hear her talking on the phone and asking for confirmations.
“ Sure, thanks little cousin, see you in an hour”and hangs up.
She turns around satisfied“In an hour, we're going to do an ultrasound. Ready to see your child? “
“What?”it takes me a while to connect all the information she just gave to me. Her happiness infects me but I start to cry.
“Oh, how cute, I'm so excited for you. Blame your hormones for that!”
“If you say so”I laugh, wiping my tears and in that instant two things happen. Logan sends me a message and Angel comes inside the house.
“Hi, I'm back... what's going on?”she asks approaching to embrace me“Why are you crying?”and I can't find the words to explain it, I have a lump in my throat. Nellie understands and saves me.“Angel baby, Kate cries of happiness. Do you remember saying you wanted a little brother or sister? Well, she just found out she is pregnant. “
I see Angel eyes become enormous with amazement“Really?”and I nod.
“Do you want to come with us to see the baby?”Nellie asks her.
“Yes!!!”she hops all happy.
“This is already the second message that he’s sending you, tell him that he must call you in 40 minutes and that it is urgent. Let’s shake this dad’s day. “
9.15 a.m.
“Hello, love, can you find 10 min for a video call in about forty minutes? It's urgent.”
9.16 a.m.
“Of course, I am in the office. What happened?”
9.17 a.m.
“Nothing but I miss you and I'm with Nellie waiting for Angel.”A little white lie for a good cause.
°°°
At 9.30, the three of us are in the waiting room.
“Nellie, girl, how wonderful to see you again. Mrs. Miller, it's a pleasure to meet you and congratulations, “thedoctor greets us warmly.
“Thanks! I'm slightly excited, I'm sorry “
“It is normal to be, let's sit down and talk for a bit and then we’ll do an ultrasound.”
We talk and she fills in my form. She asks me for a lot of information, but I cannot answer all the questions.
“Does Daddy already know?”she asks curiously.
“No, he will find out soon. He's off in the Middle East, so I planned to show him the ultrasound in a video call. “
“That’s fantastic!”she squeaks “It's a great idea. Up on the bed, please”.And in that moment, the phone rings.
“Hi, love, what's up?”
“Hi, Dad!!”
“Hi, baby, where Kate is? “
Angel laughs and hands me the phone.“Hello, sweetheart. How are you?”
