There haven't been many moments in my life when I felt so anxious, that my body couldn't stay still in one place, perhaps during the horrible nights I spent in jail, a memory that I kept, or rather, hid somewhere. of my mind.
But maybe it wasn't a good comparison, because that night anxiety consumed me in a bad way, but now, it was different.
Rose was sitting in the clinic chair, reading a fashion magazine, holding it in one hand while the other was resting on the bulge in her belly, she was wearing a white dungaree, with a t-shirt underneath in the same color, with the intention of To facilitate the ultrasound, I really wanted to have at least some of her calm.
Unlike her, I was walking from one side to the other, not caring about a couple's eyes on me.
— Baby, sit down for a bit, you're going to pierce the floor. — Rose said, catching my attention.
- I'm right here. — I responded, stopping a little.
—Patient Roseanne Manoban Park.
I breathed a sigh of relief, walking over to Rose and giving my hand to help her get up, her belly wasn't small at all compared to other pregnant women, which indicated that the baby would be big.
We walked to the office, being greeted by the obstetrician who had been treating us since the beginning of the pregnancy.
— You can go in. — She said smiling, as she walked to the machine next to the stretcher. — How are we mom?
— I feel like a ball. — She and I laughed at Rose's comment, while she got on the stretcher with my help.
— Your baby is big, unfortunately this will make you a little more tired than usual.
I helped Rose take off part of the overalls, lifting her t-shirt and lowering it to her waist, exposing her beautiful belly.
— Will he open his legs today? — I asked anxiously.
The doctor took the ultrasound machine, squeezing the gel onto Rose's belly while she typed on the small computer.
— Have you already chosen the names?
— Lily if she's a girl, and Benjamin if she's a boy. — Rose replied, holding my hand tightly.
The doctor passed the device, looking attentively at the screen in front of her, she approached, passing the device further down, I smiled at the blurred image of the baby, after a few seconds we heard his heartbeat, it didn't even take a full minute until Rose started crying, followed by me.
— Good. — The doctor smiled at us, freezing the image again, pointing her finger at the screen. — Congratulations, you're Lily's mommy.
Rose and I stared at the same time, crying even more, I hugged her tightly and gave her a brief kiss on the lips, still trying to reason.
