Carbon Copy-Ch 50
When Penelope was wheeled into a cubicle the doctor walked over and said, "alright Mrs. Morgan I need you to tell me what happened", Penelope then opened her mouth and started telling the doctor what happened from the time she got her first cramp. The doctor said, "do you know how far along you are"?, she shook her head and said, "no, I just found out I was pregnant yesterday".
The doctor looked over her shoulder and said, "I need an ultrasound machine brought in here", the nurse nodded her head and said, "yes mam as she walked out of the room. JJ gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "don't worry Garcie Derek will be here in a few minutes, Em called and said that he was on his way right now".
The doctor said, "have you experienced any spotting at all"?, she shook her head and said, "no mam", the doctor smiled and said, "alright just as soon as the machine gets here I am going to do an ultrasound but while we are waiting I am going to hook this fetal monitor up". Penelope took a deep breath and said, "where's Derek, where's Derek"?, JJ looked and saw then wheeling him closer and she pointed toward the curtain and said, he is right here sweetie".
The curtain pushed open and Derek was wheeled right in beside her, he gently squeezed her hand and said, "I'm here goddess, I'm here", JJ smiled and said, "I'm going to head out to where the team is but if you need me I will be right back". Derek smiled and said, "thanks Jayje for taking care of my baby girl".
JJ smiled and said, "anytime, after all that is my little neice or nephew in there", she winked at Penelope and said, "I love you Garcie", Penelope smiled and said, "I love you to sunshine". JJ grinned as she walked out of the room, Derek watched as the doctor started hooking something onto her stomach.
Derek said, "what is that doctor"?, she smiled and said, "that is a fetal monitor, it will show us the babies heartbeat", Derek squeezed his wifes hand as the doctor turned the monitor on. After a few seconds the room was filled with swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, Penelope said, "is the heartrate normal"?, she shook her head and said, "the babies heartrate is around 160 right now which is great".
Derek said, "we don't know how far along she is yet, she just found out she was pregnant yesterday", the doctor smiled and said, "we can find out how far along she is, that won't be a problem". The ultrasound machine was pushed into the room and the doctor said, "alright Penelope I am going to do an ultrasound on the baby", Penelope nodded her head in agreement.
Derek brought Penelope hand to his lips and gently kissed it and whispered, "I love you goddess", she smiled and said, "I love you to", Derek looked up at the doctor and said, "do you have any idea about what caused the stomach pain"?, the doctor said, "from the look of the ultrasound the baby looks fine", she turned the monitor around and pointed to the little blob on the screen.
Penelope wiped away the tears and said, "ohhhh look at that handsome, that is our baby", he grinned and said, "hello there little one, you scared mommy and daddy today". The doctor said, "I'm going to do some bloodwork and see how far along you are Mrs. Morgan, but from what I can see on the monitor and from listening to the heart on the fetal monitor it sounds like everything is ok".
Derek said, "so you are thinking that the baby is going to be fine"?, she nodded her head and said, "I will know more after I get the results of her tests back but everything seems fine". She looked at Penelope and said, "I am gonna need a urine specimen to", she nodded her head in agreement and said, "is it ok if I get up and go to the bathroom"?, she said, "well until I get the results of your tests back I would prefer it if you stayed in bed".
She smiled and said, "I can do that", the doctor said, "I will send a nurse in here and she can help you with the bedpan", Penelope took a deep breath and said, "thank you so much doctor". She grinned and said, "anytime , anytime", as the doctor was walking out of the room a nurse was walking in with a bedpan.
After Penelope finished with the bedpan a nurse came to draw some blood, she looked at Penelope and said, "the doctor has put a rush on your results so they should be back in about an hour but if you need anything please hit the button". Penelope grinned and said, "I will, thank you", the nurse then turned and headed out of the room.
Derek reached over and gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "I love you Mrs. Morgan", she winked at him and said, "I love you to Mr. Morgan", they both sighed happily as they laid there with their fingers intertwined.
