Ayla was pretty anxious as she sat in the waiting room at the hospital. Jared couldn't be here with her just now because unfortunatedly, the first ultrasound she'd been able to schedule happened during a week where he had pretty intense music practices in the evening since they were just before the week of half term shows and exams and such, but she would definitely make sure that he was there for the second ultrasound. When they'd finally be able to find out the sex of the baby - their baby. That thought made her feel so incredibly happy, it was almost unreal. And then, it was needed right now - she'd called her parents the previous night to tell them the news, since she wasn't going home for Christmas or any time until graduation, so she wouldn't have been able to tell them face to face anyhow. As she'd expected, her mother had freaked out, especially upon finding she would be keeping the baby, and her father had been rather upset too but a lot more understanding - at least Ayla knew she'd be able to count on him and that definitely made her feel better.
But she'd done so on purpose the night just before her ultrasound, because she knew that if anything could change her gloomy mood after a bad conversation with her mother, it would be the sight of the small baby growing in her stomach, even if it wouldn't entirely resemble a baby at that point. Still, the mere thought of seeing a small form that would become her own child, and hearing its heart beat... it was definitely overwhelming. And she was glad that Holly was here with her, too, because she didn't really feel like doing it alone. Even if her cousin was pretty silent as it was, but oh well. She was still happy to have someone with her whom she knew she could count on at the end of the day. Holly was really her closest friend, and more like a sister to her than a cousin. She was busy looking at the clock for the most part, until she finally heard her name called and looked up at the nurse. "Miss Ayla DeLaney?" she asked after Ayla got up and headed to the front desk, causing her to nod slightly. "Doctor Allen will be ready to see you now, you can just follow me," she told her with a smile, leading the way to a small room and pointing out the small bed in the middle of the room once she and Holly entered. "You can sit there, she'll be over in a minute."
