It's time to return to Dr. Ashmun's office. We made an appointment to go straight to ultrasound. We were the first one's there. We go in, and I take my pants off and hop on the table. Jeff holds my hand and we wait. Then, the ultrasound. I almost held my breath. I see this flutter inside the gestational sac, and my eyes fill up with tears. I ask hesitantly, "Is that the heart?" She says yes, and the tears roll. I look back at Jeff. This is real. The rest of the visit doesn't even matter.
