We walked into the room, my heart was racing. I just wanted everything to be perfect.
"If you lay on here" the doctor said, gesturing to the bed. I walked over and got in a comfortable position, led down. She covered my stomach in gel and looked at the monitor. Sal sat beside me holding my hand, looking hopeful into the monitor. She moved positions over my stomach. There was a moment of silence. She had a confused look on her face which made me feel uneasy.
"Is... is there a baby there??" I asked, with tears building up in my eyes. Silence filled the room... until the sound of the baby's heart beat began. I looked over to the monitor
"And there's your baby" she said with a smile pointing into the monitor. A smile grew on my face as Sals grip in my hand grew tighter.
"That's our baby" I said to Sal. As I turned over to him he had tears in his eyes, looking at the screen, listening to our baby's heart beat.
"That's our beautiful baby" he said as he kissed my hand. "Our beautiful baby..." he repeated.
"I'll just print it out for you both. But first... would you like to know your baby's gender?" She asked. I turned to Sal.
"Can we wait??" Sal asked me. I nodded at him.
"We will wait. It will be a surprise" I said to her.
"Good choice. I'll get your photo of your baby printed" she said as she left the room.
I looked at Sal. His eyes were fixated on the monitor.
"I can't believe that's our beautiful baby" Sal repeated.
"I know" I said admiring the screen. "I love you Sal and I know your gonna be the best father in the world" I said to him.
"Your going to be an amazing Mum" he told me.
A few minutes later the doctor came back in with the photo of our scan.
"There you go" she said passing it to me.
"Thank you so much" I said to her.
"Are you first time parents?" She asked. Me and Sal nodded. "In that case, if you need anything"
