Chapter5

It was a relief for Daniel to get away from Brooke's constant complaining and demands for a while, in order to accompany Carla to her first sonogram. He hadn't told his girlfriend about the pregnancy because he knew that she would blow up over it and Daniel was in too much of a panic over the situation already, to deal with her having a fit of rage.

Instead, he just continued with her as though nothing had happened and was grateful for once to have a distant girlfriend as it meant that she didn't notice his agitation or question his absences.

Daniel met Carla at the doctor's office and she smiled shyly at him. She wasn't yet showing, but Daniel was sure that she appeared to be glowing more than before. He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and guided her into the clinic with an arm around her shoulder.

"Are you nervous?" Carla asked him anxiously. "I'm nervous."

It was twelve weeks since the wedding and for Carla, the pregnancy still hadn't quite sunk in. She felt like she was living in some strange dream, even more so when Daniel put his arm around her. The lawyer was always so calm and collected as though nothing fazed him. Carla wished for some break in his professional manner and something more emotional to show. He reached out for her hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.

"There's nothing to worry about,” he told her with a warm smile. "This is only a sonogram."

"To check if everything's OK." Carla added with wide eyes. "What will we do if there's a medical issue?

He stopped short for a moment at her comment and then shook his head. "Let's just hope for one healthy baby." Daniel said with a calming smile.

They entered the examining room and Carla laid on the table and lifted her top to show her slender stomach. The consultant covered her belly in a fine layer of cold gel, prepared the machine, and then began to run the wand over Carla's middle. Carla gasped at the coolness of the gel and reached for Daniel's hand from nerves.

Daniel took hold of it and felt once again that rare shyness that came over him when a woman was sharing genuine emotion with him. He turned his attention to the consultant instead, to shake the uncomfortable feeling of timidity.

"How is everything?" he asked.

"Just a moment..." the consultant murmured. She captured a few screenshots of the image and then smiled reassuringly. "Everything is fine," she told them. "You have one healthy baby in there. It will be a while before we can tell you the gender, but I can confirm the date of conception and give you a due date of the fifteenth of May."

"The fifteenth of May!" Carla gasped. "Daniel, did you hear that?"

"I heard," he said in a whisper.

Carla was disappointed that there was not more awe or emotion in Daniel's voice, but she didn't know that beneath his calm veneer, a strange feeling of longing was beginning to stir.
