Humpty Dumpty
Chapter 11
When Dr. Wilson came back into the room Grace unwrapped her arms from around my shoulders and firmly grabbed my hans, I was still shaking like a leaf from fear.
"Mrs. Walker, I'm sorry that couldn't tell you the results over the phone but it is policy to have patients come in for test results," Dr. Wilson said in such as way that you could tell that she repeated this retric to hundreds of scared patients.
"And?" I asked getting frustrated with the small talk.
"As far as the amnio is concerned, everything is fine." Dr. Wilson said smiling.
I burst into tears of relief aand Grace pulled me in for another hug, this one jubilent, the baby chose just that moment to kick and I grinned through my tears.
"Are you sure that everything is OK?" I asked wanting to make sure that I hadn't misheard her.
"Yes everything's fine, would you like to know the sex?" Dr. Wilson replied.
I looked at Grace and she looked at me then at the sametime we both exclaimed:
"Yes!"
"It's a girl" Dr. Wilson said still smiling, I burst into a wave of new tears.
"Oh My God, a girl!" Grace squealed.
"Oh My God, a girl!" I squealed back.
Dr. Wilson gave me a refill for the prenatal vitamins I had been taking and told me to look after myself as she waved us out of her office.
I have never been more happy in my life. I can't imagine not wanting this baby, my baby girl, I love her so much and she isn't even born yet. I'm walking on air. Grace hails a cab and we get in.
Suddenly Grace aks:
"What were you writing in the Doctors office?"
"I don't want to talk about it now." I replied the reality of what I'm decison regarding Stan sinking in.
I will tell Grace later but nothing can change the fact that my baby girl is healthy, husband or no husband.
