It was a few days after the home pregnancy test and I was sitting in the doctor's office exam room waiting for the doctor to come in. I knew we had dinner at Harlan's tonight with our parents. I just wanted to get this verified and find out everything was okay. Ransom was pacing in the exam room which was making me annoyed and a little motion sick watching him go back and forth.
"Can you please do me a favor and sit down?! Ransom, you are making me want to vomit." I said and he sighed. He sat down and took my hand and then placed his other hand on my stomach. I knew he was nervous, I placed my hand over his on my stomach.
"I can't go through it again Clo." Ransom said and I sighed.
"Nothing says we will Ransom." I said and he hung his head until the doctor came in and I smiled seeing him.
"It's so great seeing you two again." The doctor said and I smiled.
"Took us some time but we got back." I said he nodded.
"Okay well I see the urine test we took we rushed and it came back positive, you have the positive pregnant tests so let's so if we can see baby Drysdale." The doctor said and started getting the ultrasound ready. Once he placed the gel on my stomach and got everything set up we saw the tiny little blob moving on the screen and I smiled as did Ransom. The doctor then turned on the speaker and we heard the heartbeat.
"Good and strong, everything is looking amazing Clover." He said and I looked at Ransom.
"See, everything is looking good." I said and Ransom sighed as the doctor handed me a towel to wipe off my stomach.
"I know you two are probably concerned about this pregnancy. So do you have any questions?" The doctor asked.
"Yeah will that baby live?" Ransom asked boldly.
"RANSOM!" I shrieked.
"What?! Like you don't want to know."
"Well yeah but I can think of better ways to ask. Jesus Ransom." I said annoyed. The doctor looked at both of us.
"I was comparing the chart from last time to now. The first baby's heart rate was very low and there were some underlying issues there, we are thinking a heart defect. This baby though as we just saw and heard, the heart rate is very strong and amazing. The baby was moving and everything seems healthy. Clover is in amazing health. Everything is looking really good." The doctor explained.
"What about bedrest?" Ransom asked.
"It's not necessary Ransom. Like I said Clover and the baby are healthy."
"Bedrest damnit! Order it! I don't want her out of the bed unless she has to pee." Ransom said.
"Hugh Ransom Drysdale! Calm the fuck down!" I said pissed off. He glared at me and he knew I meant business.
"Ransom I don't see a reason for bedrest, I refuse to put someone on it that doesn't need it. Everyone is healthy." The doctor said. I went to grab Ransom's hand but he yanked it away.
"Yeah well that's what we thought last time too!" He yelled and stormed out of the exam room. I sighed and looked at the doctor.
"I'm sorry." I said and he shook his head.
"I understand. I do want to see you in 2 weeks and just check everything. With the last pregnancy I want to just keep an eye on you." The doctor said and I nodded. We left the exam room and went to the front desk to schedule the next appointment. I didn't see Ransom and figured he was out in the car pouting. Once I got outside I didn't see Ransom or the beamer. He was gone, he left me here. I groaned, pulled out my cellphone and tried calling Ransom and it would go straight to voicemail. I called for an uber and got a ride back to the house.
Once I walked in I didn't see Ransom and his beamer wasn't in the driveway and I just shook my head. I headed upstairs, showered, did my hair and make-up getting ready to go to Harlan's. Ransom was still not home or accepting my calls. I just went and got in my car and made the drive thinking he was maybe there already. I pulled into the driveway seeing Linda and Richards SUV along with my parents SUV but no Ransom. I walked into the house and saw everyone in the sitting room talking.
"We were wondering when you two would get here...where is Ransom?" Linda asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know..." I said going to pouring a club soda.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Monica asked.
"What I mean is, I don't know." I said and they sensed a problem.
"Have you tried calling him?" Monica asked.
"Oh gee why didn't I think of that?" I said sarcastically.
"Hey, the sarcasm is not needed." Samuel said. Before anyone could say anything else the door opened and Ransom came walking in. He noticed me and I just shook my head.
"You get over your fucking snit?" I asked and he just growled and went to walk and get a whiskey and I stopped him shoving the club soda into his chest.
"Nope, you're done. Not having a repeat of the last time." I said and Ransom looked me in my eyes.
"You're serious?!"
"As a heart attack. Last time you ran and hid yourself in a bottle. I need you present!" I said.
"What the hell is going on?" Richard asked confused. I had even forgotten the parents and Harlan were in the room.
"It's not obvious to all of you...?" Harlan said. Ransom and I looked at Harlan.
"You can tell?" I asked. Harlan walked over to me and nodded.
"I can." Harlan said and he hugged me. He then looked at Ransom.
"Club soda Ransom." Harlan said and he hung his head.
"What is going on?" Linda asked and I looked at Ransom and he sighed taking my hand which I yanked away and he groaned.
"I'm pregnant." I simply stated and everyone got excited.
"That amazing news so why the attitude?" Samuel asked as our parents hugged us.
"Well let's see Ransom screaming at the doctor about me being on bed rest when it's not needed because the baby is healthy and then leaving me at the doctor's office alone...puts a damper on what should be happy news because he can only think about the baby we lost." I said and Ransom said.
"Sorry if I'm scared!" Ransom said.
"And I'm not?! I'm terrified! I want a baby with you more than anything Ransom but you running out doesn't help!" I yelled and he groaned. He went to hug me and I shoved his away. "I think I just want to go home. I'm sorry." I said and rushed out leaving.
No one followed me, which I was grateful for. I just wanted to get home and go to bed. I washed my make up off, got in my pajamas and laid on the couch, Kitten curled up against my stomach. I just covered up and started crying, crying myself into a fitful sleep.
