Love and War, Chapter 10

Chapter 10 "I lost my baby didn't I doctor?" Polly asked as she lay in a hospitial bed getting an ultra sound, there was no heart beat yet and she was slowly lossing hope of her baby being alive. Then suddenly a sound started, the most glorious sound she had ever heard and would ever hear, the sound of a tiny little heart slowly beating inside of her. That was her baby. "Well your child seems to be fine, the pains were normal pains and the blood would have been yours." The doctor said in his deap voice, he looked to be at least 45 and his eyes told Polly that he had seen many things in his time at the hospitial, not all were happy. "Am I alright to leave now?" Polly asked the doctor. "As soon as we get this off your stomach yes." Five minutes later Polly was out the door, Jess was standing there, full of questions. "Is the baby alright?" "Yes, I got to hear the heart beat." "Really, what did it sound like?" "Words can not describe it." Polly answered the questions, but she wasn't really there with the question, with Jess or with the world. That day had made Polly see that the baby needed her, as much as Polly needed this baby. That day made Polly see that in five months she was going to be a mother, she would have a child of her own now and she didn't want to give it up any more, for anybody.
