One Way or Another

Nicole’s POV

I shifted impatiently in the chair outside the doctor’s office. Maybe the fact that I haven’t went to the bathroom before leaving “home” was one of the main causes. But I was still nervous about how Gerard was doing in there. I hope he just explained himself, honestly. I’m sure if he tells him how he’s doing nowadays, the doctor won’t have any problem in letting him stop coming to therapy and drop the oh-so unnecessary pills.

I lifted my head as soon as the sound of a door being open was heard. He walked out, much calmer then he had been when going in. He walked up to me, pulling me up, and placing his arms around my shoulders, as we started walking towards the front door.

“So, what did he say?”

He obviously didn’t wanna talk much about it, otherwise he would already have started blurting out everything that happened.

“That he agrees, on the fact that I’m better….and on my theory of you being my medicine. He said I don’t need any stupid pills anymore, but to make sure to hold onto you”

It made my heart melt, hearing him say what I was for him again. And hearing that other people thought that too, was just overwhelming.

“I was thinking that maybe we could make good use of the rest of the day and go to get my first ultrasound test. I’m almost on my 4 weeks.”

He casually slid his arm from my shoulders down to my waist, pulling me toward him even closer and holding onto me tighter, before whispering into my ear.

“Then, let’s go”

************************

I found myself in a way too similar situation as the one earlier today. Only this time, I was the one waiting for my name to be called.

“You’re nervous, aren’t you?”

I felt his hand on my moving thight, keeping it still now.

“Uh, yeah. A little.”

He chuckled and just then I heard my name being call from a near by room. I got up, taking his hand in mine and leading the way to the doctor’s office.

“Good afternoon. I’m Dr. Kilty. How are you doing?”

“I’m doing good.”

“A little nervous though.” Gerard added as I follow the doctor’s gestured instructions and took a seat on the reclined paper covered bed.

I leaned back and saw as the doctor went to get some stuff to a near by storage cupboard. I watched her grab a tube with a blue airy liquid and realized it was some sort of gel when she placed it on my uncovered stomach. A really cold sort of gel.

“Ahh” I squealed at the cold contact of the unknown substance.

“Yes, it’s cold. I know, sorry. I just have to spread some evenly on the part where the baby should be located.” she explained as she spread the cold gooey gel a little bit further around.

My hand was holding on tightly to Gerard‘s. Not that I was scared or anything. I just loved the skin on skin contact with him. His hands were so warm and securing.

“Ok. Well, if we look at the screen over there we should be able to see a little form. Other know as you’re future baby.”

All three of us glanced at the little black and blue tv screen as an image appeared on it.

“That’s…..”

“My baby?” I finished for him. I guess he was easly impressed with this kind of stuff. I can’t even imagine when I give birth.

“Our” he corrected, giving me a sweet smile and a tight hand squeeze.

“Yes, it is. You see, it’s obviously too early to be able to determine the sex. But, in some months, you’ll have to come back and we’ll see how it’s progressed.” the doctor started putting back the tube of blue gel and grabbed a towel, cleaning the one spread over my lower abdomen.

I was still in complete and total awe of what I’ve seen in the little screen to even realized I was clean and with my shirt pulled down.

“Ready to go?” Gerard’s voice was the one to snap me back to reality.

I sighted disappointed at the already turned off screen as I scanned the room, realizing the doctored had already left.

“Yeah.”

Placing his arm once more around my waist, we walked down the hall, me pressed tightly to his side.
