A normal family life (or is it?)

Chapter 7

The next morning, I'm in bed with Danny. I wake up and shuffle into his arms. He's still asleep so I lay watching him for about half an hour, until he wakes up.

"Morning princess" He laughed.

"Don't call me that, it's cheesy" I groaned.

"Alright then, morning sexy princess, is that better?" He grinned.

"No it's not" I answered.

"Listen T I was thinking.." Danny began to tell me.

"Oh God, don't do that!" I interrupted him.

"Oi!" He protested.

"No, sorry go on, you were thinking?" I questioned him.

"We take Skye with us and go the doctors? We need to find out how far along you are" He replied.

"Yeah OK" I agreed.

"Mum, Dad, get up! Come on, don't be lazy!" Skye announced as she burst in our room.

"Alright, alright. Skye can you get dressed and brush your teeth please?" Danny told her.

"OK" Skye answered as she ran out the room.

About an hour later, we were all ready and we were sat at the doctors to see how far along I am. We're sat waiting for our name to be called out.

"Mr and Mrs Simpson?" One of the doctors called out.

"Mrs Simpson?" I questioned Danny.

"Well, you will be soon so we might as well get used to using that name" Danny laughed.

"Oh is that right?" I told him.

"Yeah" He smiled.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The doctor asked us.

"I'm pregnant and we'd like to know how far along I am" I replied.

"OK well, if you'd like to lie down on the bed and lift your t-shirt up and I'll just set the ultrasound up" She told me.

I did as she told me whilst she was setting everything up. I looked across at Skye who just smiled.

"I'm just going to put this jelly on you OK?" The nurse asked me.

"Yeah that's fine" I smiled.

"Is it cold Mum?" Skye asked me.

"Yeah it's freezing!" I groaned.

"Is this not your first baby then?" The nurse questioned me.

"Yeah it is. Skye's not mine biologically. She's my boyfriend's but I've adopted her" I explained.

"Oh I see" She replied.

"Is that blob thing the baby?" Skye quizzed the doctor.

"Yeah it is, and it's a bit more than a blob, you're about 15 weeks so that's almost four months" The nurse smiled.

"What? Four months?" Danny grinned.

"That's amazing" I spoke.

"I don't suppose you can tell what sex it is?" Danny questioned.

"Not yet, no" The doctor answered.

"When can we find that out?" Danny asked.

"At your next scan in about five or six weeks" The doctor told us.

The doctor gave us some scan photos and we made our way home. Skye was in the living room watching T.V and me and Danny were sat on our bed talking.
