Hello fellow Jesse addicts! Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Ya'll are awesomness.
I'm about to move tomorrow. So, for the next couple of weeks I probably wont have internet access at home. I'll be able to go to the library, but that's it. Just thought ya'll should know.
Anywho, chapter 3!
Jesse's POV
Susannah was so nervous for her first appointment. I told her that she had nothing to worry about, but she just wanted to be sure the baby was healthy and everything was as it should be. It's her first pregnancy, so itwas expected.
We were in the waiting room for about 20 minutes until the nurse came in and asked for us to follow her. She did the typical tempature and blood pressure check before taking us to the examination room.
"The doctor will be right with you." She told us before closing the door behind her.
"That should be translated to 'sit here for a half an hour and stare at the posters of the reproductive system'." She said with a small smirk.
I pretended to be hurt. "Hey, I used to this. He's probably with another patient." I reminded her. I was still a doctor, but I worked in the ER now. And people usually don't make appointments before coming to the Emergancy Room.
She smirked slightly, her legs swinging back and forth on the table/ bed looking thing she was sitting on. "Yeah, but why do they send us to a room with no TV?" Susannah asked with a smile.
I stood up from the rolling chair provided and went over to her. "So we can be in a room by ourselves for 30 minutes." I sugessted. My hands found they're way to her waist as her arms swung around my neck, catching my drift.
"I can't believe your pregnant, Querida..." I said, unable to keep the smile from my face. In my previous life as a ghost, I always wish I could have started a family. And now it's actually happening. It was still surreal to think that I was going to be a father in less than 9 months.
"It's incredible, isn't it?" Susannah said before leaning in to kiss me. It started off as a soft delicate kiss, but it slowly turned more passionate as our lips parted. Our tounges getting well aquainted as our docter walked in.
We jumped apart as the door cracked open. But the nervousness ended once I noticed who the doctor was. I saw him around the hospital alot and we grew to be good friends. "Hey Greg! I didn't know you were the doctor!" I said with a smile, shaking his hand.
"They didn't tell you who your doctor was going to be?" He asked curiously as he gave my hand a firm shake.
"Well, there's alot of Docter Smith's in this hospital." I said with a small laugh. I turned to Susannah as Greg did.
"I'm Greg. It's nice to finallymeet you, Susannah." He said properly, shaking Susannah's hand.
"It's great to meet you. And Suze is fine." She said. I personally prefered Susannah, but she seemed to only let me and Father Dominic call her that.
"Well, first of all, congratulations to you both. From what I read, this is your first pregnancy. You two must be very excited." He said, to which we both nodded. "I'm going to run an ultrasound so we can find out more about when the baby will be born."
He turned on the machine and told Susannah to lay down. I sat down next to her, taking her hand. She gave me a firm squeeze as our eyes met. 'I love you' She mouthed, sending my heart soaring. I smiled and mouthed back. 'I love you, too.'
About 10 minutes later, after the equipment was all set up, I heard it. A heartbeat. It was fast, so I knew it had to be the baby. "Your about 6 weeks into your pregnancy. Your due date is October 5." He told us, as he watched the screen carefully, as a doctor should.
I swallowed back the lump in my throat. That was our child up there. I loved it so much already, and the baby was just on a screen. I looked down at Susannah, who was watching the screen excitedly, with a beautiful smile on her face. Her eyes were watering up, but I had a feeling it was more than hormones.
"Wait a second..." Greg said, fiddling around a bit with the machine, making me a bit nervous. "There's another one." He said, softly.
Within seconds, I heard two fast heartbeats. "Nombre de Dios..." I breathed.
"Congratulations, you two. It's twins." He said with a smile.
"Oh, my God." Susannah said looking up at me. I squeezed her hand as I looked down at her. We didn't speak. Just look at eachother. Our faces were a mix of shock and joy.We looked back at the screen. At our children. If I squinted, I could clearly see two babies.
It was truly a miracle.
Aw... proud papa. Sorry it's kinda short, but things are kinda hectic.
Please review!
