Chapter Three
I woke up again to the sound of my alarm clock, Noah was still asleep, but I was really happy. I was going to see my baby today, we'd had one ultrasound, but there wasn't much to look at then, because it was quite early on in the pregnancy. But now it was a baby. I got into the shower and was happy that there wasn't any morning sickness today, although it was still possible. I got a shower and then walked out, Noah had obviously just woken up and he smiled at me.
"Good Morning Noah," I said kissing his lips.
"Morning babe," he said. "Okay, I'm going to get a shower we need to be at the hospital for half eight, and I know you take forever to pick an outfit,"
"I do not," I said swatting his arm playfully. "I already know what I am wearing today, I have some black leggings and a long top," I decided to get dressed now after putting my make up on for the day, I made sure I put waterproof mascara on though.
I walked into Darcy's room and woke her up; she smiled and asked to wear green today. So I found out a pair of white jeans, and a green T-shirt, and a pair of white and green converse. She looked wonderful as always. "What are we doing today," she asked as I prepared her breakfast.
"Well, you are coming to hospital with me and daddy," I said.
"Are you sick," she said, frowning.
"No," I said. "Mommy, is going to have a baby, and you my precious are going to have a baby brother or sister,"
"Are we getting it today," she said smiling; she really was bright for her age.
"No, today we are going to check up on it to see if it's healthy," I said. "And then you are coming to school with me and daddy,"
"Yey," she said. "I like your school, oh and I want a brother,"
"Really," I said. "Why would you like a brother,"
"Because I can play sports with him and daddy, and we can beat daddy together," she said. I couldn't help but laugh at her she was so much like her dad it was untrue.
"I don't think you could beat me," said Noah, walking in.
"We will," she said. "And you will have to bow down to us, because we will rule the world together,"
"Okay, come on," I said laughing with Noah. "Let's get going,"
We got into the truck, and headed off towards the hospital. Noah checked us in as I sat with Darcy I got a book out of her bag and began to read to her, ignoring the stares, you see the people in Lima knew about us, but this hospital catered for areas beyond Lima so they didn't know us. "Take a picture it lasts longer," said Noah. People were a little more discreet after that.
"Rachel Berry," said the nurse. "Come on through Dr Green is ready to see you now,"
"Thank god," Noah muttered.
"Hello how're my favourite parents," said Dr Green, "And you've brought Darcy, my she has grown into a beautiful young girl," Darcy grinned at this. "So how have you been Rachel,"
"I've been good, my morning sickness is dying down now," I said.
"Well that's good to hear, so no health issues," she said.
"None that I'm aware of," I said. "I feel as fit as a fiddle,"
"Okay well then, if you get onto the bed here we can get started," she said. "Have you brought a blank DVD, to record it on,"
Noah nodded and handed it to her. "So Rachel if you lift your top up and lower leggings just slightly that would be wonderful," I did as I was told.
"Now remember this may be a little cold," she said. I felt the gel go onto my belly and shivered slightly and then heard the sound I'd been waiting for. The heart beat was very strong, I felt my eyes well up as soon as I heard it. I looked at the screen and there it was our baby. Noah gripped my hand and I saw him with tears too.
"Is that the baby," said Darcy.
"Yes," I said.
"When do we get to see it," she said. "And is it a boy,"
"You'll get to meet it in March," I said, "So that's just over six months away,"
"I'll put it on your calendar when we get home later," said Noah.
"You are such an amazing family," said Dr Green. "Okay, well that is pretty much it for today, you will be able to find out the sex at the next scan when you'll be twenty weeks, so that will be 23rd October, is that okay,"
Noah handed me my diary and it was fine, it was a Friday afternoon, I was sure Figgins would allow us. "That will be fine," I said.
"If you have any problems in between call me, or if it's anything serious come straight in," she said. "I'll see you soon, take care," I shook her hand and then we were on our way. The DVD was in my bag and I planned to show it to our friends later. I was really happy, our baby was healthy and growing well. I went to the bathroom quickly and found that my make up was still intact, well I did have to put some blusher on to hide the tear tracks but that was all.
I kissed Noah, and the two of us walked with Darcy to the truck, I was glad that we would be having Spanish when we got to school, Will and Emma knew, but now we had to tell the rest of the teachers, students could find out on their own, but our teachers would need to know. So once we got to school, we went and spoke with Mr Figgins, but the governors were there also and looked at us like dirt...
