Why Try

Chapter 27

~two weeks later~
Today me and Justin are going to our first baby scan and I'm so nervous, I think he is too. I'm currently eight weeks pregnant and between me and Justin we have both brought so much stuff for our baby. All of our friends and family know I'm pregnant and they are all so happy for us, my mom was shocked but she cried, she's happy for us.
Me and Justin are on our way to the scan and the atmosphere is chill we are both nervous so we just don't know what to say to each other. Justin parked the car in the private parking lot and we made our way inside. Justin held my hand as we approached the front desk where a woman who looked like she was in her late twenties was sat. She looked up and smiled at us "how can I help you guys?" She asked sweetly.
"We have an appointment with Aubrey" I said to her as the woman began to type on her computer.
"Yes, if you take a seat in the waiting room to the left she will be with you very shortly"
"thankyou". Me and Justin sat down and I lent my head on his shoulder.
"What if something is wrong" I said as I stared at the pictures on the wall.
"Don't think like that babe. Everything will be fine, I know it will". I instantly felt so much better when Justin said that. "Aribella Grande please" I heard my name being called and I looked to my left to then be greeted by a woman who looked like my mom. So weird. We followed her in to a room and she told me to lay on the bed and pull my top up and my leggings down a little. Justin held my hand and I looked up at him and smiled.
"Hello, I'm Aubrey and I will be your midwife all through your pregnancy Aribella " I nodded my head, I could hardly speak because I was nervous.
"I-I'm Justin, nice to meet you" he said to Aubrey and shook her hand and she said hello and smiled back at him.
"So this jel will be a little cold. She put some jell on my stomach and I gasped. Shit. Aubrey began to move the thing in her hand over my belly, I don't even know what it's called. My heart started to race, why is she so qui-.
"There's your bab-" she cut her self off and put the object down. I looked up at Justin with a confused face.
"Let me just go and check something with the doctor". My heart suddenly began to feel like it was going at a million miles per hour why does she need the doctor? Something is wrong.
"Don't worry babe, it's gonna be fine" Justin said and kissed my head. I couldn't even respond, this can't be happening. I felt tears slip down my cheeks and the door opened and it was Aubrey with a doctor. They were speaking in hush tones and she sat back down on her chair and picked up the object and began to move it over my stomach. "Please" I whispered. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting. Your baby is absolutely fine, the baby was just hard to pick up on the screen". I let out a big sigh, thank god my baby is okay Justin squeezed my hand and then kissed my forehead
"Told you it would be okay" he whispered in my ear.
"Congratulations " Aubrey said
"There are your baby's arms, legs, head and body". More tears slipped down my cheeks, happy tears. My baby is well and healthy!. I can't believe this! I'm so happy.
"Would you like to hear your baby's heartbeat?" I nodded my head. She clicked a button and then I heard thee most beautiful sound. The heartbeat. I put my hand over my mouth as I sobbed with happiness. The heartbeat is such a beautiful sound oh my goodness. I looked up at Justin and he was crying too. Aw baby.
"If you want to find out the sex of your baby I can book you in when you're twenty weeks if you want". I haven't even thought about that yet, too much is going through my brain.
"I want to find out..do you?" Justin said looking at me and then to Aubrey. I nodded my head
"Yes please" she picked up her diary and wrote something down.
"These are yours" she handed me some scan pictures and I just stared at them, I'm in love with my baby.
"I will see you soon for your next check up and if you have any worries or questions just call me"
"Okay, thankyou so much"
"You're very welcome and congratulations again." Me and Justin walked out for the building with smiles on our faces. I can't believe me and Justin heard our baby's heartbeat today, I wonder what we will have.
