Hello everyone! After about a month without an update, I decided to share this chapter. It's a little short but I think you will like. And I added some things in brackets (because there are some french discussions in there so I translated it for you :D)

Enjoy this chapter, and sorry for this short one!


Three weeks later...


Matt's POV

I was anxious. Today, Gabby and I had to go to Chicago Med to do the second ultrasound. I was very nervous about this. It will be the first time I'll see this little buddy. During a month, I tried to let Gabby around me, let her touch me without panicking. And I tried to touch her as well. I knew it will be difficult for us, but she always said we'll figure this out and get through this hell. And I was glad about it. I could see I was trembling on the chair, sitting next to the woman I loved. She gently and carefully placed her hand on mine.

"Hey. This is going to be fine. I'm sure".

"I... I don't know this... Doctor Alerson?"

"Oh, don't worry. I saw her only once, but I think she's good. And funny. And from Belgium".

"Ah... And the fact she is Belgian changes everything?"

"Yeah! I speak French, and I remember you too. She'll be glad if we speak in her language with her. Don't you agree?"

"Uh, Gabby? I'm not really good in French, you know. I wasn't a good pupil at school".

"Then... I will translate what she'll say if you don't understand".

She smiled and I returned her smile.

"Mrs. Dawson?"

We startled and she turned to this voice.

"yeah".

She turned toward me and smile again.

"It's our time Matt".

I nodded and stood up, her hand on mine and we went to the doctor's office. She signed us to sit on the chairs as she sat on hers.

"Good Morning, how are you doing today?"

"Well... Still sick the morning but other than that I'm good thanks".

She was looking at me with insistance. I wasn't really good at all about this. I felt Gabby grab my wrist and signed to me to turn my head to her. I did.

"Don't worry okay? She just doesn't know you".

I knew that. But her look... I didn't like that.

"It's because you're looking at him with this stare doc. He doesn't feel well with this".

"Oh, sorry. I didn't want you to feel bad".

I closed my eyes and turned my head to the doctor, then opened them again.

"No, it's okay".

"So I presume you're the dad this time?"

I completely forgot this: Kelly was with Gabby to the first appointment.

"Yes. I'm the dad".

The doctor smiled as Gabby was continuing to have a hand on mine.

"So, there have been problems during this month?"

"No, apart the morning sickness I'm good. Sometimes I feel... Weird but I think it's okay".

"Weird? As?"

"Uh... As if I have butterflies on my stomach, and couple times I'm out of... Strength or myself. I'm angry for nothing... You know".

"Ah... Yeah. Hormones. It's normal don't worry. But today, as I said the last time I will do some tests and see if buddy is okay".

Gabby stood up, released my hand and laid down on a bed. She turned her head and smiled.

"You can come in you know".

I nodded and stood up to join her. She lifted her shirt and lowered her pants so the doctor could put some gel on her belly. She placed the probe and waited to find buddy.

"Alors comme ça vous êtes Belge?" (So you're Belgian?)

Doctor Alerson turned to Gabby.

"Oh mon Dieu! Vous parlez français?!" (Oh my God! You're speaking french?!)

"J'ai appris à l'école oui. Et je suis restée une année au Québec". (I learned at school yeah. And I stayed a year in Quebec)

"Vous ne pouvez pas savoir comme je suis contente d'apprendre ça! Mais comment vous avez su que..." (You don't know how I'm happy to hear that! But how did you know that...)

"Sonia me l'a dit quand elle a su que vous étiez mon médecin". (Sonia told me when she knew you'll be my OBGYN)

"And you? Matt, is that right?"

I startled and turned my face to her.

"Uh, yeah. That's right. What did you say?"

"I asked if you can also speak french".

"Uh, just a little. I wasn't good at school".

"I see. So I will do this appointment in english".

"No, no that's okay. I can't speak but I can understand what you're saying, don't worry".

"Oh... Okay then".

She focused on the screen to find buddy. And suddenly, a sound came on our ears, invaded the space. And then, I felt myself crying.

"Matt? You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah..."

I wiped my tears with my free hand and tightened the other. I was hypnotised by the image on the screen.

"Hey there buddy! You grew up!" the doctor said.


Gabby's POV

Matt was elsewhere, looking at the screen, hearing buddy's heartbeat.

"Alors, le petit bout a dix semaines, et sa taille est... Plutôt bonne, peut-être un petit peu grand mais rien d'alarmant". (So buddy is ten weeks, his size is... Pretty good, maybe a little tall, but nothing too alarming)

Doctor Alerson frowned a little and moved the probe lower in my belly.

"Qu'est-ce qu'il y a docteur?", I asked concerned. (What is it doc?)

"Je... Je voudrais être sure de quelque chose". (I... I want to be sure about something)

"Et euh... À propos de quoi?" (And uh... About what?)

"Juste... Laissez-moi faire cela et je vous dirai ensuite d'accord?" (Just... Let me do this and I will tell you okay?)

I was worry. She was worrying me. On the other hand, Matt was still focused on the screen, trying to figure this all thing out.

"Très bien, donc je vais faire des tests complémentaires aujourd'hui. Je pense que le placenta n'est pas bien placé. Il est assez bas dans votre utérus. Comme je le disais, je vais faire les tests d'usage et des tests complémentaires pour déterminer le risque". (Okay, so I will do some more tests during the appointment. I think the placenta isn't in the right place. It's low in your uterus. As I said I will do some other tests to determine the risk)

"Il y a des risques?" (There are risks?)

"Chaque grossesse comporte des risques. Vous m'avez dit la dernière fois que dans votre famille vous avez des problèmes avec les grossesses. D'où les test complémentaires. On va trouver un moyen de vous aider à passer une grossesse sereine". (Each pregnancy has its risks. But you told me the last time that in your family you have problems with pregnancies. It's just usual and complemental tests okay? We'll try to find a way to help your pregnancy to get well)

Matt and I were anxious, very anxious. But it will be okay, we'll figure this out. I was sure about this.
