Chapter 7: First Apointment
I wake up to the sound of the alarm clock beeping. The time: 6 am. I groan and fall back into the bed. Eli wraps his arm around my waist tightly, but gently.
"I'm sorry for the rude awakening Blue Eyes." he mumbles into my neck causing shivers to run down my back.
"Can't we just go back to sleep?" I groan.
"You have that doctor's appointment at seven thirty."
"Why did we make it that early?" I mumble.
"Sorry Clare, it was the only time they had available. I wish we could go back to sleep too, but we need to eat and get ready."
"I'm pregnant…I need my sleep." I say with my eyes closed.
"Come on…get up." He kisses my shoulder and gets out of bed. I turn to watch as he changes out of his clothes.
"Sleepy." I close my eyes.
"Get up." Eli laughs.
"No…pick me up." I smile.
He smirks, but lifts me up bridal style and drops me on the floor by my dresser.
"I'll go make breakfast." he says.
"No…we're up early, let's go to the Dot. Just let me get dressed." I reply.
"Okay."
I grab my clothes I set aside for today and go into my bathroom. I take off my shirt and look at myself in the mirror. I put a hand on my stomach which has grown a small bit. I sigh. Someday soon I'm going to be huge. I put on my ripped jeans and my Pitter-Pattern tee. I brush my hair and put in a white flower headband. I brush my teeth and go back to Eli. I put on my white converse sneakers. When I finish I stand back up and smile. Eli takes his hand in mine and we walk down the stairs. We go into his hearse and he drives us to the Dot. When we get there the only person inside is Peter. The door's locked. I sigh, but knock on the door. Peter looks up, smiles, and comes to open the door.
"Peter Stone…I will love you forever if you give me food! Please!" I slump down onto the counter stool.
He eyes me, "What?"
"Don't ask." Eli smiles sitting down next to me.
"All right. What will it be?" Peter asks.
"Chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream. Oh, oh, and I large vanilla milkshake!" I announce.
"Are you feeling alright Clare?" Peter asks.
"Just hungry." I smile.
"For you?" Peter asks Eli.
"Just coffee." he smirks.
"Be right back." Peter walks to the stove. Eli turns to be and puts his arm around me.
A loud banging comes from the door of the Dot as Peter walks back out with my food. I turn around and see Alli standing there, bouncing and knocking on the door. I smile and go open the door.
"We aren't open yet!" Peter groans.
"Grow up Peter!" I smirk. Alli sits next to me at the counter.
"Al, why are you here?" I ask after I take a bite of my pancake.
She smiles, "Like I was going to miss my best friends first baby appointment!"
"Alli!"
"Best friends first…what?" Peter hands me my milkshake.
"Nothing." I groan.
"Did I hear baby appointment?" he repeats.
"No…you must need to get your ears checked."
"Clare!"
"Peter!" I mock.
"Is Saint-Clare pregnant?" he fake gasps.
I hide my head in my hands.
"What? You are?" he asks.
"Just drop it!" I exclaim.
"Fine." he walks away.
I finish my food and the three of us thank Peter, even if he didn't deserve it, and walk out to Morty.
"Do I have to go in that?" Alli whines.
"If you want to come with us, then yes, you do." I smirk as I get in. She groans, but hops into the hearse.
The drive to the obstetrician's office lasts around twenty minutes, and we make it there with ten minutes to spare. We wait in the lobby. Eli stares off in a daze. Alli looks through one of the baby magazines. I tap my foot impatiently.
A nurse walks over to us.
"Miss. Clare Edwards?" the three of us stand up.
"Are you all with her?"
Alli and Eli smile and nod. We follow the nurse to the back room.
"Doctor Michaels will be in shortly, but first I need to get a sample of blood to test." the nurse smiles. She rubs my sleeve with an alcohol prep pad then begins poking at my arm.
When she gets the blood sample she excuses herself. Dr. Michaels walks in moments later.
"I'm Dr. Adrianna Michaels, it says here that you're about two months pregnant. And you're seventeen? Well, times have changed." she smiles lightly.
"I'm Clare Edwards, this is my fiancée Eli and my best friend Alli." I shake the Doctor's hand.
"Well Clare, Eli, Alli…it's nice to meet you." she smiles. The nurse walks back in with the blood test results.
"Well Clare, you are indeed pregnant. When did you last get your period?" she asks.
"I was supposed to get it on June 13th, but I didn't. My last one was May 13th."
"Well, when did you have sex?"
"June 10th…I think." I say.
"Let's see…todays July 30th…Clare you are almost eight weeks. We'll need to go through what you should do to optimize your baby's health. But first we need t check your blood pressure."
I hold out my arm and she checks. "Perfect." she smiles.
"So, what do I need to do?" I ask.
"Well for starters you should be taking folic acid, along with other vitamins. You should eat regularly and eat a balanced diet. No caffeine, no alcohol, no smoking, no drugs. Watch what you eat because whatever mommy eats, baby eats. Have you been watching what you eat?"
I nod, "Oh, and I don't smoke or drink or anything like that."
"Good. You should exercise regularly. If you have any questions or anything call me."
"Thank you Doctor Michaels." I smile.
"See you in two weeks Clare." she waves.
We walk out of the office and decide to go back to the Dot.
"Hey Clare. Eli." Fitz greets up at the door. Alli says goodbye and that she'll call me later. Eli and I walk over to Fitz's table and sit down.
"Hey Mark." I smile.
Peter walks over. "Long time no see Clare."
"Two hours…you're right, so long!" I smile.
"So how did the appointment go?"
I groan, "Not as fast as you better!" I smile.
Peter takes the hint and walk away.
Mark's green eyes are locked on my blue ones.
Shit…
"What appointment Clare?" he asks.
