Angela had booked some time off of work, she didn't want to rush around showing prospective buyers around houses all day.

Jordan couldn't do enough for her and she was starting to go a little stir crazy being in the apartment all day, it had been five days since the doctors appointment and Jordan and Angela made a conscious effort not to discuss the pregnancy until they had the scan.

Angela was curled up on the sofa reading a magazine, Jordan was working in his garage. Rickie and Rayanne had visited them a few days before and both of them found it incredibly hard not to tell them their news.

Angela had started being sick on a daily basis, all the magazines she had read had hinted that morning sickness was a sign that the pregnancy was normal, Angela had actually began to welcome the nauseating feelings that washed over her, she still worried over every twinge or ache she felt but she had managed to hide that from Jordan.

She went into their kitchen and started making them sandwiches, Jordan would be back soon for some lunch. As she was slicing the ham the phone rang and made her jump, she accidently cut her thumb on the carving knife.."Dammit" she cursed as she wrapped her finger in a tea towel. She picked up the phone..

"Hello?"

" Hello, is that Miss Chase?"

"Speaking.."

"This is Three Rivers General Hospital, Just letting you know we have an appointment for your pre-natal scan, tomorrow at 10 am, is that convenient?"

Angela closed her eyes and smiled " Sure, we'll be there, thank you"

She hung up and looked for a plaster for her finger. Jordan opened the door and walked in to see Angela dripping blood on the floor. " Ouch, that looks nasty, how did ya manage that?" he said, taking her hand in his and staring at her cut.

Angela smiled "I decided to give you a finger sandwich instead of a ham sandwich"

Jordan chuckled " Well, if it's your finger I'm sure it'll taste delicious" he kissed her on the cheek and put the plaster on her finger for her.

They both sat at the kitchen table and Jordan tucked into his lunch, as he was chewing, Angela leant over the table towards him.

"The hospital just rang, we've got our scan tomorrow morning"

Suddenly the bread in Jordan's mouth felt like rock and he had difficulty swallowing it. "wow. already?" he said.

Angela let herself smile, last time she was pregnant they never got as far as seeing the baby in a scan. "How do you feel?" she asked. "Um, excited I guess" he smiled. Inside he was more than excited , he wanted to scream out to the world that tomorrow he'd be seeing his child for the first time, but he chose to sound calm and collected when answering to Angela.

"I'm excited too" she smiled.

The following morning Angela was doing her routine throwing up into the toilet. Jordan was holding her hair back from her face and rubbing her back. "Ang, this wont last forever babe, it'll pass soon" he tired to reassure her whilst trying not to vomit himself.

Jordan drove them to the hospital and as they were sitting in the waiting room, Angela couldn't help but notice all of the expectant parents sitting together, wild excitement in their eyes. Angela wanted to feel that too but she kept telling herself that soon she would, but not yet, not until they had the all clear.

Jordan was walking around looking at all the poster of babies on the walls. He giggled at a picture of a row of babies, all with bare ass's. "Ang, Look...How cute are they?" he looked at her and Angela saw for the first time the excitement in his eyes, she saw how much he wanted this child and prayed that they'd get what they so dearly craved. A family of their own.

The doctor called Angela's name "Miss Chase..If you'd like to come through.." He gestured for Angela and Jordan to follow him and Jordan grabbed Angela's hand and squeezed it in anticipation.

They were led into a white room, Angela climbed up onto the hard bed and lifted her shirt. The doctor squeezed some gel into his hands "I must warn you Miss Chase, if the foetus is under 9 weeks you may not see much of it, I'm putting some gel on your tummy now, it may feel cold, sorry about that"

Angela looked to Jordan as the gel was placed on her stomach. Jordan was holding her hand and looking into her eyes, he stroked her hair trying to silently reassure her..

Please god let it be over the 12 weeks thought Angela. They both turned to the monitor as the doctor ran the scanning device over her belly. Then they saw tiny limbs and a tiny head, it looked like an astronaut orbiting around space. Jordan smiled, and squeezed Angela's hand tighter. "Oh my god, there's our baby" he whispered, his voice full of wonder.

The doctor pointed out all of the parts of their child " and that there fluttering away is it's heartbeat, which I'm pleased to say is extremely strong and healthy." Angela felt tears rolling down her cheeks, she could burst right there and then with pride and love for this little person inside her. Jordan placed one hand on her belly and the other hand on the monitor " hey there little guy" He whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.

The doctor tapped in some measurements on his computer and turned back to Jordan and Angela.

"Ok guy's Judging by my measurements , you're exactly 14 weeks, you are now in your second trimester, the baby is strong and healthy and you are past what we call the danger zone" he smiled at them.

Jordan looked up with tears in his eyes " So we can tell people now right? I mean, it's safe?" he was still worried that there was a chance that something could fuck up.

The doctor smiled reassuringly " Go spread the news, you guy's are going to be parents..It's safe..you're all ok"

Jordan wiped his eyes and bent down to kiss Angela, she was sobbing with relief and stroking her stomach.

"Are you okay Mommy? " He grinned at her , no longer afraid to hide his emotions.

"I'm fine Jordan" she smiled "but..." she stopped and looked at him smiling. "What? What is it honey?" he asked

"Jordan, I'm going to get fat!" she wailed half laughing.

Jordan pulled her into a hug "Angela, you'll always be beautiful no matter how big you get, don't you get it? You're carrying our baby, it's healthy and it's ours. We created this little person and we are going to be great parents , Just you wait and see"

Angela smiled at his enthusiasm " We'll have to start telling people " she smiled. Jordan helped her off of the bed and hugged her. " Baby, I'll scream it from the rooftops" he said, pulling her into a loving embrace.
