Nate Jacobs - Falling down

Chapter Twenty - New & Old Habits

Sarah POV

"You scared?" Nate asked as he reached for my hand, rubbing circles on the palm of my hand with his thumb.

"Fuck no. I'm so excited!" I practically squealed causing Nate to laugh.

But the truth was, i was terrified. What if something went wrong? What if i wasn't healthy enough and that kills the baby? What if Nate chokes me like he did to Maddy, and kills both me and and baby?! These thoughts were constantly running through my head, i just hope and pray that nothing goes wrong.

The doctor approached Nate and i as we sat in the waiting room.

"Hey there, are you Sarah Cameron?"

"Yep, that's me."

"Okay! I'm Dr. Jones, i'll be helping you today. Please follow me!" She smiled.

Nate and I followed the doctor into the room. Inside the room was a bed, a few chairs, and the screen that would show the inside of my uterus..my child. Our child.

"Please lay down on the bed, Ms. Cameron."

"Okay." I sigh.

Nate helped me onto the bed, even though my stomach hasn't even shown yet, he's been treating me like i'm 7 months pregnant. I'm not complaining though, i like the special treatment.

"So, how have you been feeling, Sarah?" The doctor asks as she types on her computer.

"I've been feeling a little tired lately, my breasts are more swollen than usual..oh and i've been very nauseous."

The doctor types almost ever word i've just said into my file, while nodding her head.

"That's very good! All normal things for an early pregnancy. That means you're running perfectly just as you're supposed to!"

"That's great!" I smile to look at Nate, but he looks angry? What the fuck was his problem now?

"Why hasn't her stomach grown yet though?" Nate questions the doctor.

"Well, she's only a little over a month pregnant, so it's normal for there to be no bump yet, but soon i can assure you that one sure appear."

"But, when do you think it will?"

Why was he so concerned about my stomach?

"Between 12-18 of pregnancy the bump should start to appear. 18 weeks at the latest!"

Nate nods his head in response.

"Okay, let's check in on the baby! Would you mind pulling your shirt up?"

"Yeah, sure."

I roll up my sweater and lay back fully on the bed. Nate was seated on the left side of me, holding my hand. I could tell he was nervous, and so was i.

"Okay, this will be a little cold, but you should get used to it." The doctor says as she starts applying this cold, clear gel to my stomach.

She rubs it all over it and then takes her gloves off since they were covered in gel, and she puts a new pair of gloves on.

"I'm nervous!" I laugh

"It'll be okay, i promise you! Just let me know when you're ready."

I look at Nate, he looks at me and nods to let me know that he's ready too.

And with that i say..

"Okay..i'm ready." I sigh.

The doctor then started to rub the probe around the gel on my belly finding the right spot on the camera. Once she did, we all looked at the screen.
