Closer To Me

Choices (pt 2)

The midwife comes in after several minutes, looking shocked at the fact Anna is crying.


“Hi, I'm Emma. I'm going to be doing your scan today,” she says weakly “Is everything okay, Miss. Brown?”


“No. Not at all. I don't want a scan. I just want this baby out of me,” she whimpers, making my stomach turn and my heart sink.


“Well to have an abortion we have to give you a scan to see how developed your baby is,” Emma explains, calmly. “So why don't you come through and have a lie down. You don't even have to look at the screen, this is for my benefit.”


“I guess that's okay...” Anna sighs, looking up at me hopefully.

“Is this Daddy?” Emma asks Anna, hinting to me.


Anna nods weakly, smiling sympathetically at me. I turn away, showing how upset I am.

“Will you be coming in to hold Anna's hand?”Emma asks me, clearly aware of the differing opinions.


“No. I'm not willing to sit and watch a kid being killed,” I shake my head, looking out the window, catching a glimpse of a couple walking to their car with a newborn in a car seat.

“It's not quite that barbaric... The child won't feel a thing, it's probably just a bundle of cells,” Emma assures.


“Alex, please.. I'm begging you...” Anna sniffles, shaking still “You can see the baby on screen, okay?”

I bite my lip. It's cruel to tease someone with something, just to be told it's going to be taken away, but I nod in agreement- half of me hoping Anna will see the baby and fall in love with it.


“Right, come on in and get settled down,” Emma smiles, leading us to a tiny, dark room.


I help Anna onto the bed, getting her comfy and helping her to expose her tiny belly.


Anna looks weak as she touches the tiny bump, snatching her hand away as she catches me looking.


“Right, this is going to get a little cold,” Emma laughs softly, squirting the gel onto Anna's belly.


I sit on the bed next to Anna, holding her hand, staring at the screen above our head. Anna looks on anxiously, despite having insisted on not even seeing the baby.


“There we go!” Anna smiles, pointing out a perfectly still little baby on screen “You're 10 weeks.”


“Can you tell the sex?” I ask eagerly.


“I'd like a girl,” Anna let's slip, instantly looking away from the scan image and covering her mouth.

“Well we can't tell the sex just yet, but if you don't abort we can tell in around another 10 weeks,” Emma smiles “But the baby may react to stimulation like noise and touch.”


I lean forward, Anna panicking as I touch my lips against the bump- seeing the baby moving and wriggling around on screen.


“No, I-I can't...” Anna panics, out of no where and wipes her belly, standing up- walking out before either Emma and I can speak.


“I'm sorry, this is just a little emotional.. She has had a hard time lately,” I try and explain.


“You don't have to explain, sir,” Emma smiles, handing over a strip of scan pictures of the perfect, tiny little bean. “Go after her and see if you can calm her down.”


I nod and walk out, unable to keep the stupidly proud grin from my face. I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love Anna, my best friend. But this little bean is a pretty close second.
