Reggies Girl

Chapter 17

Monday morning came around all to slowly. Especially with Fae ignoring anyone who wasn't Jen or Logan. Fae had made it clear to her father that she was not going to talk to him for a while.

Fae had also completely ignored all of her friends. She hadn't answered their phone calls or text messages. When they showed up at the house Jen was quick to shoo them away.

Jen and Fae had grown closer over the weekend. She understood why Fae wouldn't abort her child and she was beyond supportive. She had sat down with Fae and they talked through all of Faes options, Fae had decided she would give the baby up. Jen would be the one taking Fae to her first ultrasound today, along with Logan of course. Fae was nervous and Jen could tell.

"What kind of ultrasound will it be? Transvaginal of transabdominal? Because I don't think I'll be able to do transvaginal." Fae admits and she sits in the waiting room with her mom. The fear all over her face at the thought.

"I'm sure it will be abdominal, sweetie. You're at least 10 weeks along now." Jen reassures Fae. Jim, whom had insisted on coming along makes a noise and looks away.

"If you have a problem James, you can leave." Fae snaps at her father. He quickly looks to her. Before he can snap back Jen glares at him daring him to make a sound.

"Moore" the doctor calls the family name from the door. Fae is quick to stand and follow her back to the room. Her mother, father and little brother not far behind. One in the room Jim takes a seat and pulls Logan onto his lap. He doesn't say a word.

"Are you ready to see that baby of yours?" The doctor asks as she starts setting things up.

Fae smiles, "yeah, I think I am." She admits to her doctor. Jen smiles down at Fae and squeezes her hand.

"Alright, you're about 10 weeks correct?" The doctor looks to Fae who only nods. "Ok, so we're going to start with an abdominal ultrasound and go from there if that's alright?"

"Yes please," Fae is quick to put in.

The doctor laughs. "Alright I'm going to need you to lift your shirt up for me." Once Faes shirt is up the doctor continues. "This is going to be cold." She puts some gel on Faes stomach the starts rubbing the wand around on Faes belly. It doesn't take long for a picture to show up on the screen and a quiet heartbeat to fill the room.

"That there," the doctor points to the baby. "That is your baby. His heartbeat is strong, let me turn it up for you." The doctor turns up the machine.

By now Fae has tears streaming down her face and a big smile on her lips. It only took one look and the sound of that heartbeat for her to fall in love. This baby was not conceived in love but Fae would be damned if anyone took her baby away. She was going to raise this baby and love it with her all.

"He's so tiny," she whispers as her tears continue to stream down her face. Why did she ever want to give this baby away?

"You baby is about the size of a kumquat at the moment. It's a small little thing but within the next few weeks it will double on size." The doctor admits. "Would you like pictures?" She asks.

Fae is quick to nod. "Yes please!" She was excitedly.

The doctor laughs. "Alright, ill print you off a few. You can clean off your belly if you'd like." She tells Fae. "When I come back I would like to talk about vitamins and such, we want to keep you and your baby healthy." The doctor leaves them.

"When's the baby going to be here? I want to meet my nephew!" Logan says as he looks at Faes belly that is just barley showing, she just looks a little bloated.
