One Week Later

Brian- (Groans) "Do you have to go?"

Rochelle- Walking out of the bathroom fully dressed, I grab my keys and phone. "Yes, I have to go. Told you last night, that I couldn't miss this appointment."

Brian- "Whats this appointment for again?"

Rochelle- Every time he asked, I was able to avoid answering but now I had to answer. "You know how I said I haven't been feeling good and even have been avoiding kissing you?"

Brian- Rolling over, I lay cuddled against my pillow better. "Ya?!" I have noticed, she's been more distant."

Rochelle- "Well, I want to make sure I didn't catch the flu or something so I got an appointment to get checked out. I mean we were just out of the country multiple times recently."

Brian- I think about that logically. "Right, let me know how it goes?"

Rochelle- (Smiles Tightly) "Of course babe." I give a quick kiss and leave.

Planned Parenthood

Casey- I promised to meet Rochelle here.

Rochelle- Arriving twenty minutes before my scheduled appointment time, I find Casey in his car. (Knocks on the Window)

Casey- I just about jump out of my skin, getting out I lock up the car and take her hand. "Ready?"

Rochelle- I shake my head. "No."

Casey- We head on in.

Rochelle- After signing in, I take the clip board and begin filling out the paperwork.

Casey- Once she is finished, I take it back up to the receptionist. "Everything is gonna be just fine."

Rochelle- (Nods)

Fifteen Minutes Later

Brittney- Clip board in hand, I go out to the waiting room. "Rochelle Montoya?"

Rochelle- I get up followed by Casey.

Brittney- Bringing them into the back, I get the young woman's weight, height and vitals. (Smiles Brightly) "Right this way." I lead them down two halls into examination room six. "The doctor will be in with you shortly." After logging all her information into the computer I leave.

Casey- I sit in a chair, watching Rochelle.

Rochelle- I bite at my nails, nervously.

Heather- (Knocks) I walk in. "Afternoon, I'm Dr. Heather Freeman."

Rochelle and Casey- "Hello."

Heather- "I hear you believe your pregnant."

Rochelle- (Nods)

Heather- "Well, sometimes home pregnancy tests are inaccurate which is why I sent you for blood work before coming in. I would like to say congratulations, you are indeed pregnant. Now if you'll lay back and pull your shirt up as well as undo your jeans, we can find out how far along and possibly the gender today."

Rochelle- Laying back I pull up my shirt and undo my jeans.

Heather- I walk over beside the examination table and pull over the machine. "Alright let's see here..." after logging in all her information, I put some gel into her swollen belly, then rub the wand along it. "Well...I'll be."

Casey- I walk over, peaking at the screen. "What? Is everything okay?"

Heather- "She's a lot further along than I expected. Five months to be exact and you're having a girl."

Casey- I look from Rochelle too the doctor in shock. "Five months? She barely looks three months."

Heather- "She is five months pregnant with a healthy baby growing inside her."

Rochelle- (Cries)

Heather- I print out some sonogram images, handing them to the mother-to-be. "I want to see you every two weeks and I estimate your due date to be about early August."  After that I leave, giving them some privacy.

Casey- I help to clean the gel off, then she fixes her clothes. "You okay?"

Rochelle- (Sniffles) "Honestly Casey...I don't know."
