What Happens In A Small Town

Chapter Thirty-Six

K E L S E Y

B lets me out at the hospital entrance "I'll be right in okay?"

I roll my eyes playfully "I know B, you're just parking the truck."

He gives me a look "hey now don't get sassy with me Kels" I shoot a grin at him "you love it and you know it and I love you..."

I see him bite back a smile  "yeah I know and I love you too" I lean over a kiss him for a second before getting out of the truck.

I close the truck door and walk into the hospital looking over my shoulder watching B pull towards the parking lot not pay attention to what's in front of me "well Kels... It's been forever since we've talked"

I turn around "oh my god Amber, it has been forever girl"

She smiles "so what's going on? What are you doing here?"

I smile at her "I have an appointment here in about 20 minutes to see how things are going with the little one"

She smiles even wider "oh my god" she pulls me into a hug "congratulations Kels!!! How far along are you?"

"I don't know yet I've only known about him... I have a feeling that it's a boy for a week so that's what this appointment is for to see how things are going"

She smiles "that's great so is Brantley with you?"

I let out a chuckle "yep he's parking the truck he's barely let me out of his sight since we found out unless I'm with someone... it's cute how protective he's been but a little overbearing sometimes but it makes him feel better to know that we are alright so I won't complain"

"That sounds like him honestly... We do need to catch up soon but I gotta go get to work"

I smile at her "yeah we do let me know when you're free and we will make plans"

She nods "gotcha I'll see you later"

I walk away from her and towards the desk to see where the maternity ward is which is where we will be going and then wait for B.

I smile at the receptionist "Hi... can you tell me which floor is the maternity ward? I have an appointment there in 15 minutes"

She smiles back "of course sweetheart, it's on the fourth floor, once you get there just tell them your name at the desk and they will get everything set up for your appointment."

"Thank you"

A few minutes later B comes in and I walk over to him grabbing his arm "come on we go to the fourth floor" he wraps his arm around my shoulders pulling me into his side as we walk towards the elevator. 

Once we get to the floor I walk up to the desk and smile at the lady "Hi... my name is Kelsey Reed, I have an appointment with Dr. Hanna"

She smiles "okay Ms. Reed, I just need you to sign these forms and return them to me and Dr. Hanna will be with you shortly" I take the clipboard from her and we take a seat so I can fill out the paperwork I need to. 

B keeps tapping his fingers on his knees... it's a nervous tick of his. I take the papers back to the lady at the desk and take my seat back beside B and I grab his hand to stop him from tapping it. "don't be so nervous B... I'm the one having the baby here" 

The nurse calls my name before he gets the chance to answer me I get up with B following behind me "Ms. Reed?"

I smile at her "yeah that's me" she smiles "follow me" we follow her into one of the checkup rooms "I'm just gonna get your vitals and then Dr. Hanna will be in to start the check up on the little one" 

She takes my temperature and blood pressure and things like that. "that is all I need from you now Dr. Hanna will be in shortly" she walks out of the room. 

I am sitting up on the bed thing and B is sitting in the chair beside me looking kinda pale and anxious, I bite my lip to bite back a chuckle I'm the pregnant one and he's more nervous about it than I am.  

A little while later the door opens and a woman walks in with a smile "Hello,  you must be Ms. Reed? I'm Dr. Hanna and I am going to be your OBGYN"

I smile at her "Kelsey is fine, no need for Ms. Reed"

She smiles "alright Kelsey let's see how things are going" she pulls a machine over to me "this is an ultrasound machine, we are gonna use it to see how far along you are and see how things are with the baby" 

She smiles noticing the nervousness, slightly from me but mostly from B "first-time parents huh?"

I nod "yeah, that obvious?"

She smiles "first-time parents there is always a bit of nervousness in the atmosphere. Now roll your shirt up to just below your bra line and I will get the machine up and running" 

I do as she asked and roll my shirt up as she gets the machine ready I hold my hand out to B, who takes is and I interlock our fingers. 

B stand up to get a better look at the little monitor "this is going to be a little cold" then she squirts the gel onto my stomach then she takes the wand and rubs it around until she finds the spot she needs and she smiles "there you are" she points to a spot on the screen "there is your baby" 

I smile looking at B "look at that, I have an actual little human growing inside of me and we made him"

He smiles at me "him?"

"I have a feeling" he leans over and kisses me on the head as Dr. Hanna smiles at us "so it appears you're about 10 weeks along and that little heartbeat is going strong, let me get you some print outs of the ultrasound and you are free to go once we've made a follow up appointment." 

She hands a towel to me so I can wipe the gel off and once it's off I let my shirt down, she hands me the printed out ultrasound "Now for the follow up how about you come back in 3 months from today? and if you need to see me before then just give me a call and we will work something out?" 

I smile at her "that works perfectly fine for me"

Yikes, it's been forever since I've worked on this story but I just hit a blehh streak and didn't want to write but I'm off of it now and inspired once again.
