Chapter 28: Second Ultrasound

---If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as your wife? I never know what the future brings, but I know you're here with me now. We'll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with. I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand. If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?...~~~

-Nikki Gil-

Tomorrow is my second ultrasound and I'm thinking of asking Luke if he will come with me to see his baby since he wasn't with me on my first ultrasound day.

I asked Elaine when I found her in the living room if she knows where Luke is and she pointed out the study room or should I say his extension office. I knocked twice and waited to hear his voice from inside before pushing the door to open it.

There were lots of documents and folders on top of his table and a mug on his left. It's Saturday today, but he still had a bunches of papers in front of him.

"Uhm... Luke?" I called him while I was taking my steps inside.

"What?" I bit my lip when I saw how serious he was with his work.

"I just want to ask you... if you want to come with me tomorrow? I'm going to visit my doctor and she said that I'm gonna have my second ultrasound tomorrow."

I noticed him sigh and I waited for a few seconds before I finally heard his answer.

"What time is your schedule?"

"She said I have to be in her clinic tomorrow at 10:00 am."

"Okay, I'm going with you."

"Ohh... thanks." I was about to say thank you but his next word made me swallowed it back to my throat.

"It's for the baby, Samantha."

"Of course, it's for the baby." I said, forcing a smile... which I often do lately every time he emphasized the word 'baby'.

"I just don't wanna give you false hopes and I expect it to be clear to you that I'm only doing this for my child, nothing more and nothing less."

"Don't worry, it's already registered in my brain." But he didn't say anything. "I'm going back to my room."
