Austin is watching television while I get ready for the Doctor's appointment. I put on a pair of blue denim jeans and a black t-shirt.

I walk into the lounge room and Austin looks at me. "Are you ready to go?"

I nod.

Austin takes my hand and we walk out the door. "Are you scared?"

I shake my head. "I was the first time I went. I'm glad you're with me this time."

He opens the car door for me and waits for be to buckle up before he shuts the door for me.

He walks to his side of the car and climbs in. He puts his seat belt on and pulls onto the road.

On the way to the doctors we get caught in traffic.

"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by 'Backstreet Boys' comes on and I belt out the words to the 90's song.

Everybody, yeah

The traffic slowly moves and Austin takes us to the Doctors. Austin finds a parking spot and parks.

I step out of the car and look at Austin as he makes his way towards me. He places his on the small of my back and guides me into the Doctors surgery.

In the surgery Austin takes a seat and I check in. I sign the piece of paper and take a seat next to Austin.

He has a baby magazine in his hands. He goes through it. He holds up a section from the magazine and the article says. 'To circumcise or not.'

I'm not going to circumcise my kid. There's no point putting a child through that pain when they don't need it.

"Are you going to get our child..." He shakes the magazine.

I shake my head. "That never came across my mind. So, you know I won't get our child circumcised."

"Good to know." He looks through the magazine again. He stops on a couple of pages and asks me things.

"Valentina," the doctor calls.

"That's me," I take Austin's hand and we walk into the room.

I hope on the bed and turn around on it. I lift my shirt and gel is put on my stomach.

The nurse puts the wand on me and moves it around. She finds our baby and points out things to Austin and I.

I look at Austin and his eyes are misty eyed.

He's going to be a good Dad.

She makes some copies of the ultrasound for us to take home. "I'll be right back." She leaves the room.

I hop off the chair and stand next to Austin.

Austin takes my hand and pulls me closer to him. "What do you want to do, Valentina?"

I shrug. "It's up to you."

The nurse walks into our room with ultrasound and she gives them to Austin.

Austin pulls the car onto a dirt road. As we continue on the road there's a gate and Austin gets out of the car to unlock the gate. He climbs back into the drivers seat and drives the car through the gate. He stops the car and locks the gate.

Austin drives down the road.

I hear rocks hit the back of the car and dirt is flying behind the car.

Austin comes to a stop at a beautiful two story building. The outside of the house is painted white with a wrap around verandah. A swinging chair, table and chairs are placed there.

The house faces a lake and the sun shines onto the water.

I pull out my sunglasses and put them on.

There's a few people on the lake.

Austin takes my hand and pulls me into the house.

I enter the house and it has wooden floor boards throughout it, a chandelier hangs in the living, a flat screen TV hangs on the wall, black leather couch.

Austin walks to the TV and turns it on. He puts a movie on.

I sit on the leather couch and snuggle against my Big Teddy Bear.

Austin wrap his muscular arms around me and kisses the top of my head.

Half way through the movie I fall asleep.

I'm not sure how long I sleep before I'm woken by Austin. I look at him. "What?"

"We should go."

I shake my head. "I want to spend the night here."

He smiles. "Alright, I'll give my night co manager a call and get him to take over for me." He leaves the room to make the phone call.

I look for the bathroom.

I follow the hall and stop at each door until I find the one I'm looking for. I enter the bathroom. The walls are tiled white, a large mirror hangs in the bathroom, a jacuzzi sits in the corner with a shower head, a white shower curtain, there's a his and her double sink.

I use the toilet and then was my hands. I run my fingers through my very messy hair. My skin feels sticky from the couch.

"Val?"

I open the door and walk down the hall. "Yeah,"

He hugs me. "Oh, thank god. I thought something bad happened to you."

I roll my eyes. "Nothing, bad will happen. I had to use the bathroom."

"The pizza will be here soon. Do you want to come with me to the gate get dinner or do you want to stay here?"

"I'll come with you."

Austin and I make our way to the car and I climb in.

At the gate the pizza delivery guy pulls in. He climbs on of the car with a box of pizza. He box is handed to Austin.

Austin gives the guy the money and walks back to the car. The pizza is placed in my lap.

I hold onto the box as Austin drives back to the house.

In the kitchen Austin pulls out two plates and two glasses.
