I nodded and smiled.
A few minutes later the ultrasound tech came into the room.
She was tall, skinny, jumpy and cheery.
Wearing expensive running shoes and a fancy watch that probably tracked everything from her breathing to her poop cycle.
My hormones had me very judgmental today…
She introduced herself as Lynne and had me lay back and lift my shirt.
Getting the ultrasound on my stomach was much more comfortable than the other way.
The wand.
And you know where that thing went…
“How’s the weather out there today?” Lynne asked.
Oh, great, someone who makes small talk…
“Sunny,” I said.
“Same as yesterday, right?”
Lynne smiled at me.
I smiled back. “Right.”
“I always ask that,” she said. “Get the nonsense small talk crap out of the way so we can get to work. Let’s see what this baby looks like…”
Just as Lynne was about to start the ultrasound, there was a knock at the door.
It opened before Lynne could say a word.
“Excuse me!” Lynne called out.
I blinked fast at the sight of Atlas entering the room.
“Sorry I’m late,” he said, his voice shaking everything in the room. “I’m the father of the baby.”
Lynne looked at me.
Her eyes wondering if this situation was okay or not.
It occurred to me right then just how this looked.
Just like the night I had to bail Atlas out of jail.
And now Atlas just walking into the room.
“It’s okay,” I said to Lynne. “I texted him at the last second. I should have texted earlier.”
“That would have been smart,” Atlas said.
I looked at Atlas. “Really? Haven’t seen you in a month and you want to start up again?”
“You randomly text me after a month about this appointment? What was that about?”
