Please don't hate me for this chapter! This is just another hurdle/journey that Seth and Leighla will have to deal with. Please let me know what you think..
It had been a couple of weeks and Seth and Leighla were going to her first doctors appointment and they were excited about hearing the baby's heartbeat for the first time. They were finally getting used to the idea of becoming parents and were going to tell their families about the baby after the doctors visit today. It had been strange because Leighla hadn't had any morning sickness the last couple of days and Seth told her to be grateful and not to worry about it.
Leighla signed in at the desk and went and sat down in a chair next to Seth who was watching the TV that was in the waiting room. Seth looked over her and smiled took her hand and held intertwined their fingers together. Leighla laid her head down on his shoulder and waited for her name to be called by the nurse as she looked over at a couple of other women in the waiting room that you could tell were pregnant. A very pregnant woman who looked to be about Leighla's age smiled at her
"Is this your first time?" she asked Leighla
"Yes, do I look scared?" Leighla returned the smile
"No, you just looked a little shell shocked, I think we all looked like that on our first appointment" the lady replied with a laugh.
"Is this your first pregnancy?" Leighla asked as Seth looked at the lady that his fiancé was having a conversation with.
"No I have a 2 year old daughter" she replied.
"Wow they will be close in age then" Seth said with a smile.
"Me and my husband didn't want them too far apart in age" She replied
"So is this one a girl also?" Leighla asked
"Yes she is I'm glad but my husband wanted a son" the lady laughed.
"I think all me secretly do" Leighla replied with a small laugh
"I don't care as long as its healthy" Seth replied
"That's what they all say" Leighla said as she winked at Seth.
"Leighla Schultz" the nurse called out
"That's us nice to meet you" Leighla said as they stood up and Seth put his hand on the small of her back and they walked towards the door that the nurse was holding open.
"Good luck" the lady replied
Leighla and Seth were taken to an exam room where the nurse said she was going to draw some blood and gave Leighla a cup and told her she would need a urine sample. She said that the doctor would come in and do a pelvic exam and then they would do a sonogram and they could take a picture home of the baby. Leighla had given the urine sample and the blood had been drawn they were just waiting on the doctor to come in and do the exam.
"Are you nervous?" Seth asked her as he sat across from her in a chair
"No, I have these done on a yearly basis" Leighla replied as she sat on the exam table.
"Well this is my first time" Seth said with his famous smirk.
Dr. Sims came in "Hello Leighla, I'm proud to tell you that you're indeed pregnant so this must be the father"
"Yes, this is my fiancé Seth Rollins" Leighla replied with a smile.
"Nice to meet you" Seth said with a big smile himself.
"Let's get this exam over with and we can listen to your baby's heartbeat" Dr. Sims replied. Leigla put her legs up in the stirrups and Dr. Sims began the exam and Seth winced a couple of times when he saw Leighla's face scrunch up and she had her fists balled up.
"Now lets listen to this heartbeat" Dr. Sims said as she put the gel on Leighla's tummy then placed the Doppler on her tummy and started to move it around and she had a look of concern on her face and both Leighla and Seth saw it.
"Is everything ok?" Leighla asked and looked over at Seth with a worried look on her face. Seth got up from the chair and walked around and took Leighla's hand and held it.
"I'm not sure if its anything to be worried about I'm going to send you over to the ultrasound and let's see if we can get a better look" Dr. Sims replied.
Leighla look up at Seth with tears in her eyes and he leaned down and kissed her temple "It's going to be ok baby"
Seth and Leighla walked hand in hand down to the sonogram room and the tech smiled and asked Leighla too take off her pants and lay down on the table and she began to set up the equipment. Leighla was trying to calm herself down but the tears were running down her cheeks and Seth walked over bent down and kissed her softly on the lips
"No matter what sweetheart, we are going to get through this and if something is wrong we will try again I love you" Seth whispered.
The tech took the gel and squirted some on Leighla took a deep breath and waited to see what was on the screen and hopefully to hear their baby's heartbeat. Seth saw something on the screen that looked like a peanut and thought that couldn't be my child. The tech moved the wand around and Leighla asked her if everything was ok. "I'm having a hard time detecting your baby's heartbeat" she replied as she got up from the machine and went into another room. It was a couple of minutes when she returned with Dr. Sims and she showed her the image on the screen and Dr. Sims confirmed what the tech thought.
"Leighla, Seth I'm sorry to have to tell you this but it looks like your baby doesn't have a heartbeat, I'm sorry things like this happen from time to time its just nature's way of correcting a problem with the baby before it's too far along" Dr. Sims said.
"My baby is dead isn't it?" Leighla asked through the tears
"I'm sorry but yes, we will need to send you to the hospital so we can do what we call a D*C" Dr. Sims said.
"What is that?" Seth asked through tears of his own.
"It's a surgery that will help remove the baby it won't last long but it needs to be performed so Leighla can recover Sims replied.
"I will be with you baby and we are going to get through this I love you" Seth whispered to Leighla.
