Chapter 9

Gary's POV

"Gary! Come on we're gonna be late." Mark calls from the hallway whilst i'm brushing my teeth. My eyes glance over at my watch.
"Babe we've got another hour yet." Speaking with a mouthful of foamy water before spitting it into the sink.
"It's a 30 minute drive and with your driving we will be late."
Wiping away any toothpaste from around my mouth with the back of my hand i poke my head around the door. "Watcha mean by that?"
"You're slow." Mark grins slipping on his black leather coat waiting for me to come down in the hallway.
Cheekily i grin whilst walking down the stairs. "You've never complained before." I wink at him as i embrace him into a tight hug.
"Ay don't mess up me hair Gaz." Mark chuckles returning the hug.
Slowly i pull away a little looking at that sweet perfect face of his. "I wont... messy hair is for the bedroom only..."
He giggles a little raising his eyebrows. "I say Mr Barlow....someones certainly in the mood for it today."
"Well we need to celebrate after today...right? And that's a way baby's are made...we might as do our 'practise'"
Mark almost chokes on his tongue. "Erm...c...can't wait..." His cheeks get a little flushed. Very gently i press my lips against his ear.
"Once we're home... i'm going to push up against this wall ripping at your clothes until they're on the floor... then i'm going to carry you upstairs... dragging my tongue over every inch of your body....before burying myself deep inside of you...." Carefully i move his scarf aside placing a soft kiss against his neck. Mark blinks his eyes a few times from my words.
"Jeez..." He mumbles staring at me for a minute or two.
Smiling pleased with myself i slip on my coat taking his hand in mine. "Come on... we've got an appointment to get to."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We wait for Robbie and Yasmin to arrive at the clinic. Mark paces the corridor sighing a little looking for them. "Where are they?"
"Babe. It's only five past sit down." Softly i smile patting the empty plastic chair beside me.
Mark sits next to me allowing the back of his head to the touch the wall. "What if she's changed her mind?"
"Hey...don't say that... she would of texted." I swirl my finger around his knee trying to comfort him. Mark can be such a worrier sometimes which creates more problems than what it's worth.
"But what if Ro-" Not letting him finish his sentence forcefully i push our lips together giving him a deep kiss. The sound of someone cough causes us to break away and look up. There stands Robbie by himself with a blank expression on his face.
"O...oh hiya Rob..." Mark gives him a friendly smile. "Where's Yasmin?"
Not once does Robbie look at me. It's almost like i don't exist! "She's talking to a friend of hers. She'll be here in a minute."
"Ok...take a seat?" The only seat which is spare is the one next to me. Great. This is going to be so awkward.
Robbie looks at the seat next to me noticing its the only one. "Nah i'm ok we'll be going in soon." How childish can you get?

"Hello Daddies!" Out of nowhere a grinning Yasmin arrives. Instantly two huge grins appear on mine and Mark's faces.
"Finally!" Mark giggles and gives her a kiss on the cheek. "Thought you wasn't coming."
She smiles a little and kisses my cheek. "Was you getting worried?"
"I was a litt-"
"He was a lot." I laugh a little looking at Mark who blushes slightly. "Here sit down." Politely i stand up giving up my seat for Yasmin to sit down whilst we wait for our appointment.

Robbie's POV

"Yasmin Williams?" A nurse calls looking out of the door opposite us. We all go to stand up walking to the direction of the door. "Sorry gents, but we only need Yasmin. You two need to go to the other room where another doctor will talk you through the process." She points to Gary and Mark as Yasmin disappears inside the room.
"Catch you later Rob." Mark pats my arm grinning as per as he takes hold of Gary's hand.
"Yeah. See ya." I sit down on one of the empty seats. I'm still against this, but she's my wife of course i've got to support her. Although the main reason i'm against it is Gary. The man who had an affair with my wife and now he's going to be sort of having a baby with her. To be honest i wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to make the baby the natural way it wouldn't be new to him! Twat.

This is going to take forever i'm going to be sat here for hours. Thankfully before i go completely insane my phone starts to vibrate. (1) new message. - I miss you... come round? Softly i sigh before quickly typing a message back.
Reply: I can't. I'm at the hospital. I told you that. See you later. Why did i even bother coming if all i'm going to do is sit here getting bored out of my head. Another message comes through within a few seconds.
(1) new message.- I thought you couldn't use phones at hospitals? Are you seriously going through with it?
Reply:  Yes. I'm going through with it, and i'm stuck sat out here waiting whilst dumb and dumber are in one room and she's in the other. There wasn't any point of me coming. 
Feeling cramp in my legs i decide to take a stroll around the corridors. Peering through a few of the empty rooms keeping myself busy.
(1) new message.- Even more reason why you should come round... please? For a minute i stop and think. Maybe if i quickly go before they're finished non of them would notice that i went. Yeah why not? Sod it!
Reply: On my way. See you soon.

Gary's POV

That took forever! The doctor had to do some tests on me and Mark checking if we are both healthy enough taking our samples for Yasmin. "Where's Rob?" Mark raises his eyebrow as we walk down to the corridor.
"Maybe he went inside with Yaz?" I stroke the top of his hand. Right now they're sorting Yasmin out with the whole IVF thing. This is all too exciting!
"When do we tell people?" Excitement spreads across Mark's face.
"What do you mean? Family already know?"
Mark nods. "Yeah i know that... i'm talking about our fans. When do we tell them?"
"I've got an idea." Quickly i reach into my pocket pulling out my phone fiddling with a few buttons typing a quick message.
"What are you doing?" He raises his eyebrow trying to look at my phone screen. Once i've typed the message i turn my phone to his direction.
"Shall i tweet it?" The message says. Attention fans ! There's some exciting news coming your way soon... watch this space !  "That should be a little teaser for them."
Mark playfully taps my arm. "Gaz don't be awful! That's teasing them too much." He chuckles.
"They'll love it." I hit the tweet button. Within a few seconds of tweeting it my phone goes mental with tweets.
"Now look what you've done." Mark shakes his head smiling. "When do we actually tell them?"
"Erm... well when we actually know the IVF has worked, because if it doesn't then... there's no point in saying we're going to have a baby...when we're not."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later and chatter sounds through the door opposite. They must be about finished. Running my hand through Mark's hair as he rests his head against my upper arm. It's been a long tiring day. Can't wait to finally get home and have an early night. A shadow appears at the door and out walks Yasmin. Softly she smiles at us both. "Right Mrs Williams the treatment went well, so we'll see you on October the 11th to do final tests and to see if you're pregnant." The nurse hands her a few leaflets. October the 11th?! That's exactly a month from today! We're going to find out if we're parents in a months time! Wow.
"Ok thank you... see you then." Yasmin looks knackered and she looks a little weaker than before it must of drained her being in there all that time. "Where's Rob?"She asks. Me and Mark look at one another confused. Looking around her into the empty room. He wasn't with her after all.
"We tho-" All of a sudden Robbie comes walking quickly to our direction. His face looks a little flushed, and it looks like he's been running seeing the build up of sweat on his forehead.
"Where have you been?" Yasmin looks at him raising her eyebrow.
Robbie wraps his arms around her waist. "S...Sorry babe...i erh...i went to the shops for a walk... had cramp."

Yasmin's face completely changes when Robbie holds her. "What's that smell?"
"Smell?" He asks trying to act calm as if he's trying to hide something. She moves her head to the direction of his chest inhaling the smell.
"P...Perfume? Where have you been?"
Not saying a word Mark looks down biting his lip. He's thinking exactly the same as me. He's been to see someone. Hasn't he?
