Doctors Appointment

We all walked into doctors clinic, exempt for Jessica. She had college. This felt so weird. Going to get MY baby checked up because I got pregnant. Still can't believed this happened.

"Hello, we have an appointment today for our daughter Cindy Reed." My dad said. "Oh yes. Have a seat" The person behind the desk said. We went and sat down. It was my dad, then sitting next to him was my mom, then lastly me. This is so awkward. I feel like my parents are thinking of me differently. I hope not. That would really hurt if they did.

Beep beep my phone rang. Both my parents looked at me. Whatever. I just left the message that I got because I didn't really feel like taking to anyone. Not even a minute later. My phone beeped again. And again. And again. And again. And once more. What the heck? I thought. I looked at my parents and saw them starring at me. "Arn't you going to get that?" My mom said. "I guess so" I sighed. I opened up the 5 messages that I got.

"Oh Cindy, are you getting an abortion?"

"Why arnt you at school? To scared to come back after that detention?"

"Aw Cindy to scared to come to school?"

"Oh is the baby coming early?"

"Staying home today? Huh"

What? Who are these people and how did they even get my number??? "Who was it?" My mom asked, seeing me just staring at my phone. "No one" I sighed putting my phone away. "What do u mean no one. It was obviously someone." She said. "It was just some people from school." I said.

"Cindy Reed" The doctor said. "This conversation isn't over yet." My mom said. I sighed. We all got up and went and followed the doctor into the room. "Hello. I'm Olivia King, What seems to be the problem?" Doctor King said. I looked at my mom hoping she could tell her. She just shook her head and motioned for me to tell her. I sighed. The doctor was looking at me expectantly. I took a deep breath before speaking. I know this isn't my parents, but it's still hard for me. "I'm pregnant" . I said to the Doctor. "Oh." She said. "Do you know how far along you are?" Doctor King asked me. "Um I'm not really sure. Maybe 3 weeks?" I said, coming out more like a question. "Ok well that is ok. I will be right back and get the machine so we can do an ultrasound" Doctor King said. "Ok" I said.

5 long minutes later, she was back. "Okay could you lay back and lift your shirt up a bit?" She said. I nodded and did what she said. "Thing might be a little cold." Doctor King said, before putting the gel on. I gasped at the cold sensation. She gave a an apologetic look. After she finished putting the gel on my stomach, she took the stick and swirled it around my stomach. "Found it" She said. "Cindy it seems that you are a month and a half pregnant. The baby is healthy and everything seems to be ok. Would you like to see your baby? She asked me. "Sure" I said nervously. "Here it is" Doctor King said, showing me the screen. "Wow its so small." I said looking at the little human being. "Would you like me to print out the pictures of your baby for you?" Doctor King asked. "Yeah, sure" I said still in awe. "Okay I will be right back." The doctor said.  When Doctor King left to go get the pictures, I looked at my parents. "Mom. Dad. Do you see this?" I asked them. "Yea we do" My dad said. "Look Cindy, we don't really support this." My mom said. "Well me neither, but their isn't really anything I can do about it" I said. "Are u even keeping the baby?" My dad asked. "I don't know." I said unsurely. "Well you should think about it" my mom said. "I know" I said.

"Here are your sonogram photos" Doctor King said, coming inside the room and handing them to me. "Thank you" I said. " well I want you guys to come back in 4 weeks so we can get Cindy checked up again." The doctor said. " okay thank you." My dad said. Shorty after we made the next appointment, we left and went home. That appointment was very awkward. I guess I should get used to it though since there are many more to come.
