Finn looked at me from across the room. They last time I saw him smile this big was the first time he layed eyes on Allen. He walked towards me and kiss me. It was amazing. It made me feel at home. Like the past few days of fighting and heartbreak was totally worth it for this moment. The OB asked me to lay down and she hit the power button on the sonogram machine and took out a bottle of gel. "It'll be a little cold at first," she said squeezing it onto my stomach. She started moving the carmera around until she spot the fetus. "There it is," she said pointing to a little dot on the screen. "That's our baby?" Finn asked softly. "Yes, sir. You look about five weeks along. You're not very far, at all." With one hand, Finn held my hand and he stroked my head with the other. I was beaming. I looked up at Finn to see if he was smiling too. He was crying. "Finn!" I cried, "what's wrong?" I asked. "I-I just, I don't know." He whipped the tears off his face. The OB aske me a few questions about my diet and health and stuff. We scheduled another appointment and then we left. Finn had taken a cab to the doctors office, so we drove home together. He put his over night bag in the trunk while I buckled Allen in his car seat. "Rachel," Finn stopped me, right before I was about to get in the car. "Yeah," I replied. "I'm sorry."
