"The doctor wants to do an ultrasound next week," Olivia said softly, her fork pushing the egg around her plate in nervous circles. Seb glanced up from his phone, his brows knitting together in concern. "Is everything okay? The doctor didn’t tell me anything was wrong. So why the sudden ultrasound? Is an ultrasound even safe for babies?" he asked, setting his phone down.

"Yes, it’s just a routine check to monitor the baby’s growth. They usually do it between six to eight weeks but the doctor delayed it because of...you know." because they’s almost lost their baby at seven weeks..."Anyway, the ultrasound is safe."

"Alright. What time is it scheduled for? I’ll let Rosy know to keep my schedule clear," he said, already reaching for his phone to send the message while Olivia asked at the same time, "Will you come with me?"

Seb paused in the middle of messaging and looked at Olivia consideringly," Unless you don’t want me there?"

Olivia quickly shook her head. "No, I want you there."

Seb nodded, his tensed face breaking into a smile as he finished his orange juice and stood up," Then I’ll be there. And now, I have to go to the office before they send out a search party."

Olivia watched as he gathered his things, ready to leave and clenched her hands under the table. She wanted to ask him if he could not go. It was foolish of her but she did not want him to leave today. As she wondered what to say, he came around the table to her and leaned down to kiss her forehead," What are you going to be doing today? I hope you’re not going to crochet another condom?"

Olivia glared at him as he chuckled and leaned down to kiss her forehead, before muttering,"Livi baby, alright, don’t be angry. You can make as many condoms as you like..."

Olivia scowled even more and swatted at him," It was not a condom! I was trying to crochet a mitten! A mitten for our baby!"
