"Nicky, we're going to be late". Sara said grabbing her jacket and keys.

"I'm coming". He yelled running down the stairs kissing Sara passionately.

"Mmm, baby you know if you do that we'll never make it out the door".

"That was my plan". He said smirking.

"Later I promise". She said grabbing his hand as they walked out the door and to his Denali.

After they arrive at the doctors, Sara signed in and filled out the necessary papers and waited to be called.

"Sara". A nurse called out.

"That's us honey". Nick said reaching for her hand.

They walked back where Sara was asked to change into a gown and get a cold table with just a piece of paper that was rolled down from the top.

Sara laid back and Nick placed his hand on her stomach and then his ear.

"Daddy loves you very much". Nick said quietly.

Sara just smiled.

"Hi Sara, I'm Dr. Samantha Hamil".

"Hi Dr. Hamil I'm Sara's fiancé Nick Stokes".

"Hi, it's nice to meet you both".

"You too doctor". Sara replied a little shy.

"So, I understand you're expecting? Do you know how far you might be"?

"I'm approximately one month if not a little more".

"OK, well why don't you just lie back and I'll take a look at the baby on screen".

The doctor placed some cold jelly on Sara's stomach and then proceeded to put an instrument on top.

Nick looked at the screen in awe.

"Is that his heartbeat"? Nick asked.

"Yes and very strong and healthy sounding".

Sara smiled and tried her best to hold back tears.

"There's your baby". Dr. Hamil replied pointing to a small figure on the screen.

"There's our baby Nick, our sweet little baby".

Dr. Hamil smiled and said "Well, everything looks really good, so I'm going to go ahead and put you on prenatal vitamins. I need you to make sure that you eat or try to eat three meals a day".

Nick looked at Sara.

"Will that be a problem"?

"No not at all".

"Good, but if morning sickness gets to be a problem for you just call my office and make an appointment and I will write you a prescription for something".

"Thank you Doctor Hamil, I'll see you in a few weeks".

"You're very welcome, oh and one more thing I forgot to ask you how you were doing with your cancer"?

"Well, I've been in remission for almost 2 months and I'm feeling great. I mean I didn't realize I was pregnant until my last oncology appointment".

Nick looked at the doctor.

"Will the baby be ok? I mean Sara still needs to take certain medications because of the leukemia".

"Yes, I checked on the medications you were taking and I see they changed them to pregnancy safe medications, but if anything changes and you don't feel safe, please call me".

"Thank you again doctor".

"Bye Ms. Sidle, bye Mr. Stokes".

"Bye Doctor Hamil".
