Natalie POV:
I had gotten released from the hospital a few days after finding out I was carrying Will's baby. I haven't told Owen or Zoe yet in fear I would miscarry the baby. Maggie told me I had a high chance of miscarriage since my body was weakened by the cancer.
However Will refuses to let me think about that. Instead he's been anxiously clearing a room out of our house for the baby. He's been going online and ordering clothes, toys, practically everything a baby may need.
I appreciate all he's doing, I really do. I just don't want him to get his hopes up. Because if this child dies it'll be all my fault. I would of killed Will's first biological child.

"Natalie, it's time for the ultrasound and our meeting with Dr. Hansen. You ready?" I hear Will call from the kitchen.
"Yeah, just lemme grab my bag." I yell back before putting the oxygen tank on the cart and grabbing my purse.
Today is our first meeting with Dr. Hansen since the surgery. It's also our first ultrasound. After finding out if the baby is healthy we have to discuss with Dr. Hansen what we're gonna do about the cancer.
I hurried over to Will and we walked together towards the car. When we finally reach med I sigh. I used to love this place. But now... it's become a place of bad news. I don't know if I'll ever be able to see it in another light.

"Well Natalie, it seems your child is completely healthy. You're about 12 weeks in, which means we should schedule your anatomy scan. But in the meantime I can let you go over to Dr. Hansen if you want." My OB/GYN says.
I nod my head as she wipes the gel off of my stomach which is finally starting to show. I grab my oxygen cart and follow Will to Dr. Hansen's office. When we get there I sit down and we wait a few minutes for Dr. Hansen to walk in.
"Hello Dr. Manning and Dr. Halstead! Congratulations on the new addition to the family!" She says excitedly as she walks into her office.
"Thank you, I realize this kind of affects our progress, just know it was kind of unexpected..."
"Hey, you don't need to apologize for this. It's great news, we just need to figure out whether we will continue chemo. Unfortunately since we did not know about this bundle of joy sooner there's already some risk of complications since we administered chemo at some point during the first trimester. Doing chemo after the first trimester doesn't pose the same risk, however it can still affect the baby. We just need to decide whether or not we're going to continue chemo while you're carrying the baby. I know this can be a hard decision, so please take your time." She says as she takes out my previous scans for us to evaluate.
"Will, I don't know if I can continue knowing that it could hurt the baby even more..." I say trying to hold back tears.
"Natalie I get that but what if the cancer spreads more? Are we just gonna sit back and let it destroy your body?"
"Will, it's already destroying my body. But what if I promise to do chemo if the cancer does indeed spread?"
"I think that's fair, this is your body so if you're okay with that then I am." Will says as he kisses the top of my head.
I slowly nod as I smile at Will. I know this is difficult for him, and it means the world to me that he let me choose this decision. This decision could kill me. I can't even imagine the pain Will must be going through.
