Welcome To The Family

**Val's POV**

It has been about 5 months since the week that changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. First, Matt proposed, then cheated on me with my sister before almost killing her in a car accident. Then, I cheat on Matt with Brian as payback but discover we both have strong feelings towards each other and eventually admit we are falling in love. Finally, I find out I'm pregnant but have no idea who the father could be.....but that will change soon.

My OBGYN finally gave me the okay to have the prenatal paternity test preformed, so we are all heading to their office later today to get tested.

Matt, to my surprise, remained faithful to Michelle and never brought up the idea of us working things out for the baby's sake back up to me....he actually admitted he was just hurt and jealous, and allowed that jealousy to cause him to overreact. I have been trying my hardest to let him be a part of this pregnancy since then, and I know he's grateful for the gesture. He's really hoping that if the baby is his, that it will be a boy...one with his famous dimples, of course.

Brian on the other hand has been hoping for a girl but he says he will love the baby regardless of it's gender, or who it's biological father is (in case it's not his.) He just wants it to feel loved and wanted for the rest of it's life and I can't begin to describe how that melts my heart. The last few months with him have been and absolute dream, and the more I'm around him, the more I find myself falling deeper and deeper in love.

I told both of them from the beginning that I would like the gender to be a surprise so they understand not the push the issue of finding out when they come with me today. The doctor told me he is going to use an ultrasound machine to guide a needle into my belly and take a sample of fluid from the amniotic sac then test it against both of the guys DNA.

We arrive at my appointment and I'm trembling with fear....not only for the risk to the baby, but also because I know that one of these guys will have the dream of a child to call their own crushed once the results come back.

Matt notices me shaking and wraps his one arm around my shoulder....normally I would pull away, but right now I could use the comfort. Brian glares slightly at him, but instead of causing a scene he reaches over and grabs a hold of my hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze.

"Valary DiBenedetto?" the nurse calls and I jump slightly in my seat. Shit, I am terrified. Brian stands up and Matt follows suit, they both look down at me still frozen in my chair.

"It's ok baby, we will ask if we can be with you for the procedure if you like." Brian says softly and leans down a kisses my cheek. I grab ahold of his right hand he helps me to my feet. Matt offers me his left one and I give him a grateful smile...he's actually trying to keep me calm and I find it slightly touching.

"Can we come back with her for the test?" Matt asks and she tells him as soon as they are done taking their DNA samples that they can join me for the procedure.

I reluctantly let go of their hands and the nurse leads me into the cold exam room and let's me know I can get changed into the examination gown and that the doctor will be in soon....ugh why do the doctors always make you wait half naked in freezing cold rooms?!

There is a small knock on the door a few minutes later and the doctor appears with a nurse in tow. She's carrying a tray full of instruments and vials and I begin to panic...I thought Matt and Brian would be in here with me before they got started.

"Excuse me...can we please wait a few minutes so I don't have to do this alone?" I beg and he reluctantly tells me he can wait about 5 mins because he has other people's appointments too.

I watch the clock and see about 4 minutes have passed so the nurse begins to unwrap the sterile instruments as tears pour down my cheeks.

"Ms. DiBenedetto, you need to try and calm down." the doctor says sternly, "I don't want to put you or your baby at risk... so please try and steady your breathing." he continues and asks me to lay back on the table.

There is another knock at the door so the doctor covers me up as best as he can with a sheet and the nurse cracks the door slightly to see who it is. I can see Matt's hazel eyes looking at me on the table and watch as anger flashes briefly in them.

"I thought you guys were going to wait for us before starting?!" he growls and pushes his way inside the room before the nurse can stop him. He rushes over and grabs my hand and glares at the doctor, "She's terrified to do this alone, can you see that?!" he spits out through gritted teeth and I tighten the grip on his hand.

"Thank you" I whisper softly and the doctor huffs and picks up the ultrasound machine. "Wait please! Where's Brian?!" I cry and he tries to say that he can't stall any longer, before Matt grabs him by the collar of his shirt and tells him that if he starts the test before I'm ready that he will live to regret it. I will admit that Matt is really trying to be a supportive friend and I'm beyond grateful for it now.

Brian enters the room with another nurse and Matt and him both hold onto my hands as the doctor guides the needle into my belly. He takes the sample and tells us we should have the results in a few days.

Matt and Brian make their way back out to the waiting room as I rush to get redressed...I really can't leave here fast enough....I just was this to be over.

~~~about a week later~~~

Today we get the results of the paternity test and I feel like I'm going to be sick. The last experience at the OBGYN's office really has me dreading the fact that I have to return today. Michelle asked me if it was ok if she came with today, I know she is mainly trying to be supportive, but also think that she's afraid that the results will say the baby is Matt's.

I let her know that's ok and she tells me that her and Matt will meet us at the office. I'm relieved...it's not that they haven't tried to be their for us, it's that I would rather ride over with just Brian. I know he will find some way to calm my nerves and I love him so much for that.

We all meet at the office about 15 minutes before my appointment and nervously tap our feet in anticipation. When they finally call us back I feel like my heart is in my throat... Holy shit, I can't believe we are going to finally find out!

The doctor walks back in with a folder in his hands and gives me a sympathetic smile. We must look like a bunch of idiots right now... Matt and Brian are both holding onto my hands and Matt is gripping Michelle's with his other, while Brian lays his other hand across her back.

"I have the results here if you would like to hear them " the doctor say and pauses, he's fucking kidding me right, why else would we be here?! He takes a deep breath and says....

"Congratulations, Mr.... Haner"

Notes

The baby is Brian's!!! Hope not too many of you are disappointed.
I almost went with the twin babies that have two separate fathers idea that @megan20089 suggested but decided that would be way too complicated to write.

Up next, Matt and Michelle's POVs on the paternity announcement then I'll write Brian's POV after that.

How do you think they are all going to react?

any guesses on the gender?

any baby name suggestions?
