"Wow Franky, I must say I did not expect us to get an appointment so fast." I am genuinely shocked, after a pleasant conversation with the receptionist, we were informed they had a slot available on Monday morning at 10am, which we very excitably agreed on.
"I know Gidge, this is happening much faster than I thought, I figured we would have to wait weeks for a consult! Oh, we'll both need to contact work and inform them we won't be in Monday morning, don't see it being any issues though. I'll give Amelia an email now to inform her I have an appointment I can't miss, and you can do the same with the University Principal.
"Will do that now too Franky, I can't wait for Monday now to get the ball rolling with it all, let's just make sure we're well prepared though – just in case it's not the news we want to hear." I want both Franky and I to be braced if we don't get the information we desire.
"I know baby, let's just go in with an open mind and listen to what the doc has to say, and do whatever tests need done okay?" Franky embraces me tightly, and presses a kiss to my forehead.
"You're right darling, I just don't want to set our hopes too high in case it's bad news, but let's just remember that whatever happens, we always have other options if neither of us can carry the baby." I say with a small smile. Franky wraps me tighter in her arms and reaches to pull a blanket over us both. 'Roll on Monday morning' I think as I start to drift to sleep.
