Tess sighs taking a seat beside Nick as a doctor finally enters the room "Ah hello, Miss McLeod, I'm "
Tess smiles shaking the hand that was placed out for her "Ah yeah thats me and this is Nick my partner."
The doctor nods shaking Nicks hand "Well what brings you here?"
Tess bites at her lip as the colour drains from her face she swallows a had lump tighting her grip on Nicks hand turning it a shade of red she sighs as a million butterflies of nerves flip through her stomach she couldn't get anything out as she opened her mouth not a single word flowed.
Nick smirks "Tess is pregnant."
The Doctor nods "I see."
Tess nods glancing from the window she was starring out of back to the doctor as it was out another person knew, someone she knew nothing about except his name and the fact he had a doctors degree, well she hoped.
He smiles "Well I can see this wasn't planned as the colour drained from your face, you both know there are many options?"
Tess nods "Ah yep and we would like to keep our baby."
The doctor nods "Well I can organise an ultra sound and your next appointment?."
Tess nods "Ah please."
The Doctor smiles "Well you can follow on down the hall take your first left and you will find the maternity area, I will send a note up letting them know they are to do an ultra sound."
Tess smiles taking the piece of paper containing her details as they rise from their seats "And i'll see you in four weeks time Miss McLeod."
They both nod shaking the Doctors hand before leaving the room to head down the hall.
Nick smiles "You ok."
Tess nods as they enter the Maternity area "Ah yeah, you?"
Nick nods as they approach the reception desk "Yeah."
Tess nods with a small smirk as she explained to the receptionist what she had discussed with , the receptionist nods "Well if you could just take a seat, and don't be heading off to the toilet, as your bladder has to be full."
Tess nods thanking the receptionist as her and Nick take a seat "Would you like a cup of water?'
Tess smiles "Yes please."
He nods rushing off for her water.
Tess sighs tapping her foot on the cold lino floor as Nick takes her hand "Did you want your cup re-filled?"
Tess glares at him "Nick I think my bladders full."
He nods "Yeah sorry."
Tess bites at her lip but soon lets out a sigh of relief as her name was called she smiles as they follow the nurse down the hall way to a small room containing an ultra sound monitor the nurse smirks "If you could just get comfortable I'll be right back."
Tess nods placing herself on the bed as the nurse exits the room she smiles at Nick as he places himself beside her in the old plastic chair she lets out a small giggle as he lifts her white cotton shirt to display her small plumpy belly "Hey pudge, I'm your Daddy."
Tess gives a small jump as he places his cold pale hand over her belly "That's cold."
He smiles "Its real Tess."
Tess nods "I know and you'll make the best Dad."
Nick smiles "It still hasn't sunken in, being called Dad."
Tess smiles as the nurse returns "Ok Miss McLeod, are you ready?"
Tess nods as the nurse takes a bottle of jell "Now Tess this will be a little cold.'
Tess nods as Nick removes his hand for the nurse to poor a small amount on her belly Tess lets out a small sigh as the nurse takes the monitor into her hand "Now I'm just going to place this on your belly with a bit of pressure."
Tess nods glancing at the screen as her baby pops up she smiles glancing at Nick as their little baby swam around in her stomach "That's our baby."
Nick nods with a smile "They don't keep still."
Tess smiles turning back to the screen "Ah how far?"
The nurse smirks "I would say about 12 weeks."
Tess nods not knowing how she missed it "Oh right, hello my little one."
Nick smiles "So is there only one in there."
The nurse nods "Sure is."
Tess sighs "Can we get photos?"
The nurse smirks "Yes of course, it's a bit early to tell but are you going to find out the gender."
Tess and Nick give each other a small glance "Ah, we haven't really discussed it yet."
The nurse nods wiping off the gel as she shut down the monitor "Well I'll just go get your photos if you can wait here."
Tess nods tugging on her shirt before sitting up on the bed Nick smiles sliding onto to the bed next to her "it's happening."
Tess nods as he places a kiss on her cheek "I know, before I thought it was just a big mess, I know being pregnant at 17 was never in my life plan, but this baby is one of the most beautiful things that has ever happened to me, as they are both a part of you and me, to know I'm having this baby with someone I love so much who will support me through anything is the most incredible thing I have ever felt."
Nick smiles "I hope we have a girl, so I can have two of you."
Tess smiles "But let's hope history doesn't repeat itself."
Nick nods "To right."
Tess smiles as the nurse returns with their pictures "Thank you."
The nurse smiles "Your welcome, and we'll be seeing you again in four weeks."
Tess nods as both her and Nick leave the room.
