Jack's POV

My hand is still intertwined with Signe's, when the doctor walks back in. She sits in the same place she was a few minutes ago.

"Well.. I did some mesurements with the head midwife.. your baby is missing about 76% of the right leg. Mine and the head midwife's only suggestion is.. Abortion."

"Wait.. What?" I start, obviously pissed off. "So you are trying to tell my pregnant girlfriend that she should think about having an abortion because it's missing a leg? What if it had down syndrome? We came to find out the gender, not for you to tell her to have a fucking abortion! She's 17 weeks pregnant!" I look down at Signe, she likes how I'm sticking up for her.

"It's best option! You're going to save a lot money!" The Doctor said.

"It's would rather have all of my kids with severe disabilities then have all the money in the world! People with disabilities are the best people on Earth! And the best option is to get a prosthetic leg, I'll be pulling out my wallet and giving whoever the money! One leg, who gives a shit?" I grabbed Signe's arm and pulled her up. I stormed out and went to the resptionest.

"Call us when her actual midwife is in, if not, I'm suing!" I pull Signe put of the building and try not to snap at her because I'm so mad.

"Thank you.." She says softly.

"For what?"

"She was a bitch. I don't know how can anyone could abort a baby because it only has one leg.. we can handle it.. Right?" I stop and hug her.

"Of course! It won't make him or her any different. We will love them, and make sure they feel comfortable at home. We'll do whatever it takes." We hug for a few more minutes.

"And who knows! Maybe if our baby had that leg, one day in the future it would need to be amputated! It doesn't have to go through that pain!"
