Dinner had went well for Mark and Elizabeth. The only thing mentioned about Elizabeth's baby, was that she had a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 2 pm that Mark had made for her. When he had told Elizabeth that he was going to take her, she had politely told him that was not necessary, but Mark was stubborn and he insisted upon going.
Later...
Elizabeth waited in the den for Mark to get home from working at the bike shop in town that he owned. She heard the front door open and a few seconds later, Mark's big frame appeared in the door way. "I'm filthy." Mark said, looking down at his clothes. "Let me shower and we will go." Elizabeth nodded and watched him disappear from the room. Elizabeth was nervous and a million questions were running through her head. What would the doctor say? Would everything be alright with the baby? Elizabeth's thoughts were cut short by the ringing of the phone. Elizabeth got up from the sofa she was sitting on and grabbed the receiver off of the hook.
"Callaway residence." Elizabeth said into the receiver. "Let me talk to Mark!" The voice screeched from the line. Elizabeth closed her eyes and sighed. It was Melanie. "He is in the shower. Can I take a message?" Elizabeth asked with forced politeness. "Sure." Melanie replied. "Tell him I enjoyed seeing him the other night and I can't wait to see him again." Elizabeth's heart sank. Mark was still seeing Melanie? "Sure, I will tell him." Elizabeth said calmly, as she hung up the receiver.
Mark had just tugged his black t-shirt on over his head, when he heard his cell phone ring. He picked it up off of the dresser and looked at the caller id. Mark cursed under his breath and let the call go to voice mail. He was not in the mood to deal with Melanie. She had been trying to reach him a lot lately. What in the hell could she want? Mark shrugged the thoughts of Melanie off and walked downstairs to meet Elizabeth.
Later...
A picture of Elizabeth's baby filled the ultrasound screen. She watched as the baby wiggled and kicked. She looked over at Mark, who seemed to be mesmerized by the image also. The appointment so far had went very well and the baby appeared to be doing fine. The ultrasound tech turned to smile at Elizabeth and asked, "Would you and Daddy like to know the sex of the baby?" Daddy? This lady thought her and Mark were together and that this baby was theirs. Elizabeth groaned inwardly and looked at Mark. He didn't seem effected by the lady's words.
Elizabeth turned back to the lady and smiled. "Yes." She replied. The ultrasound tech moved the wand over Elizabeth's abdomen. "Well." The lady said, "It's a boy." Elizabeth smiled at the image on the screen. A boy. She was having a precious, baby boy. Elizabeth looked over at Mark just in time to see a slight smile curve his lips.
Later...
Here is a card with your next appointment date and time on it. The receptionist said, as she handed the card to Elizabeth. "Thanks." Elizabeth replied, as she took the card and waited as Mark handed the lady his credit card to pay for the visit. The receptionist handed Mark a receipt and they turned and headed for the door.
Geoff came out of one of the examination rooms and headed to the front desk to give the receptionist the chart he had. He normally wasn't in this building, but they were short staffed lately and he was having to work between his office and this building to help cover extra shifts. Just as Geoff go to the front desk, he got a glimpse of a lady with curly, red brown hair walk out of the clinic door with a very big, red headed man. "It can't be." Geoff said to himself.
Geoff handed the receptionist behind the desk the chart he had in his hands and said, "Judy, who was that patient?" Judy scanned the papers before her and said, "Elizabeth Andrews." "Why?" "Is everything okay doctor?" "Yes, of course." Geoff said turning to leave. "I just thought I knew her, but I don't."
Later...
The doctor's office had been quiet for some time now. Everyone had gone home but Geoff. He had stayed late, pretending to be busy with some paperwork, waiting for Judy to leave, so he could get a better look at Elizabeth's paperwork. Geoff went to the front desk and sat down in Judy's chair. He flipped through the stack of files on her desk until he came across Elizabeth's. He opened it. It had to be his Elizabeth, he thought. The name matched and the due date was right with what hers should be. Geoff pulled out the copy of the credit card receipt and looked at the name on the bottom.
Who the hell was Mark Calaway? Why was he paying for Elizabeth's appointments? Geoff checked the address on the chart. So that is where she went. Geoff thought to himself with a sick grin. He had went to pay the whore a visit a few months ago and she was no where to be found. The apartment was empty and all her things were gone.
Geoff grinned sickly to himself as he thought about what he would do to Elizabeth now that he had found her. That bitch would learn that she was his to fuck whenever he wanted. He would teach her to run from him. Besides, if she didn't cooperate he had the matter of her unborn baby to dangle over her head!
