Chapter 7: I'm Here

 2 weeks later.

I haven't talked to Les since the day I blacked out. I don't think I want to see Les; I thought the least he could do was try. I mean I understand that he's freaked out, but I'm freaked out too and I'm scared to death.

I'm at another ultra sound appointment; but I'm by myself.

"You're about nine weeks, right?" Doctor Ashburn asks.

I nod at her and say, "Yea, that's about right."

"Well, then lets take a look, shall we?"

As the doctor was putting the gel on my stomach, the door opened and Les stood there.

"Sir, you can't be in here." doctor Ashburn stated.

"It's fine." I assure her.

"What're you doing here?" I asks Les.

"I don't know." Les says looking worn out.

"Look, no one is forcing you to be here, and...I honestly don't think I want you here." I say coldly.

Les moves closer to my side, "Cy, I'm sorry, but I was scared. I want to be here for you... and I'm sorry." he says with regret and pain.

"I'm scared too."

"Shall, I proceed?" Ashburn interrupts.

"Yea." I reply.

The doctor rubs the gel on me and searches for the baby. The small bean-shaped thing has grown a little more from last time.

"Is that..."

I look at Les and whisper, "Yea..."

"It's so small." Les said amazed.

"First time?" the doctor asks.

Me and Les look at each other, knowing that this wasn't planned.

"I guess you could say that." I say hesitantly.

"You guys make a cute couple." the doctor smiles.

I bite my lip and look away. Les stays quiet too.

"We're not." I state.

After the ultrasound, the doctor leaves and it's just me and Les.

I pull down my shirt and hop off the bed.
