Be My Thief

Six Weeks

This chapter will be in Brandon's point of view.

"Calm down," she tells me.

I then notice I'm shaking my leg, which was probably annoying her.

"I'm sorry," I say.

She smiles. "Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine."

"Am I not the one who should be telling you to that everything's gonna be fine?"

All she does is smile.

"Callie Adams Foster," a nurse shouts. "Callie Adams Foster."

Callie stands up, I follow her.

"I'm Callie," she says.

"In here," the nurse says and points to one of the rooms.

***

When we get inside the room, the nurse hands her a dress, tells her to change into it, and that the doctor will be in shortly. The nurse then goes outside.

Callie starts taking off her shirt.

"Oh," I say. "I'll turn around."

"You don't have to."

I smile and turn around anyway. I feel like she needs her privacy.

"You can turn back around," she says.

When I turn around, she is already sitting on the bed, so I go and stand next to her.

I'm scared. I try not to show it, but I don't think I hid it well because soon she asks me, "You okay?"

"Yeah. You?"

She shrugs and touches her stomach. "Nervous."

I put my hand on her shoulder. She grabs it and holds it until the doctor comes in.

"Miss... Adams Foster?" the doctor asks.

"You can just call me Callie."

"Alright Callie. I'm Doctor Landon."

Callie nods.

The doctor looks at me. "And, you are?"

"Brandon."

She looks at me as though she expected something more. "Okay, well then," she says. "Callie, why don't you lay down and put up your feet here."

I go so that I'm by Callie's head. I stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

The doctor does something and then something appears on the screen.

She smiles and points at a little blob on the screen. "That's your baby."

Callie smiles and looks at me. I smile too. She grabs my hand and turns back to the monitor.

"So, I'd say you're about... six weeks. Would that make sense for you?"

"Yes," Callie says.

"Okay, now, it's still a little early. I would recommend taking it easy and try not to stress too much."

Callie nods.

"Good, good. Now, you know your options right?"

"Yes, I know," Callie answers.

"Would you like a picture?"

"Yes please," Callie says and looks at me.

I smile and nod.
