Together Again

Untitled Part 7

Both Reba and Brock were excited they were getting ready for their 12 week ultrasound

''Oh I cant wait to see our baby on the screen'' Brock said smiling as he wrapped his arms round Reba's waist and kissing the top of the head.

''Me either, you know it really is real when you hear their little heart beating'' Reba turned around to give Brock a kiss on the lips ''I love you Brock Hart''

''I love you to Reba Hart, are you ready to go?''

''Yep!'' Reba started to jump up and down she was so excited.

Brock laughed ''Come on Red let's go''

They were both sitting in the waiting room waiting to be called, they were looking at all the other pregnant women that were sitting there waiting for their turn.

''Your gonna be like that soon'' Brock said trying to make light conversation whilst the waited to be seen.

''Like what?'' Reba asked

''Fat''

''Hey!'' Reba hit him on the arm

''Ouch, I didn't mean it like that, you look beautiful when your pregnant'' He said trying to butter Reba up

''Really?'' she questioned

''Yeah'' he smiled

''awwww your so sweet, do you know what I don't like about being pregnant?''

''What?''

''Having to pee every 10 minutes''

Brock started laughing ''It can be that bad''

''You try being pregnant the size of a hippo trying to get upstairs before you pee you pants, and having a baby push on your bladder'' she snapped

''Oh ok ok''

''Reba Hart'' The nurse said as she checked her list

''Yep'' Reba replied

The nurse smiled ''This way please'' She turned to walk back into the room and Reba and Brock followed.

''If you could just lay on the bed and lift your top up for me'' The nurse smiled, Reba did as she was asked.

''So how many weeks are you?''

''12''

''Right then let's get started, I'm just going to put some gel on your stomach'' she said as she poured it onto Reba's stomach

''Ooooh that's cold'' Reba shivered

''Let's see how your baby's doing shall we?'' The nurse placed the probe onto Reba's stomach, she moved it around so she could find a clear view of the baby, but she couldn't see anything, she placed the probe back on the slot. ''I'll be right back'' she said as she turned to leave the room.

Reba just looked at Brock who looked at her and shrugged his shoulder's.

The nurse returned back to the room with the doctor ''Hey guys, let's take a look at your baby'' he said as placed the probe back on Reba's stomach.

''Is there anything in there?'' Reba asked, she could tell by the doctor's expression that something wasn't right.

''Not what you would expect to see at 12 weeks'' the doctor replied

''Is there something wrong?'' Reba asked with panic in her voice

The doctor put down the probe ''I'm sorry Reba but there's no heartbeat''

Reba just looked at him her eye's slightly glazed.

''These things happen sometimes but we don't know why, give it a couple of months and try again, your healthy and your age shouldn't be a major problem, I'm gonna leave you two alone, again I'm really sorry, I'll speak to you both soon'' the doctor and nurse both left and the room was silent.

Reba was silent on the drive back home from the hospital, she never said a word just looked out of the window.

''Honey I'm sorry, but we could give it a couple of months and try again, Dr George said you were healthy, maybe this time it wasn't meant to be'' Brock was upset but hid it from Reba, he knew she was torn up but didn't know what to say or do. Reba didn't say a word to him she just stayed quiet.

They pulled up into the driveway and got out of the car and walked into the house.

''Can I get you anything, maybe some coffee?'' He asked trying to break the silence, Reba just looked at him ''Well I'm going to have some, back in a minute'' he said as he walked into the kitchen.

Reba just sat on the couch and broke down, she was heart broken to be told that your basically not pregnant after thinking you were was al ot to bare, all she wanted was Brock to hold her.

Brock had finished making himself some coffee ''Hey homey maybe we should go away, it might be good for us, what do you say?'' there was silence ''Reba?'' he walked into the living room and saw Reba crying he took a deep breath and walked over and sat next to her and just held her. Reba had clung to him as tight as she could, she had never felt so much pain even separating from Brock wasn't as bad as this. She wanted this so badly after everything she had been through, she just wanted the chance to be happy again, well she was happy but she wanted to be just that little bit more happier.
