Chapter 13

Avery

“Do you want me to go back with you, or would you rather I stay out here in the waiting room?” Claire asks me as we enter the waiting room of my new doctor of maternal fetal medicine. The hospital automatically assigned this doctor to me since they specialize in high risk pregnancies. Once I called my gynecologist about it and got a resounding review of this office, I felt much better about coming here.

“You’re definitely coming with me. I mean, if that’s okay. I don’t want to make you feel all weirded out. I have no idea what this appointment will be like.”

“Of course, I’ll do it, girl. I’m not going to let you go through all of this by yourself. Nobody should have to do that.”

I cock my head and sarcastically ask, “Are you gonna help me raise this kid too? Better know what you’re signing up for.”

Claire smiles. “You know I will if it comes to that, but I have faith that things are going to work out for you and Parker so let’s just cross that bridge if and when we get there, okay? Let’s just get you through this appointment first.”

“Yeah, okay. Good idea,” I say, releasing a huge breath. It’s only been two days since I was brought home from the hospital. I’m still bleeding, though nowhere near as intensely as I did a few days ago. I have so many questions and concerns now that I’m here.

“Ms. Gibbs,” a nurse calls from the open door on the other side of the waiting room.

“Yes,” I stand up with Claire by my side and follow the nurse down to the exam room. She takes my initial vitals and does a quick urine analysis (according to the internet this is something that will happen pretty much every time I have an appointment) and explains that the doc will do an ultrasound and then will answer any of my questions. I thank her and wait patiently for the doc to arrive.

And by patiently, I mean I’m a nervous fucking wreck.

Claire rubs my arm softly. “Don’t worry. It’s going to be fine. You’re not alone.”

A knock on the door is followed by, “Ms. Gibbs? I’m Doctor Garrett.”

A man? Ugh. Why does this have to be so awkward?

“Hello.”

“So, I see from your charts that we’re dealing with a subchorionic hemorrhage, is that correct?”

“Yes,” I confirm.

“Are you still bleeding, or has it stopped?”

“It has not stopped but isn’t nearly as bad as it was.”

“Ok, is this your first pregnancy?”

“Yes.”

“And how far along are you?”

Tears well up in my eyes at how extremely stupid I know I’m about to sound. “I have absolutely no idea.”

Dr. Garrett smiles comfortingly. “It’s ok. We’ll have a look and see what we can figure out. And who do we have with you today?”

“My name is Claire, sir.” Claire reaches out to shake the doctor’s hand. “I’m a friend of Avery’s.”

“Ah, it’s nice to meet you Claire. I always ask because I never want to assume,” he says.
