 I impatiently waited. I was sitting in the waiting room at a small doctor's office. I was here for a check up. I waited and waited growing more and more impatient. There was no one else in the room except for me, Issy, and Colton who was talking to the receptionist sitting at the desk with papers strewn out everywhere. They had have to of been talking for at least twenty minutes. I hated not knowing what they were talking about. A few minutes later the lady disappeared into the rows of shelves that held patients files. Colton walked over to us and sat down next to Issy.

"Calm down. I got everything settled. It's gonna be okay. When they ask you your name say your Alison LaRenue. I had to lie because I have none of your files."

I nodded. I wanted to say something but I really didn't feel like arguing about anything right now.

A couple minutes later a nurse with a fake smile plastered over her face ushered me towards the door.  I wiped my sweating hands on my pants one last time before following behind her down the long. maze like, hallway.  She turned into one door and I followed. The room was dimly lit and chilly. I pulled my over sized sweatshirt tighter around my body. I was freezing.

"Now sweety if you will sit down here the doctor will be in shortly," She said patting the bed that was covered in sanitary paper.

I nodded and hopped on the bed. The paper crinkled underneath me. I had always hated that sound. She left the room with out a word. I sighed, it felt so good to not have someone watching your every move.

I flipped through and old magazine until the doctor walked in, "Hi, Alison right?"

"Yes," I hesitently answered.

"May I ask how old you are? I know its been a while since you been in here."

"Yes well, I am ummm well I'm sixteen almost seventeen."

"That's exactly what we have right here."

I let out a breath that I had been holding for what seemed like ever. How did he do it?

"Okay please lay back here and we'll take a look at this baby of yours."

I layed down on that uncomfortable paper. After he put gloves on he walked over to me.

"Can I have you pull your shirt up just past your stomach."

"Okay," I said and followed his directions.

After a few minutes he put this cold gel stuff on my stomach. He grabed an object that was connected to  this screen like thing and put it to my stomach.  A few seconds ater a picture apeared on the screen. It was my baby.
