" Ms. Callaghan." I have your results back. You are definitely pregnant. Now, If this isn't what you want, we can always think of terminating the pregnancy. I would now like to do an ultrasound to see if everything looks okay." The doctor informed. Jules was silent with her head down. "Now, How long ago do you think it was when the baby was conceived?" the doctor asked. "About 3 or 4 days." Jules replied quietly.
"Okay, then we probably wont see any heartbeat, but we can check for that later."
"Ill go ahead back out then." Said Sam as he turned towards the door.
"Sam!" Jules exclaimed. "Please stay! Please!" Sam then turned around and sat in the chair beside the examination table Jules was sitting up on. As she layed down, Sam took her hand and placed it on his lips. She looked over at him. As the doctor did the ultrasound, he stroked his hand along her arm, reassuring her.
The doctor then said. "The baby is still too young to see a heartbeat. But, I can see the formation though. Everything looks good! We wil have you come back in a few weeks to continue. If you decide to have it….."
Jules sat quietly not moving a muscle. Sam then said. "Thank you."
The doctor placed her file on the desk beside her and walked out.
"Can we please get out of here!" Jules said, grabbing her shirt and not witing for an answer. "Jules" We will get through this.
"Sam! I have ruined my life, and your life!" I can't let you ruin your life because of my being stupid! I'm strong enough to be a single mom! You shouldn't have to worry about this!" Jules broke down crying.
"Jules. I don't want anyone.. but you!" He stroked her brown hair through his fingers briskly. " I want to help you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be pregnant. I need to take responsibility!" You will not be a single mother."
"Well, I can't terminate the pregnancy… I just can't. It's impossible for me to do that.", Cried Jules.
"We will do this together. We have known each other for a while now. You are more than just a best friend to me, and I need that." Sam said as he caressed Jules' back.
Jules couldn't say anything else. She was in shock. It seemed to early to see, or even recognize that a life was forming, and that it was Sam's. And at the moment, she couldn't dare to think of what the team will say. She will be kicked off in a heartbeat. She couldnt and she wouldn't tell a soul for at least a few months. It was just what her instinct told her to do.
