The doctor put the jelly stuff on my stomach, and took the tool and rubbed it around. John held my hand as we looked up at the screen. There was a very tiny person inside me. It was insane to think that I am growing a person! John was mesmerized as the doctor pointed out the parts of the baby's body that were already formed. He told me that I was about 3 months along. Which means that I didn't plan this pregnancy. I didn't stop taking my birth control until a month ago. When I told John this, he smiled knowing that we were meant to have this child.

This baby was gonna be a totally different experience than with Candy. 

I hadn't even felt her stomach her entire pregnancy, much less been to a doctors appointment with her. The baby should start kicking anytime now. I wondered why Callie didn't have any symptoms, like morning sickness. Candy, definitely did. She was always puking at school. I don't know why I freaked out so badly when Callie thought she had purposely gotten pregnant. I was actually thrilled, but shocked I guess. I apologized a million times last night for it. This was all happening so fast! 

I'd have to get a different job, and buy baby things. Before, Candy's parents insisted on buying everything! This time, I know I have to step up. That baby up there on that screen, was mine. I already loved it so much. I know Callie will be a great wife and mother, and although I will always love Candy, Callie has a much bigger space in my heart. I can't wait to have this baby with her.

When we got home my mother was there, on a weekday I almost didn't believe it. She was on the couch incredibly hungover.  

"Where have you been callie?" 

Worry clung to her words as she ran towards me and hugged me. 

"I went to get you from school so I could take you to lunch and talk about things, and you weren't there!" 

I pulled away from her. "I went to my doctors appointment today." 

She looked at me funny. 

"I wasn't aware that you could do that, without me since you're a minor." 

I shook my head, "no I can make a gynecologist or obgyn appointment myself." She looked confused but said we needed to talk in private tomorrow. She was staring at my finger and I realized that I had forgotten to tell her that John and I had gotten engaged last night. I was so tired for some reason, I figured it was the baby. So I went to my room to lay down. John followed. When I lay down, I lifted my shirt and looked at my belly. Why haven't I been feeling my baby? Why am I not showing? I need to stop worrying everything will be fine.

THE NEXT DAY

I slept forever, and I'm still tired!!! But good news I felt the baby move around and kick this morning. It just made everything so much more real.  

"Callie Sawyer to the office please" the loud secretary said on the speaker. I gathered my things knowing it was my mother coming to get me for lunch. 

The car ride to the restaurant was silent. When we were seated the questions poured out of my moms mouth. "How far along are you? Do you really love John? When are you two getting married? Are you going to move out?" 

"Mom, slow down!" She exhaled and nodded.  

"I'm about 3 months. I don't plan on getting married until after the baby is born. I really do love John and I plan to stay as long as you let me." 

A tear ran down her rosy cheeks.  

"I will never make you leave." 

I held her hand across the table.  

"Mom I'm sorry, I know you didn't want me to make the same mistakes as you but I love him and his baby died, he was so sad and I wanted to fix it." 

Now I was crying. When our server came to take our order, she looked up and then just kind of started backing up at the sight of our cry fest.  

"Waitress, we are ready to order." I sniffed,and wiped my tears away. 

The tiny waitress pulled out her notepad and we ordered. I'm glad my mother and I could have this time together, I feel much better about my situation now that we've talked. And just about the time I started feeling better, SHE just had to walk in.
