Iain was pacing the ward outside "is she alright?" Asked Iain Jan nodded "she told me to tell you not to worry they will both be okay" she said Iain nodded "I know but oh I love them both so much" he cried Jan nodded "I know" she smiled sitting down with him. Duffy walked out to get Iain "Iain your being asked for" she smiled he stood up "she is okay we think the pain is predominately due to her and baby having a very rapid heart rate which is understandable but we do need to perform a type of pelvic ultrasound she's alright shes not in any pain anymore but um, these ultrasounds can be a little painful and I think shes going to want someone there" she said "what do you mean? Is it going to hurt her?" He asked "it might do but I promise Iain it will be a little bit nothing like the pain she's been in" she said he nodded and walked in she was sitting up well aware of everything. "Ruby" he said standing at the end of her bed "I don't bite" she smiled Iain walked over to her bedside and sat down on the bed "I love you" she said "Ruby I was so so scared something was really wrong with you" he said "there's not I'm sure I was just panicking" she smiled holding his hand "Duffy said You um have to have some special kind of ultrasound" he said she nodded "I'll be alright don't worry" she said "what do they do?" he asked "that's not for you to worry about" she smiled "can I have a cuddle?" She asked he nodded and sat on the bed as she moved over and he wrapped his arms around her and they cuddled down he placed his hand on her belly and she placed hers on top of his. "We're going to have a perfect little family" she smiled he kissed her lips "we are" he said just then Duffy walked in "we're not going to do a um an ultrasound we think it was definitely down the heart rate and now it's gone down and you not in pain we don't want to put you through that we do want to keep you in for 24 hours to monitor you though" she said Ruby smiled and so did Iain "thank you" she said "I also have some news" she said "Ruby how far along did you think you were?" She asked "12 weeks that's how many periods I've missed" she said "I think you've miscounted because the scan shows your heading more towards about 18" she said Ruby looked like she was about to have a heart attack "don't get your heart rate up again!" Said Duffy smiling "that's nearly half way" said Ruby Iain held her hand "I know give it 2 weeks and you can find out the gender" she said Ruby looked at Iain "don't worry, don't worry it's going to be alright" he said "shouldn't? Shouldn't I have a bump?" She Asked Duffy nodded "I would of thought you would have a bit of a bump but you are very tiny Rubes but your baby looked well when we had a quick look you might of just looked like you had put on a little bit of weight" she said Ruby nodded "oh god Iain we're going to have a baby in 22 weeks!" She said he nodded and smiled at her holding her face in his hands gently "listen to me, 6 weeks earlier or 6 weeks later that baby isn't going to be any different maybe he is more ready to meet us than we thought" he smiled "he?" She asked smiling he smiled and kissed her lips "definitely!" He smiled she smiled "in your dreams" she laughed "what do you want to bet on it?" She laughed "nights of crying" he said she held out her hand "your on" she said he laughed and shook it. Duffy smiled at them both.
