--Mitch--

"Thanks again for coming with me."

"You're welcome. That's what friends are for." I smiled at Scott when a nurse came through the door.

"Mitch McCormick." She called. Scott and I followed her back to the room.

"So Mitch. You think you're pregnant?"

"I do, yes."

"Is this the father?" She asked, motioning towards Scott.

"No no. He's a friend here for moral support."

"That's good. The possible father doesn't know?"

"I don't wanna tell him something that isn't true." She looked down at my hands fumbling in my lap. I was moving my ring around on my finger.

"You're married?"

"Yes I am. For six years."

"Would this be your first?"

"No, I have a five year old son."

"Well. You may go home and tell him he's not an only child anymore." She laughed and lifted up my shirt to squirt a cold substance on my belly. She put a wand on the bottom of my stomach and started moving it around, "I don't see, oh wait." She pointed to the screen and moved the wand over a little, "Look Mitch. There's your second kid."

A tear rolled down my cheek as she turned on the heart beat. That little heart beat was coming from inside me. She wiped off my stomach and handed me a picture of my baby.

I held the ultrasound photo close to my chest on the ride home.
