Together
– Forever! Part 41:
The
doctor's appointment
--------------------
AN:
okay,
hum this chapter is very long but it also is very important to me to
show, that this pregnancy is still normal, even thought it's a
special child with powers. I guess I have to apologise for the
length. It seems like I got carried away a bit. Didn#t even realize I
wrote nearly 3 hours on those 5 pages. I Hope you guys have fun
reading it. I for sure had!
--------------------
Prue
and Andy arrived at the doctors just in time. Prue again needed to
pee. Sometimes it was really annoying. Soon enough, she was out of
the bathroom again and they made their way into the doctor's
room
"Miss Halliwell? Mister Halliwell?"
The doctor asked,
as they entered
"Umm... no not quite... I'm still miss
Halliwell... he's still mister Trudeau and from tomorrow on it'll
be miss and Mister Trudeau"
"So you are gonna marry?"
"Yeah...
tomorrow... anyway... hey"
Prue said smiling as she reached for
the doctor's hand. Andy wasn't so talk active as he already had
seen the famous chair.
"Hello. Well I guess we never met before
yet..."
The doctor said as Prue looked up at Andy
"Umm...
honey..."
She said squeezing his hand a bit
"Wha...
what?"
"Don't you wanna say hey to dr Andrews?"
"Oh
right... hey"
Andy said and reached for the doctor's hand as
well. Prue just stood next to him and grinned slightly, then
concentrated back on the doctor
"Well that's not exactly
right. You just won't remember me anymore. I was pregnant when I was
18. I lost it."
It started to work in dr Andrews' mind as she
watched Prue closely
"Ohh... yeah... right I remember"
She
said smiling. Prue smiled as well
"So? Second
attempt?"
"Yeah..."
Prue told her...
"Well take a
seat"
She told them pointing to the chairs and Prue pulled Andy
down next to her. So. Hum. You know the most of the procedure
already. First of all I'll just ask you a few things. Then we'll
make the usual tests like size, weight, blood pressure, next I'm
gonna take some blood and uh... did you remember the
urine?"
"Yeah"
Prue said smiling as she rumoured through
her purse, then grabbed the little bag from it and handed it over to
the doctor
"Great. So well. After this is all done. We go over
to the chair, your fiancé seems to like so much..."
Andy's
attention suddenly snapped back to the conversation between the doc
and Prue again
"Umm... excuse me?"
Prue just smiled
"Where
I have to do a few tiny check ups and then we can make a video and
some pictures of what's going on inside of there"
The doc said
smiling and Prue just nodded
"Alright... then let's better get
started"
Prue told her
"Okay... first of all we need to
make sure how far along you are... for this I need the date of the
first day of your last period..."
"Umm... that won't be
necessary. I know how far along I am. My fiancé was several
weeks on a business trip and when he returned, we knew already I was
pregnant. So we're pretty sure, that I'm in the 14th
week."
Prue explained to the doctor.
"Okay, then. Well then
we still have to do all the first trimester check ups. Cause for the
second trimester ones you are a bit too early"
Prue just
nodded
"Okay... then let's go on. So... you were already once
pregnant and miscarried, right? Any other pregnancies?"
"No"
Prue
answered
"Did you have any serious illness lately or in the
past?"
"Umm... I had a petty bad cold about two months
ago"
"But you didn't notice anything wrong with the baby or
some not normal signs?"
"No"
Prue said shaking her
head
"Okay, then the last I have to know is both of your blood
groups."
"Mine's AB negative"
Andy said
"0
positive"
Prue answered
"Great, then this is through as
well..."
The doctor said noting everything down
"Then let's
go over to the vampire part"
The doc said smiling as she got up
and grabbed a shot
"You wanna lay down or stay
sitting?"
"Umm... sitting's fine"
Prue said
smiling
"Okay... I need to get kind of much blood of you, as we
have to make several tests. So just don't wonder, if you may feel a
little dizzy of the blood loss or something"
Prue nodded and
looked down at her arm, as the doctor pushed the needle into her
flesh. She made a face for a second, but then turned back to looking
at it.
'Please don't heal... please don't heal...'
She
prayed silently, as Andy placed a hand on her stomach, as if he had
read her thoughts. Prue just was relieved as she saw the shot filling
with blood after several seconds. She closed her eyes and leaned back
into Andy. As she waited for the doc to remove the shot again. As she
finally did Prue opened her eyes again. She felt a little light
headed and watched the doc put a pat onto her tiny wound and then
knitted her arm
"Just keep it that way for a bit so the bleeding
will stop"
Prue nodded but then saw the slight shining coming
from under the pat and looked at Andy, panicking. Andy just looked up
at the doc and what she was doing. She didn't look. He looked back
down at Prue and saw the glowing had stopped and then shook his head.
Prue just let a relieved sight leave her lips as she leaned again
into Andy who kissed her temple gently
"Okay... we now can move
over to the chair. As we still have to wait a bit for the blood
pressure so your system can take a break till then"
Prue nodded
a bit
"Want me to carry you?"
Andy asked, even thought he
still felt weird about this weird chair with the stirrups
Prue
didn't answer right away
"Well... we also can start with you
Mister Trudeau"
Andy looked at her
"What?"
"Well...
some men want to experience this as well. So if you
wanna..."
"Umm..."
Andy wasn't sure what to answer to
this. He felt weird doing it. But on the other hand... he wanted to
know how this felt... how it was for Prue to sit there. He simply
wanted to do as much as possible practices like Prue to understand
how she was feeling. At least try to
"You don't have to do
it"
Prue told him, pulling him out of his thoughts
"Umm...
no... She's right... I wanna experience the most things you
experience as well..."
Andy told her... and then got
up...
"So... umm... how's this working?"
"You sit
normally down and then place your legs in the stirrups..."
Dr
Andrews told him. Andy nodded a bit and then took one last calming
breath before sitting down. Prue smiled a little at the image. Andy
was so cute. Hesitantly he placed one foot after the other in the
stirrups. Prue couldn't hold back a laugh. This looked just too
hilarious. She got up as well and went over to him and pecked his
lips
"I love you, you know that?"
"You better"
He
told her. Prue smiled a bit more and kissed him again
"Okay...
now get out of it... make space for the huge lady"
"You are
not at all huge, miss Halliwell"
Prue turned around
"You
didn't see me without jeans yet."
She told the doc
"You
shouldn't do that... your stomach is already tiny enough for the
baby"
"Yeah... we just wanted to first get the marriage over
with and then... everything baby alike comes"
Prue said
smiling
"Yeah, okay. I understand."
She told Prue, as Prue
got behind a wall to get into one of those hospital shirts. As soon
as she was changed she came back out and walked back over to the
chair. Andy kissed her once again before helping her into the chair
and the stirrups. Andy watched in horror as the doc fingered around
Prue's vagina to take a closer look at it. It was so disgusting...
and he didn't like that at all. Prue smiled up at him with a look
like, just don't worry, I'm fine.
"Well it all looks pretty
good. Did you feel movements already?"
Dr Andrews
asked
"Yes/no"
Both answered at once
"What? You felt
kicks?"
"I didn't say kicks. I said moves. Slight moves. I
didn't want to disappoint you... as you can't feel it on the
surface yet..."
Andy smiled slightly and pecked her
"How
about nausea?"
"Gone for a few days now"
Prue said
smiling relieved
"What's with being exhausted?"
"It's
relatively good at the moment. A few weeks ago it was worst"
"Yeah.
It'll come back in the late pregnancy though. So enjoy the time
while you still can manage to be awake pretty long times a day... did
you already start to train a bit... condition kind of things?"
"No...
Should we?"
Andy asked worried
"Don't worry. I 'm not
talking about anything major. A little jogging. A few rounds around
the swimming pool. It'll just build up your muscles for the hours
of holding a baby. And also will create certain fitness, which can be
really helpful in the late pregnancy. It strengthens your heart and
lung."
The doctor told them while taking the blood pressure and
pulse of Prue
Andy nodded in understandment and looked at
Prue
"what do you say?"
"What I say?"
"Yeah, about
the training"
"I don't know... lately I feel like I climbed
a mountain every day anyway. I don't know if I can make
workouts"
"It's gone make you feel better. A little bit of
sports activates luck hormones"
Dr Andrews said smiling and then
let go of Prue's arm again
"Okay... everything's okay so
far... now let's slowly stop the check ups and go to the fun point.
We just need to take your weight before we go to the ultra
sound"
Prue nodded and sighted slightly
"Honey... can you
get me my panties?"
"Yeah... sure"
Andy said, as Prue got
out of the chair again. He handed it to her and she got into. Then
walked over to the scale, where dr Andrews already waited. She got
onto it and looked down at her weight. She didn't see any
difference from non-pregnancy times. But why did she feel then
already now like a whale? The doctor seemed to have read Prue's
mind
"Your baby weights right now about 110 Grams and is like 14
cm big. It's more the placenta and the adding blood, which you feel
as so much ballast. And it's the reason you grow already now, while
the baby is still that little"
Prue nodded her head, while the
doc noted her weight down on the cheat of paper as well
"Alright...
now let's go for the ultra sounds. You wanna try that one as
well?"
Dr Andrews asked looking at Andy
"You can... I
mean... if you are scared about it might hurt your fiancée"
Andy
just looked at Prue
"Don't look at me like that! It's your
decision if you want to or not..."
She told him smiling a
little
"I... think I sit that one back..."
"Great... then
we soon can go eating"
Prue commented with a grin.
"Okay
then... Miss Halliwell you may lay down already
"Yeah
sure."
Prue said sighting and did as she was told. The doc came
close to her and placed the jelly alike stuff on Prue's stomach.
Andy just stood next to her and held her hand. Prue then concentrated
on the screen as the doc started to move the 'scanner' around her
stomach, till she found the baby
"There it goes"
She said
smiling. Andy looked closely at the picture and even could recognize
a few things. It looked all too different than the picture of Meghan
looked. Tears were flowing down Prue's cheeks already before the
doc activated the sound. It was the first time both of them, really
seriously realized, that there was a baby growing inside Prue's
belly. Their baby. It was so much like the time they were in the same
room for Meghan. And yet, it was so different. Everything was
different right now. This baby would live. This baby would have
everything it needed. This baby would have a home with both its
parents there. a life with married parents. A better life than Meghan
ever could have had. Not, that they wouldn't have given her the same
love and support like they would give the baby. But they also had the
financial resources now. They could be 'real' parents now. Not
just some immature teenager sister or brother, who were still kids
themselves.
"From what I see, everything is fine till now. There
are ten fingers. Ten toes. Everything is placed on the place it
should be. So, well I'm happy to announce to you, that all check
ups turned out to show that u and your child seem in a good condition
and as healthy as you can be. And I can also tell you, that the risk
of a miscarriage after the first trimester is over goes extremely
down. So if nothing goes too wrong from now on anymore, I'm sure a
perfectly fine little baby will be lying in your arms in about 5
months."
She said smiling at the couple, which seemed to barely
listen to her. Andy tried to push Prue's tears away
"You heard
that?"
Prue nodded and tried to smile through her tears, but
couldn't stop crying. She anyway looked at the doc
"So...
there's no risk about the stress of tomorrow"
"Naturally
it'll be stress to both of you, but it shouldn't take that much
affect on any of you. And to also answer or close out any fears. The
honeymoon can be celebrated just like without an already existing
pregnancy."
Andy blushed a little. This was so embarrassing. But
on the other hand? Why? It had to be more embarrassing to Prue. A
stranger was 'inside' of her. A stranger touching her on places
he didn't even want to touch her. Everyone watching what was going
on inside of her stomach. Poor her. Eh only then noticed how there
was some sound coming from the machine, which took the pictures of
Prue's insides. He looked up
"I'm printing you a few
pictures and burning you the section down. So you can watch it at
home again with a simple DVD-player"
"Great"
Prue said
smiling and sat up, after the jelly was removed form her stomach
"I'm
gonna go get changed"
She told Andy and pecked him. Andy just
kept starring at the screen, where he still was able to see the image
of his baby. This was so amazing. A few minutes later, Prue returned,
fully dressed again they said their goodbyes, received the pictures
and movie and then left for lunch
