Chapter Text
Wes could feel so much panic as he ran to into the hospital. After hearing that a body was found and there was another occupant in critical condition, he called Laurel immediately. When she didn’t pick up he knew something was wrong, she has been trying to get a hold of him all day. He feared the worst when he saw everyone at the hospital, but Laurel.
Wes, with tears in his eyes, turned to Oliver because he is the only one looking at him, “Please tell me she is not the one dead.” Before Oliver could say anything, Wes heard a voice behind him, it was, Meggy. “Wes, Laurel is in the room, waiting for you.” Wes let out a sigh, then put his hand to his mouth and he bent over about to cry. “Can I see her?”, Meggy nodded and guided him through the doors.
Laurel has not woken up yet. She was still hooked up to all of the machines. Meggy warned Wes, but all he wanted was to be with for when she woke up. Laurel woke up about an hour later, she was scared and freaking out. Meggy ran to grab the doctor. Wes grabbed onto to Laurel to calm her down. She was crying, but happy to see Wes. She grabbed, Wes, never wanting to let him go, like she did earlier that day.
Laurel and Wes were in the room when, Nate’s face, showed up on the screen. They were both upset, but relieved it was not one of them. Wes turned to Laurel and smiled, “I just want to say, that I am really sorry for earlier. It is just hard for me to believe, that you can really love someone like me.” She turned to him, “I love you, Wes.” He grew even bigger smile, “I love you so much.” He kissed her, as he continued to hold her hand. Even though the situation was shitty, he could not be happier than he was in this moment. Meggy entered the room with Laurel’s doctor. They explained to Laurel that the blood test that they did when she came in had tested positive for pregnancy
Both of them were in complete shock. Meggy had explained to them that as of right now the baby is fine, but Laurel has been through a lot and she still is at high risk of miscarrying. Meggy left the room for them to be alone. “Do you know what you want to do about the baby?’ he asked her. She just shook her head. “ I think we both should just go to sleep tonight then discuss it tomorrow” she told him. He nodded as he got up to turn off the lights, he grabbed a blanket and slept in the chair next her while holding her hand. He woke up from pain in his hand, he realized, Laurel was awake and clearly in pain. She pointed to the button, so he could press it. She was hunched over in pain, and he kept rubbing her back, “sorry for waking you up”, and he just shook his head.”I will always be here for you, Laurel.” They both eventually went back to sleep.
3 weeks later
Annalise was still in jail and everyone was over at Bonnie’s trying to figure away to get her out. Wes and Laurel ducked out, telling everyone they were going to stake out in front of DA Denver’s house to see if they could find anything. Everyone knew they were lying, but no one protested. They were going to an appointment for the baby. They haven't talked much about the baby. He has noticed Laurel being more closed off since the fire. As he was driving, she grabbed his hand and put it in her lap. “I am freaking out. What if they can’t find a heartbeat? I don’t even know what we are going to do, but I just want to know it is healthy so we can have a choice.” He grew sad when she said that because he feared the same thing, but he knew he had to be strong for her. “ I think it will be ok, you haven't bled at all and you haven't had any pain.” She just sighed and squeezed his hand.
They called Laurel’s name and with every step, they both became more nervous. She changed into a gown. Eventually the doctor came in, “okay, so we will have to go in and do to sonogram vaginal in order to have the best picture.” the doctor told them. Laurel just nodded and grabbed Wes’s hand. “Okay so, right here is the the fetal pull, and over he is the oak sack.” They both looked at the screen amazed. “okay , here is the baby’s heartbeat.” The noise filled up the room, they could not believe what they were hearing. The doctor printed out pictures and gave them to her and left them room. Laurel looked at Wes and said “ I think I know what I want, I want you and this baby, together.” He had a huge grin on his face, “ I think we would be a great family, the three of us,” They shared a kiss and looked back at the pictures of their baby.
