A visit to the doctor

"good morning Mr and Mrs Campbell." the doctor greeted when we entered his office. Amaya and I are here for her check up, to know how the baby is doing.

"good morning doctor" Amaya responded, I didn't bother to respond, my only relationship with this doctor is that he is going to assist my wife in the process of giving birth.

Amaya gave me a look, I smiled in response. "please follow me." I open the door for Amaya, she murdered thank you before stepping out, I followed suit.

The doctor took us to the ultrasound room, Amaya was made to lay on a bed, the doctor was about to lift her gown up but I held his hand.

"I'll prefer you call a female doctor," a gave a smile which didn't reach my eyes.

"Mason let him do his job." I heard Amaya's sweet voice, I won't let another man see what belongs to me, what is mine is mine, I don't share.

"which is why I am telling him to get a female doctor or nurse here to help with the ultrasound." She rolled her eyes

"no problem, if you will excuse me." he left the room, few minutes later a female doctor entered, her dirty-blonde hair was tied into a ponytail.

"good morning Campbells, I am doctor Stacy. I am here to assist doctor Austin, let's proceed." she lift her gown, took tissue and stuff it on her pant.

"is this your first screening?" she asked, Amaya nod her head. "ok, i am going to apply a very cold liquid on your stomach." she said before applying the gel.

Taking the transducer she place it on her stomach, her hand move gently on Amaya's stomach "you see that? the little thing curl up, it is moving. That is you baby." Amaya had a smile on her face, but then it faltered like she was worried.

"doctor, I've been pregnant for six months but my baby has never kicked, is it normal?" I turn to the doctor to hear what she will say

"some babies start kicking late but to be on a safe side, I'll run a few tests. Do you want to hear it's heartbeat?" Amaya happily nod her head.

The sound of the baby's heartbeat fill the room, it was beautiful. "will you want me to record it?"

"yes please." I couldn't utter a single word. She recorded the sound. She took the tissue to clean her stomach before pulling her dress down.

My mind which was running in thoughts came back to reality when Amaya hiss "are you OK? does it hurt?" she shook her head, her smile broaden.

"the baby kicked" she whispered into my ears, for a moment there I thought she was in pain. I love my child there is no doubt there but I will never love to see Amaya in pain except the labor pain which is inevitable.

"see, there's no reason to be scared. Do you still want me to run the test? as for your baby's heartbeat, it is normal." Doctor Stacy said, Amaya shook her head

"thank you doctor." she said.

"I'll go get doctor Austin then." minutes later doctor Austin came in

"if you will follow me to my office." in the doctor's office, Amaya couldn't stop smiling, her face was full of life.

"your baby is healthy, his heartbeat is normal and doctor Stacy said he or she just started kicking, there's nothing to worry about. Some babies start kicking only until seven months." he pause to breathe in before continuing "how frequently do you have sex?" he asked,

"we don't" Amaya was the one to answer the doctor.

"I strongly advice it, you should do it frequently, this will help in delivery unless you want stitches." I could feel Amaya's resistance but she nod her head to what the doctor said.

we finish up with the hospital, we are currently on our way back home.

"I'll drop you at home before going back to work." I said

"I can take a cap back home so you don't delay." interlocking our fingers, I bought it up to my mouth to drop a kiss.

"my mind will be at ease when I see that you are safe at home." we got to the car were the driver has been waiting for us. I open the car door for her, she got in.

"About what the doctor said,you don't have to do it if you don't want to." I don't want to force her into doing things she doesn't like.

"it is OK, I don't want stitches they are painful and if the doctor recommended it then it means it is something that has to be done." I hum.

We got home, I made sure she entered the house before I went to work. I plan on talking Amaya on a date tomorrow, a dinner for two, just the both of us in a serene place.

After a hectic and long day from work, I went home. Lydia traveled yesterday. I was greeted my Baron "Good evening Master Mason, Mrs Campbell has been waiting for you, she is in the sitting room." I made my way there, she was fast asleep.

Not wanting to wake her up, I carried her but the little action woke her up "your back" I didn't drop her down, I continue climbing the stairs with her in my arms.

"why did you wait up for me? you shouldn't stress yourself Amaya" I scolded her, she pout her beautiful lips making me groan.

"woa, why is it so cold in here?" I asked, the room felt like a dead man's land.

"I was feeling heat so I reduce the room's temperature." came her little voice. I dropped her on the bed, looks like I'll be sleeping with a thick blanket tonight.

I went to the bathroom, took a hot bath then came back to sleep. "good night my love." she surprised me by putting her head on my chest

"Mason?" she called

"hmm?" using her fingers, she drew little circles on my bare chest. I had decided to sleep shirtless tonight even though the house is freezing.

"forget it." she stopped "let's sleep." really? no way. I change our position, she lay down on her back, taking her hand and putting it above her head i seal our lips, kissing her passionately.

She move her lips going in sync with mine, I broke the kiss to look her in the eyes "I love you Amaya and I am willing to wait." going back my side of the bed.
