I finally let go of the cuffs in my pocket, feeling like I might have aged ten years in the process.
The doctor finally turned her attention to the ultrasound machine, and my heart started racing again. This was it—the moment I’d been waiting for, the chance to catch a glimpse of our baby for the first time.
She applied the gel to Olivia's stomach and began to move the wand. I held my breath, anticipation humming through my insides.
And then, there it was—the unmistakable sound of a heartbeat, strong and steady, filling the room with its rhythmic cadence.
Olivia's eyes widened in wonder, her hand flying to her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. "Oh my God," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "That's our baby."
“It looks like you’re around thirteen weeks along,” Dr. Rochelle said as she moved the wand across Olivia’s skin.
I squeezed her hand, my own eyes shimmering with tears as I gazed at the monitor, drinking in the sight of our tiny miracle.
It was the second time I’d been reborn in my life.
The first being when I saw Olivia, of course.
The emotions I was feeling were complicated, life-changing. I loved this baby. I loved it so much.
“Our little Shmoopy,” I sighed happily.
Olivia groaned. “It’snot a little shmoopy!” she said indignantly.
“It’s not an “it” at all,” the doctor said with a smile. “You’re having a girl.”
Word to the wise…passing out onto a hard, tile floor when you’re 6’4 and you weigh 220 pounds…it hurts like fuck when you wake up.
CHAPTER 33
WALKER
Ari: I’m going to start calling you Thor with the way you worked that hammer.
King Linc: That was a ridiculous attempt at humor, Lancaster. Even for you.
Ari: I’m not even joking. I’m a little nauseous…and turned on…every time I think about it. I mean, you literally smashed his dick.
Me: That’s what she said.
King Linc:...
Ari: Perfectly executed, Disney.
Me: Why are you being so nice?
King Linc: That should be obvious…
Me:?
King Linc: He’s scared of what you can do with your hammer.
Ari: I have to do it.
King Linc:…
King Linc: Fine.
Ari: That’s what she said.
