So, as promised, here's chapter 12! I remember researching a bit before writing about all the ultra sound stuff to know how it goes exactly, especially in correlation to how far along you have ultra sounds! I also remember that at around this time in the writing process the characters began to like speak for themselves in my head, like I'd have a chapter idea and when I wrote it the dialogue and actions of everyone started to just happen, I didn't have much control over the Hosts, haha! You know there's a problem when the characters start having free will over your chapters! Enjoy, next chapter will be out Friday! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, if I did then there'd be an Ouran musical episode, I'd have control over the anime, manga, and my own fanfiction (lol, the Hosts dictate my life!), and the Hosts would have a sleep over at Haruhi's apartment! (I'd love to see a Host Club sleep over!)
Tamaki now came over in the mornings to eat breakfast with my father and I. Tamaki and dad got into small squabbles, but, for my sake, quickly got over them.
At that moment dad was holding a tape measure around my midsection and Tamaki was gazing at the numbers. We had begun a binder and every week we'd measure me, weigh me, and write down other symptoms as they appeared.
"Wow, you've grown a fourth an inch!" Tamaki said, fascinated. That was the most growth so far from one week to the next.
"And how far do you think you are into the pregnancy?" dad asked again as he scribbled stuff down on the binder's notebook paper.
"Somewhere around 2 months? We're going in for my first appointment tomorrow and then we'll know for sure." I replied, touching my tummy unconsciously.
"You have to make sure you don't touch your belly like that during school, ok? That'd be a dead give away, Hikaru barely saved you from that the other day!" Tamaki said, laying his hand over mine which caused my father to wince slightly.
"Yeah, sorry, I do it without thinking now." I blushed as I looked at our hands on the small bulge between my hips.
The next day Tamaki and I walked into the hospital, holding hands.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Suoh." Tamaki said to the nurse behind the counter.
I felt myself blush brightly. 'Mr. and Mrs. Suoh? I wish.'
"Dr. Izumi is waiting in his room, 4th on the right." she replied to Tamaki.
He nodded and we went to where the nurse had indicated.
When we walked in Dr. Izumi turned and smiled at us, "Hello! Long time no see, how are both of you?"
"Doing well enough," I said, smiling at him, it was good to see him, he somehow made me feel more at ease and relaxed, like an old friend.
We started by answering questions the doctor asked us both and after all that was over he instructed me to lay out on the table. I did as I was told and lifted my shirt up over my tummy, shivering in the cold air.
"I have a guess as to how far along you are, but we'll know for sure in a few minutes." Dr. Izumi said with a smile as he squirted a jelly-like substance on my lower stomach.
"Will we know the gender today?" Tamaki asked from where he stood beside me, holding my hand.
"No, that'll be when Haruhi's about 4 ½ or 5 months along. Today you'll get to see your baby and hear its heart beat." Dr. replied.
I squeezed Tamaki's hand in excitement as Izumi laid a small instrument with a cord attached against my tummy. Tamaki and I looked at the screen as it lit up.
"You should see it here in a moment." Dr. Izumi said just as we heard a fast thrumming heart beat and saw an image of a small baby on the screen.
"Tamaki, look, our baby!" I said in amazement. He didn't reply, but looked awestruck, staring at the screen.
"It's on the smaller side, but is perfectly healthy from what I see." the doctor said, smiling at the image.
A while later we were about ready to leave when Dr. Izumi handed us a print of the baby. "Here, and congratulations, you're 3 months pregnant." He said, smiling kindly.
"THREE MONTHS?" Tamaki and I yelled in unison and surprise.
"Y-Yes!" the doctor said, startled.
"I was a whole month off!" I gasped, a hand going to my stomach.
"Well, you should notice you'll begin to get noticably larger within the next few weeks." Dr. Izumi said with a smile. "Come back if you need anything or have any questions, I'd be happy to help." He said," Oh, and Haruhi?"
"Yes?" I turned to him, we'd begun walking out.
"You are taking prenatal vitamins, right?" Izumi questioned.
"Yes, I've been taking 2 a day since I found out." I'd told no one, but I'd been caring for myself since I knew I was expecting, I guess I'd always been subconsciously worried about the baby.
"Good." He said and we left, happily looking at the image of our child.
Well there it is! HINT, next chapter has a question that NEEDS to be asked! ;D Please please continue to review my chapters and spread this story around, your support means more than you could ever know! :) Have a great day, see you all on Friday!
