Chapter Eleven

Brooks

Nervous didn't even begin to cover how I felt as I waited for Nolan to set up his equipment. I thought I was nervous warming up for important games. And I thought that I was freaked out before my surgeries. In fact, I would say I was even nervous every time I waited for a doctor to look at my knee. None of that was anything compared to knowing I was about to see the child growing inside me and learn whether I'd be having a son or daughter.

“Sorry we weren't able to use the ultrasound sooner,” Nolan said. “Getting on and off the island is such a hassle with the wardens now. Christ, it’s a wonder the humans don't suspect anything.”

“That's okay,” I said.

“There we are,” the doctor announced. “All set up. Comfy?”

“Yeah,” I said halfheartedly. I actually wasn't remotely comfortable on my back like this, but it was discomfort I was willing to live with to see the baby. Plus, I figured I couldn't exactly take a different position. I pulled off my shirt and settled in.

This time instead of the little battery-powered Doppler, he used a bunch of machines that he wired to his laptop. He turned on the screen and pressed a little thing to my stomach. For a moment it was nothing but gray blurs on the screen of his laptop as he moved around. It was a little uncomfortable as he prodded my stomach, trying to get into position. All at once he stopped moving. I looked up at the screen and felt my mouth go dry as I took in the undeniable silhouette of a baby.

“Oh I...” I breathed in awe. Nothing could have prepared me for actually seeing the baby. He raised and lowered his chin, and then an arm lifted and waved. A little giggle this escaped my throat.

“Our baby,” Carrick murmured, sounding just as stunned as I was.

Nolan hummed and tutted as he moved the device around and took measurements. At last his silence made me so nervous I couldn't stand it anymore.

“Is the baby okay?” I demanded.

“Oh, he's just fine,” Nolan assured me. “Everything is measuring perfectly. Here it is...” He flipped a switch and sound that I looked forward to hearing now echoed in the room. This time I could see the heart as it beat. Well, fluttered more accurately.

There was a lurch from the lower half of my baby and the heartbeat turned into a loud thud, and I actually felt him kick the device.

“Oh, you've got a feisty one,” Nolan laughed. “Soccer player maybe?”

“Hockey!” Carrick and I both snapped. We exchanged grins at our joint response.

“Can you tell the gender yet?” Carrick asked.

“Let's find out,” said Nolan. He wiggled the device around and the entire view of the baby changed. I was amazed that he was able to get such different angles just on the outside of my stomach. “Well, that looks like outdoor plumbing to me.” Nolan indicated a little spot with the cursor and added an arrow.
