CHAPTER THREE
(chapter title – You'll See)
The next morning, Kaitlin lifted her head from the pillow to see that Roger had left. Looking at the clock next to the bed, she had an hour to get to the recording studio. She quickly put on a bright pink maternity top and jeans. She ran a hand through her hair and put a scrunchie in her hair. She then saw the note from Roger as she made her toast.
Baby,
Dropped Sara and Ally off at school. Christopher agreed to pick them up afterwards. I also scheduled a doctor's appointment for you at three-fifteen. Don't worry, I'll be going, too. Hurry up with your breakfast and come down to the studio whenever.
XOXOXOX – forever and ever,
Love from your teddy bear.
Kaitlin smiled as she read the note over and over. She heard the toaster go off and took the toast out of the toaster and spread creamy peanut butter on the toast. She then cut the toast in half long-way and picked up The New York Times. She read that Christina Aguilera and her husband, Tony Hopkins, had their baby – Samantha Emory Hopkins. Kaitlin smiled as she read the article, glancing at her watch every so often. Sara's two-year-old dog, Musetta, came over to Kaitlin twice and whined. Kaitlin smiled and took her outside. When she came back inside, she saw that she only had fifteen minutes to get to work. Putting Musetta in her kennel, Kaitlin grabbed her work bag and headed out the door.
She reached the recording studio with five minutes to spare. Walking to the sound booth, she saw Roger talking with their boss, Alan. Shit Kaitlin thought to herself, quietly opening the sound booth door and going inside. Setting her bag down, she felt the horrible pain in her side. Shaking it off, she switched on the controls as Roger came into the recording studio. He smiled at her and walked up to the hanging mike. Kaitlin smiled back at him and twisted her wedding ring around her finger.
"Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight, I see your eyes
How'd I let you slip away
When I'm longing so to hold you
Now I'd die for one more day
Cause there's something I should have told you
Yes, there's something I should have told you
When I looked into your eyes
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before this song dies
I should tell you I should tell you
I have always loved you
You can see it in my eyes
Mimi!" Roger sang, belting his heart out with the last note. Kaitlin felt tears in her eyes. Today was Sara's thirteenth birthday and Roger always had a special tradition that started with Roger picking Sara up from school; going to the graveyard and then back home for a party.
------------
Roger and Kaitlin left the recording studio at two fifty so that they could arrive at the women's clinic at three fifteen. Kaitlin was extremely nervous, but she didn't let Roger sense that.
"You okay, sweetie?" Roger asked as they drove. Kaitlin nodded and tried to make herself comfortable. Roger took a hand off the steering wheel and gently squeezed Kaitlin's shoulder. She smiled slightly and swallowed back her nausea.
"Here we are. It's gonna be okay, you'll see." Roger reassured her as they got out of the car and stepped up to the clinic. Roger had an arm wrapped around Kaitlin's waist and was holding her hand with the other. Kaitlin knew that everything would be okay, no matter what the circumstance.
