A/N: Hi all! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! For your reading pleasure,
I decided to add a new chapter to my story-----one that is another filler,
but hopefully you will like. This story will be done soon, I hope, (I keep
thinking of new ideas) and then it is time to move on to a new fic---one
you all get to choose! Just look at my profile and let me know which one
you want in a review, and I will use the one with the most votes! Anyhow,
some notes to the lovely readers!
Shadw: Thanks for reviewing this, and yes I love my soaps, I grew up on them, especially, All My Children, Dallas and Dynasty, which explains a lot about my fics! Thanks again and keep reading!
Dr. Carter smiled at the couple, even though he was embarrassed to have caught them in such a compromising position. It wasn't like he hadn't seen something like that before, but it still made him feel uncomfortable nonetheless. "Are you two ready for the appointment?" he asked, hoping to avoid any further embarrassment.
"Yeah, sure," TJ said quickly, his face finally returning to normal color. "Spinelli, are you ready?" he asked, helping her sit up.
"Yeah, sure let's get this over with," Spinelli sighed, just wanting to get the stupid appointment over with so she can finally get on with her life. She was still confused over what to do, and hoped that the appointment would help her come to a decision that would make both her and TJ happy. She felt TJ put his arm around her as he and Dr. Carter helped her into her wheelchair and took her down to the maternity ward. She smiled up at him as Dr. Carter wheeled her to her exam room, with TJ holding onto her the entire way. She felt so lucky that he loved her so much and felt guilty that she had hurt him so much over the past couple of days. But if he only knew what was going on inside her mind, why she had turned to her eating disorders instead of him, then maybe he would be able to understand her behavior. She knew it was probably no excuse, but she hoped that one day she would be able to tell him and hoped that he would forgive her and help her overcome the feelings of anger and guilt that ultimately led her to such destructive behavior.
"OK, Miss Spinelli, I am going to put this jelly stuff on your belly—its going to be a bit cold—but it will help us see the baby's development and check on the health of the baby. Are you ready?" Dr. Carter asked her, interrupting her thoughts.
"Yes, yes I am," she said quickly, trying to push her thoughts to the back of her mind and concentrate on what was going on.
"OK, good, no go put on this gown and then we can begin," Dr. Carter handed her a hospital gown and showed Spinelli where to go change. (A/N: I have never been pregnant so I have no clue how this works, so I am making it up as I go along!)
Five minutes later, Spinelli was lying on her back, hooked to a machine that showed the baby growing inside her on a little monitor. She looked over at TJ, who seemed in awe as Dr. Carter moved the machine wand across her belly to show the baby in different positions.
"Can you tell us what we are having?" TJ asked, his voice slightly choked up as he thought of the little life growing inside his girlfriend. He blinked a few times, letting a couple of tears drop from his eyes. "Man, I'm turning into Mikey," he thought. "Next thing you know, I'll be speaking poetically and dancing around the room!" He laughed slightly at the thought, causing Spinelli to give him a strange look.
"Well, it is a bit early to tell, but by the next visit, we will be able to let you know if you want to." Dr. Carter moved the machine around a bit more. "As for the health of the baby, it is a bit weak, due to Miss Spinelli's lack of nutrients, but if she keeps up and sticks to the special diet her nutritionist will give her, as well as stays on the prenatal medication we will put her on, I see no reason in the world your child will be carried to full term. Just keep on mind that due to the eating disorders causing strain to Miss Spinelli's body, there is a chance of complication, so we are going to have to monitor this pregnancy closely as a precaution." Dr. Carter switched another button on the machine. "Now, although I can't let you know what you are having yet, would you settle for listening to your baby's heartbeat?"
"Sure," TJ said happily, putting on the headphones Dr. Cater handed him. He smiled as he watched the baby move on the monitor, listening to the little heart beating. "Spin, listen, it's our baby!" he cried out, putting the headphones on her head.
Spinelli took the headphones cautiously, taking in the sound coming from the little life growing inside her. She smiled as she felt TJ take her hand and watched the monitor. How could she have ever----She took of the headphones and turned to TJ, her eyes filled with tears. She finally knew what to do and hoped that TJ would keep his promise and support her decision.
"Teej, I came to a decision on what to do about the baby," she informed him, knowing in her heart that she was making the right choice, despite the fact that it would impact the lives of those around her more than she would ever know.
A/N: another sucky short filler chapter with a cliffie! Please don't kill me!! I have an idea of where I am taking this, and chapters like this are necessary. So what did Spinelli decide? How will TJ react? Find out next time! R/R, but please keep my golden rule in mind! Thanks for reading!
Random advice for the day: never fly naked while naked! (from some drunk guy that called my dorm room at 3 am once)
