My way, soon

Chapter 42- Pictures

"Jacob Thomas Kiszka! Don't even say that!" I said laughing just as hard as him, but the thought was truly terrifying. We got to the office and I scanned the parking lot for Sam's car, I didn't see it. We went inside and I started to fill out what felt like 50 pages of paperwork while Jake looked at his phone. I walked back over and gave the paperwork to the receptionist.

"Thank you ma'am, we will call you back in just a bit." I nodded and went back to my spot by Jake, on my way back to him I glanced out the window, still no sign of Sam.

"Did you make sure Sam got the address?" I asked settling back in my seat

"It says he read it, but no reply," I bit my lip as I nodded my head, trying not to cry. Jake grabbed my hand interlacing our fingers and kissing the back of my hand,

"Ms. Walters?" I heard the nurse call from the hallway, "We are ready for you." I took a deep breath, Jake stood up and pulled me up with him, giving me a smile

"Ready?" He said quietly,

"Ready." I said as we started towards the hallway, I looked back at the doorway one more time, still no Sam. We got into the room and the nurse gave me a paper gown to change into and took a urine sample for a test, I changed and got onto the table. I started picking at my nails, I was so nervous. I looked over to Jake who was messing with a model of dilation, I giggled

"Jake" I said, he jumped, not realizing I was watching him, causing him to knock the model onto the floor, a fake baby head rolling across the ground,

"Oh shit," He said as he chased after it, I burst into laughter watching him try to re-stabilize the model on the counter, he turned around also laughing

"You're a child," I giggled as he came over and stood beside me. Just as that happened the doctor walked in.

"Well, congratulations, you are in fact pregnant" She said as she sat down and turned on the ultrasound machine, I glanced up at Jake who was beaming. "Any idea how far along you are?"

"No, I was actually hoping you could tell me that," I said biting my lip,

"Of course, lets get started," she said scooting closer to me and starting the ultrasound. Jake stood beside me, holding my hand watching the screen intently. We both were silent, not entirely sure what we were looking at, "There is your little one," The doctor said pointing to the screen. I stared at the screen, and felt my eyes starting to form tears, I looked up to Jake who was smiling a toothy grin still admiring the screen, tears falling down his face.

"Thats the baby?" He asked pointing to the screen, his voice cracking, "It's so tiny," He finally looked down to me, "Oh my god, I love you so much." He said kissing me on the forehead,

"I love you too," I said softly, closing my eyes as he kissed my forehead, everything had suddenly gotten real. I jumped when I heard Jakes phone go off,

"I'll be right back," he said, taking off out of the room abruptly,

"So, how far along am I?" I asked

"I'd say about 8 weeks." I nodded and did the math in my head,

"How soon can I get a paternity test," I asked, the doctor looked up at me,

"Well, with todays technology we can order one now, I just need to get swabs of the father, or fathers mouths," she said not as condescendingly as I was expecting. Just as I said that the door open, and Jake walked in, dragging Sam behind him. I wiped my face from the tears and smiled

"You came, I didn't think you were going to," I said to Sam,

"I'm so sorry, I was at Danny's and I lost track of time, and then I needed to go home and change cause my shirt smelled like smoke and I didn't want to make you sick." He said apologetically "What did I miss?" I pointed up to the screen as the doctor took some final images, Jake was back at my side, still smiling ear to ear. Sam stared at the screen, "I'm sorry but I have no idea what I'm looking at," He shrugged laughing, me and Jake giggled,
