5 DAYS LATER
The days went by slowly, all Kate could think about was the baby, she was distracted from everything. She couldn’t wait to see it. To see its little body.
At last it was finally the day for her to see her child, so far she hadn’t noticed anything different, she wasn’t peeing more often nor was she vomiting at all.
“You ready?” Rick asked eagerly as Kate came out of the bed room,
“Yup, now let’s go and meet our baby!” Kate said grabbing her keys.
AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE.
“Katherine Castle.” The receptionist called, the amount of times they had been there she recognised them.
She led them down a different corridor and showed them into a room.
“A Nurse will be with you any minute.” She said leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
Kate hopped up on the black half sitting half lying chair, and Rick took a seat on the plastic chair beside her.
Rick grabbed her hand, “I can’t wait to meet out little baby.” He said planting a kiss on her hand,
“I know me too babe.” She said.
“Good morning, Mr and Mrs Castle!” A nurse said walking in, she was wearing blue scrubs and had her hair in a high ponytail.
“Good morning.” Kate muttered,
“I am Nurse Helen Pullman, and I shall be preforming your ultrasounds.”
“I’m Kate and this is my husband Rick.” Kate said introducing them.
“Now just roll up you top, this is going to be cold.” She warned as she placed the see through gel on Kate’s stomach,
She jumped a little not expecting it to be that cold.
The nurse got the little rectangular device and began rubbing the gel around Kate’s stomach,
On the TV all you could see was a load of grey, the nurse moved the thing around searching for the little baby,
“There we go!” She said pointing at the screen, “That’s its little hand and there’s its head.” She pointed out,
Rick gave Kate’s hand a squeeze and smiled at her,
“That’s our baby!” He said beaming,
“Now I’ll just go and print out some pictures.” The nurse said leaving the room.
“I can’t believe we’re having a baby.” Kate said her eyes filling up with tears,
“Are those sad tears or happy tears?” Rick asked,
“Both.” Kate said trying to hold them in.
“Why sad?” Rick asked rubbing his wife’s arm,
“It’s just my mom would have loved to be part of this, but she’s not and I miss her so much.” Kate said sadly, the tears starting to fall,
“She is here Kate, she’s in here.” Rick said placing a hand to her heart,
Although it was sort of cheesy it made her feel better.
Kate wiped her tears away and smiled at him,
“Thank you for everything.” Kate said,
“Always.” Rick replied.
