Maximus and Laura entered the consultation room. Dr. Baker raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised to see Maximus again so soon. She managed a polite smile and said:

“Back again as moral support?”

“Yes,” Maximus replied casually. “This time with my daughter. The woman earlier was my ex–wife.”

“I see. Well then, let’s check on your little one, Laura. How have you been feeling?”

“I’ve been okay,” Laura answered. “Just weird changes in my body. Some days I feel fine, other days I’m sad, and then sometimes everything annoys me.”

“That’s perfectly normal–it’s the hormones. Let’s take a look at your baby. Go ahead and get on the table.”

Maximus effortlessly lifted Laura onto the examination table.

“Laura, uncover your belly. I’m going to apply a bit of gel so we can slide the ultrasound device around. It’ll feel a bit cold, but that’s normal.”

“Alright.”

The doctor began moving the probe over Laura’s belly, and the sound of the baby’s heartbeat quickly filled the room. Laura and Maximus locked eyes, the tension from earlier melting away in the shared moment. Laura’s eyes welled with tears, and Maximus squeezed her hand, leaning close to whisper something that only she could hear.

“That’s your baby’s heart, Laura!” Dr. Baker said with a smile. “Everything looks good–your baby is growing right on schedule. A very strong heartbeat!”

“He’s strong like his grandfather!” Laura said proudly, glancing at her father.

“Well, that’s it for today. Just confirm your next appointment at the front desk, and here’s the prescription for your supplements this month.”

Leaving the hospital, Laura suddenly craved a treat, so they stopped at a nearby café. Maximus ordered a black coffee while Laura unleashed a voracious appetite, ordering cakes, milkshakes, and pastries.

“Laura, are you sure you’re going to eat all that?” Maximus asked, half amused and half concerned.

“Yes, Dad! I eat more than this at home!”

“Alright… anything else?”
