Chapter 4
During the car journey no words were spoken until we arrived at the doctors surgery. I got out and started to make my way towards the entrance.
I reached the desk first, Matt right behind me.
"Karen Gillan to see Doctor Cartman…" I said to the receptionist.
"Ah, yes 11:30am is your appointment. The time now is 11:15am. I will tell Doctor Cartman that you are here." She replied warmly.
"Thanks." Was my reply.
We went into the waiting room, luckily no-one was in there. Matt made sure that I was comfortable, and every few minutes he would ask if I was okay.
Finally Doctor Cartman called my name, it was time to find out if I was indeed pregnant…
Matt was determined to come in with me to find out at the same time. He was very impatient. He will make a good dad for our baby.. I think I l-
Doctor Cartman cut off my thoughts.
"Karen, what can I do for you today?" She asked.
"Well," I started "I was wondering if you could check if I am pregnant or not." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, can you lie down on the bed over there please?"
I walked over to the bed and lied down. Oh god. finally the moment of truth…I'm so nervous! Why am I so nervous about this? I might not even be pregnant for god sakes!
"Matt, can you hold my hand please?" I asked. Damn involuntary speech!
"Of course, Karen." He said as he walked over and gripped my hand tightly. We entwined our fingers without saying anything.
"Could you roll up your t-shirt for me please?" Doctor Cartman asked.
"Yeah, okay." I replied rolling up my t-shirt, leaving my abdomen on full display.
"Right let's see if we have a mini-Karen on the way." She said with a chuckle.
She examined my belly(which had gone a weird curvy shape.)
Next thing I knew, I felt something metallic and cold on my lower stomach. Whatever it was, it was bloody cold. I glanced down to see Doctor Cartman gilding over my belly with a stethoscope.
"hmmm…"
Matt's grip on my hand tightened as he said;
"What? Doctor what's the matter?"
