Callie POV
Doctor- okay Callie, I'm just gonna put a little of this gel on your stomach and then we can take a look at your baby.
I was at the doctors office getting my first ultrasound. I was more nervous than I thought I would be, I wish Brandon could have come with me today.
Doctor- okay.. an there's the heartbeat.
I heard a little thumping sound.
Callie- that's the baby's heartbeat?
Doctor- yeah.
The second I heard the heart beating I was completely taken off guard. It was not what I expected at all. I wish Brandon was here to listen too I know he would have thought it was just as incredible as I did.
Callie- is it supposed to be that fast?
Doctor- yep, that's a normal heartbeat.
Callie- wow.. that's so cool.
Doctor- take a look over here at the monitor.
I looked at the screen and saw an unrecognizable figure.
Doctor- you can't see much yet but.. that's your baby.
Callie- so the baby's.. good right?
Doctor- yep, everything looks normal.. I would say you have a very healthy baby inside of you.
Brandon POV
I carefully read a sign on the bulletin board at work, It was an ad for a job. My manager rushed through the front door and accidentally bumped into me.
Manager- oh.. Brandon, I'm sorry.
Brandon- don't worry about it.
Manager- well I would hate to injure you, you've done a great job since you started working here.
Brandon- thanks, I've been trying.
Manager- well keep up the good work.
He started to walk away but I stopped him.
Brandon- um.. actually I saw your sign on the bulletin board.. is that job still available?
Manager- you already have a job.
Brandon- I know but I could really use another one.
Manager- you wanna work two jobs?
Brandon- I could just use some extra cash right now.. and the other job would be at night so there wouldn't be a conflict.
Manager- okay.. I'll see what I can do.
Callie POV
I was mixing a pot of soup on the stove when Brandon came in from work.
Callie- hey.
Brandon- hey.
He took his jacket off and came over to me. I stopped mixing and gave him a quick kiss.
Callie- welcome home.
Brandon- what are you making?
Callie- soup.. it was on sale at the grocery store so..
Brandon- its kind of cold in here.
Callie- yeah.. the heaters only working on and off. I called the landlord but he said they fix it till the end of the week.
Brandon- great.
Callie- sit down, I'll get you a bowl.
It felt weird saying that "sit down". there wasn't any place to really sit in the apartment besides the bed. We were lacking a kitchen table.
Brandon- you know I'm not really hungry, I think I'm just gonna get a shower and go to bed early.
Callie- oh wait, I wanna show you something.
I handed him a picture of the baby from my ultrasound appointment.
Brandon- that's the baby?
Callie- yeah.
Brandon- I can't believe it.. its amazing.
Callie- are you okay? you look really tired.
Brandon- yeah I'm fine.. its just been a long day. I love you.
Callie- I love you too.
Brandon- I'm gonna go get a shower now.
Brandon left the room. He looked more tired than usual, something seemed a little off. I tried not to worry to much and hoped all he needed was a good nights sleep. I touched my hands to my belly. I was over four months along now and showing.
Callie- hey baby.. I'm worried about your daddy.
