Chapter 25: Peanut Butter.
It was Thursday and Vaughn drove Sydney to the hospital. Sydney was singing along to the radio hoping the baby inside of her was listening.
"We're here." Vaughn said, turning off his engine a parking space.
They made there way to the seating area and waited to be seen by the Doctor. Sydney immediately started to chat to the other Mother's who were expecting babies. Vaughn sat nervously hoping that there wouldn't be any complications for Sydney.
"What's the matter?" Sydney had noticed Vaughn's nervousness.
"I keep thinking something bad is going to happen. Or there will be a problem with the baby."
Sydney pulled Vaughn into a hug.
"Stop worrying everything will be fine. Trust me." She put her hands into Vaughn's and smiled at him.
"If you say so Syd." He smiled at her.
The Doctor came out into the waiting room and greeted Sydney and Vaughn.
"Mr and Mrs Vaughn if you'd like to come this way."
They followed her into the room.
"Sydney if you'd like to lie on the bed we can see how this baby inside of you is doing."
Sydney clambered onto the bed and lied down.
"I'm Doctor Sarah Richards."
She shook both Sydney and Vaughn's hands.
Sydney pulled back her top and Dr Richards got the equipment ready. She looked over at Sydney.
"Wow that's an impressive scar!" She looked over her notes.
"I see you've had appendicitis."
"That's right." Sydney said. "They said I may have lost the baby if the infection spread. Luckily it didn't."
"That's good to hear. At the moment you are about 9 weeks pregnant. How have you been feeling?"
"I get tired quite easily and the hormones are playing up sometimes. I'm also experiencing 'morning sickness' every morning." Sydney replied.
"One tip to reduce being or feeling sick is to eat crackers when you wake up. It will make you feel better. Also try eating peanut butter that also helps."
"Thanks. I'll try those."
Dr Richard squirted some gel on Sydney's stomach.
"Let's see what this baby's up to."
Sydney looked across at the screen as the baby started to appear.
"There's the baby's elbows, arms and legs. The baby looks approximately 13-17 mm crown to rump length, or about 0.51 - 0.66 inches."
Sydney's eyes filled with water.
"The baby's so beautiful." She said.
Vaughn held Sydney's hand.
"Look Syd the baby's waving at us!"
Sydney giggled through her joyful tears.
"Hi baby it's your Mummy's here. If you can hear-"
The baby moved and both Sydney and Vaughn grinned from ear to ear.
"The baby is so sweet." Vaughn commented.
"The baby looks to be perfecting healthy." Dr Richards observed.
"See I told you it would be fine." Sydney said to Vaughn.
Vaughn smiled.
"Can we have a print out?"
"Sure. I'll do that for you. Sydney I'm going to recommended you start talking iron tablets from now on, okay?"
"We'll pick some up on the way home." She replied.
Dr Richards wiped the gel off Sydney stomach and replaced the equipment. She returned a few minutes later with the print out.
Vaughn studied it.
"It looks just like you Sydney." He said.
"How can you tell that?" Sydney replied.
"The way it moved on the screen like it's doing martial arts. It's so much like you."
"And I'm sure it will have a part of you to, Vaughn"
"I hope so." Vaughn replied and he kissed Sydney.
"The next appointment is the same time next Month." Dr Richards said.
Vaughn nodded and wrote it in his diary.
"Let's go home and snuggle up in bed." he said to Sydney.
"Good idea" She replied and they left the room to head for home.
+++++++++
Vaughn drove Sydney home and on the way they stopped off at the supermarket to buy some iron tablets and a jar of peanut butter.
"You know Vaughn?" Sydney started as they got out of the car.
"What?"
"I used to love peanut butter as a kid. Ate it everyday for as long as I can remember."
"I've actually never tried peanut butter before. In France I never had anything like that. For breakfast I always ate pastries."
"They're delicious with honey dripped over them."
"Or chocolate."
"SHUT UP VAUGHN!" Sydney shouted "You're making me hungry."
"Shut up hormones." Sydney whispered to herself.
They went inside the supermarket and went and brought the things they needed.
"I'll just pay for these." Sydney said to Vaughn.
Vaughn sat on a chair near to the checkout and waited for Sydney to come.
"All set?" He asked her when she arrived.
"Yep I've got the peanut butter. Went for the smooth this time. I'm also a sucker for the crunchy too. I also brought two bottles of iron tablets."
"Good let's go then."
As they were walking out of the store danger stuck and suddenly Sydney was rendered unconscious….
