Chapter
10
1 week later...
Belle is now home and is feeling better. She
is getting her daily treatments for her cystic fibrosis and her
stitches are healing up nicely. She is almost back to her old self
again. Marlena is due to go to her doctor's appointment to check on
the baby. John is going to go with her so they decide to leave the
kids with Chelsea. They arrive at the hospital and go inside hand in
hand. They head towards Dr. Bader's office, and once there Marlena
goes to talk to the receptionist.
"Hi, I'm here to see Dr.
Bader."
"Yes, Dr. Evans. Please have a seat and Dr.
Bader will be with you shortly."
Marlena
smiles.
"Thanks."
Marlena sits down next to John as
he puts his arm around her.
"Nervous?"
Marlena
nods.
"Yes, I just want everything to go okay with this
pregnancy. I want a healthy baby."
"So do I Doc."
John
continues to have his arm around her as she lays her head on him and
smiles.
Meanwhile...
Sami
brings Will for his appointment for his checkup and as she is walking
by she glances in the door and sees her mom and John.
"I
wonder why Mom and John are here to see Dr. Bader. Maybe she is
pregnant again? I am going to go find out."
Sami opens the
door and leads Will in ahead of her as she walks over to her mom and
John.
"Mom, John, what are you two doing here?"
Marlena
looks up.
"Sami, hi. I am here for an amnio and a sonogram.
What are you and Will here for?"
"Will has his checkup
today."
Marlena nods. Sami gets a smirk on her face.
"So
you and John are having another baby. I am happy for you,
really."
Marlena gives Sami a surprised look.
"You
are?"
"Sure, you and John are happily married now, I
can't think of a better gift."
Marlena stands up and gets
tears in her eyes as she hugs her oldest daughter.
"Thanks,
Sami that is so sweet of you."
John chimes in.
"Yeah,
thanks Samantha. I am finally glad to be accepted by you and your
brother."
"John, you're family now and besides you are
my baby sister's father and the father of my soon to be sibling. I
couldn't think of a better father for them than you."
John
stands up and hugs his stepdaughter.
"You have grown up so
much, Samantha. I love you, pumpkin girl."
Dr. Bader comes
out of her office. Marlena sees her.
"Well it looks like it's
time. I love you, Sami and you too Will. See you later."
"Good
luck in there. I love you both."
They wave at her as they go
into Dr. Bader's office as she stands there holding Will waving back.
