"Hey it's okay. There's nothing to worry about Em. We get to see baby today." Sam says as he puts his hand on my shaking leg. I nod, and put my hand over his as I said "I know, but I'm just nervous. What if something's wrong, or what if the rest was faulty, or inaccurate, and we're just getting out hopes up?" "Em, if there's something wrong then we'll figure out the solution together, and the rest wasn't faulty, or inaccurate. You were puking all morning yesterday, and then told me you really wanted a container of blue cheese." Sam says as he squeezed my hand. I laughed before saying "That is a perfectly normal craving, wether someone's pregnant, or not." "No it's not." Sam says laughing. I lean into Sam before saying "You always know what to say to make me feel better." Sam wraps his arm around me before saying "I just know you. Ten years with someone does that to you."
Next thing the both of us knew my name was being called, and a nurse was leading us into a room while we waited for my OBGYN to come into the room. "The doctor wanted me to let you know that since this is your first ultrasound she will be doing it transvaginally so we're just going to have you change into a hospital gown before she comes in. There's a few sizes in the corner." The nurse tells me before pointing to a counter with three different sized hospital gowns. I thank her before she leaves, and start to strip to change into the gown. As I changed I noticed Sam smirking. "Don't." I just tell him. "And don't even lie." I said as I started to put the gown on. Sam started tying the hospital gown for me as he said "I'm just saying that it's not too late to make this baby a twin." I laugh, and say "If this baby is your size then I don't think I want twins." Sam finishes tying the gown before asking, and what if she's your size?" I look up at Sam, and ask "You really think we're having a girl?" Sam smiles, and says "I know we are."
"Alright this might be a little uncomfortable but you'll see your baby soon." Doctor Montgomery told me as she inserted "Wanda". I grabbed Sam's hand as I scrunched "There you go. No more pushing, now we get to see your baby." She tells me as I unscrunched, and opened my eyes. "See Em, even the doctor thinks you're pregnant." I hear Doctor Montgomery laugh a little bit before saying "The amount of times I hear some variation of that sentence in a day." "See." Sam says smiling. "I'm just nervous that it was a false positive." I said as Doctor Montgomery started moving the wand around. "I think this will make you feel better." She says smiling before pressing a button, and a loud, but fast noise echoed throughout the room. "That's our baby's heartbeat." I said in tears as I turned my head to Sam, and saw him with tears in his eyes. I turn back to Doctor Montgomery as she turned the screen towards us. "There's your baby right there." I put my hand over my mouth as I let my tears fall, and watched the screen. "Just as I thought. You're measuring at exactly eight weeks pregnant. Congratulations Mom, and Dad. I'll get copies printed for you but before I do is there any questions you have for me?" Doctor Montgomery asks. I look up at Sam, and say "Don't." He laughs, and says "Okay okay, I won't." "Sex I assume?" She asks. "As long as your comfortable, and not bleeding." she adds. "Please don't tell him that. That's what got us here in the first place." I said laughing. Doctor Montgomery smiles, and says "I could buy a house with the amount of Mom's throughout pregnancies, and postpartum that tell me that."
"Wow." I whispered to myself as Sam started driving, and I looked down at the copy of the sonogram. "I'm going to be a Mom." I said to Sam as I looked up. Sam smiles, and says "I'm going to be a Dad." "I can't wait to meet our baby. I hope she looks like you." I said smiling as I leaned against the car window. I see Sam smirk, and ask "She?" "Yes, You've convinced me. I think we're having a girl." Our baby girl." Sam said smiling as he grabbed my hand, and lightly kissed it.
"Hey Em, how are you?" Macee asked smiling as she hugged me. We had brunch planned with them for weeks but we were still keeping my pregnancy a secret before telling the team, and all of our friends. I hugged Macee as I said "I woke up feeling sick but besides that I've been great." "Oh Em, we could've rescheduled." Macee says concerned. I smile, and say "No it's fine. I'm feeling a lot better now but just incase I might skip the mimosa. I don't need to add a hangover on top of this."
"So what's up with Joe, and the apartment search?" Sam asks Logan as he took a sip of coffee. Logan puts his mug down before saying "Last I heard him, and Ja'Marr are leasing a place together. I'm not sure even they're signing though." After a bit of conversation our food finally arrived. "Finally. I have been so hungry the last few days." I said to Macee before taking a bite of my food. Macee laughs, and asks "What are you pregnant, or something? I blush down at my plate, and don't say anything before I heard Macee gasp. "Oh my god you are. You're pregnant?" She says. I nod before saying "We just had our first ultrasound this morning but we aren't telling anyone yet so if you could keep the secret for a little while it'd mean a lot to us." " of course, Congratulations Emma. I'm so happy for you." Macee says as she hugs me. "Your going to be the best Mom."
