Several weeks pass by and, Marty's mart new manager is suddenly a little bit nicer towards R, he tells R that he's on a paid medical leave and not to return until after Juliet has the baby. On top of that they gave paid for his medical bill and they also keep sending him checks to keep him from suing.
"Hey love, are you coming with me to my ultrasound appointment?" Juliet asks looking for her other shoe.
"Yea, also don't forget we need to stop and refill my meds." R reminds the now forgetful new mother.
R sits up and sets his caste covered leg on the ground carefully, wincing at the pain in his ribs.
Juliet watches him as she puts on her pink ballet flat, then she hands him his crutches and bends down to give him a peck on the lips.
"What was that for?" R asks smiling up at her.
"For just being you." She says looking for her keys.
Finally they get to the Obstetricians office and wait for about an hour, which is torturous for Juliet because she was told to have a full bladder on arrival.
"mmm this water is amazing." R says chugging his bottled water.
"If you have to go pee, I'm not helping you." Juliet says smirking.
R spills water on his pants "Touché."
"Juliet Grigio?" a perky nurse asks looking around the waiting room.
Juliet stands and hands R his crutches.
He carefully and painfully walks behind them.
They give him a seat in the room next to Juliet.
"The doctor should be with you shortly." The nurse says and leaves the room.
R strokes Juliet's hand as she looks around slightly nervous.
A tall salt and pepper haired doctor walks into the room.
"Hi I'm Doctor Yates."
"I'm Juliet and this is R." The expectant mother replies politely.
"Ah, you are the father?" He asks curiously.
R nods smiling.
"Okay, Juliet it says here you are six weeks along is this correct?" The doctor asks
"Yes" she answers.
"Any problems or underlying conditions I should know about before I start?"
"R was previously a zombie, but I was told that his condition should affect the baby."
"That is correct; many babies have been born since the curing of the G virus."
Juliet and R both relax a little happy to know that they're baby will be unaffected.
"How about you to get to see how everything's going in there?"
Juliet lifts her shirt and winces as the doctor squirts a cold gel on her abdomen.
He runs a weird looking device over her stomach; she doesn't notice she just keeps looking at the screen.
"Your actually 7 weeks along, and your baby is developing well."
"That's it right there?" R asks looking at the screen in amazement while holding Juliet's hand.
"Yup, that noise you are hearing is its heartbeat."
"Wow." both of the parents say at the same time.
The rest of the appointment the couple can't stop smiling at the small screen.
They are told that in about two months they will get to see the sex of their baby.
Juliet is told to keep up on her vitamins and eating well.
"We will have no problem with that, I plan on gaining sympathy weight." R says jokingly.
The doctor chuckles.
"Thank you Doctor." Juliet says shaking his hand.
"I made a DVD of your ultrasound also." He says handing it to Juliet.
"Good luck and congratulations." He says shaking R's hand.
The rest of they're evening and night is spent watching the DVD in their bed smiling.
At about eight at night, Juliet looks over at R whose snoring and smiles, the day of movement has exhausted the poor young man.
She rolls over on her side, and gently brushes the hair out of his face.
He stirs and looks at her groggily.
"Love you." She says smiling.
"Love you too Juliet." He says putting his left arm around her and pulling her gently towards him.
