Kim and Jared met up at lunch, and pretty much were making out since. I mean I've seen some gross stuff, but those two were trying to suck of the others face. I was slightly frightened that Kim would end up in my situation if they continued.
When the bell rang, Paul and the other guys had to about physically pull those two apart. Once we were sure that those two made it to their next class without making any detours, we went to our next class. I glanced up at Paul, and stared down at our interlocked hands. His tan skin made my pale tone look almost white. He gave my hand a small squeeze, drawing my attention up to his face.
"Do you want to go with me to my doctors appointment?" I blurted out. Paul stopped walking, causing me to stop too. He bore down on me.
"Do you want me to go?" Paul asked me.
"Yeah, this baby is yours just as much as it is mine. You deserve to be there," I told him. Be smiled down at me before leaning foreword to kiss me on the lips then on the forehead.
"I'll go with you," he agreed. I smiled up at him and squeezed his hand. We went to our next class, a small smile on my face for the rest of the day.
The next day, Paul and I called in to the school to let them know that we weren't going to be there and told them why. We climbed into his truck and began our drive towards Forks. I sat beside Paul in the middle of the cab, his arm wrapped around my shoulders.
"What do you hope the baby will be?" I asked him. He thought for a minute.
"It doesn't matter to me. I'll love it either way. What about you? Do you want a boy or girl?" Paul asked back a me.
"I'm good with either. I actually want the gender to be a surprise," I tell him. He squeezes my shoulders, and brings me closer to him, kissing me on the side of my head.
"I'm good with it being a surprise too," he states. We spent the rest of the ride just chatting about anything, every now and then Paul places a kiss on either the side of my head, my cheek, my forehead, or my neck, and every once and a while on the lips.
We pulled up to Fork's General Hospital, and parked. I led Paul to the maternity ward, and checked in.
"You're here to see Dr. Jameson?" the receptionist asked. I nodded my head. "I'm sorry to inform you, but Dr. Jameson has been transferred. You have bee transferred to see a new doctor."
"Do you know who the new doctor is?" I asked. The lady shook her head no. "Okay, thanks." I walked over to where Paul had found a seat. All of the other women in the room eyed him with interest, causing him to pull a look of discomfort. I couldn't help but giggle at it. As we waited to be called, we each picked up a magazine, but the ones that were sitting across the tables were more for women. Paul gave a huffed sigh, and decided to act childish. He reached up and began to tug at a strand of my black hair. I swatted at him, never looking up from the article that I was reading. He did it again, twisting the long strand around his fingers.
"Why must you do this," I grumbled at him. He just grinned at me, and began to run his finger across my scalp. I rolled up the magazine in my lap, and whacked him with it. He then gave a whimper like a hurt puppy, but I knew better than to believe it. I leaned over and gave his nose a small flick, before I placed a kiss on it. A little old lady that was sitting nearby smiled at our antics.
"You two are too cute together. Don't you think so Julie?" the older lady asked the pregnant women next to her, no doubt her daughter. "You remind me how my husband and I use to act when we were younger." The nurse had called Julie, and the two women got up. The older lady smiled and waved to us. I waved back.
"So, do you think we will grow old together like that?" I asked Paul.
"Sure, I can see us that way, but after we have more children," he answers. I rolled my eyes.
"How about we have this one first, before we plan more," I tell him, leaning into him. He nuzzles my neck. The nurse steps out of the office, and calls my name. Paul and I stand, and the nurse leads us back to our room. I sit on the table chair next to the sonogram machine, and waited for the doctor. We did n't have to wait too long. When the door handle begins to turn, Paul sits strait up, and lets out a growl like noise. He moves quickly, and is standing over me in a blink of an eye. The door opens, and in steps an older blond man. When I got a good look at his face, I began to blush. He had the most unique colored eyes, an intense amber color. This man was extremely attractive. Paul gives off a warming growl.
"Paul," the man greets calmly.
"Cullen," Paul snarled back. I reach for the back of Paul's shirt, and gave it a hard tug. I knew that it caught him off guard, because he stumbled slightly, until he caught his balance beside me.
"Paul, knock it off," I snapped. Paul pouted at my, but kept an eye on the doctor.
"You must be Raven Grant," the doctor says. I nodd my head. "My name is Dr. Cullen. Dr. Jameson asked me to take over for her. Why don't we get started."
I pulled up my shirt, and allowed the doctor to squirt the jelly onto my stomach. I gave a small gasp, which caused Paul to start up his growling again. I shot him a look that shut him up.
"Well, everything looks normal. Do you wish to know the sex?" Dr. Cullen asked. I looked over at Paul shook his head.
"No, we want it to be a surprise," I reply. The doctor flipped a couple of switches. A loud thumping noise filled the small room.
"Alright. That is your heartbeat." He flipped another switch, and another heartbeat filled the room. The doctor twisted around the screen so that Paul and I could see it too. Dr. Cullen pointed out the head, body, and the arms and legs. Everything was well defined being that I just started my eighth month.
I glanced up at Paul beside me. He had a look of awe that crossed his face, and what looks like tears building up in the corners of his eyes. I could relate with him. Each time that I heard the heart, or saw it over the monitor, and even now that the baby is kicking, I can't believe that I have a small human growing in me. I reached over, and grabbed his hand. He smiles down at me.
"How many of the sonogram pictures would you like?" Dr. Cullen asks, freezing the image.
"Five please," I answered. I wanted to get one for Paul and me each, and I was gathering them for the baby and I have a stack set aside for my parents and Paul's parents. The doctor nodded, and told the nurse. He then gives me a paper towel to wipe off the jelly.
"I would like to see you in about a month for the final check-up," Dr. Cullen tells me. I nod. He begins to get up, before I stop him.
"Dr. Cullen, how do you know Paul? You two seem to have some history by the greeting. You're a vampire, aren't you?" I asked. I notice him hesitate by the door, and Paul stiffens next to me.
"Yes I am. How'd you figure it out?" he asks. I shrug, and motion over to Paul, who practically sat through the whole appointment ready to attack.
"He gave it away with all the growling," I answered, as I gathered my things. Dr. Cullen had an amused look on his face, and Paul looked a little sheepish. The nurse then came to the door, and gives me the pictures. I put my hand in Paul's, and pulled him towards the door. "We'll see you for the next appointment Dr. Cullen," I stated, waving goodbye over my shoulder, and pulling Paul out the door. We started towards the parking lot, after stopping to make my next appointment. Right as we made it out to the truck, Paul grabbed me by the shoulders and pinned me to the truck, fastening his lips to mine. I gasped, before circling my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. We pull away, and I smile up to him.
"What was that for?" I asked, somewhat out of breath.
"Thank you," he says. "Thank you for having this baby. This is apart of us that no one can take away. Thank you." He gave me another kiss, before pulling away, and opening up the door for me to climb in.
