When Alexis was discharged and the papers signed, Sandra sat with her daughter,. For a while, each was silent, lost in their own thoughts. Sandra was thinking about what her baby would look like, and Alexis was working out how to persuade her parents to get her a dog.
Gerry came back, interrupting their thoughts. Sandra was handed a bacon sarnie and coffee, Alexis a breakfast bar (she hated bacon) and a carton of juice. Sandra felt extremely nervous. She realized that her hand was shaking. Alexis noticed this. 'Mummy, are you ok?' she asked, repeating the question she had been asked earlier. 'Yes, I am. We're not going home just yet' Seeing her daughter's worried expression, she said 'We're going to see your little brother or sister today' Alexis's face lit up 'Yay!'
After they had finished their breakfast, Sandra took Gerry's hand (truth be told, he was just as scared as she was) they walked down to the scanning ward.
'Sandra, I'm happy to say you are perfectly able to deliver your baby in 5 months time' The doctor said, smiling at Sandra. 'Now for the fun part' she continued, rubbing gel onto Sandra's tummy. 'Look Alexis, there's your brother other sister' said Gerry, pointing at the screen. Sandra smiled. She looked at the black and white image on the computer screen. She felt quite moved. 10 months ago, she thought she had it all. Boy was she wrong!
A/N
I'm sorry if I got the medical terms wrong! I have no experience of this sort of thing! Updates will probably be slow for now as I'm going back to school soon and stuff.
