Ch. 20 Dr's appt and first cravings
Kitty sat nervously in the waiting room at her first pregnacy appointment. She looked around the room there was about 6 other women there in different stages of their pregnacy. Some looked like they could drop their baby right there any second. Others did not even look pregnat like her must have been early in their pregnacies, and a few were showing but not big. One woman even had a baby who was a few weeks old and Kitty guessed she was there for her 6 week check up. Bobby was getting them checked in and came back with a clipboard with a bunch of papers on it.
He said, "We have to fill these out before you see the dr. Did you bring our insurance information?"
Kitty said, "yeah I got it here in my purse. You're going in there with me aren't you."
Bobby took her hand in his and said, "of course I am thats my baby too."
Kitty filled out the paperwork just standard medical history questions and about insurnace. She found it a little bit overwhelming because in her adult life she had never seen another doctor besides Jean so she had never had to fill out paperwork like this. Jean had said though she had handled all female issues with her that she felt best if Kitty went to a doctor spefically specialized in pregnacy. Kitty moved her hand over and grabbed Bobby's hand as he sat beside her. Bobby squeezed her hand knowing that she was nervious. He said, "you're going to be alrite sweetheart."
The nurse finally called, "Katherine Drake."
Kitty and Bobby followed the nurse back to a room where she took down Kitty's weight. She than took them in a room and gave Kitty a gown to change in and a cup to give them a urine sample before leaving. Kitty changed and went to the bathroom for the sample before sitting down on the bed in the room. Bobby sat beside her in a chair and held her hand as they waited for the doctor to come in. The doctor came in a few minutes later and smiled at them. She said, "Katherine Drake."
Kitty nodded and said, "yes but call me Kitty please. This is my husband Bobby."
The doctor sat down on a stool and moved up toward her and said, "okay Kitty and Bobby. I'm Dr. Iskander. You're regular medical doctor was the one that confirmed your pregnacy right."
Kitty noded and said, "yeah Dr. Grey. We teach at the Xavier Institute for the Gifted. She is our resident doctor. I didn't even suspect that I was pregnat and she was doing routine physical on all of the staff members."
Dr. Iskander said, "Did she tell you how far along she thought you were?"
Kitty said, "yeah about 9 weeks than so about 11 now."
Dr. Iskander said, "we'll do an ultrasound to determine how far along you are. We'll also see if we can tell if you are only having one baby or twins."
Bobby looked at the doctor with big eyes and said, "twins?"
Kitty laughed and said, "don't give my husband a heart attack please."
Dr. Iskander laughed and said, "you never know but lets just see before you have a heart attack. So have you experienced morning sickness?"
Kitty said, "Yeah it didn't seem to bad until a few days before Christmas and than it hit like the devil. I throw up just about every morning for a few hours and feel nausious the rest the day."
Dr Iskander nodded and said, "that sounds about normal try eating saltines that might help with the neasuea. How about sore nipples?"
Kitty said, "not really but they have been more sensitive."
The Doctor asked a few more questions and made a few recommendations on what she should be eating and how much rest she should get. She than turned on the ultrasound machine and squeezed some gel onto Kitty's stomach. Kitty squeezed Bobby's hand as a picture came up on the screen the doctor made a few adjustments and they could finally see what looked more like a little bean on the screen but it was their baby.
Kitty smiled at her husband as he watched the screen with fascination. She said, "there's our baby Bobby."
Dr. Iskander said, "Everything looks good here and Bobby don't worry I only see one baby. I think Dr. Grey was right you do look about 11 weeks along so that will put you due about June 4th."
Kitty laughed when she said that. She said, "now that would be interesting thats our anniversary."
Dr Iskander smiled and said, "well now you might have an anniversary baby. The baby looks healthy and good. Okay you can get dressed and I'll see you in 3 weeks take care of yourself and if you have any questions you can call okay."
Bobby said, "I have a question. When will we find out the sex of the baby?"
Dr. Iskander said, "about 18- 20 weeks is the earliest we can tell you that though of course you don't know for sure til the baby comes out. Even with today's technology we can make mistakes on that. I won't forget the little boy a few years ago that every ultrasound I swear I saw a girl and shock when he came out it was a boy. You should have seen the look on his daddy's face. He looked at his son and than asked his wife. Honey why does our daughter have balls. Don't worry though Im hardly ever wrong on the ultrasound. See yall in 3 weeks and take care of yourself Kitty."
Kitty nodded as the doctor left leaving them with pictures of the baby that she had printed out. Bobby helped her get back in her clothes and they headed out and made another appointment. Kitty looked at the picture of their little one as they drove back through town towards the school.
She said, "you know it finally seems to be sinking in we are going to be parents."
Bobby reached over and took her hand as he drove and said, "I know its scary isn't it."
Kitty nodded and said, "Are we going to serve as X-men after the baby gets here?"
Bobby said, "I plan on staying on the team but if you want to step down thats up to you Kitty."
Kitty nodded and thought about Jean who continued to serve as a back up team member now that she had Rachel. Kitty said, "Bobby I want chinese food lets go to the buffet in town for lunch."
Bobby smiled over at his wife and said, "okay baby now or do you need something from the mansion."
Kitty said, "now I'm hungry and i just had a craving for chinese."
Bobby turned so they could head toward the Chinese buffet in the small town of Salem were the institute was located. He looked over at the picture that Kitty held in her hand of the ultrasound and smiled thinking about their baby on the way. They ate a quick lunch and headed back to the mansion it was the day before New Year's eve and everyone was excited about getting everything ready for tommorrow. Kitty headed upstairs to change into a more comfortable outfit and Bobby headed to the common room were Ronnie often hung out with the other high schoolers. He wanted to show his little brother the pictures they got. He and Ronnie were gettting to know each other and Ronnie was even excited about becoming an uncle. His parents had came up and took them out to eat a few days after Christmas his dad was out of the hospital and doing better everyday though he didn't have his strength back yet.
Ronnie was inside the common room watching tv with Adam and Allison. Allison and Adam were leaving later that day to go home to her parents' house for the rest of the school break. They had orginally planned on leaving the day after Christmas, but changed their plans so that they could help Ronnie get more settled. Bobby was thankful for that Ronnie had soon made friends with some the students that was there for Christmas break.
Bobby said, "Ronnie can I talk to you for a few minutes."
Ronnie said, "sure excuse me guys."
Adam said, "We need to go finish packing anyway our plane leaves at 7. Its 2 now. Your still taking us to the airport right Bobby."
Bobby said, "yeah Adam I am we'll leave at 5 okay."
Adam nodded and him and Allison headed out of the room. Bobby watched them with a smile remebering what it was like to be young and in love like that. He had actually caught the two of them a few nights ago in the garage having sex. He had not said anything just turned around and headed back out the door. He never said anything about it to either one of them. He knew that some the older teachers probably would have gotten onto them, but Bobby still remebered what it was like to be 18 and wanting to have sex with Kitty. He and Kitty had found themselves having sex in a few places in the mansion even though by the time they were doing it Bobby had a room to himself and the garage had been one their favorites. Truth be told almost every couple on the X-men and more than a few of the students had probably at some point had sex in there. Bobby knew that Adam had a ring for Allison and felt that when they returned from their trip that there probably was going to be an announcement for them to make. Bobby and Kitty had gone with Adam to pick out the ring a few days before.
Bobby sat down beside his brother and said, "well Uncle Ronnie what you think of your niece or nephew."
Ronnie looked at the picture that Bobby handed him and said, "well it looks more like a bean than a baby right now."
Bobby laughed and said, "that what I thought when I first saw it as well. Its hard to believe I'm going to be a dad."
Ronnie smiled and said, "well you probably make a good one I can't believe I'm goning to be an uncle."
Bobby nodded and said, "so how you settling in? Do you like it so far?"
Ronnie nodded and said, "everybody has been nice to me guess I'll know for sure when the semester starts and everyone else gets back. You haven't told the students yet have you."
Bobby shook his head and said, "we found out rigth before they left for Christmas break we're going to tell them when they get back. The staff knows."
Kitty walked in and sat down on Bobby's lap as she saw that Ronnie was holding the picture of their ultrasound.
A/n: Okay thats the end of that chapter my chapters are probably going to be shorter now due to my hectic work schedule but hopefully I can update more often. Pls review.
