Chapter 20: Oh Baby!
Week 11
Cruz groaned and leaned back against the wall. Morning sickness had hit her like a ton of bricks; she'd had it for maybe 2 weeks now. She was so glad that she had her 3 month appointment today; maybe the doctor could give her something. She pushed herself up off of the floor and flushed the toilet before heading back to the bedroom.
Bosco rolled over as she climbed into bed "You ok?" She glared at him "Yes I'm fine! I just got up at 3:00 in the morning to puke my guts out! You think I'm ok?" She turned huffily in bed with her back to Bosco. Bosco just rolled his eyes; she'd been very, very moody ever since the hormones had kicked in.
Cruz woke up 5 hours later to get ready for her appointment in an hour and a half. She rubbed her back, which was sore from being bent in two and walked into the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and gently pushed her shirt up to her chest. She stood sideways and gently rubbed her hand over her stomach
"Bosco!" she yelled. Bosco ran into the bathroom "Yeah?" She stood up straight, grinning "Look, you can see a little bump!" Bosco glanced at her sideways. She didn't look too different, but since her had been with her for nearly a year and a half he knew how slender she usually was. There was a slight curve just above her waistline and he smiled excitedly "That's our baby" She turned and flung her arms around him
"Thank you" she whispered lightly in his ear and Bosco knew she was talking about more than the baby. He lifted her slightly off the floor "Your welcome" Suddenly she squirmed "Bosco, let me go I'm going to throw up" he let her down quickly and she ran in front of the toilet.
Bosco held her hair tightly as she heaved into the toilet. When she was done he handed her a glass of water, which she rinsed her mouth out with. "That is one thing I am not thankful for" she said wiping her mouth off. Bosco rubbed her back sympathetically "I'm sorry" Cruz smirked "You better be and this baby better love me a whole lot more than you."
10:00 am
Cruz sat down on the bed in the exam room; she was meeting her doctor for the first time. The doctor opened the door and stepped in "Hi, you must be Mrs. Boscorelli, I'm Dr. Lind." Dr. Lind was slightly taller than Cruz and she had a short blonde bob, she was maybe 30 and she seemed nice. "Hi, you can call me Maritza."
Cruz squeezed Bosco's hand "This is Bosco, you should probably call him that" She smiled at the doctor. "No problem, so how have you been feeling?" Cruz smirked "Like crap. Honestly, it's like I woke up one morning about a week ago and I've been throwing up every day since then. I've had to miss at least a week of work" Dr. Lind nodded "Where do you work?"
"Police force" Dr. Lind glanced up "Ok, Maritza? I would suggest either working the desk or taking leave until after the baby's born" Cruz nodded "I have 2 weeks left of work then I'm on the desk" "Ok, well take it easy. For the nausea I can't really do anything. It's a normal part of pregnancy so you'll just have to wait it out. It should stop within the next month."
Cruz groaned "You've got to be kidding me" Dr. Lind smiled "Sorry, I'm not. Alright we need to get to the physical part of the exam then we can do the first ultrasound. Do you want Bosco to stay with you? It's a pretty…intimate exam" Cruz nodded "He'll make me more comfortable"
The Doctor nodded. After the exam, Cruz turned uncomfortably, that had definitely been a very uncomfortable, intimate exam. Dr. Lind smiled sympathetically "Sorry about that, I'll go get the ultrasound machine. Did you drink the required 6 glasses of water this morning?" Cruz nodded. "Ok" As the doctor left Cruz turned to face Bosco "We're going to see our baby" she said, a hint of excitement creeping into her voice.
Dr. Lind pulled Cruz's hospital gown up over her tiny stomach and spread some gel over her stomach. Cruz fidgeted, the gel was cold, but as the doctor placed the instrument on her stomach she grew silent. "Is that it?" she asked in no more than a whisper. The doctor nodded and pointed it's head out. Cruz squeezed Bosco's hand tightly "Bosco, that's our baby" He nodded, his eyes bright with tears "That's our baby"
(A/N) sorry for the lack of action, but I will make there be more soon!
