Ella's POV
Two days later I sat on the sofa of the Loren house, still staring in awe at my ultra-scan photo.
It was grey-scale and fuzzy but I couldn't take my eyes off the tiny little creature that you could just about make out. The Doctor said he looked perfectly healthy and when he was on the screen, I could see him moving his little legs and arms.

By 9 pm, I'd finally dragged my attention away from it when Mateo took it from my hands, pinned it to the fridge and replaced it with a tub of ice-cream.
We then sat with our legs stretched over Marco and Carlos as we indulged in the delicious creamy goodness as Bella and Lisa lay on the floor, glued to the TV, which was broadcasting the latest episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians.
