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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkwHSJI5K5
"Taylor, I believe this is an antenatal appointment. Congratulations to you both" he smiles again.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Wfj91hLM
I feel Jays hand softly squeeze my own and we sit down on the chairs by the doctors desk.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylWgj9Psz9
"So I will be doing a few checks and tests but don't worry. Nothing too serious" Dr Forester says.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtItDMBQFBR
We both nod.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL5ag3AJ0L
"So when did you do a test" the Dr enquires
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv2S9qffgL
"Yesterday" I reply trying to piece together the events of the last few days.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVWngF4n6e
"Okay perfect, and when did you last have a bleed" he asks delicately.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLESw9KMRU
"That's the thing I'm not sure" I say embarrassed. Women should know their cycle. Since the miscarriage I haven't cared.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA63ddkykno
"Okay not a problem. It's just so that I can get an idea of how long you have been pregnant" he comments.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4wzrLJHtW
"Would you like to have a scan" he asks us.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb91wtxfKH
"Yes" I reply straight away. I look toward Jay and he is smiling.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhUfhLj09
Dr Forester indicates that I take a seat on the bed and then I lay down with my shirt rolled up exposing my waist.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7EfZGjdz
"This will be cold" he laughs a little as he prepares to put some of the jelly on me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRrnxNSMp7
He then turns the machine on and prepares to scan my womb.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlSJoAZg7w
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCPnL6ezlr
"There we are" Dr Forester says after some time.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwoVvZ8uFu
I hadn't realised I had been holding my breath.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RF3MxL4Bk
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ3GBnv1St
"That's your little baby" Dr Forester says.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQVsbfM0l
"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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90NCZ88aNE
"Yes" both myself and Jay say together.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeUT3c2FeX
The doctor then proceeds to fumble around with the machine, I feel Jays arms around me, look up at him and he kisses me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn1H6KmNIQ
"The heartbeat is always a little quick" Dr Forester says.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04y86FcTu8
"But everything appears to be progressing well" he says smiling.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUd09Hkubu
"Scan pictures will be available to be printed for you from reception, congratulations" Dr Forester says taking a lingering look at Jay.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KFiS8Z35q
"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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbzp0u0Iyz
"Of course" Jay says all business again. Forester looks at him and smiles.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgHr3VdqAo
"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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY081udRxnK
"Thank you" I say without even thinking and he smiles.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJxD0XumWn
"Next appointment will be in four weeks" Forester replies arming us with leaflets, a prescription and a code for our printouts.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG5Y8lyBIr
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oLM6ecaKd
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaAyi1fL7p
I place my hand on his thigh hoping he's not gone into shock.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQoqbC81hf
"I love you" I say simply.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXBBcVNZzR
"Taylor" he begins.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDglC0b9JH
"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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhISPBxA93a
"We will be fine" I say laughing.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3YWT69ek8
"Now get us home" I ask.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOiu7mcYQG
"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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rRvr1QOzL
He starts the car.
"Okay but I'm cooking" he smiles pulling out of the car park.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOOg53ES26
"What would you like the most" he says.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NUTUMvb2e
"I would love a roast with cheesy cauliflower, randomly" I say and laugh.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkX9XG7P2
"Okay can do" he laughs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusAjWBrxa8
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3LJCgP9vo
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUoebr8v88
"House is ours" Jay says elated
"Officially" he remarks after tearing open the envelope. He is not a waiter. He prefers knowing things instantly.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8DJlxdxdF
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZlXsmPrm
"This is meant to be Jay" I say looking up to meet his glorious blue eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRyZ0ogO0Q
"We are meant to be Taylor" he smiles.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0RTgkwXTK
"Now for that roast dinner" he smiles settling me on the sofa.
"Rest, I've got this" he instructs me.
