tabor who both let go and moved aside. The captain sat next to me and placed her hand on my belly. "This is so amazing" she said. Suddenly I felt a pain. "Ahhh." I said. Everyone leapt up. "What is it?" asked Tom. "I don't know, I just had this small pain." I said and then it happened again. Tom ran into the bedroom and came back with a tricorder. Handing it to the captain she ran it over my belly and smiled. "What is it?" I asked. "Your baby is kicking." She said. "Already." I said. "Yeah." She said. It happened again and Tom came over and put his hand on my belly to feel it. "He is going to be a good footballer." He said. Everyone found a place and put a hand on my belly. He was really going for it. "Oh wow." I said. Finally the baby calmed and everyone went and sat down. "Since you're here captain, we have something we would like to ask. Would you like to be this babies godmother?" I asked. She looked at me and smiled. "I would love to." She said smiling. "That's good then, captain meet the godfather Tabor." I said pointing to Tabor. "Pleasure." She said laughing. "Well I think we should let you guys get some sleep this has been one hell of a busy day for you." Said Tabor. They all stood and turned to leave. "Thank you for coming and remember you are more than welcome to come back anytime." I said. We all said goodbye before tom and I climbed back into bed. "Good night my love." Tom said. "And goodnight to you too Jack." He said teasing me. I punched him in the arm and said "Hey..." He smiled. "I was kidding. Goodnight my wonderful little boy." He said to my belly. "Good night babes." I said. I feel asleep with Tom holding me, his hands on my belly.
2 WEEKS LATER
It had been 2 weeks since I found out I was pregnant and my baby bump was now starting to show. It wasn't huge yet but people could now start to see that I was pregnant. Tom was loving the fact that he could see my bump and I really couldn't understand why but this turned him even more. At the minute we were having sex more than usual, even before I was pregnant. It wasn't the same with Tom and B'Elanna however. When B'Elanna had tried to change the doctor in order to have all the Klingon DNA in her baby removed, she and Tom had argued a lot more but luckily they had made up, but she wasn't telling me how. All she said was that it was of a very personal nature. As I stood in engineering I was checking through the diagnostic which I had performed on the environmental controls. I had about 2 pads in my hand and trying to read through them together when I dropped one. I went to pick it up when I had a sharp pain in my abdomen. This wasn't like when the baby kicked this was different and very very painful. It was so painful I dropped to my knees cradling my belly. "Jack are you okay?" asked Tom running over to me. "No... I ..." was all I could say. "Crewman transport us to sickbay." He said to a crewman stood at a station. "Aye sir." He said. Tom knelt next to me and held me as we were transported to sickbay. When rematerialised on the floor in sickbay the doctor looked over at us and came over with a tricorder. "What's wrong?" he said. "He said he had a pain in his abdomen." Tom told him. He ran a tricorder over me and then started to rub my belly when I burped. "Pardon me." I said. It was then I noticed the pain had gone. I looked at the doctor who was smiling. "What was that?" I said. "A Gas bubble." He said. "A what?" I asked. "As your baby continues to grow inside you, you will find that you don't pass gas as often as you would normally. This builds up inside you into a bubble causing very sharp pains. The only way to release it is to rub the bubble out like I just did. It can be very soothing." The doctor explained. "Tom, why don't you come back at the end of your shift and I will show you how to do it, so that if this happens again you can do it yourself." Said the doctor. "Okay sure." Said Tom. The doctor scanned me again and said "Okay, you're good to go." He said. I stood up and together Tom and I walked out of sickbay and back to engineering. Who knew that having a baby would be so bloody painful. I thought morning sickness was bad enough, what I didn't know at this time was things were going to get much more painful.
