She's waiting with Matt for the doctor in their room. They had been guided back as soon as she signed in so she didn't have to wait in the waiting room and also because most, if not all, of the doctors here know who she is because of her father. They're trying to make things as comfortable as they can for her, feeling sorry about what happened. She's sitting on the edge of the big patient chair for exams while Matt is wondering around the office, looking around. She watches him, arching an eyebrow as he is staring at some of the posters with intense confusion.
"You okay, Matty?" She questions, looking at him sideways.
"I know nothing." He confesses to her as he turns back to her, clueless look on his face and she just lets out a soft laugh, shaking her head slightly pushing herself up to stand. Just then Dr. Chloe Beckett, Blonde, in her late thirties and has known Alexis since she was a child. The women looks up at her, holding a clip board with a few sheets in her hands as she walks into the room. She tucks the board under her arm as she reaches a hand out to shake Alexis hand.
"Alexis, lovely to see you again-" She smiles at the teen and the pregnant girl smiles softly back before letting go of her hand and the doctor turns her eyes to the blond male. "- and you are?"
"Matt, Matt Donovan, The father." Matt is quick to tell the women, shaking her hand firmly. Alexis lips twitch up at him saying that as a funny feeling over comes her. He lets go of her hand and she moves to sit down in her chair and motions to the two by it.
"Have a seat please." She tells them as she turns her chair slightly to be in front of theirs and facing.
"So how are you feeling, Alexis and how far along are you? Your aunt told me you were quite close to second trimester."
"Just over Eleven weeks."She admits.
"Well since you're Eleven weeks well actually be doing more than normal for the first appointment so you won't have to come straight back in next week? Okay? So, we'll start off with few questions, collect samples for a few tests, check up on you and lastly and Ultrasound to just make sure everything's okay as well as confirm you are pregnant." The women explains to them both clearly and the to teens looks at each before nodding, but then they both seem to pause as her last words catch up to them.
"Wait, An ultra sound, like actually see the baby?" The brunette speaks up, eyes widening and smile on her lips at the thought of seeing her child for the first time.
"Yes, Alexis. Now is there anything you'd like to ask me?"
Matt actually surprises Alexis with the amount of questions he asks, she smiles though as she listens to each of the answers the doctor provides them. He asks about how to help Alexis, dieting needs and how much the average baby costs, he asks almost every question she has. It makes the pregnant girl feel so so secure seeing him this involved but it always shows her how worried he is about it all.
"My morning sickness has been...really bad." Alexis admits, shifting in her chair as she is quite concerned about it.
"Has it just been in the mornings?" The older women questions, furrowing her brow.
"Sometimes around mid day but mostly in the morning, after I wake."
"That is perfectly normal." The doctor assures her as it isn't uncommon for some women's morning sickness to stay around into the second trimester but she gives the girl plenty of suggestions that could help ease and prevent it. Matt leaves the room, waiting outside the door as the doctor suggested he not be in the room for some of the other tests and checks up she had to do with Alexis. When he comes back into the room she's dressed again and sitting back down on the chair.
She then weighs Alexis before she draws some blood from her and sends for Matt to do the same but he must come in and do it tomorrow. The doctor asks about family medical history of the both of them and since they aren't really aware of anything she has asked them to come back next time with that information. Everything goes well and then it's time for the ultrasound. Her heart is beating so fast and she flinches as the cold gel is smeared onto her lower abdomen causing her to laugh a little at it. The women presses the transducer probe onto of the gel a little hard, apologizing for the coldness.
She reaches for Matt, needing that reassurance as he stands by her. He takes her hand in his, squeezing it gently to comfort her and she only relaxes slightly because although its probably only been half a minute the doctor hasn't said anything and it's scaring her. The doctor is looking at the screen intently, moving the probe over her abdomen. Suddenly she stops as a bold like shape of a peanut is shown on the monitor. "So everything looks really good." The doctor tells them causing Alexis to close her eyes and let out a breath of relief. She looks to Matt instinctively seeing if he's good to, the look on his face mirrors hers, relief and happiness. The doctor looks at them, before pointing at the screen. "You see this right here?"
"Yeah?"
"That's your child." She tells them, looking at the two. "I'll let you to be alone for a moment." She speaks before she steps out of the room for a moment so they can be alone and have their moment.
Its a feeling she knows she'll never forget, the moment she sees her unborn child on the monitor she feels many emotions all hit her at once. There's a warmth in her chest and honestly not single bad or worried thought is in her mind because right now she's happy.
She feels love so much love, her child isn't even born and she already loves it more than she thought possible. She's holding onto his hand, she's having a baby with the guy she's always wanted, the boy she loves who she can see becoming the man she loves. Sure, their situation isn't easy but there's no question about it for her, it might be hard but it will always be worth it.
His heart feels like it stops, like he can't even breath for a moment as he can make out his daughter or son on the monitor of the ultrasound machine. Like her, there's a warmth in his chest at the sight.
He's not sure how this will work out but he is putting everything he has into stepping up. He's always wanted kids, they were always in the plan for his life but never when he was a teen. He wanted to have a stable home and get married in his twenties then settle down quick then have a few kids, something Tyler always huffed at. Now maybe he's getting what he wants but just in the wrong order which makes it so much harder but he is willing to do what it takes.
He looks down at Alexis, the look on her face is that of complete wonder and love. She's his best friend, sure they drifted apart when he was dating Elena but she's always been there for him and he has always been there for her. It's complicated what he feels for her but there is something there. She looks up to him huge smile on her face and he hold her hand tighter, he can't help but to smile back softly at her before they both look back at the screen.
They doctor comes back in the room and tells them that in her next appointment and ultrasound they can find out the gender if the want because it's simply too early and the baby wouldn't have been in the right position anyway. She tells them the next appointment will be in four weeks as she hands them two printed copies of the ultrasound. Alexis smiles so brightly and thanks the women.
They part ways from the doctor and she kind of feels like she's on cloud nine. "Wow." She breaths out as the walk in the hall of the hospitable.
"Yeah, wow." He tells her, smile on his face. He needs to check in on Vicki, in the next wing of the hospitable and maybe if she's awake he wants to tell her but he checks in with Alexis if that's okay.
"We can tell people right?" He questions looking at her and she looks up at little surprised that he asked. She thinks about it for a moment, letting out a breath of air before nodding.
"Yeah but not too many, friends and family." Neither really want this all spreading like wildfire so they're trying to step into it slowly.
"That sounds...good." He agrees nodding his head. They don't have time to hang out like they planned, the appointment talk quite longer then they though he only has about half an hour before his shift at the grill starts and he needs to be with Vicki. Alexis doesn't take it to heart, she just smiles and hugs him because she needs to get to the grill. She's too hungry to stay around, they were meant to get lunch, he gives her his car keys, that he'll get back when he starts his shift, so she can drive down.
She texts Caroline that the appointment was over and Caroline just tells her to meet her at the grill in five minutes with many text smiley faces to end it.
