“We better get going,” Lukas says.

Paxton and Rhett help Lukas get everything in the SUV.

“Text me about your appointment. I really hope it’s what we think it is,” Lissy whispers to me.

I had to tell her what I suspected because she noticed I was acting weird.

“Me too.” I smile at her.

I give them each a hug and get into the car.

“Text along the way!” Rhett says as he waves.

It takes us twenty minutes to get to the doctor’s office. We head inside and check in.

“Are you going to come in with me?” I ask Lukas.

“Do you want me to?”

“If you want. Or I can have them come get you if there’s something going on.”

“Sure. Whichever way you want,” he says as he kisses me.

The nurse calls me back and I follow her. She takes my vitals and has me collect a urine sample.

“Doctor will be in to see you in a few minutes.” She smiles as she leaves.

“Thank you.”

After what feels like forever, my doctor comes in.

“Hi Emmanuelle, how are you doing?” Doctor Hughes asks.

“I’m okay. I don’t know how I didn’t realize I was so late.”

“Well congratulations, you are pregnant and from your levels, I’d say you’re about three months along. I’d like to do an ultrasound if you don’t mind. Just to make sure baby is growing and happy.”

“Can I have Lukas come in? Also, can you not tell him till you do it? I want to see his face when we see the baby.”

She smiles at me. “We can do that. I’ll have Nancy set you up then go and get him. Then we’ll see your baby.”

“Thank you so much!”

Nancy comes in and gets me prepared for the ultrasound, then goes out to get Lukas.

Lukas

“Lukas Vandenberg?” I hear a nurse call out.

I stand up and walk towards her.

“I’m Lukas. Is Emmanuelle okay? What’s wrong?” I’m starting to panic.

“Please follow me. The doctor will explain things to you both.”

What the fuck? Why isn’t she telling me what’s wrong with my Emma? She opens a door and Emma’s laying on the table and there’s a machine in the room. I go over to Emma and take her hand.

“Is everything okay?” I ask just as the doctor comes in.
