We are at the hospital within the maternity section and mentally I thank Jay for not bringing me to the one in town. The one where I had my post miscarriage op.

"Jay, Hi" Dr Forester says with a grin across his lips.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURyofTlsLL
"Taylor, I believe this is an antenatal appointment. Congratulations to you both" he smiles again.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBSjhRCEDS
I feel Jays hand softly squeeze my own and we sit down on the chairs by the doctors desk.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBxWHgIgvL
"So I will be doing a few checks and tests but don't worry. Nothing too serious" Dr Forester says.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gkfyWJJPr
We both nod.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY99g86UCfl
"So when did you do a test" the Dr enquires
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSlwA1Wlp4
"Yesterday" I reply trying to piece together the events of the last few days.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GY0Jte9or
"Okay perfect, and when did you last have a bleed" he asks delicately.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOSOWsyPVj
"That's the thing I'm not sure" I say embarrassed. Women should know their cycle. Since the miscarriage I haven't cared.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigNWPHinf
"Okay not a problem. It's just so that I can get an idea of how long you have been pregnant" he comments.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojavGxs37W
"Would you like to have a scan" he asks us.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3q73Sm9CR
"Yes" I reply straight away. I look toward Jay and he is smiling.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rh6fD7OxD
Dr Forester indicates that I take a seat on the bed and then I lay down with my shirt rolled up exposing my waist.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUpu3cZaii
"This will be cold" he laughs a little as he prepares to put some of the jelly on me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI9aU8Xdet
He then turns the machine on and prepares to scan my womb.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9qjY8Nzw
A dark image is available to view on the monitor and myself and Jay peer into it intently hoping to catch a glimpse of our baby.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0SnInyN5E
"There we are" Dr Forester says after some time.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzBTtKOu4Q
I hadn't realised I had been holding my breath.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZjveyg8wZ
So small, tiny in fact. I see the babies little head and can't help but to cry. Please I beg myself to protect this one at all costs. I glance up at Jay and he is in tears.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG3Nk3Mby4
"That's your little baby" Dr Forester says.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvQpmzCFNi
"Taylor from what I can see you are further along than perhaps you had already thought. You're around 6 weeks. Would you like to hear the heartbeat" he asks us.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ERgXuf79
"Yes" both myself and Jay say together.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSZZHIyLzv
The doctor then proceeds to fumble around with the machine, I feel Jays arms around me, look up at him and he kisses me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ITHTbjr3
"The heartbeat is always a little quick" Dr Forester says.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQ2l4YKUY
"But everything appears to be progressing well" he says smiling.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MT8gioDC
"Scan pictures will be available to be printed for you from reception, congratulations" Dr Forester says taking a lingering look at Jay.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUmPyRrUkz
"It is important that I give you these leaflets, assign you a midwife and schedule your next check up" he then tells us as I am standing from the small bed.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbjiQlTQ7Y
"Of course" Jay says all business again. Forester looks at him and smiles.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBP6ArZm1t
"Vitamins are a good bet and a good healthy diet. Exercise at this stage is totally fine so nothing to worry about you may be getting tired easily though so take rests when you need them" forester says to me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GUexoBI4y
"Thank you" I say without even thinking and he smiles.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FEd0fn76f
"Next appointment will be in four weeks" Forester replies arming us with leaflets, a prescription and a code for our printouts.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvKsdsL3ME
We leave elated, Jay's arm around my shoulder and head to the desk. The receptionist smiles and hands us an envelope with the scan in it and a checkup card, plus a whole bunch of numbers to call in the event of an emergency. I try not to let my mind linger on that part.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg8uPe0fk7
When we're back in the car, the Audi. Jay insisted he bring his new Audi out for the occasion, I rolled my eyes but cannot deny it is sheer luxury. The seats are so comfortable.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO75c0aAN1
I place my hand on his thigh hoping he's not gone into shock.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdJ2nI6QZr
"I love you" I say simply.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48gIOhVr8P
"Taylor" he begins.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXar5vBsfKF
"I love you more than... I can't even come up with anything that comes close. I'm speechless. Just be prepared for me to be even more protective than normal" he chuckles looks over at me and his hands stroke my tummy.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHhCuV5shh
"We will be fine" I say laughing.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW9SMe2wiI
"Now get us home" I ask.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ4q3o0paA
"I'm starving" I tell him and looking up into his eyes I see that look. Absolute devotion, the look of a man that can and will give you everything.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEH28SyvZ
He starts the car.
"Okay but I'm cooking" he smiles pulling out of the car park.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihcnct72tP
"What would you like the most" he says.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwTar6oo8r
"I would love a roast with cheesy cauliflower, randomly" I say and laugh.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHzREB8SM6
"Okay can do" he laughs.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtOw182W30
We pull into the lake house and thankfully the events that we ran away from, the break in and the assault feel far away.
With this news and excitement I can't help but to focus on that instead.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfpc7SqSAE
As we enter though the front door we notice a fancy envelope on our door mat which has been posted and a whole load of messages on the answer machine.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZCrqINff
"House is ours" Jay says elated
"Officially" he remarks after tearing open the envelope. He is not a waiter. He prefers knowing things instantly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVPyZAggCC
He hands me the fancy envelope which has a covering letter from the agent instructing us that the deed has been drawn up and that we are able to move in whenever is convenient for us. We are to contact them and they will personally deliver the deed and keys to us.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob5KmxQRZm
"This is meant to be Jay" I say looking up to meet his glorious blue eyes.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4qBhy6GbY
"We are meant to be Taylor" he smiles.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7xFWgEUnd
"Now for that roast dinner" he smiles settling me on the sofa.
"Rest, I've got this" he instructs me.
