The Path to Love

Chapter 20

⚠️ (There's a little pet further down about it)

I sat in my car patiently waiting for Sam. The prenatal appointment was today, and I was unsure how I was feeling about it. I was kind of excited, kind of nervous, kind of scared, I was basically all over the place.

Finally, Sam came into the car. "Hey! Are you excited?" She asked me, sitting down.

"Buckle up," I replied. "Kind of feeling a bit all over the place. How about you?"

"About the same. We should make a time to tell our parents, Hunt. They need to know."

"Are our parents ever in town the same time?" I asked her.

"Well, spring break is just around the corner. They should be back to celebrate Easter with us. Right?"

"So, let me get this straight. You want to tell our parents that we had sex on the day Jesus was supposedly revived?"

"Well, our parents only go to church on Christmas. So, they're not overly religious. When do you want to tell them?"

"When you're giving birth," I stated.

"Okay, that's not realistic." Sam stated, laughing.

"I've been doing research on Google about this stuff." I started. "When did you have your last period before we slept together?"

"A week before, I think."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure I know my period cycle, Hunt."

"Wow, and this is your first appointment?"

"Yes." She replied, confused. "Why are you asking me this?"

"Well, it's just because you're supposed to go like two months after your last period. You're like two and a half months pregnant now. So, you should have gone like three weeks ago."

"Well, we're going now. That's all that matters."

I pulled into the place. "You texted me the address, is this the right building?"

"Looks like it. Come on, let's go."

She got out and we walked into the building together. We rode the elevator to the third floor, and I went and sat down while she went and signed in. A few minutes later she came and sat with me. "Are you okay?" She leaned in and whispered to me. "You look nervous."

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"Nervous. I haven't done this before."

"Well, I'd imagine you haven't."

"Funny, you're so funny."

"Samantha Dawson," I looked up and a lady with brown hair was calling out to Sam.

"Let's go," she whispered and pulled me up.

I walked with her to the back of the clinic where we were led to a room. "The doctor will be with you shortly."

"Thanks," I replied.

We didn't have to wait long before the doctor came in. "Hello, my name is Dr. Arthur. I will be your doctor for your prenatal visits. How are you doing Samantha?"

"Um, I'm doing well. How are you?"

"I'm doing fine, thanks."

"Is this the father?" The doctor asked, referring to me.

"Yes," I replied. "Hunter Thomas."

"Pleasure to meet you."

"Since this is your first visit, I'm going to ask you many questions. Blood will be taken, scans completed and recommendations I may have."
