"I can fit you in around 2pm, is that good for you?" she comes back on the phone
"Yes, 2pm is perfect, I'll see you then" I say, hanging up the phone, then jumping in the shower to start getting ready for my appointment in a little less than two hours
Once I finish my shower, get dressed, and do my hair and makeup, I end up running to the bathroom one more time and cthrow up, emptying the contents of my stomach. After I finish I get up wiping my mouth with a rag and then brush my teeth to get the foul taste of vomit out of my mouth. I then proceed to walk downstairs, grab my coat putting it on, taking my keys from their spot on the counter then walk outside, getting in my car, starting it then drive to the hospital
~*~
It takes me about twenty minutes to drive to the hospital. I pull in the parking lot, park my car, get out locking my car doors, then walk into the hospital. Once inside, I walk up to the receptionist desk to check in
"Can I help you?" the receptionist asks looking at me from behind her desk
"I'm Penelope Garcia. I called here earlier to see about getting an appointment with Dr. Gellar, and the receptionist told me to come be here for 2pm" I tell her
"Ahh yes, Ms. Garcia, I remember speaking with you earlier. Head on into the back, Dr. Gellar's expecting you" she smiles at me
"Thank you" I say to her heading into the back to meet with Dr. Gellar
When I get in the back I see Dr. Gellar standing at the nurses desk looking over some files
"Dr. Gellar?" I question
She turns and sees me and smiles "Come on in Penelope and we'll get started"
I follow her into an exam room
"So what brings you by today Penelope?" she asks sitting across from me on a chair a clipboard and a pen in her hands ready to take notes
"Well, when I woke up this morning I had a real bad stomach, and then I started throwing up periodically, I last threw up about five minutes before I came here" I start telling Dr. Gellar the symptoms I've been experiencing
She nods, writing something down on her clip board "When was the last time you were sexually active?"
I blush at this question "I uh.. umm I.."
"I need an answer Penelope. Nothing you say will leave this room, I promise" she urges me
"About a couple weeks ago, with my boyfriend" I tell her blushing insanely
Again she nods "Who's your boyfriend?"
"SSA Derek Morgan of the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit" I tell her, smiling from ear to ear at the thought of Derek
"Okay, well, I'm just going to take a blood sample and then when we get the results back we should have a clearer picture of what's going on" she says walking out to get the things to take a sample of my blood
I sit in the exam room and wait silently for her to return
When she returns she comes over to me and rubs rubbing alcohol on my arm then inserts a needle with a vile for my blood attached to it in my arm, and she also takes another two viles.
"Okay Penelope, that's the last of the blood work, so I'll carry this to the lab to get tested and you can go home and wait for a call from me to come back and get the results" she smiles at me putting a bandaid over the spot where she inserted the needle
"Thank you" I nod, getting up, walking out of the exam room and the hospital, quickly checking my phone and seeing I have three new texts from Derek
-New Text Message-

-New Text Message-
To: Penelope
From: Derek
Penelope.. Come on.. Answer me.. I need to hear from you.. I'm starting to get worried..
I send him off a quick text telling him where I've been and that I'll text him later, get in my car and drive back home
I go home and wait for two hours before I get a call from the hospital
"Hello?" I answer
"Penelope? Hi, this is Dr. Gellar, I'm calling to let you know that I have your test results, would you be able to come back to the hospital so we can discuss them?" Dr. Gellar tells me
"I'm leaving right now" I say, grabbing my keys, running out the door, jumping in my car and driving back to the hospital
~*~
When I get back to the hospital and walk inside, Dr. Gellar is already in the waiting room waiting for me
'Oh god' I think to myself "This can't be good"
"Come on back Penelope" she smiles
I follow her back "So know what's wrong with me?"
"I'm pretty confident I do. I just need you to hop up on the bed so I can do an ultrasound to confirm my suspicions okay?" she tells me
I hop of on the bed so she can do the ultrasound
About 15 mins pass before a loud heartbeat like sound can be heard coming from the monitor
"What's that?" I ask looking at Dr. Gellar confused
"That's your baby's heart beat, congratulations Penelope, you're pregnant!" She says
