"Okay, lay down for me," Arizona said as she pulled up the stool from under the counter.

Throwing my jacket on the table next to me, I climbed up on the exam table and laid back as Arizona lifted up my shirt and squirted out jelly on my stomach.

"So, how long have you been feeling nauseous?"

"Probably a week maybe two? It started after the contest." I whispered, holding my shirt up.

"Okay, well...you just took a pregnancy test, so we won't know for a few minutes."

As I was sitting on the table, I stared up at the ceiling when I hear a soft knock on the door.

"Come in?" Arizona said, pushing herself away from the table.

Seeing the door open slowly, I saw a tan hand wrap around the door before they finally stepped into the room.

"Jackson..." I sighed quietly.

"What's going on here?" He asked, holding Eliza in his arms.

"Have you not told him?" Arizona hissed at me.

"Um...no. That's why I came to you."

"Okay, can someone tell me what's going on, and stop whispering, I can hear you." He blurted out.

Resting on my elbows, Arizona grabbed the towel on her leg and cleaned the jelly off my stomach.

"I'm just here for the test, I don't-"

"Test? Like...pregnancy test?" He questioned, cradling Eliza.

Glancing over at Arizona, her eyes widened as she turned to face the monitor.

"I don't...we...don't know yet," I whispered, catching smirk on Jackson's face.

"Uh...how long has it been? For the test?" He asked, walking over to my side.

"You can find out right now, actually...you results came back." Arizona smiled.

"Are we?" I asked sitting up on the table.

"Yes, you are...we can take a look if you want?"

"Yeah, sure."

Laying back down, I pulled my shirt and started this process all over again but this time I wasn't alone. Feeling Eliza's little feet pressing down on the foam bedding around my shoulder, Jackson's hand intertwine with mine as we watched the monitor with anticipation.

"...Okay...and...there...it is. You have a little teddy bear, right there."

Watching the monitor, you could see my oval shaped uterus morph into this small and warm home for a child I have so much love for already. Their small body looks so fragile and tender, that it seems like its cradling up against the inner walls.

"Bubba..." Eliza said as she pointed at the monitor.

"Yeah, Elle...it's a little bubba," Jackson whispered.

"How far along am I?" I asked Arizona, who smiled at the screen.

"10 weeks...and 4 days."

Turning my head, Jackson immediately looks down at me with a large smile on his face.

"When you won the Harper Avery?" 

"I guess so?" I laughed.

Walking out of the room, the two of us said goodbye to Arizona as she was on her way to another patient. Eliza was already falling asleep on Jackson's arms that we just stood quietly in the elevator.
