Love at Divergent High

Chapter 60: Next appointment

My bump is getting bigger by the day, it’s still small and possibly hard to tell that I’m pregnant if you didn’t already know, but it’s getting bigger. The morning sickness has stopped, too. I am twelve weeks pregnant and today is the day of our next appointment. I can’t wait. I get to see my baby again.

Tobias, Eve and I are sitting at the table by the window in the kitchen, eating toast. It’s mine and Tobias’ day off work and Eve has a stomach bug so she’s having the day off school. Everyone else is at work, or at school in Ashton’s case.

“Do we get to see baby today?” Eve asks excitedly.

“Yeah. You feeling okay, sweetie?” I reply.

“No, my belly hurts.” She says.

“Do you want some more medicine?” Tobias asks, stroking some hair back behind her ear.

She nods and Tobias stands, walking over to the medicine cupboard. He takes the medicine out and a teaspoon from the cutlery draw before walking back over to us. He gives Eve two teaspoons of the medicine before putting the spoon in the sink and the medicine back into the cupboard.

“Let’s go.” I say, standing up from my seat and taking Eve’s little hand in mine. We all walk out of the house, Tobias locking it behind us, and we get into the car.

…

“Hey Eve, how are you feeling?” Linda asks when she shuts the door to the same room we were in last time after we have entered.

“She has a stomach bug.” I tell Linda.

“Oh, well, I hope you feel better soon.” She says.

I get on the bed and Tobias sits on the chair next to it, pulling Eve onto his lap and taking my hand in his. I lift up my shirt whilst Linda is sorting out the machine.

When Linda is ready she squirts some gel onto my stomach and places the wand over it, moving it around my bump. Our baby appears on the screen, tears fill my eyes.

“I see you have started to show.” She says, smiling.

“Yeah, I started getting a bump like two weeks ago.” I tell her, also smiling.

“Is that the baby?” Eve asks, pointing at the screen.

“Yeah, that’s your little brother or sister.” Tobias says, tears start to form in his eyes as well.

“They look small, and weird.” Eve says.

“Well, it’s because they haven’t fully developed yet. But the bigger they get the more they look like a baby.” I tell her.

“Oh.” She says.

“Well, the baby looks fine, in fact it is perfectly healthy.” Linda says.

We finish the scan and Linda prints out some pictures. She tells me that the blood tests they ran last time were good and that nothing weird popped up. Then we leave the room and head back home.

…

It is three o’clock now and Tobias and I are sat in the living room, watching TV, his arms wrapped firmly around me. Eve is in bed, sleeping, she has been since we got home from the appointment.

“What are we going to name him or her?” Tobias asks me.

“I don’t know, what names do you like?” I ask him.

“Well, for a girl I like Grace, Lucy, Melissa, Shailene and Sophie.” He tells me.

“They’re cute.” I say.

“For a boy I like Luke, Max, Thomas and Theodore, but Theo for short.” He says.

“Nice. I like those too, I like James as well, for a boy, and Peyton for a girl.” I tell him.

“Oh, how about Peyton Grace Eaton for a girl, or Melissa Shailene Eaton, because I really like those names. For a boy we could name him Luke Theodore Eaton, or Thomas Luke Eaton.” He says.

“Yeah, I really like those names. Whatever names we don’t use this time, we’ll save them for next time.” I tell him.

“Next time?” He says, smiling.

“Yeah, next time.” I say, also smiling.

That is when Uriah and Ashton walk through the door.

“Hey guys, where’s Eve?” Uriah asks.

“In bed.” I tell him.

“Oh, how’s she feeling?” He asks as Ashton goes to the play room we made for the kids.

“Her stomach hurts but she hasn’t been throwing up as much.” Tobias says.

“Good. How was the appointment?” Uriah says, taking a seat on the armchair.

“Great, thanks.” I say, handing him an ultrasound picture.

“Aww, so cute.” He says, smiling.

We spend the next few hours talking and laughing, waiting for everyone else to come home.

Hey Ravens, sorry for the short chapter.

Hope you all had a great Christmas.

I will update again when I can.
