"Love, what are you saying-", he begins but stops talking when he realizes: "Oh. Fuck."

I grab his hand and guide him to a spot where no one can see us from the waiting room: "What do we do?"
"No idea... None. Wouldn't have expected to see Zoe here."
I sigh: "Didn't quite think about her coming to the same gynecologist. I love her but I don't want her to ask any questions."
"Will she?"
"Danny. Why would you be here with me other than me being pregnant. To watch my pap smear?"
He let's out a tiny laugh: "Want me to stay back?"
"No please l want you with me and experience everything together."
He thinks for a little: "You go in there and I'll hide in the bathroom and then just text me the room you'll be in, ok?"
I stroke his cheek: "Alright, I love you."
He kisses my hand quickly and turns around: "Hopefully I don't get any school lunch PTSD."

I turn to make my way to the reception and finally to the waiting room.
"Babes! What's up?", she says and pats the seat next to her. I give her a quick hug: "Not much. Didn't expect you here." She laughs: "Me neither. You here for a new prescription?"
"Yes." Of course not, dumb reply.
"Ah so just a quick appointment then. Oh, what I wanted to ask as well is, what about tonight? Girls night?"
"Oh um yeah about that. I'll text you later okay? Dan and I wanted to spend some time together."
"Awe okay. But he can come too. Would love to see him again!"
"I'll ask him but that sounds good, we can get-", I get cut off by my name being called.
"Looks like you've got to go but just text me later and we'll make out time!"
I give Zoe a quick nod and wave and text Dan the room number after I arrive and wait for the doctor to come in. Just a few minutes later, a gentle knock on the door follows: "Yes?", I ask.
Dan comes in and closes the door behind him. He walks up to me smiling and kisses me: "Look at us being sneaky."

Not long after and we are get out of the office and go down to the café right below it to grab some lunch and talk about the appointment. The only crucial information we found out is that I am indeed only a couple of weeks along and will only be just over three months at our wedding. Other than that we made an appointment for my 6 week scan, talked about my medical history and the doctor talked us through what's to expect.

"Babe?", I ask while we eat.
"Hmpf?", he responds with a stuffed mouth.
"Zoe asked me about tonight again but she wants you to come to. You want to?"
He chews and swallows: "I mean why not, I haven't seen her in a while. Do you want to walk around the shopping center here and go to a park now instead of date night?" I smile at him: "That sounds great, I'd love to."

The fact that he suggested something to do for us and still make some time for each other happen, makes me really happy. So, we finish our food and talk a bit more before finally heading out of the gynecologists building.

Right when we step outside someone approaches us: "Oh my gosh, Dan, Y/N! I'm a huge fan! What are you guys doing here?
