Chapter 3 there's a first time for everything including going to a hospital

Fang had the scan book and now there was no chickening out of it or calling to cancel it either. Mum said she drop the kids off at school and then met us at the hospital with plenty of time to spare, Iggy was staying home today, he reason behind it was 'this was our experience and didn't want to intrude' even thought we said it was fine if he came with us. I was nervous and there was only two and a half hours till we got to see our unborn child. Now I had to keep drinking water because the nurse told Fang over the phone I need a full bladder for the ultrasound, which I thought was kind of stupid, but I'm doing it anyway.

'Iggy would be alright with Ella at home' I kept saying in my head, we were on our way to meet mum at the hospital, hopefully she has checked us in and filled out the paper work for me, but I doubt it. Fang pulled up in the hospital car park. Now I was really scared I didn't get out of the car until Fang came around and opened my door.

"What names did you put it under?" I asked trying to put my never to rest.

"Max Ride like always," he replied.

Didn't help one little bit. I want to just curl up and make this all go away but that wasn't about to happen now was its? Fang took my hand and we walked inside.

It smelled like the school and I didn't like it one bit. We walked up to the front desk, one was on the phone and another was busying herself with files or meds I couldn't really see.

"Hi how can I help you," one of the nurses said. At this point mum had joined us at the desk. She could see how nervous I was about this, mum put her arm around me to try and help the never.

"Had an appointment for Max Ride for my first ultrasound." Said Fang, I was in no shape to talk to the nurse.

"Yep here we go, you'll need to fill out this for me and bring it back before the appointment, and answer as truthfully as you can we need to know about everything." She explained.

I took the paperwork and went to sit down. I started to read it, and fill it in at the same time. This was like something normal school had us fill out before we enrolled there. But these forms required more detail of the personal kind. It took like a few minutes to fill the whole thing out. I took it back up to the desk and I was called to go in for the scan.

The nurse had me laying on my back on a bed; Fang was on my left up near my head and mum on my right near my feet. There was just us in the room at the moment. I was worried about this, there were two reaction I was gunning for from the nurse: (a) "OMG you have wings" or (b) "you have a healthy baby" and no wings. Me personally was going for option one.

"Hi you must be Max, I'm Sammy and I'm doing your ultrasound today, "she said.

NO freaking dah , how stupid do you think I am of course you're doing the ultrasound I thought when she said that.

before I was told to do anything she turned on the machine and checked if it was working, while Sammy was doing that I really need to use the bathroom and had to since we got here it was very uncomfortable.

"Ok, Max lift your shirt, this is going to feel cool to your skin," she instructed.

I pulled my shirt up like she had asked, and the gel stuff she squeezed on to my belly was cool. I watched as Sammy took something from a cart next to the bed I was laying on and started to move it over my stomach.

"There you can see the head and there's the spine," she pointed to the screen.

I couldn't say anything; this was our baby growing inside me. I looked over at fang he was speechless to. Mum was crying about this.

"And there are the wings?" she questioned.

Well that not what I thought she would react that way. So our baby had wings that might be a good thing. I just wanted to know if it was health or not.

"It a healthy baby bit small for eight weeks along but health none the less. Do you want to hear the heart beat?" she asked.

We nodded. Sammy hit a button on the machine and we heard the sound of our baby's heart beating it was health and had wings that all I needed to know.

"Can we get a video or DVD made up of the ultra sound please?" Fang asked.

She nodded cleaning off the thing she scanned my belly with and she gave me tissues' to wipe the gel off my stomach. And I now know for sure how far I was along and I really didn't think I was two month pregnant already. Well it was a while ago we sleep together so it does make sense in away.

"Here you go," Sammy handed me the disc of the ultrasound.

I nodded my thanks and we left. I really needed to find a toilet otherwise I would wet my pants.

"I need a bathroom break before we leave." I said, "Fang you don't have to wait I'll go with mum I'm sure she wants to talk to me alone."

I found the bathroom and it fell really good to have an empty bladder after that scan. Walked out and found mum we walked out into the parking lot and over to the car.

"How was that, Max?" mum asked while we were coming down the main street.

"That was awesome, the baby's health, has wings, I'm eight weeks along and the flock finds out tonight." I replied.

We were almost home and I couldn't get the smile off my face after the ultrasound and the kids were still at school, and I bet Fang has told Iggy and Ella already and they probably come running up when I walk in the door.

We pulled up in the driveway, mum killed the engine. I grabbed the DVD of the ultrasound and got out of the car and went inside. I was right Ella and Iggy did come running up to me.

"Max how was it Fang wouldn't tell us anything about it," complained Ella

"I'll show you if you want?" I asked her. She nodded, I took them into the lounge room and put the DVD in and turned the TV on. It started up and Ella was trying to find where the baby was.

"Ell, there's its head, spine and the darken area around there is the baby's wings," I pointed to screen.

"So how far along are you?' asked Iggy.

"About eight weeks, and they said I should go to a doctor or something for a general check up," I replied.

"Mum are there any doctors around here that wont freak out when they find out I have wings?" I asked.

"I'll see what I can do about that honey, "said mum.
