| Joey tapped her foot impatiently, looking at her watch. She had been at the doctors for 30 minutes and was waiting for the results of some test�s the nurse had taken on her arrival. Dawson was sitting next to her, wrapped up in his magazine. �What�s taking so long? Do you think there is something wrong?� Joey whispered in Dawson�s ear. �No Jo, it�s just the way doctors are.� Dawson said, not looking up from his article. �When the doctor calls me, you are going to come in right?� Dawson put his magazine down and looked over at her. She was wearing a slight frown and her eyes looked tired. �Of course I will if you want me too,� �Joey Potter?� the doctor said as he came out of his office. Joey waved and took Dawson�s hand, leading him towards the room. �So Miss Potter, I assume this is your... boyfriend?� her doctor said, looking at Dawson quizzically. �Umm yes, sorry. This is Dawson Leery. Dawson this is Doctor Crisp.� Joey said flustered. She hated doctors terribly, especially after her mother and Jens� deaths. �Nice to meet you Dawson. So Joey I�ve looked at your tests and I think we know what�s wrong with you,� Dr Crisp moved towards the bench and patted it, gesturing for Joey to lie down. �What is it?� Joey walked across the room and climbed onto the bench. �Your test�s show you are pregnant.� Dr Crisp lifted Joey�s shirt up to examine her abdomen. �But I just want to do a physical examination to make sure. Joey was speechless. She tried to look over at Dawson but the Doctor was standing in her way. The doctor pressed her small tummy several times. �How far along am I?� Joey asked �I would say that you are around two months? But I would like to do an ultrasound now to confirm it.� Dr Crisp pulled the scanner from the other side of the room and started to prepare. �Mr Leery, you might want to come over here to watch this,� Dawson was in deep shock. Joey was pregnant, by him. Joey was having his baby. He shook his head and slowly walked over to Joey, her face almost white with shock. He took her hand and squeezed. �Are you okay?� he asked, trying to sit down next to her. �I think so. Are you okay? Joey asked quickly, terrified that Dawson was about to run out of the room. �I�m fine. Shocked, but fine.� As the Doctor ran the scanner over Joey�s stomach, a loud booming noise filled the room. They both knew instantly what it was. �That�s a good strong heart beat.� He clicked something on the keyboard and the fuzzy picture stopped moving. �Now, you see that thing that�s shaped like a peanut? That�s your baby� he clicked another couple of button and a picture was printed off the computer. �That tiny little thing is our baby?� Dawson reached over to the screen, touching it slightly. �Sure is Mr Leery, here you go,� he handed Dawson the picture that had been printed off the computer. �Okay Joey we need to talk about what your next steps are. I assume that you are keeping the baby?� |
