Author's Note- Sorry for the long wait I have been busy with the high levels of stress of my schoolwork and projects. Doesn't help that I'm going to the 3rd best school in my state(Not telling you what state). Anyway time for updating, Ch.7: The Checkup
Chapter 7
The Checkup
Riley sat in the waiting room with Lucas waiting for their 4 month antenatal checkup.
"Riley Matthews" the nurse called.
Riley got up with Lucas and entered the room.
After a few minutes
"Well, Riley everything looks fine, blood pressure, and the urine and blood test were perfect. The baby is healthy as well."
"That's great is there anything else we need to know." Riley asked
"Well, it's okay for you two to have sex again, nothing will happen to the baby and before you go, Riley there are some things you can expect in your second trimester. Leg pain, puffiness in ankles, hands, and face, deep vein thrombosis, pelvis and hips and abdominal pain, aching back, nasal congestion, nosebleeds and bleeding gums, and heartburn, Braxton Hicks. There I think I covered all of them."
"What are Braxton Hicks?" Riley asked.
"Braxton Hicks are contractions or false labor, they tighten your uterine muscles. It helps prepare for labor and delivery. These only last a few minutes though and shouldn't come back for a while. Nothing to worry about. If they become regular and cause pain call me right away because it could be preterm labor."
"Okay, thank you Dr. Barnes. I'll see you for our next appointment.
With Farkle and Maya
"How did I get such a great girlfriend."Farkle said
"When you married me in seventh grade."Maya said joking around
Farkle gave her a weird look then laughed.
"Relax, I'm just kidding. I just really started to like you in High School. Remember Roosevelt High School where everyone got together." Maya said.
"I remember Maya it has been 5 years but I remember." Farkle replied.
"Remember our first date we were on a picnic on the greatest hill in the park. We had my mom's tuna wrap and your pasta and the sparkling apple cider. It was amazing and it was the first time you said "I love you, Maya." It was the best." Maya stated.
"I'm glad it was such a memorable first date, the first is always the best." Farkle said
"Want to go to the apartment and make dinner." Maya asked
"Sure." Farkle replied.
Back with Riley and Lucas
"Lucas, aren't you glad that we're getting closer." Riley asked unlocking the front door to their apartment.
"Riles, I'm extremely grateful for this baby." Lucas replied
"I'm glad to hear you say that Lucas."
"So what are we cooking for dinner."
"Regular food" Lucas said
"Funny, now what is it?"Riley asked
"Homemade fettuccine." Lucas replied
"You know how much I love pasta." Riley said
"I know how much you love food in general." Lucas said
"I do love food, it keeps me alive and happy." Riley said
"That's what I love about you." Lucas said giving Riley a peck on the lips before going into the kitchen to make dinner.
