"And that makes you nervous? I'm excited," Ashley laughed lightly. "Plus, we're not really going to see much. The baby is still only tiny, barely even visible, I think."

“But it’s still our baby,” Lucas repeated, grabbing the car keys. “Whether it’s big or small or visible or invisible. We’re going to see it for the first time. C’mon, let’s go!”

Ashley giggled a little and followed him out the door. "I'm coming, I'm coming! Geez, babe."

Lucas tapped his finger against his leg impatiently, waiting for Ashley’s name to be called.

Once it did, they both stood up and followed the nurse.

As they walked into the room, the nurse was explaining what they would be doing. "So, you're eleven weeks along, correct?"

Ashley nodded, and the nurse continued, "Okay, so today we'll be listening for the heartbeat or heartbeats, but we won't be able to see the baby or babies yet. We can show you what we can see of them so far if you're interested."

Heartbeat, Lucas thought excitedly. He was going to hear their heartbeat for the first time!

“Were interested,” Lucas finally responded, trying to control his excitement.

Ashley grinned over at her boyfriend, amused by how excited he was. She was excited, too, of course, but she wasn’t showing it as much as he was. There were still thoughts running in her mind that worried her, so they calmed her a little.

The nurse hooked the machine up and had the expectant mother lay down on the bed thing. She had Ashley pull her shirt up to expose her belly, which hadn’t started to show yet, and the nurse then applied some cold gel to her skin. As soon as everything was ready, she set the device on Ashley’s belly, and a small heartbeat could be heard alongside Ashley’s bigger heartbeat.

Lucas almost teared up the second he heard a small heartbeat—his child’s heartbeat.

It was soft and small, but he could hear it. He’d never been so excited before in his entire life—he almost felt like a child again.

“Did you hear that, Ash?” He asked, unable to sit still.

Ashley grinned and glanced over at him, reaching her hand out for him. “I did. I heard it, babe. It’s beautiful,” she said softly.

Lucas took her hand, squeezing gently.

“Isn’t it?” He whispered. “I can’t wait to have the baby.”

“You won’t be the one having it, though,” Ashley giggled, squeezing his hand as the nurse moved the thing on her belly so they could see the baby. “I will, and I’ll be the one going through all the pain.”

Lucas frowned at his girlfriend.

“Ah, I wish I could do something about the pain…” he murmured, but mostly to himself, but the second he caught sight of the little baby in Ashley’s belly, he froze. “It’s like a peanut…”

Ashley turned her attention to the screen, and her whole face immediately softened st the sight of the small blip on the screen. That was her baby… The baby she was carrying from her boyfriend…

“Babe… Lucas, that’s our baby,” she breathed, in awe of the new life inside of her.

(🤣🤣🤣)

Lucas felt like his whole world stopped at that moment. He was seeing their baby for the first time. The baby his girlfriend would breathe life into, the baby she would bring into the world so he could give it all of his love.

Lucas turned his attention towards Ashley and reached over to press his lips on her forehead, overjoyed.

Ashley grinned and reached up to cup his cheeks in her hands. She pulled him down to connect their lips in a long, soft kiss.

“I love you,” she whispered after pulling away.

“I love you, too,” Lucas whispered back, his eyes moving back to the screen to watch their child. “Can we guess the gender yet?”

The nurse chuckled softly at the young couple before shaking her head. “You could guess it, but you won’t be able to tell for a few more months. Sorry.”

“That’s okay. We don’t need to know yet, anyway. I’m happy just knowing that it’s there,” Ashley said softly, returning her own gaze to the screen.

“That’s true,” Lucas murmured. “We can wait, as hard that’ll be. Thank you, though, Nurse.”

(Skip?
not it)

(sigh Okay.
To when?)
