"This'll be cold," Dr. Smith warns, spreading the gel across Rachel's stomach. She grins, gripping Finn's hand tightly as the doctor moves her sonogram instrument over Rachel's stomach.
"First time parents?" Dr. Smith asks.
Finn nods, smiling slightly. "Yeah."
"Excited to see your baby?"
"Most definitely," Rachel affirms.
"Well, there it is." The doctor gestures to the screen, and Finn inhales sharply. It's a little murky and little grey and just little in general, but he can see the outline of a baby – their baby. His breath hitches and he feels tears well up in his eyes. He glances over at Rachel and notices that she's teary eyed, too.
"It's all so real," Rachel whispers.
Finn leans over and presses his forehead against hers. "I love you."
She half laughs, half sobs. "I love you, too."
He kisses her softly, squeezing her hand, and he laughs a little as he pulls away because it's all so surreal. He feels like it's hitting him for the first time that he and Rachel are bringing a real, liveperson into this world.
Rachel shakes her head and wipes at her eyes. "This is really happening," she murmurs in disbelief.
Honestly? He can't believe it either.
The next chapter will be longer I promise😊
