Jennie's POV —4 weeks later— I'm now a week away from passing the miscarriage period. I'm also now showing. And I'm letting myself show. Today Jack and I are going for a follow up appointment to check on the baby. The doctor said that this appointment, we'll be able to tell if the baby will survive or not. Kodak is also getting big. He's a month old and is starting to grow out of his puppy phase. But other then that, everything is good. I sigh and get up and walk to the closet. I then quickly grab an outfit

and walk to the bathroom. I quickly change and then throw my hair in a pony tail. For my makeup, all I do is put on some mascara and chapstick. I then walk back out and through on some shoes. "Jennieeee." Jack says walking into the room. I look at him and he smiles. "Go away." I say and he laughs. "Are you almost ready?" He asks and I nod. I grab my purse and he grabs his keys. "Alright Kodak. We'll be back." I say and then let him and then we walk downstairs and out to Jack's Jeep.
As we arrive at the doctors, my heart starts to race. This is it. This determines the baby's future and/or mine and Jack's. We both get out and walk inside and I sign in. We then sit down and wait. I watch as a few mom who are a lot farther along then me, walk out smiling with their husbands or boyfriends. I sigh and find my hands gravitate towards my stomach. I let them rest on the little bump, rubbing small circles with my thumb. "Jennie Gilinsky." The nurse says opening the door. I look at Jack and then we get up and follow the nurse down to the room. "Go ahead and sit down on the bed." She says and I nod. Jack takes my bag and I sit down on the little table thingy. She takes my vitals and everything and feels around on my stomach. "Everything seems good. So I'll go ahead and let the doctor know to come in." She says and I nod and thanks her. She smiles and then walks out. "I am so nervous right now. I'm pretty sure I'm shaking." I say holding my hand up and sure enough I am. He smiles at me "Everything will be fine." He says and I nod. A few minutes later, there's a knock on the door and then the doctor walks in. "Hi Jennie. Hello Jack." She says and smiles at us. We smile back. "How are you feeling?" She asks me and I nod. "Good. Pregnant." I say and she laughs and nods "That's good." She says and I laugh "So today, I'm gonna do a 3D scan, which makes it easier to see the baby, and then we'll be able to tell if you'll make it." She says and I nod. "So go ahead and lay back and pull up your shirt a little." She says and I nod. I do as told and then she puts gel on my stomach and then gets the ultrasound thing and spreads the jelly around. Almost instantly you can head the baby's heart beat. "Strong heart beat." She says and I nod. She continues to move it around and I watch as she nods and writes things down, or studies one area. But doctors try and show no emotion which sucks ass so I don't know if she sees that I'm gonna miscarry or if she sees that the baby is healthy. "Wow. It's tiny." Jack says and the doctor laughs "The baby is the size of a plum." She says. "Your saying baby? Like it's still alive?" I ask and she smiles "Yes. You guys have a very healthy and strong baby. I don't see any signs of miscarriage." She says and I smile and look at Jack. He's smiling too. "So this is the baby." She says turning the screen towards me and I look at it. She moves it around and I see the little plum sized fetus. "As you can hear, there's a heart beat and usually when you miscarry or we do ultrasounds and the baby is gonna miscarry, it would be a very faint heart beat." She says and I nod. She turns the screen back to her and takes the thing off me. She then wipes my stomach and I sit up. "I printed some pictures for you guys so I'll run and get those real quick." She says and we nod. She walks out and I hop down and run to Jack. He laughs and hugs me as I sit on his lap and hug him. "We're gonna have a baby." I say and he smiles "Now I'm the one who's nervous." He says and I laugh. "Your gonna be a good dad." I say and he makes a face "You sure about that?" He asks and I smile "Completely."
