The Girl in the Bar-Rewrite

Chapter 21

Arizona's P.O.V:

It's been a month since I told Callie about the baby. She seemed okay, but I think that she was a little more shocked than anything. Since the day I told her, we've been hanging out a little more, trying to get to know each other and work out our plans to get ready for the baby's arrival even though we still have some time. Today we have our sixteenth-week ultrasound. Callie had to miss our last appointment due to issues at work, but she was able to go with me today. We've been waiting for Dr. Capshaw to come in for about twenty minutes. As we waited, Callie would not sit still. Every few minutes, she would get up and start pacing the floor.

"Callie, are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry," she says apologetically, "I'm just really nervous is all,"

"I know. I am too, but your pacing won't help any," I tell her, "Why don't you come stand over here by me," She comes to stand next to me and I place a gentle hand on her arm. Her brown eyes find mine, "It's okay," she gives me a soft smile, then places her hand on top of mine. This is the first time we had any type of physical contact since the night we slept together five months ago.

"I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me tonight?" She asks.

"Like a date?" I ask her.

"Yeah, like a date," she parrots. I'm about to answer her when all of sudden, there was a knock and then the door opens and Dr. Capshaw walks in.

"Hi, Arizona, great to see you again. How have you been feeling?"

"Hi Dr. Capshaw. I'm feeling okay. Still have some morning sickness, but other than that, I've been fine," I answer.

"That's good. And that's normal. Sometimes morning sickness can last the entire pregnancy, or just the few months. Sometimes women don't even have it at all," Dr. Capshaw says, "I'm so sorry for the wait. We had a lot of appointments scheduled today, so it's been a little hectic,"

"It's okay," I say to her.

"So, your vitals look great, and your blood pressure seems be at a normal range. Any pain or discomfort?"

"Nope, none," I say shaking my head. Dr. Capshaw writes a little in the chart, then turns her attention back to me.

"Alright, how about we get your exam out of the way, then get going on the sonogram. How's that sound?"

"Sounds great," I smile. I slouch down a little and Dr. Capshaw slides between my legs to begin my exam. The exam last ten minutes.

"Everything looks good, Arizona," Dr. Capshaw says, snapping off her gloves, then reaches for a clean pair, "Now comes the fun part,"

I lift my shirt up and wait for the cold gel to be squirted onto my stomach. Callie starts to shift nervously, so lace her hand with mine to get to calm down again.

"Alright," Dr. Capshaw says, "there's your baby,"

"Oh my god," Callie says, her voice low and husky. Dr. Capshaw flips the switch, and a loud swooshing fills the room. When I look up at Callie, a broad smile appears on her face.

"You ladies want to know the sex?"

"Yes! No!" comes both our reply. I really didn't know want to know the sex. Callie just looks at me, her smile turning into a small frown.

"I don't want to know," I say to both of them, but mostly directed towards Callie.

"Ok, then we won't know. We will wait until it's time for him or her to come," Dr. Capshaw just gave us a nod, then switches off the screen, I immediately let go of Callie's hand to take the towel that was being handed to me to wipe the gel off my stomach.
