I was now 24 weeks pregnant 6 months. I had work today I wasn't feeling right like something was wrong with the baby. I worked my entire shift and I went to see Alex because he could always make me feel better about this stuff. I walked to the pediatric center and looked around I finally found him in a patients room and I didn't want to interrupt so I walked to the babies. I got to the window were you could see all the little babies wrapped up like burritos. They were all so cute and so precious I couldn't help but feel my belly and imagine the future but I just was feeling skeptical. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned my head to see Alex. "Hey what are you doing?" Alex asked with a concerned face "I don't know something doesn't feel right, I'm probably wrong but I just want to make sure." "Okay let's go right now I can just have someone cover for me." "Okay". We walked to the ultrasound room and I laid down on the table, I got ready like usual and waited for the doctor. I noticed Alex standing next to me with his arms crossed and a zoned out look on his face. The doctor came in and I just looked at the black monitor that would soon show me my baby boy. "Hi how are we today?" She asked "well I just have a big feeling that something is wrong, and I just want to get it checked out." "Okay we will just take a look I'm sure everything is fine." I just nod my head okay. She puts the cold gel on my belly and soon we see the baby boy that I already love so much. She takes a long look and looks back at me then back at the screen "okay everything looks okay besides there is a little bump around here." And she circled my baby's abdomen area "it could mean different things not all bad." She said trying to reassure me "it could be a tumor though right?" I said my voice shaky "It could yes." "And that is what it most likely is right?" I said and she just nodded her head yes. I held back the tears in my eyes and looked over at Alex who had his arms crossed and his gaze on the floor.
After the appointment I went home and Alex went back to work. When I got home I saw the crib that Alex had put together a little while ago and I fell down and started crying not being able to stop.
