I'm crying, of course I am. Hearing the first patter of the heartbeat and watching Jays captivated expression.
"It's around 170 bpm which is totally fine for this stage." Dr forester explains.
He smiles at us both.
"I'm very happy for the both of you" he chuckles.
"Wow" Jay says looking at the small foetus on the screen.
He turns to me and his eyes are prickling, tears forming. I smile at him and he hugs me gently. Dr Forester packs away the monitor giving us our moment.
"I'm going to book you in for 6 weeks, but any question or concern do not hesitate to come by. In 6 weeks time we can reveal the gender, have a think whether you would like to know or if you want to keep it a surprise" he explains.
"Taylor are you feeling well" he asks me routinely.
"Yes" I smile breathless.
"Perfect" he smiles back. He types some notes into the computer and then stands.
"Thank you" Jay smiles at him.
"Anytime Jay" he smiles
"And no more scraps" he laughs looking at Jays head and the stitches.
"Didn't think I would notice huh!?" He laughs with Jay.
"Keep those stitches in and don't touch them" Dr forester explains.
We've printed off several copies at reception of the scan. Angela gushes over them, and we smile along with her before leaving.
Once we're out Jay hails a cab and we head home together finally.
"I'm ready now" I say to him looking over at him in the cab.
"I'm ready to tell more people about the baby. Really I've wanted to tell Rach for a while now. And I needed to hear the heartbeat, I needed that Jay" I say smiling at him.
"Of course" he smiles.
"I think it would be nice to tell them all together. I know that Matty and Ross know but we should do it with all of them." I smile.
"Maybe we could invite them over for dinner" he says
"Another bbq maybe" he adds.
"Yes that would be perfect" I say resting my head into his chest.
"Next weekend" I smile.
He strokes my arms with his fingertips. I gaze out of the window, watching the world go by. Before I know it we're at our gates.
"Thanks man" Jay says tipping the driver.
It's the first time we've strolled up to our home. We've always driven. It's oddly relaxing the second you step inside of the gated grounds.
"I feel safe here" I say to him, after the break in we had before at the lake house, safety and security is big on my list as well as Jays. All of the far reaching grounds are gated. It's integral to this place being secure, yet it doesn't feel like imprisonment. And it doesn't spoil the natural beauty of the landscape.
He strokes my hand in his. Listening to the birds and taking in the different trees we have. I wonder for a minute, about planting more. Perhaps we could plant a tree for the baby and watch it grow, a willow tree.
"We could plant a tree for the baby" I say softly.
"Willow tree" I smile.
