Katllas's first doctor's appointment!

Those are her cravings up at the top. Deep fried salt and chocolate.

Kat couldn't stop shaking her leg as they waited to be called. Her mind was racing with worries about what her family would think, the fact that she was so bloated from all of the salt she'd been consuming as of late, and oddly enough...she was feeling something very close to excitement.
Her heart jumped into her throat when the nurse called out, "Kathleen Romero-Laverne," and she took Dallas's hand in hers as they followed the woman to the examination room.
She'd spent a few hours the night before reading up on what the first ultrasound would be like. Apparently they didn't use the machine like they did in the movies before the baby was twelve weeks along. Oh, no. They were going to have to stick a dildo shaped thing inside of her, put a condom on it, and probe around in her vagina. How inviting.

After taking her vitals, the nurse handed her a gown and told her that the doctor would be right with them.
She walked into the little bathroom to change, and then came back out. Dallas looked just as scared as she felt. They hadn't even fully decided on what they were going to do with the... fetus that she'd been calling Baby Taco in her head. All she knew so far was that one way or another, this kid was going to bake for nine months and then come out. She just wasn't sure whether it'd come home with her or someone else.

"So I guess I'm going to get to third base with the doctor today," she tried to joke when neither one of them said anything for a few minutes. She'd listened to Kegan and gone with the doctor that he used with Dexxie and Thalia. The only reason she did was because one she didn't know any other gynos, and two his mom offered to pay for it out of pocket so it wouldn't go on her grandmother's health insurance. That wasn't a conversation she was ready to have yet.

Dallas sat in the badly cushioned chair next to Kat as they waited. He had his hand around her back and was tracing little circles over her shoulder because of his own nervousness. He had never been through this kind of thing before. What if the doctor said something was wrong or something terrible was going to happen? Or even worse that Kat's body was just weird and wasn't even really pregnant? Dallas bit down on the inside of his lip while the minutes continued.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, the two were called into the back. He stood with Kat and followed her, well, more or less was dragged with her, into their assigned room. He pulled the empty chair up next to the bedside but stayed far enough away so that he wouldn't get in the nurse's way. He sat quietly while the nurse took her vitals and asked her all of the basic questions.

He had taken a brief note on the whereabouts of a linen closet where he had seen a nurse stocking scrubs and patient gowns. The thought came into his mind to try and nab a pair, put them on, and then pretend as if he were Kat's doctor. And now that he was thinking even harder about it, that alone could get pretty interesting. Of course he wouldn't do that , but the idea was tempting.

After the nurse had left and the room fell silent apart from a cough from Dallas, he pulled the rolling chair up next to Kat. He couldn't help but laugh at her statement about third base. "That bastard!" He chuckled and then stuck the tip of his tongue out in Kat's direction. "Do you know what they do on the first visit?" He asked, not knowing himself because he hadn't bothered to research it.

Kat laughed and cupped his chin in her hands, "Our doctor is a girl, chill out. All of your creepy fantasies are about to come true," she kissed him and then let go, leaning back.
"Yeah, they take this weird thingy and put a condom on it and put lube on it and stick it in my vag," she paused waiting for his reaction. "I'm so excited, I could pee." She said with absolutely no emotion, and just as she was about to say something else, the door opened and in walked the doctor and another nurse.

She was tall and pretty and not as scary as she'd imagined. She smiled at Kat and put her hand out to her, "Hi, I'm Doctor Martinez. I'm going to be doing your examination today. You must be Kathleen?"
"It's Kat," she said with a small smile and shook the woman's hand. "This is my boyfriend, Dallas," the doctor reached out to shake his hand as well, and then started flipping through a clipboard.
"So," she said as he looked at the papers, "It says you should be right around...eight weeks, right?"
She shrugged, "I guess so...that's what they said."
"Your last period was August 12?"
Kat nodded and blushed a little, since Dallas was still in the room. She wasn't exactly a shy person, it was just weird talking about your bleeding vagina in front of you boyfriend.

"Well, do you know what's going to happen?" Dr. Martinez asked her.
She took a deep breath and nodded, "I think so..." Her voice shook when she said it, and she reached out for Dallas's hand.
The doctor smiled, "Don't be nervous. This can be a little uncomfortable, but for your next ultrasound won't be like this. I'll try to be as gentle as possible, and it shouldn't hurt at all. Besides, you'll get to see your little baby." She smiled at the couple, hoping she put them at ease a bit.
"Now," she started as she snapped some rubber gloves onto her hands and sat down on a rolling stool. "What I need you to do is slide down and put your feet in the stirrups."
Kat did as she was told, and locked eyes with Dallas. "I swear to God, Kennedy, if you look, I'll kill you," she whispered in reference to him looking as her getting probed by the doohicky ultrasound thingy.

"I'm going to be using a condom, this is the probe cover. That's why they asked about latex on the papers you had to fill out," She placed the cover onto it like she said, and Kat felt her heart going a thousand miles an hour.
She pulled out a bottle of lubricant, explaining herself as she went. "Now, not all of the probe is going to go inside, but just enough so we can see what's going on. This is KY, to help with insertion," she put squirted the gel onto the probe, and Kat had to look away from Dallas or she knew she was going to lose it.
To help with insertion? Dear God, this woman was trying to make her feel awkward. She had to bite her lips to keep from laughing, but her body shook still.

"Are you okay?" The doctor asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
She covered her mouth and reserved herself, "Uhm...yeah, sorry. I'm fine."
She nodded and continued what she was doing. "Are you interested in seeing this ultrasound?"
Kat looked back at Dallas, "Yes...please. And...maybe prints, too?" Even if they didn't keep Taco, it would still be nice to look at the ultrasound, right?
"Okay. Now you're going to feel my touch you, I just need you to relax...Big deep breath for me," Kat did as she was told and then...

She looked up at the ceiling and squeezed the hand that was still holding Dallas's. It wasn't pain exactly, but...pressure. Lots of pressure. And it was really, really uncomfortable.
"It's awkward, I know. I just need to find the uterus...there's the endomentium, and...there's your baby." Kat looked back at the screen and squinted.
"Oh..." she said after a moment. "It's um...where?"
The doctor laughed and pointed at the screen, "Right there. You can see the amniotic sac starting to form and...there's the heartbeat." Kat started to hear the unmistakable sound of a fast moving heartbeat, and without her willing it, tears sprung into her eyes and she covered her mouth.
"Oh my god," she whispered, and then looked back at Dallas. There on that screen was their little lovechild with its little heartbeat and sac and whatever the hell else was up there because she couldn't tell. All she knew was that little blob was her blob. Her Baby Taco.

Doctor Martinez took more pictures at different angles and then said, "It's looking like...I'm thinking a May due date. I'll get it all calculated in a minute, but it's definitely May."
She pulled the probe out, and then started to clean it off. She pointed to a box of baby wipes, "You can go ahead and get yourself cleaned up. I'll give you two a few minutes." She smiled, and then headed out the door.

Kat didn't move for a minute, just stared at the picture on the screen. "Dallas..." she whispered, and then looked back at him. How the hell were they going to give it up now? After seeing it like this. She was pretty sure Taco didn't even have a face yet and she was already in love with it.

[Dallas Kennedy]

"Oh.. well that's uhm... hot?" Yeah, sure. Go with that. Dallas scrunched his nose when Kat explained what was about to happen. It was already making him feel uncomfortable knowing that someone he didn't know would be looking at his girlfriend's region. It was a little better that it was a woman and not a man, which eased him down a bit.

When the doctor came in, introduced herself, and shook their hands, Dallas made sure that his grip wasn't too firm like it would have been with a guy. As the procedure began and Dr. Martinez explained in further detail about what exactly was going to happen which in all honesty, kind of scared him. Maybe he was scared for Kat, or scared because he knew she had to be uncomfortable and was probably just as scared as he was. He might have also been scared at Kat's threat if he peeked.

The doctor had pulled up the picture on the screen of their peanut sized baby which had made Kat literally gasp. He fought back the little tears that were wanting to form in his eyes. One had escaped and he looked away from everyone in the room, especially Kat, and wiped it away with his hand. The little dot on the screen was beautiful, even if it was unplanned and coming at a really bad time but they were in love so what did it matter?

He knew both of their families would be so upset about this but he wasn't close to his anyway so he didn't really care. He was worried about Kat and her family. Considering her background and how they seemed to be rather traditional, he knew they would probably look down at her and not talk to her anymore because of his own stupidity. But what if they were to see the ultrasounds? Wouldn't they fall in love? He already had, just from hearing their baby's heartbeat.

When the doctor had left to give them a few minutes, Dallas rested his head on Kat's abdomen. "Kit-Kat, baby.." He smiled and rubbed his hand over the tiny tiny bump that she had started to get. "Baby?" He asked, "...are - can we do this? Can we raise a baby?"

[kat]

Kat put both of her hands over her face. Maybe it was these stupid pregnancy hormones, but she started crying. Like...crying. Not bawling exactly, but it definitely wasn't just a few tears. It was audible crying, and enough to make her have to catch her breath.
"How though?" She wiped her cheeks and sat up to look at him. "We're still living in dorms, I don't have a job or any money to my name, I hardly have health insurance, and my nana won't keep me on hers once she find out! I want to, but how?"
There was nothing more she wanted than to have this little baby for the rest of her life, but...Wouldn't it be better for him to have mature, competent parents? She knew she could love it more than she'd ever loved anything in her life, and there were probably ways to figure it out, but...

She collected herself and looked back at the picture frozen on the screen, "Is it weird that I already love it?" It felt selfish because inside she knew her little blob deserved so much more than she could provide, but maybe if they loved it enough...that would suffice.

[Dallas Kennedy]

Is was probably selfish and irrational to even consider keeping the baby. They could do it, couldn't they? He would probably have to sell the Corvette he had won, which he could easily do because he already had two buyers lined up. He had by far enough money stashed away, and he still had his job at Julian's. If she would let him, he would do his best to support the three of them.

He moved his chin to his hand and let out a silent sigh. "It would be hard, but.. I think we could do it." Dallas hadn't ever told Kat, or even Esme about everything he had kept hidden away. "I have some money put away, and since I work full time at Julian's, I get benefits. I can include others in there if you're worried your gran is going to take you off.." He straightened up his back and then went back into his slouching position. "It's just an idea. Think about it."

Her mentioning the fact that she was already in love with it made him get butterflies and brought a smile to his face. "No, I love it too." It was so hard to say that he loved things, apart from when he told Kat. But this? He didn't even hesitate. Dallas stood to give her a kiss on her nose, "And I love you, Kit-Kat." He said as the door opened and the doctor reappeared.
