Humpty Dumpty
Chapter 6: Untitled as of yet
I gasped slightly as Dr. Stacey Wilson my OB squirted the cold gel onto my stomach and began scanning with the sonogram for the right spot to insert the gigantic needle to perform the amniosinthesis, I gripped Grace's hand a little tighter and was glad she was there with me even though she looked like she was going to faint when she saw the needle.
"Everything looks fantastic Mrs. Walker" Dr. Wilson said enthuiasticly.
I relaxed a little.
"Now this will only take a minute, It will be uncomfortale but it is very important that you stay still, are you ready?" Dr. Wilson asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I replied tightening my grip on Grace's hand again.
"OW!" I cried out in pain as the needle was plunged into my tummy.
"All done Mrs. Walker." Dr.Wilson anounced about 30 seconds later, "I'll see you in 2 weeks with the results, call me before then if you have any problems."
"Thankyou, see you then." I said numbly, the experince had been nowhere near as horrible as I had expected it to be but the waiting was going to be tourture.
Grace and I walked out of the hospital and hailed a cab.
"Kare, are you ok?" Grace asked gently as we headed in the cab towards Bloomingdales to try and find some half decent maternity clothes.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little tired, I didn't sleep at all last night." I replied telling a half-truth, I was tired but I was also scared to death that something would be wrong with my baby.
The reat of the cab ride was spent sitting in a comfortable silence. 15 minutes later we arrived at Bloomingdales and headed for the materninty section.
"What about this?" Grace asked holding up a hideious floral print dress.
"Barf." I said sticking my finger in my mouth pretending to make myself gag.
"These aren't too bad, I'll try them on." I said holding up a pair of black bootleg pants.
"Look they have them in other colors too." Grace held up the same pair of pants in bone, navy and brown.
"Here are some nice shirts." I said pleasently suprised at how easy this was.
20 minutes later, I had paid for $1000 worth of clothes and was begining to get hungry.
"Grace, do yau want to go for lunch somewhere?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I'm starving." She replied.
"Great, lets go." I said giggling.
