Chapter 53: The Heartbeat
Her eyes still lingered on his face observing his every move. His face tells as much that the baby is there. She is really pregnant. She finally turned her head to look into the screen.
Her gaze followed the doctor's fingers landing on a very small sphere, like some blueberry. Her child. A single tear traced a path down her cheek, leaving a shimmering trail.
She didn't know if this crying is because of happiness or sadness, but she know she can't control it anymore. Her hand tightly interwined by his, began to sweat. This is all real.....
He shifted his eyes to look at her. He still can't believe it.... that's his baby. His own baby. He looked intently at her who was now sobbing silently looking at the monitor. He grabbed some tissues from the table and lend it to her.
She was still focused on the screen when his hand blocked her vision. There he is offering her tissues.....still without no word. For God sake if he didn't speak how will I know what is he feeling.
"The baby is fine. I know it might be overwhelming for you. I guess it's your first time right." The doctor asked her. She nodded in agreement.
"Well we can confirm it by the reports but I guess the baby is a little more than 7 weeks gestation. During this time the heart is developed. Do you want to hear it's heartbeat." The doctor asked them politely based on her experience. That's what the couples are most excited about nowadays.
"Can we?" He spoke for the first time after coming in this room. Bella expected him to say no but what is this. He is asking like he really want to hear the heart beating.
"Sure." The doctor said adjusting the transducer. Within no time, a very faint sound was heard probably to everyone present in the room because of the silence.
She smiled lightly at the sound. She is happy. Really happy. She don't want to think about the future just this time and only want to live this moment now.
Lucas who himself requested to hear the heartbeat now stood still. His gaze was intently fixed on the screen as his mind processed everything. A choked sob escaped his lips, and before he could even register it, tears were streaming down his face.
She is pregnant with his child, the fact still sent shiver down his spine everytime his brain reminded him. But now when he looked at the child and heard the rapid thumping of the baby's heart, he don't want to know anything else. He just want to live this moment, not worrying if she will even have this baby or not.
"Oh god.....don't cry. It's okay." The doctor assured him. Bella got out of her trance hearing her voice. She was going to tell her she's fine when she noticed the doctor was not looking at her.
She turned her head to the direction of that slight gasp the doctor was referring to. She was surprised to see the man, whose child she is carrying, sobbing lightly. One can not hear it if they are too much concentrating on the heartbeat.
Why is he crying? Isn't it generally the woman who cries? The question sprang in her mind.
