to take over again as I think of how he’ll react. How everyone will react and what will happen at school. I just don’t know if I can handle this. I’m not even seventeen yet. In this very moment I am glad Grams is not her to witness to this, then I start to freak a little more remembering that Grams and my parents probably already know. What they must think off me, I can’t believe how I am going to be letting everyone down. It was our first time; it was supposed to be special. I mean it was special, but a baby…Oh God!
Chapter Eleven
Conformation
As soon as we wake up, Constance informs the others that she needs Sophia and me to help with something. We easily sneak off to the hospital, where she can perform the ultra sound. Once there, Constance leads us into her office for privacy.
She sees a nurse friend and asks, “Kathi, can you please get the portable ultra sound for me, and bring it to my office? Please use the utmost discretion.”
“ Of course Dr. Pierce, I will only be a moment. Do you require anything else?” The nurse asks. She seems kind hearted, a little older, maybe fifty or so. She has short strawberry blond hair and tiny teal eyes, which appear to be permanently smiling. Her rosy checks just add to the softness of her demeanor.
“ No that will be all, thank you Kathi.” And she shuts the door.
As we wait, I hope that Sophia has made a mistake. The only problem is that in a year I have yet to see her be wrong. She’s been working on Mrs. McCord, Nathanial’s mom, of course without her knowing. The McCord’s have wanted another child since Nathanial was born. Unfortunately Mrs. McCord sustained internal damage during childbirth and has not been able to conceive again. Since Sophia can’t tell them about her and her powers, she is healing Nathanial’s mom without her knowledge. That’s why it is taking so long; she has to do the healing in small increments. Yet here I am not wanting a baby and preparing to confirm that I will be a mother before graduation.
“ I was just thinking about Mrs. McCord, how’s the healing going for her?” I ask.
Sophia smiles, “I think I have almost repaired all her internal damage. Nate and I talked to them, just to make sure they would still want to have another child. I mean Nate and Luke are both men now, they are almost done raising children.”
“ I assume they still do?”
“ I have never seen anyone light up at the thought of a baby the way those two did. Nate’s mom said she would never give up the opportunity to love someone. They have even considered adoption or fostering a child.” Sophia looks at me and realizes what she just said. “I am so sorry Ebony, I didn’t mean…”
The tears start to come again, “I know, and I understand. How can I be so upset over something so wonderful, that so many others would love to have?”
There is a knock on the door, and my heart almost jumps out of my chest. Nurse Kathi walks in with this rather large machine on wheels. She places it next to the sofa in Constance’s office.
“ Don’t worry Ebony; it is not as scary as it looks. Come lie down on the sofa and lift you shirt up a little. I am going to put a little of this blue gel on your stomach, it can feel a little cold,” Constance warns. “Then I am going to use this little handle, and just by moving it around on the gel we will get a picture of your internal organs. You can watch everything on this little screen. I will describe it as we go.”
“ Okay, I think I’m ready,” I squeeze Sophia’s hand.
“ Oh my, it’s a good thing I am a vampire otherwise this would really hurt,” Sophia tries to lighten the mood.
“ Okay Ebony, here comes the gel. Remember to breathe it is going to be okay.”
I jump a little when the gel plops on my stomach and Constance spreads it around. I try to watch the screen but can’t make anything out.
“ See this here, this is your uterus,” Constance explains the shadow on the screen.
