Run Away - Ben Platt

Lying back on the bed, you wait a few minutes for the doctor to find what she's looking for. You watch her face as she scowls at the screen that's turned away from you. Soon enough, her scowl turns to a soft smile as she pushes the screen to face you.

Doc
"There you go. You see that little blip?"

You follow her finger with your own, placing it on the tiny bean shaped white dot on the screen.

Y/n
"That?"

Doc
"Yep, that's your baby."

Y/n
"That's our baby?"

Doc
"Do you want pictures?"

Y/n
"Uh yes, yes please."

Your eyes don't leave the screen as the doctor fiddles with the controls and eventually freezes the screen.

Doc
"I'll give you two a minute. When you're ready you can get dressed and knock on the door, I'll be just outside. I have a good friend who's an obstetrician here so I'll give you her number with the photos so you can start arranging prenatal appointments."

With one last smile, the doctor leaves you to admire the screen further.
