Life

Why so tiny?

2 weeks later

"What do you want a boy or a girl?" Val says excitedly. We walk out to the car, getting ready to go to my appointment.

"I don't know, I'm happy with what ever as long as the baby is healthy, why are you so eager to know anyway?" I say getting into my seat.

"I'm eager because I'm going to be a GODMOTHER!" She sings, "I was thinking a boy Valentin, a girl Valine"

"It's funny that you think I would name my baby boy off a dancer from DANCING WITH THE STARS. Or it have your name, I mean I like the name maya for a girl and Brody for a boy.... But there are many more names in the work than those" I say trying to catch my breath.

"Hey take it easy, I love those names" she says.

I pull in front of the last place I want to be right now. Oliver's. I call his mom.

"Hey baby, Charleston summer sure is hot" she says in her adorable accent while walking out to her car.

"Yes it is, especially for me" I say, then someone catches my eye.  I see Oliver trailing behind his mom like a little kid.

"Why is he here? I thought it was just his mom?" Val whispers into my ear.

"I...I......I don't know" I whisper back.

"I hope you don't mind, Oliver needs to come, he's the father, maybe hearing the heart beat will change his mind about his actions" she says and looks at Oliver on his phone, then rolls her eyes. I let out a small chuckle.

"No the fuck it won't!" He yells. She snatched his phone and shove it in her purse.

"Just follow me there and well go in together, then maybe lunch?"

"Sounds perfect" we both roll our windows up.

"I can't believe he's coming, he doesn't but he does deserve to come at the same time" I say, "I mean he probably thinks I did this on purpose to ruin his life or trap him. But no it was his dumb ass who said we don't need condoms because ur on birth control, but birth control doesn't always work!"

"Maybe I should go home after the ultrasound so, you guys can work out your differences" Val says.

"How ur car is at my house? And I need you there....for support" I say.

"Ehhh fine I'll stay just don't start to cry in the car ok" she says smiling.

"Okay"

"Okay" she says back to me. "We're just like Hazel and Gus, aww best friend goals" she looks at me.

"Your so corny" I laugh at her stupid smiley face.

"So school starts next week, what are you going to do, its our junior year, and your only gonna be there for half"

"I have a meeting with the principal and guidance counselor tomorrow about it, it's all so stressful" I sigh. "Oh look a way to end this conversation, were here" I smile.

After I've signed in, which Oliver looked at me with disgust the whole time😒, I sat and waited, next to Oliver😒. Fuck my life right.  After a couple minutes the nurse came out.

"Ms. Andrews" Oliver gets up and true to help me like a gentleman. I roll my eyes to my self and turn down his offer. I'm not mad because Oliver wanted to help me. I'm mad because my last name is Anderson and she purposely called his last name, like no bitch there's a reason my last name was after my first name.

Everyone follows behind me as I follow the nurse. "Thanks" I give her a fake smile, fucking bitch.

"The doctor will be in soon" she says then leaves. I feel a wave of nausea come over me.

"Hand me the trash can please" I say breathing heavily. Val immediately hands it to me. I barely have time to grab it before I throw up in it. The doctor walks in just as I'm almost done.

"Still have the morning sickness I see, let it all out" she says and comes over to me and rubs my back. When I'm finished she takes the trash can and hands it to Oliver.

"That's fucking gross" he says and sets it down.

"I guess your feeling better now that you got all that out, so no need to ask....has the baby been kicking any?"

"Yes it's actually kicking right now" I say. Val takes Oliver's hand and places it on my bump.

He tries  to pull it away but Val says "You put the thing in her, probably tore up that p***y, this is her stomach, don't act like that" she rolls her eyes.

"I fucking love you, you know that?" I say and she nods.

"Can you lay back. Then I button your jeans and pull your shirt up" she instructs.  She takes her ultrasound tools and the gel off the counter. "This is cold I'm not going to lie" she puts the gel on my lower abdomen ( fucking cold as shit) then takes the tool and looks for my baby's face.

"Can we see the sex of the baby?" Mrs.Karry says.

"I will try......" She looks around and presses some buttons. "I'm sorry, but it's really hard to tell, the baby isn't big enough,  maybe for the 5 month appointment, if you could can you guys leave me with Ava so I can talk to her in private" they all leave the room.

"Am I not eating right? is it because I have something wrong with my baby?" I start to tear up.

"No none of that, the baby is just small, next week if you want, come in and we'll find out the sex,  but if you want to wait till next month that fine"

"I'll come in with my mom and dad, just us three next week" I say.

"Well then your good to go I'll make the appointment for you, don't worry" she says. I buckle my jeans and whip off the gel then get my cloths in order.

"Thank you" I say to her then walk out the room. They must have gone to the waitron because they're not in the hallway.

"Is everything alright?" Oliver says. My head goes back in shock.

"Yeah, the baby is just small that all, let's go get lunch, there's a burger place across the street"  we all walk out the building. My hand enclosed in Oliver's hand.
