"Why didn't you tell me?" Marco's voice boomed with authority as Cay's body shook from his outburst. "I tried" she cried softly. "I was six weeks pregnant, when I found out. I tried coming by your home, everyday for a week, only to be told that y...
(This chapter will have some pretty potent torture scenes, so just giving fair warning to the faint of heart!)
Marco, Julian, Jules and Andre waited patiently with Cay as they waited for Dr. Marchand. She was kind enough to do another sonogram since Marco missed the last two.
Otherwise, it would just be weekly appointments for the next six and a half weeks, a little over a month and their daughter would be here. He couldn't believe it.
He and Cay spent the night in Julian's room the night before, but he woke up about three hours after they went to bed and told them that he was okay and didn't need them to sleep with him.
He had also told Cay that while he 'was gone', that they made him bathe alone, but Mrs. Illena stood outside the door in case he needed anything.
So that night, the first night he was home, he asked Cay to let him be by himself but she could wait outside. It was hard for her to do it, and Marco stood there watching her cry because their son was growing up.
"Cay, Dr. Marchand is ready for you and your family" Debra, Dr. Marchand's nurse said as she held the door open.
Once they got into the room, Cay rolled the waist of her leggings down, while they got out some of the protective paper, laid it across her and then she raised her shirt.
The doctor squirted the gel on her belly, and Julian laughed at the face she made because it was cold.
Marchand let them hear the heartbeat first and Julian was enthralled. He couldn't wrap his mind around what he was hearing.
"Wow" he breathed. "That's Izzy's heart beating?" He asked with all of the wonder of a four year old.
"It is baby. And the next thing you get to see is her actually in my tummy and you'll get to see her heart beating, not just hear it" Cay told him.
After moving the wand around a bit, Marchand found the perfect image and everyone got deathly quiet as they stared at the image on the screen.

Marco's hand immediately went to his mouth as the other hand reached for Cay's. He was completely speechless as they watched their daughter move about, stretch her little hand and at one point, she put her little thumb into her mouth.
Cay's Doctor said she was happy with her weight, her coloring, blood pressure, etc. Cay had taken great care of herself despite all that had occurred the last two weeks.
She also printed out pictures for Julian and Jules and instructed her to make an appointment for a week out.
Once they were in the car, Julian kept staring at the picture of his baby sister and finally broke his silence.
"I think next to mommy and Aunt Jules, Izzy is the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Oh and well Gallis too." He was referring to Mac's fifteen year old daughter.
