Three months later
Trillian was leaning over the toilet puking again. Pushing back her hair that clung down to her face, she spit before throwing again. Her entire body stretching and forcing herself, she strained before wiping the back of her mouth.
Joey then shuffled into the doorway, still in just boxers from sleeping. His hair sticking up in odd directions he raised an eyebrow before going in.
"You okay?"
Trillian slightly nodded before throwing up again. Her entire throat made a gagging sound as she leaned over. Joey right away kneeled down beside her, taking her hand in his hands and pulling it back. Trillian finally coughed up the last and flushed. Taking a second she took a deep breath before looking over her shoulder at him.
"God I feel awful…'
Joey smiled before leaning over and kissing her forehead.
"I think you look beautiful."
Trillian rolled her eyes before taking his hand and standing up.
"Yeah right…"
She mumbled before walking back to bed. It was six in the morning and in a couple of hours they had their first ultrasound appointment. The last three months had gone by smoothly. Both decided to wait and break the news to all their friends until everything looked fine. Trillian had been to the doctors twice all ready and they told her she was almost thirteen weeks along and everything seemed fine. All ready the morning sickness as kicking in, and Joey seemed so cute about the entire thing. He was always there after work, making sure she was off her feet and felt better.
Getting back into bed, she pulled back the covers before Joey climbed in beside her. Settling in, the smooth feeling of the bed felt great against her skin. Sighing, she shut her eyes and smiled as Joey's arms went around her.
The two slept for another three hours before their alarm clock went off.
It was Saturday and Joey had the day off from work. The two of them took his truck into the city and waited in the doctor's office. Finally they were called and Trillian got dressed in a hospital gown and laid back on the table. Joey meanwhile seemed nervous as he looked around, cracking jokes in that winy little voice of his. Smiling, she laid back before the doctor came in. Shaking Joey's hand he looked over Trillian's charts before opening up her gown and revealing her stomach. Putting cold gel on her skin, he began moving a paddle across it before the tiny little screen lit up. The image fuzzy and blue. Joey right away leaned over as Trillian looked.
'There's your baby…looks fine, nice and big."
Joey looked amazed.
"Oh my God…"
Trillian laughed at him before fixing her eyes on the screen. The image was hard to make out, but she saw her baby inside her. Smiling she sighed before the doctor looked over at Joey and began talking about him. Joey wanted to know the sex right away, but the doctor explained that might take another month or so. The doctor flipped a switch and the baby's steady heartbeat filled the room.
Just then Trillian saw something.
It flashed across the screen.
Blinking, she thought her eyes played tricks on her.
She saw it again.
It looked like a tentacle.
Trillian's eyes widened before she screamed, right away Joey and the doctor looked over as Trillian slid back from the table, looking terrified.
"LOOK!"
Both Joey and the doctor looked on the screen, all they saw was the fetus and nothing more.
"What is it?"
Trillian kept looking at the screen.
"I thought I saw something…"
The doctor faintly smiled before shutting the screen off.
"The image isn't that good, but of just been a blink on the screen…trust me your baby is healthy."
"NO!"
Trillian grabbed the paddle and moved it around on her stomach, Joey looked as though as she crazy before the doctor turned the screen back on. There the baby was, nothing else. Joey eyed the doctor from across the room before he cleared his throat.
"I'll print you up a photo of this…now Trillian, I need you to drink lots of fluids and stay off your feet, these first couple of months are the hardest."
Trillian set the paddle down before looking up at Joey who looked uncertain.
On the ride home, Joey eyed her as she stared at the printed out photo of their baby.
"You okay?"
Trillian looked over.
"Yeah why?"
"You almost freaked out in there…did you see something?"
"I thought I did…"
Joey then smiled before slipping his arm around her and bringing her in close.
"Don't worry, everything is going to be all right."
Trillian looked down at her stomach before sighing.
"I sure hope so."
Joey smiled before driving forward, finally Trillian looked up.
"Joey?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember the island?"
"Barely, why you ask?"
"Didn't you ever wonder how we washed up on main land, or how the Navy could never find the place."
"The ocean is a big place, we should know that best of all."
"Yeah but the black out, all three of us even Finnegan, what do you think happened?"
"I think we were lucky that's all."
Trillian looked up at her husband's dark 5'oclock shadowed face and sighed. She knew she was putting too much thought into this. But she felt so worried. Looking down at their baby's photo she stared at it for what seemed like forever…waiting to see something.
When they got back, Trillian fell right back into bed. Joey laid down beside her, still in his jeans. Right away his tanned hand went over and covered hers. Slowly he took it and kissed her fingers before looking at her wedding ring.
"We're going to make this work Trillian, I know it."
Smiling she rested her head on his chest, praying he was right.
