“Who is going to perform the ultrasound?” I asked, seeing the machine in the corner.
“I have a doctor who should arrive anytime now,” he said. “I organised him the moment you sent your coded message.”
“And can we trust him?” Kane asked.
“He delivered Lacey. He never gave as much as a whisper of who she was when she was born, and he saw who she was.”
There was a knock at the door and I jumped, but realising at that moment I had no pains for quite some time. Maybe everyone was right, and it was the baby moving around.
“Dr Collins,” Yuri said. And now I knew Yuri also knew.
Clay nodded and held his hand out to the doctor. “Good to see you again. You’ve met my... Lacey.”
“Ah, you are all grown up and beautiful,” he said and smiled.
“And this is her partner, Kane,” Clay said and Kane held out his hand and grinned like a cat that had got the cream.
“Let’s get this out of the way. If you’d like to get yourself comfortable on the bed, remove your underwear below the waist and we’ll cover you with this.” He placed a white cotton sheet on my lap.
I glanced a sheepish look at Kane. His eyes were wide open. “My underwear? Don’t you blob some gel on my tummy and run something over it?”
The good doctor laughed. “Transvaginal is better for dating the baby.”
“It won’t be ready for dating until at least eighteen,” I said, and laughed at my joke.
Kane groaned. Then stared at me for a moment before smiling. “You’re having a baby. You know you’re going to have to remove your underwear for the delivery.”
“I didn’t think this through properly,” I said, and blew out a sigh.
Kane rumbled a laugh beside me.
“It’s your fault. You talked me into this,” I said and frowned.
“You’ll be fine. Now get your panties off,” Kane whispered as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for a quick kiss. “Just do it.”
“I’ll get you back,” I said.
“By getting me pregnant, I don't think you're capable of that,” he said, arching an eyebrow. Then he grinned and lowered me onto the bed.
“Okay Lacey, this first bit is what you’ve probably read.”
I held out my hand, looking at it shaking, not knowing why I was suddenly nervous.
Kane took hold of my hand and squeezed. “It’ll be fine. You should be excited.” And I was excited. But now I felt nervous. What if they found something wrong with the baby?
The ultrasound was going well until the doctor got out the transvaginal stick. It wasn’t wide, but it was long—too long.
“Bend your knees and relax,” he said. I closed my eyes for a moment before they opened as wide as my mouth.
“Oh,” I whispered.
“Breath normal now,” the doctor said.
I tried to take my mind off it by staring at Kane. Today he dressed in a pair of dark jeans and smart fitted shirt that hugged his body in all the right places. I closed my eyes and inhaled as the wonderful aroma of woodiness with a hint of vanilla filled my senses.
“You look nice today,” I said, cocking my head to one side, trying to take my mind off what was going on inside me.
The side of his mouth raised in a crooked smile. “You always look nice.” I felt a rush of warmth rising from my neck.
