Trust and Faith

Nothing's Ever Easy

"And if you look right here, you're going to see little hands up by the face." The ultrasound tech, Vanessa, pointed out.

Brian got up off his chair leaning forward to get a better look at the screen, "oh my god." He said in amazement, "I see them. Kas, you see?" He asked looking at his girlfriend laying down next to him.

Kassi was smiling ear to ear, "I see, I see." She was so happy everything looked to be on track. Blood work and all the scans came back perfect so it looked like Baby Quinn was healthy. As happy as she was to be having another baby, she was smiling the most because of Brian. He was asking so many questions and wanted to make sure he didn't miss a single thing that Vanessa was pointing out to them.

"Is that a nose?" Brian asked again getting a closer look at the monitor.

Vanessa zoomed in closer, "Sure is." She said hitting a couple buttons to capture the shot. "Looks like they want mommy and daddy to see their little face. That's a great view, I'll print out one for you both."

"Mommy and daddy..."Brian whispered to himself still in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was actually going to be a daddy. Now that he was sitting here looking at his child, it was more real than it had ever been up to this point.
Vanessa printed out a bunch of different pictures for the two of them. "No way to tell the sex yet is there?" Brian asked as he looked at the pictures in his hand.
"Still a little too early but soon enough, we should be able to tell." She answered. "Now Kassi, the lab is expecting you downstairs for your Rhogam shot."

Kassi nodded and used a towel to wipe off all the gel from her belly.

"Rhogam shot? What's that?" Brian's ears perked up when he heard this.

"I have a rarer blood type so I need a couple shots throughout the pregnancy so it doesn't effect the baby." Kassi explained. "I had them with the boys too."

"Is it dangerous?" He asked looking to Vanessa for answers.

"Not at all. It's just routine for women with O negative blood types. Perfectly safe for the little one." She answered taking the towel from Kassi and throwing it in the hamper beside her.

"Oh okay." He said taking Kassi's hand to help her up off the bed. "Sorry, kinda new at all this."

"You're cute when you worry." Kassi replied leaning into Brian's chest as he swung his arm around her pulling her close.

"No need to worry, your baby looks super healthy and already seems to be very lucky. Have a good day you two and don't forget to schedule your 20 week ultrasound at the desk before you go." Vanessa instructed. "Oh and on a side note, my husband and I are huge fans of your show." Brian thanked her and signed a couple things for her husband and friends even though she insisted she would get in trouble with her bosses if they found out.

"Our little secret." He said with a wink as he followed Kassi out to book her next appointment.

They headed over to Danny, Kassi's ex husband's, house to pick up the kids then it was off to Staten Island for a long weekend. The entire drive over, all Brian could talk about was the ultrasound. Kassi couldn't believe how quickly Brian had a change of heart about the pregnancy. He seemed to be over the moon in love with this baby already.

Once they pulled up in front of Danny's house the mood changed. They were excited to see the kids but neither wanted to deal with Danny and his attitude.
"One insult out of his mouth this time and I'm saying something."
"Lets just get the kids and get out of here. Please Brian don't give him that satisfaction. All he want is to get a rise out of us." Kassi said getting out of the car.
