Chapter twelve:

two weeks later.

Marlena and john are at the hospital for doctor appointment.

Marlena and john both are siting in the waiting room for dr. Bader to call them.

Mr and mrs black the doctor is ready to see you.

The nurse said as she gets up from behind the desk and shows Marlena and John to the examining room.

Here's a gown for you to change into,

the nurse said to marlena and she leaves the room.

Marlena disappears behind the curtain,

do you need any help, Doc?, john asked her.

I know the kind of help you're offering, john, and the answer is no.

Marlena told him as she getting un-dressed

After Marlena done changing into her hospital gown and she cane out from

behind the screen.

doc, honey, you can even make a hospital gown look so damngood.

John told marlena as he helps her onto the exam table and she gives him a kiss and that when dr. bader enters the room.

Well, it's nice to see that Marlena's pregnancy hasn't stopped the romance in your marriage, dr. Bader said as John and Marlena both laugh.

okay, what do you both said what we check out the newest additions to your family?,

dr. bader asked both of them.

Marlena nods as she lifts up her gown

so that she can show off her very round stomach.

dr. bader squeezes out the jelly onto marlena's stomach.

Wow, that's cold, i'd almost forgotten how cold that stuff is, she said as John takes her hand.

dr. bader begins to run the device over Marlena's stomach as Marlena's and John's eyes are glued to the screen.

dr. bader points to the screen and she says to both to them, there's your baby.

tears are forming in both Marlena's and John's eyes.

the baby readings show a good strong heartbeat and it still seems to be gaining weight and growing that this good sign,

dr. bader said to both of them.

and then she hands Marlena a towel to wipe her stomach off.

marlena, how are you finding sleeping?, Dr. Bader asked.

Difficult, marlena answered, while john shot her a glance saying that she wasn't being completely honest, so he continued for her.

Some nights, damn near impossible, marlena can't lie on her back or lying on her side and it doesn't matter which one and she also tosses or turns constantly.
