Stable {Book 2 of Living Alone}

First Time

~^~*~^~@~^~*~^~

"Dean I am so scared, what if they figure out what we are?" I ask grabbing his hand tightly as we walk down to the town clinic. We left Addie with Carry while we go get an ultrasound of the baby, we dont want Addie to know that she is having a sibling just in case something goes wrong in my pregnancy and I miscarry. We walk down to the clinic and just as we walk in the warm and comfortable place we see Immira walking out smiling with her husband. I try to avoid her but obviously that wont work she comes right up to me and I grab Deans arm tightly.

"Sloan! I knew you would be coming here soon!" She smiles brightly grabbing my arms then feeling my stomach and I flinch away, I dont want her to do anything to our baby. "Im not doing anything to your child." She reassures me and her husband comes right behind her smiling.

"Hello I am Ebenezer and you are?" He asks Dean holding his hand out to him, Dean lets go of my hand and shakes his firmly.

"I'm Dean." He says back Ebenezer looks over to me and smiles warmly. "This is my wife Sloan." He holds his hand out to me and I shake it hesitantly forcing a fake smile to come to my lips. 

"Well darling we best be going,you know what the doctor said?" He says playfully and she smiles sheepishly.

"Alright I will see you later Sloan!" She smiles leaving Dean and I alone for once. Both of us walk up the the reception desk and the woman smiles too widely with way too much dramatic make up on her face.

"How may I help yall this evening?" She chomps on her gum only making my head pound with how annoying and disgusting that is. 

"I have an appoitment with Doctor Tiki." I mutter and she miles probably pulling up his calander.

"What is your name?" She chomps louder, I reach over the desk, stick my fingers in her mouth and rip out the gum. 

"See how rude that was of me to do that? Well its ten times worse when the person who was chewing it was smacking and spreading germs. My name is Sloan." I grab a sticky note and a pen, stick the gum on the paper and write. Reminder to keep the spit in my own mouth. I hand her back the note and she looks so embarrased, I walk away and sit in a chair all the way away from her. Dean comes over to me giving me a look before sitting down next to me grabbing my hand.

"Was that nessisary?" 

"Yes it was, I need to wash my hands this place is so unsanitary." 

"Mrs. Sloan?" A man calls, Dean and I quickly stand up and swiftly walk over to him, he is smiling a true smile and I feel so welcome. "Come this way." Both of us walk inside the hallway to see carts and wheelchairs lining the hall. There are many rooms in here and I feel so nervous I have never been to one of these places before. I squeeze Deans hand tightly and we enter a room to our left, a small semi dark room, a table with paper, the ultrasound cart, and a chair to the side. "Here we are, can we just take your height and weight before we begin?" He asks me, I nod to him and motions for me to step onto the self adjusting scale. I step onto it and Dean helps himself to the chair sitting watching me intently. The doctor stops moving the little weight things and scribbles somethings down onto the chart. "One hundred and fifteen pounds, I hope by the next time I see you, you are up to one thirty, thats a healthy weight for your baby to be growing at." He points to a tape measurer to the side of the scale and I slip off my shoes and stand tall against it. He uses his pen tipping it off and I step away while he writes things down. "Your five feet and six inches tall." I nod feeling very uncomfortable. "Given that you are slightly showing through I would say your around four months but I saw you had a child come with you so this is your second correct?" I shake my head and sliding onto the table.

"This is my third." 

"Ah my mistake, you must be around five then!" I shake my head.

"There is no way, what month is this?"

"November, anyways we will just do the ultrasound and see." I lay down and un button my pants and slide up my shirt, he sits on his chair and wakes up the dinosaur machine. I look over to Dean and his elbows are propped on his knees and his knees are bouncing up and down with his hands to his mouth. I bring my hand over to him and he scoots upclose to me taking my hand nervously. He places the warm gel on my stomach then places the device on my stomach and swishes it around, already you can hear the beautiful strong heart beat. He moves it lower down my stomach and thats when you see it, the small alien, it has two arms and two legs, tiny nubs for fingers, its so small!

"Is that? Is that my baby?" He nods moving it slightly so we can get a better view of it to the side, you can see it moving but I cant feel it, in just a few weeks.

"Now since this is your third you will be able to recognize the movments and distinct them as flutters or as your stomach grumbling, you will be able to feel your baby move by the end of next week hopefully if not dont worry about it, you could be too buisy to pay attention." 

"So how far am I? Is my baby okay?" I ask him, he turns to me with a bright smile on his face.

"You are four months, you concived at the begining of August." That was around Addies first day of school, whoa, thats weird I can remember what we did that day. "Your baby is perfectly healthy, may I scedual an appointment with you for next month? Maybe by then we will be able to see your babys gender?" He asks me, a smile fills my face along with tears, I so wish I was able to see Ave in me, I would have loved to see her alive, but I must stop thinking of things that cant come true and just keep my head in the presant.

"Sure thing, I cant wait."
