Miss Jackson {b.u.}

{37}

I packed up Clover's go bag. Daphne had her bag and she was waiting behind me. Alex was getting my purse and my jacket. I cleared my throat. Today was the first ultrasound, Brendon said he'd be here for it. I didn't know if he was going to make it. I don't have high hopes for him to show up. I made sure that Clover was bundled up enough. I turned around and met Alex at the steps. She handed me my purse and my jacket, "you sure you can watch them?"

"Of course," she began, "i'm takin' them out anyways."

I smiled softly as I put my jacket on. i glanced at Alex, "good."

"You think he's going to show?" She whispered. I imagine she wants me to tell her to the truth.

I shook my head and threw my purse over my shoulder. She patted me on the back and I stood at the door, Daphne ran over to me and I looked down and hugged her, "I was just about to come and hug you." I uttered.

She smiled at me and then shifted her gaze, "i'll be back. Be good for your aunt, okay? I love you."

"I love you!"

She ran from me and I opened the door, walking outside and unlocking my car door. I got in, putting my purse in the passenger seat and buckling myself up. I turned the radio on. One of Brendon's singles was on the radio. I bit my cheek, debating on if I wanted to listen to it. I backed out of the driveway and drove down the street. I switched the station. I was still angry and heartbroken over that fact that he agreed to break up. I thought he'd fight for me. He should have.

I opened the car door, getting out and locking it. When my head turned to look at the front of the building, I sort of expected to see Brendon. But, he wasn't standing there. Not even a single text saying he couldn't make it would do.

I walked inside, walking up to the front desk, "Hi. Appointment for Joanne Urie."

The lady typed on her computer and I waited there patiently. She clicked her finger against the mouse and glanced up at me, "Dr. Hoplin will call you back soon."

I nodded my head and turned around. I walked over to a chair, sitting down in it. I tried to stop myself from looking outside. I know if I looked outside, I would start to anticipate Brendon's late arrival. I found myself glancing at the time, then back out the window, then back at the time, "Joanne Urie?"

I got up and glanced at Dr. Hoplin. He escorted me to the back and I sat on the chair in the room, "so, what brings you in today?"

I interlocked my fingers together, "I had a positive pregnancy test. Took it because I was having symptoms and I was two months late on my...period."

"Okay, well, let's do an ultrasound."

Brendon swung the door open, breathless. He cleared his throat, "Uh, that's the father... my uh-"

"Her husband."

Brendon pulled up a chair and sat next to me, glancing at me. He had a toothpick sitting on his lips and he was slightly chewing on it.

I laid back on the seat and lifted my shirt up. He spread the gel across my stomach, Brendon watched jealously and took the toothpick out of his mouth and pointed it at Dr. Hoplin, "i'd really appreciate it if you didn't touch my wife like that." He uttered with an attitude.

Dr. Hoplon got a new pair of gloves on and put the device against my stomach, "i'm just doing my job, sir."

"Don't care." Brendon stated and put the toothpick back into his mouth.

I sighed and cleared my throat, "sorry on behalf of him."

I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at the screen. It could be a false for all I know, "so, you're definitely having a baby."
