Benedict Cumberbatch {Imagines}

Imagine #11 - Baby Scan

You had arrived at the hospital to have your baby scan. You and your husband Benedict were expecting a baby early next year and you were beyond excited. 

The two of you sat in the waiting room. You had arrived that little bit earlier just in case they were ready for you early. Yes, you were those types of people who were always on time. Benedict held you hand in his, whilst the other was placed on your stomach. Your baby bump was only just beginning to show. "How are you feeling?" He asked. 

"I'm okay. A little nauseous, I guess." He smiled, looking at you before looking down at your stomach. "It's so strange to think that this time next year, we'll be parents. We'll have a baby of our own. Our own little family." He kissed you as you heard the door open next to you. Both you and Benedict looked up. "(Y/n)? Benedict?" It was the Doctor that you had seen once before already. "Are you ready to come in?" She asked, smiling sweetly as the two of you stood up and followed her into the room. 

You lay down and pulled up your top, allowing the doctor to access your stomach. "It might be a little bit cold." She said as she placed the gel on your stomach. She was right it was but it didn't bother you, you were just desperate to see your baby. Benedict was sat beside you in the chair. He grabbed your hand and planted a kiss on it. "I love you." He said, clearly still not being able to believe that you were pregnant.

There was a flicker on the monitor beside you before the picture became clear and soon enough, the small blur of your baby appeared on the screen. Beside you, you heard Benedict gasp, making you smile. The doctor pointed at the screen, "Here's the head. Arms. Feet. Body." She smiled. "I'm very pleased to say that it is a very healthy baby indeed, so (Y/n), whatever it is that you are doing, keep it up." She smiled. "And..." She stopped for a second. "If we listen very carefully..." She began before silence filled the air, until a small thumping noise could be heard. "There is your baby's heartbeat." You felt Benedict kiss your hand once more as the doctor wiped the gel off of your stomach and announced that she was going to print off the sonogram of your baby for you and Benedict. When she left he room, Benedict gave a small cough. You looked at him to discover that he was crying. "Oh babe." You said, sitting up and pulling him closer to you, wiping away his tears. "I can't believe it." He said, smiling. "That's ours! We made that!" 

The doctor came back into the room. "Well, like I said, I'm very happy with the progress you and the baby are making. I have no concerns whatsoever. I shall see you back here in about three weeks." She handed you an appointment card. "That appointment is when I should be able to tell you whether you are having a boy or a girl, if that is what you want." She smiled. "Here are your sonograms and I shall see you both, well three of you, very soon." 

You bayed her goodbye, before heading to the car, where you both sat, admiring the pictures of your baby.
