Love Hate and revenge

The Check Up

Hugh helped me out of the bath and carried me to the bedroom,

"Wow Alex your getting heavy"

"Honestly have I really put on weight?"

Hugh seen how mortified I looked and started to laugh,

"It's not funny do you think I am heavy?"

"Don't be silly I was joking!"

"That wasn't cool, you do realise that I'm going to get big and fat soon!"

"No Alex you are beautiful and carrying our child there is a difference plus even if you did put on weight you are my angel and I love you regardless!"

"Wow you climbed out of that hole quick"

"Darling I mean every word."

"I believe you let's go to the doctors"

"What will you wear on your feet?"

"Oh yes I'll just have to wear a sock or something and my trainer on the other,"

"Ok darling I'll carry you!"

"Are you sure, a mean if I'm too heavy"

"You are so cute, I think I'll manage my beautiful princess"

We arrived at the clinic early Dr Green was waiting for us she knew about what happened already so I didn't have to re-live it over again.

Dr Green was lovely to me so warm and very gentle I took a liking straight away,

"Hello Alex how are you?"

"Well fine actually considering."

"Yes of course, so you missed your scan?"

"Yes and I'm desperate to know if the baby is ok!"

"Oh yes of course you must be but first I will check your ankle and then I will send you down to miss Green your midwife."

"Isn't your name Green?"

I was getting confused now I thought I was seeing Dr Green I'm sure of it,

"Yes it is, this is a family base surgery my sister is the midwife Vanessa green."

"Oh right."

Dr Green examined my ankle and told me it was a sprain and should be right as rain in a couple of days, she wrapped it in a bandage and gave me crutches to help me walk they were a nightmare,
I'm clumsy to start with this was going to make me worse!

"Ok Alex if you and Mr Hendrix walk down the corridor the first door on the left is your midwifed room she should be waiting for you"

"Thank you so much!"

"Bye now and your very welcome."

The surgery wasn't very big but it was apparently a high profile surgery and Hugh says the best around.

We walked along the corridor well I say walk it was more of a hop for me I must have looked ridiculous once we got in the room there was a tall woman with red hair I thought I recognised her but I couldn't put my finger on it, she was beautiful with bright green eyes, she was tall and lean and a very confident woman.

"Hello Alex why don't you pop onto the bed, it's been too long Hugh how are you?"

She said kissing Hugh's cheeks, I looked at Hugh and raised my eyebrows he never took his eyes off me,

"Hello Vanessa it's a pleasure seeing you again how is the charity doing?"
"Oh it's really hit off we have raised 3.2 million!"

"Wow that's great."

"Darling Vanessa is raising money for a premature and respite baby centre which has doctors 24-7 but where parents can stay all night if they want to, it will also have sensory rooms for disabled children to play so that parents can have a break but not be too far away."

"Wow that sounds great!"

"Thank you Alex it's my dream, but enough about that let's see your little one"

"Ok thanks"

Vanessa pulled over a machine with a monitor attached wires were connected to a device with a rounded edge, she squeezed some warm gel onto my stomach and started moving the device on top of my belly.

"Is everything ok?"

I looked at Hugh who was standing, staring at the screen then I heard it, it was a fast thumping noise!

"There you go,there's your little one!"

"Is it ok?"

"Everything looks fine."

I was so happy Vanessa showed us where the head was and then the legs it was amazing to know this beautiful baby was inside me I mean it didn't look like a baby as such since I was only 9 weeks but it didn't matter I fell in love with it anyways and I could tell Hugh had too.

We left the surgery in high spirits, Vanessa said I would have another scan at 12 weeks as it was too early to do the normal tests I didn't mind it meant I would see my baby again in a couple of weeks,

"I think we should have a dinner party and tell people the news"

"Really do you not want to tell your parents first?"

"Well ok we could go this weekend."

"Ok darling as long as you rest, what are we going to say about your foot?"

"I'll tell her I fell, I'll just miss out the part about running away from a maniac!"

"Ok baby, can we pop past the office so I can pick up some files, I've been a little behind and could do with finalising a few things."

"Sorry darling."

"No Alex it's not your fault baby, you come before everything ok."

"I love you so much Hugh."

"I love you too baby."
