A/N: Yay! I have a few new readers! Happy day!
Chapter 9Katie sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office. She was kind of nervous, but not really. She had a lot of emotions going on inside her at the moment. Freddy was at Zack's, yet again.
"Kathryn Jones? The doctor will see you now," the nurse said.
Katie stood up and walked into the room.
"We need to check your weight and I'm going to ask you some questions. Okay?" the nurse told her.
Katie nodded in response.
"I'll be back in about 5 minutes. Please put this on," the nurse asked as she handed Katie one of those smock things.
"Oh, okay."
5 Minutes Later
"I'm back, Katie!" the nurse announced through the door.
"I'm ready."
((A/N: I'm not sure how a maternity check-up goes so I'll just make it up.))
The nurse opened the door. "If you would please step on to the scale."
Katie walked over to the scale and stepped onto it. The nurse balanced it out and began to scribble on her clipboard.
"Your weight is normal, at 150."
"150!"
"Yes, don't worry Mrs. Jones. You'll be gaining a lot of wieghtbeings as you have to feed to people now," the nurse reassured her.
"Oh."
"Have you had any cravings lately?"
"Yes, I really wanted some Jell-O yesterday."
"Okay, and any morning sickness?"
Katie nodded. "I started that about a month ago."
The nurse continued to write. "The doctor will be in, in about 2 minutes. Until then you can relax. Can I get you some water?"
"Oh, no thank you. I'm fine," Katie smiled.
The nurse nodded and walked out of the room.
Katie looked around. The walls were covered in lilac wallpaper. It was very happy-looking. She stood up and looked at her clipboard. She was curious. Doctors don't want people looking at them but she couldn't help herself. Katie couldn't read a word of it. The handwriting was neat but she couldn't understand all the medical terms. That's what not paying attention in health class does to you!
She gave up and sat back down. The door opened.
"Hello Kathryn. I'm Dr. Wayner."
"It's nice to meet you. Please call me Katie," she smiled as she shook the doctor's hand.
"Oh, alright Katie. So how have you been holding up?"
"Good, I guess."
Dr. Wayner pulled a tape measure from her pocket. "I'm going to measure your waist. That'll make sure that your growth rate is normal."
Katie nodded.
Dr. Wayner wrapped the tape measure around Katie's waist. "43¼. That's good."
Katie was surprised. "I'm that big?! Already!?"
"Oh, it's alright Katie that's very normal. (A/N: I know this is really gross but I have to put it in here!) Any lactation?"
"No," Katie said sheepishly. She felt weird answering personal questions like this.
"Alright," Dr. Wayner said as she wrote some more. "I think you're ready for your mammogram. (A/N: I think that's what they call it. It's that thingy where you see the baby inside the mother.)"
Katie smiled. "Yay!" she exclaimed.
"I'm glad you're excited. By about," the doctor looked at her watch, "10:15, you'll know if your baby is a girl or a boy!"
"How long does this take?"
"About half an hour."
"All right."
About fifteen minutes later
"Alright Katie. I'm going to turn the machine on. I'll put this onto your stomach. It might feel a little cold."
"Okay," Katie nodded.
Dr. Wayner flipped a switch and held the camera up to Katie's stomach. Katie shuddered. It was a little cold. A gray smudgy looking picture came on the screen. The doctor moved the camera around.
"Ah, here we go! There's the baby."
Katie smiled. That was her baby, her child.
"And it looks like it's a…girl."
Katie's eyes began to fill with tears. "R-r –really?"
"Yes. You're going to have a baby girl."
"Ohmigod!"
"Okay, we're done here. You can go back into the room and get changed," Dr. Wayner smiled.
Katie nodded and smiled. She and Freddy were having a baby girl.
A/N: Dun-dun-dun-dun-DUN!!! Katie is going to have a baby girl! Yay! I hope all of you are pleased with this chapter. I sure am! lol.
