“Oh God, doesn’t this stuff come warmed up?” I said, giggling.
“I know. It’s a shocker.” She smiled. “Now just relax.”
She sat down on the chair and grabbed a wand, rolling it over my abdomen. “You may be uncomfortable with the pressure, but this shouldn’t take too long.”
I watched as she rolled the wand around my abdomen while looking at the screen. After a few seconds, I began leaning forward, trying to see the screen. When she noticed, she smiled. “There isn’t a lot to see right now,” she said and turned the monitor a little toward me. “Do you have any other children?”
“No, this is my first,” I said, still watching the screen for anything I might see.
“Ah, now I know why you’re so keen on seeing what is going on.” She studied the screen intently, moving the wand around a little, and then smiled. “And there you are,” she quietly said.
“Where?”
She pointed to this little odd shape on the screen. “Right there.”
I frowned. “That’s it?”
“That’s it!” She smiled. “Don’t worry, most first-time parents say the same thing. It’s like a little kidney bean, isn’t it?”
I nodded, still watching the screen. “That’s what has been responsible for my morning sickness?”
“That’s it! Amazing that something that tiny can do that to us, isn’t it?”
I nodded, watching as she marked a few things down on the paper in front of her. Then she took a paper towel and cleaned the wand off and passed me a pile of them.
“Alright, my dear, once you get dressed, you can head through the side door into Doctor Love’s office. I’m just going to get this image printed off and a report ready for him, and hopefully, fingers crossed, he should be here in about twenty minutes.”
“Thank you,” I said.
Once she was gone, I did as I was told, cleaning myself up, then getting dressed, and then I made my way into his office. I took a seat on the comfortable-looking couch in his office and pulled my phone from my pocket.
There was a message from Asher. I smiled as I read it.
ASHER: Will be a little late tonight picking you up. Work issues. I should be there by seven thirty. We’ll get dinner to go, then head up to the hotel. ;)
BRIELLE: Sounds good, take your time ;)
Asher
I stoodin line for a coffee in the hospital cafeteria when my phone vibrated in my pocket. Today of all days, one of Alonzo’s patients had to go into labour. She’d had a high-risk pregnancy as it was, and both Alonzo and I had been glad he was here to deal with it. I’d seen her once during her second trimester, and she’d been a basket case, worried that Alonzo was going to abandon her. My phone vibrated again, and I pulled it out, looking at the screen.
BELLA: Sounds good, take your time ;)
I quickly sent another message.
ASHER: This is what my career is like. I hope you can take it
I watched as the three little dots bounced up and down.
BELLA: I know, Brielle complains all the time about Sawyer, at least I can now relate :D
I let out a laugh.
ASHER: Hope you don’t complain about me.
BELLA: Not yet, you’ve only made me wait twice. Although one more time that will give me rights to start lol
I smiled. God, I loved her.
