Chapter 17

Sonny squeezed Tru's hand tightly as the doctor moved the ultrasound probe around her belly. The sound of the fetal heartbeat filled the room and Sonny's heart filled with joy, and that nagging feeling wasn't too far behind. The feeling that told him not to get his hopes up. That so much could still go wrong.

"It looks like this little one just wanted to give you guys a scare." The doctor said, as she placed the probe back on it's stand and grabbed some napkins for Tru to wipe off her belly.

"I think a scare is a bit of an understatement," Tru said as she wiped the jelly off her stomach. Sonny grabbed another napkin and helped her.

"Well, everything seems to be fine. Your pregnancy seems to be progressing like it should," the doctor replied. "Do you want to know the sex?"

Both Sonny and Tru stopped what they were doing and looked at each other. They had been so wrapped up in everything that was going on, and then the scare at the hospital, they had forgotten she had reached the gender reveal part of her pregnancy.

"You—you can tell?" Sonny asked.

"Yes, I was able to get a clear view today," The doctor wrote something on Tru's chart.

"Do we want to know?" Tru asked.

"That's your call."

Tru smiled, "I think I want it to be a surprise."

Sonny squeezed her hand and kissed it, "That sounds perfect."

"Ok then, the receptionist will set you up with your next appointment. I'd like to see you every week for the duration of your pregnancy."

"Every week? Is that necessary? I thought you said everything was fine." Sonny asked.

"It is, but this is a high-risk pregnancy, and I want to make sure it stays that way." The doctor replied before leaving the room.

Sonny helped Tru off the exam table and helped her put her jacket on. He liked taking care of her. He liked that they felt like a team. They were truly in all this together, everything seemed like it was going to be okay.

"That's nice to see," Tru said suddenly.

"What is?" he asked as he opened the door for her.

"You're smiling,"

Sonny wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on top of the head, "Well I have a lot to smile about." He said, as he slid his hand down to hold hers. "You and the baby are both healthy, we're getting married," he held up her hand with the engagement ring. "We should probably start planning that, huh."

"Yeah, we should," Tru smiled.

Once they were both inside the car, Sonny's phone chimed, and he slid it out of his pocket to read the notification.

"It's a text from Abby." Sonny said.

"Why is she texting you and not me."

"'Hey, wasn't sure if Tru was clued in and I don't want to cause her or the baby any stress. Just wanted you to know that we made it to Jersey. I'll keep you posted.'" Sonny read the text aloud.

Tru groaned, "I don't like this at all."

"Neither do I,"

Tru bit her bottom lip, "When do you go back to work?"
