Reaching Dr

Reaching Dr. Ashley's office, I was starting to feel much better after the little event at the office.

Laying on the bed at the doctors office, we finally see Dr. Ashley come in.

"My two favourite people! How are you both!?" he asks as he gives Ace and I both a hug

"Ashley, it's good to see you" Ace says and I smile at him

"How have you been feeling Alex?" Dr. Ashley asks

"I-I've been hanging in there" I say

We tell him about the recent episode that had just happened at the office and how I've been feeling weaker these past few days. He says it is normal since I'm not taking or doing any treatments, he had told us before that this was to be expected and we both knew that.

"Well lets see how my most favourite little person is doing" Dr. Ashley says walking over to the ultrasound machine

I pull up my top revealing my growing stomach

He applies the cool gel which sends a slight shiver throughout my body

"Have you stopped working?" Dr. Ashley asks

"She hasn't, and she won't listen to the thought of staying home" Ace says immediately

"I could answer for myself" I say squinting my eyes at him

But he ignores me and looks at Dr. Ashley

"Alex, I know how much you love going to work and it's good to be active however, you are growing weaker and will continue to grow weaker in the coming weeks. I strongly recommend you take it easy and going to work will continue to cause you stress. Not just to you, but to the baby as well. The reason for your sudden stomach pain and the baby kicking was due to the stress your body was going though, emotionally and physically with the continuous coughing. I really need you stay home from now on, for both you and the baby" he says

"Good luck with that-" Ace tries to finish saying but I interrupt him

"okay."

"okay?" they both say together in shock, as if they weren't expecting me to say that

"Okay... yes, I'll stay home starting tomorrow" I say

I couldn't afford to put anymore stress onto the baby and if that meant staying home, then yes, I will stay home. It would also give me the time to focus on the projects I had on mind that I was preparing for the baby that I was working on at work today.

"If I knew it would have been this easy, I would have brought you here a long time ago" Ace says

Dr. Ashley then point to the monitor

"There she is" he says pointing to the screen

Our baby girl

Listening to the heart beat, we both feel tears pool around our eyes. Squeezing Ace's hand, we both can't pry our eyes off of the screen
