Don't forget to VOTE, COMMENT, and SHARE! Also I was reminded by a sweet reader that Erik is honestly a terrible person so he'll be kind of meaner in the chapters to come, it probably won't be too much of a change though.


Erik doesn't find my 'surprise' so funny and instead just glares at me before turning to the doctor who is clearly uncomfortable. The doctor stands up and says "Well how about I go and let mom change into a gown so we can get a better look of what's cooking in there,"

He's failing miserably at trying to make this situation better.

The doctor then pulls out a hospital gown from one of the drawers and hands it to me. "I'll be back in a few minutes so we can take a look at the baby," I nod but I'm screaming at the doctor with my eyes. Don't you dare leave me here alone, with him.

The doctor leaves the room, closes the door, and I reluctantly look over to Erik who's just glaring at me. I become uncomfortable with all of his staring so I start looking all around the room. The decorations are actually pretty nice in here. Once I get bored I look back at Erik who's still glaring.

I shift in my seat before saying "What?" Erik barley acknowledges me and says "Didn't he tell you to change. Change," I look skeptically at him. I swear if he wasn't basically killing me with his eyes I would swear he was hitting on me. I don't rebuke Erik and get up and take my shirt off without losing eye contact with him. I fully undress and notice that his eyes haven't left mine, they haven't even wandered to the rest of my body.

Okay he really is mad.

I quickly put on the gown and sit back down. I soon get tired of Erik's staring, well more like glaring so I ask forcefully "What?!" I expect for Erik to at least yell back but all says with clenched teeth are "Shut up," I shake my head and he says "Shut up. You don't want me to talk to you right now, so just shut up,"

I gulp and say "This is supposed to be a happy time. If you don't want to be here leave," For the first time Erik looks away but doesn't get up. He just stays sitting.

We both sit in silence waiting for the doctor to finally come in, and when he does it's like I can breathe again. Erik wouldn't kill me in front of a witness.

Right?

The doctor begins to ask me questions more in depth than what the nurse was asking. Once he finishes he claps his hands and rolls over to me. "So Zahria, could I just have you lay down? It's time for us to check up on this one," I happily lie down and hear Erik ask the doctor, "You can see the baby this early? She's only 4 months,"

This was the first time he wasn't being a complete asshole. Yay.

The doctor nods and says "Yep, right now the baby is about the size of a turnip. The baby also already has it's own personal fingerprints. Now we may be able to see the gender of it today, but don't get too upset if we don't. Right now since it's so small we'll only be able to tell if it's in the perfect position," The doctor then puts on his gloves and rolls over to me in a rolly chair with some lotiony sort of thing, it's not my first ultrasound with the baby so I know what to expect.

"Could you lift your gown for me?" The doctor asks and I oblige. He squirts the cool liquid on my belly and places the wand like instrument as it projects on the monitor. It takes a while but soon we can see the baby on the screen. "And that's your baby," The doctor says moving around my belly.

The first time I saw the image I cried but now I just think it's completely magical.

I see the baby moving around and I laugh it's like he can feel how cold the gel was. We watch the baby squirm around for a few seconds when the doctor has to take it's heartbeat and all of that stuff. The doctor keeps moving around my stomach and says "Okay so it doesn't look like we'll be able to tell the gender today, but don't let that discourage you," I soon feel Erik's hand rubbing my shoulder, but I can tell that he's more hurt than me.
