Chapter 16: Scanning the results
"Well Surgeon Groat and the Nurse analysed the blood test results. It's good news the infection hasn't spread."
"So we're going to have a baby?" questioned Vaughn.
"Yes that is correct. Congratulations both of you!"
Sydney put her cup of soup on the bedside table and her eyes welled up with tears of joy. She flung her arms around Vaughn.
"Oh Vaughn. We're going to have a baby! I'm so happy."
"Me too!" he cried.
They hugged each other and then fell into a kiss. The Doctor excused herself to leave the happy couple alone in enjoyment. Sydney suddenly pulled away from Vaughn's lips, remembering something. Vaughn looked at her quizzically.
"Vaughn, how are we going to get married?"
"What do you mean Syd? I thought at all weddings you walk down isle, say a few words, get out a ring, kiss and then you are married" he replied.
"I know that but I thought we were going to get married on Tuesday. That's three days away and I won't be leaving then."
"Oh god Syd I didn't think about that." he paused "I have an idea. I saw a chapel in the hospital. We could get married there. I'm going to phone your Dad later and update him on your condition. I could get him to phone everyone, your friends etc and they could come here for the wedding. What do you think?"
"We're going to get married in a hospital? Wouldn't you rather put off the wedding and get married when I'm better?" she asked.
"We both agreed to that date and I want to stick by it. I'll make that phone call later today and ask Jack about it. Okay?"
"It would be kid of fun getting married in a hospital. Hey, I'll even be dressed in a gown….well a hospital one anyway." Both Vaughn and Sydney laughed aloud.
"I'll make sure you have a beautiful white dress and I'll have a tuxedo to wear."
Sydney smiled as her eyes began to droop.
"I'm not hungry anymore. I'm going to sleep. Wake me up in a hour or so."
Vaughn smiled "I will honey. You sleep well and dream of our wedding and our beautiful to be baby."
Sydney nodded and let her eyes close shut.

Dr Meadow Brooke entered the room later, pushing a trolley with the ultrasound on it. She set it down beside Sydney's bed just as Sydney was waking up.
"Hello Sydney. That was good timing. I just came to do your ultrasound."
Sydney opened her eyes and smiled. She looked to the chair beside her confused. The Doctor noticed this.
"Vaughn went out a while ago to have some food. I just passed him paying so he should be here any moment."
As if one queue Vaughn walked in and Sydney gave a bright smile at him. He kissed her on the forehead before taking her hand and sitting down in his chair.
"Now before we do the ultrasound I just want to know how you're feeling Sydney."
Sydney nodded.
"Well I'm okay I guess. Maybe a bit sore when I move around a bit but I think that's it. I mean the nausea is part of the pregnancy isn't it?" Sydney replied.
"Yes it is. Okay well it sounds like you are right on the way to mending yourself. I'm going to start with your abdomen first" She squeezed the gel onto Sydney's abdomen "I'm going to place the wand over the area of your incision. Just look at the screen and you and Vaughn can see how you're healing."
The Doctor began to move the wand over Sydney's abdomen and the picture formed on the screen.
"Well I can't see any infection or bleeding. It looks very good" She moved it over again to be sure. Sydney winced and tightened her grip on Vaughn's hand.
"Are you okay?" he asked, concernedly
"It's just a bit tender there. That's all."
"Sorry" replied the Doctor "I'll up your morphine for the pain."
She finished and upped Sydney's Morphine and record the results on her chart.
She wiped the gel off Sydney abdomen.
"Your abdomen looks in good shape."
She then placed some gel on Sydney's stomach then moved the wand over that. She pointed to the screen.
"Although it doesn't look much yet, that's your baby. It's still developing but it's there."
Sydney turned her head and peered at the screen.
"Where?" she asked "I can't see it."
Vaughn pointed "There it is."
Sydney suddenly saw it and her eyes filled with joyful tears.
"It looks so small but that's our baby." her dimples came into view again and she beamed like a child who'd just received a gold start for being good in class.
"Oh Vaughn. That's our baby. Our bundle of joy."
"The baby will be so cute" he paused a minute "Look," she said pointing "The baby has your eyes."
"How can you tell?"
"Sydney it just has to look like you. You're the most beautiful person I have ever met."
Sydney gave Vaughn and hug, smiling.
