Chapter 6-part 1

Scotty and Lilly were both pretty sure the test was positive, but they wanted to make an appointment with a doctor-just to make absolutely

sure. Their appointment wasn't until 2:30, but they got there about 10 minutes early anyway. They checked in, sat down, and then waited for them to

call her name. She didn't know if it was because she just wanted to find out if the test was right or not, but she was extremely nervous-and Scotty

could tell.

"Relax Lil, everything is going to be fine." he said, rubbing her back. I'll be there the whole time-I promise." He wrapped an arm around her shoulder,

pulled her close to him, and kissed the top of her head.

Just when she thought she couldn't wait any longer, a nurse came out."Lilly Valens?" She stood up.

"Come with me please."

She turned back to look at Scotty, and then turned back to look at the nurse. "Can my husband come in with me?" she asked.

"Of course he can."

"Thank you" she replied. Scotty stood up and took her hand, and they followed the nurse down a long hall. They walked to one of the

rooms.

"Why don't you have a seat? Doctor Johnson will be with you shortly."

"Okay, thanks."Scotty said. The nurse nodded politely before walking out the door.

"Well, not too much longer now. Are you excited?" she asked.

"Can't wait" he replied. "I really can't wait." They leaned in for a quick kiss. Just as they were parting, they heard a knock

at the door and the doctor walked in.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth Johnson. You must be Scott and Lillian Valens. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too." they both replied.

"So, what brings you here today? asked.

"Well, I hadn't been feeling right the last couple days. My stomach's been really queasy, and I've been nauseous a lot, too.

I bought a pregnancy test, and it turned out to be positive. I just wanted to come in here today to see if it actually is."

"All right, there are a couple little tests we need to run, and after wards we should know the results in about half an an hour.

Just let me go get some things that I need, and then we can get started." the Doctor said, before walking out the door.

About 10 minutes later, she walked back in with everything she would need. She turned to Scotty-"I'm assuming that you

want to stay in here for all of this?"

"Absolutely. When we got married, I promised her that whatever happened, I would always be there." he said, leaning

down and kissing her.

"Okay then, let's get started."

30 minutes later...

Scotty and Lilly sat in the room, anxiously waiting for to come back with the test results. Finally, after what seemed

like hours, the door opened and she walked back in.

"Well, I have the results, and..."

"Aaaand?" they both asked, with anxious looks on their faces.

"the test was right. Congratulations-you're pregnant!" she exclaimed.

Upon hearing those words, they both burst into tears of utter joy and happiness. They each placed a hand on her belly, where

their son or daughter was now growing, and then leaned in so their foreheads were touching.

"I love you, Lil" Scotty said, just loud enough for her to hear.

"I love you too, Scotty" she replied, as they both leaned in for a brief kiss. After parting, spoke up.

"Would you like to find out how far along you are, and about when you're due?"

They both looked at each other, with him squeezing her hand to signify his approval. "Yes, we really would."

"Okay then. If you could just lay back, we'll go ahead and get started." As she was putting the gel on Lilly's stomach,

Scotty moved to the head of the exam bed, sitting down and taking her hand in both of his and kissing it.

After the gel was on, she turned on the ultrasound machine and started moving the wand around. After a few seconds,

a grainy picture popped up on the screen.

"There, you see that spot right there-the one that almost looks like a peanut?" They both nodded. "That's your baby."

"Oh my gosh, Scotty. I can't believe it. That's our baby." Lilly said, starting to choke up a little.

"I know, Lil. I know. It's incredible." Scotty replied, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. She then looked up at him, and

saw that he too was now starting to choke up a little.

"Honey, are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's just...it's just all really starting to sink in now-seeing our child for the first time, realizing that I'm going to be a

father. It's just so...amazing."

She continued looking at him, and they both smiled before leaning in for another kiss. Looking back up at the doctor, she

continued:

"Well, based on the development of the baby so far, I'd say that you are about 3 months along. That would put the date of

conception somewhere around October 26th of last year, and the due date on or around July 26th of this year."

At the mention of the conception date, Lilly's ears perked up. She looked over at Scotty. "Honey, that's our anniversary.

Isn't it amazing that that's when it happened?"

"It is-it really is." he answered, smiling and squeezing her hand before they turned their attention back to the

doctor.

"I could print you off a picture of this ultrasound-if you'd like."

"We'd love that." Scotty replied. She printed it off and handed it to him. She then turned back to Lilly.

"Now, I would like for you to come back in for a check-up every month until the baby's born, just to see how he or she is

doing. Also, I'm going to prescribe you some prenatal vitamins. She wrote out the prescription and handed it to her.

"Just take it to any pharmacy, and they'll fill it for you." she said, standing up to leave.

"Okay, we'll be sure and do that. Thank you, doctor." Lilly said.

"I guess I'll see you two next month,. then. Take care."

"We will-you, too. Goodbye." they both said, as the doctor walked out of the room.

A couple minutes later, after having changed back into her regular clothes, Lilly took Scotty's hand and they walked out

of the room, and over to the front desk to schedule another appointment. After wards, they walked out of the hospital and

back out to their car.

They didn't get in right away, though. Scotty wrapped his arm around Lilly's waist, she rested her head on his shoulder,

and together they looked in awe at this picture of a baby-their baby. They then looked up at each other.

"I love you so much" he said.

"Not as much as I love you" she replied.

After wards, they both leaned in for another kiss. However, this one was different from all the others-this was not just a

kiss as husband and wife, but now as parents-to-be as well.
