Erin POV

Heading into the hospital I could tell Damian was nervous and I understood because I was too. All I wanted was for the doctor to tell me everything was fine with our baby. That I was still pregnant and nothing had gone wrong.

Tightly griping my hand he walks silently beside me to the reception desk of the maternity department. As I check in I notice him gazing at the other more pregnant woman with a certain look in his eye. One of desire and hope with a hint of fear.

As we take a seat he let's out a breath I'm sure he'd been holding for quite some time and I give his hand a gentle squeeze.

"You ok?" I ask softly

"Yeah I just want everything to be fine so badly" he sighs "I look at these other woman and more than anything I want to see you looking like that, heavily pregnant with our baby and glowing" he says placing a hand on my tummy

"We have to believe that we will get there, that this time is our time" I soothe "I love you and I promise you whatever happens, whatever it takes we will have our family"

"I love you mi amour" he smiles kissing me softly "I've never wanted anything as much as I want a family with you"

"Miss Fisher" the doctor calls out and I hear Damian take a deep steadying breath "this way please"

We follow the doctor through to the scan room and he closes the door behind us.

"Alright if you could get up on the bed and lower your jeans we cab start the scan and see how you are doing" he smiles "I see from your records this isn't your first pregnancy is this correct?" He asks

"Yes I miscarried at 11 weeks" I say swallowing hard

"I know you must both be very nervous so let's see if we can but your minds at rest" he smiles

Before I have chance to think Damian scoops me up in his arms and places me gently on the bed. He kisses me lovingly before moving back from me to allow me to prepare myself.

As the cool gel hits my skin a jump a little and then grip Damians hand as the doctor begins to move the wand over my tummy.

"There we go" he smiles "this right here is your baby, everything is as it should be, and will a press of this button.......we have a good strong heart beat. You are currently 16 weeks which means next scan we will be able to find out the gender"

As I stare at the screen tears streaming down my cheeks as Damians lips kiss my temple I find myself unable to speak. I simply couldn't believe I was laying here looking at our baby........our healthy baby.

All of sudden it became real there was a tiny person growing inside of me and this time maybe, just maybe I would get to hold them in my arms.

"I will go print you some pictures and let you have a moment" the doctor says before leaving the room.

At that moment Damian let's go of my hand and walks round to sit on the bed by the screen. I watch as he slowly moves his fingertips over the image of our baby and it's then I notice I'm not the only one crying. Tears are cascading down his cheeks.

I clean myself up and then move to hot beside him. The second I place my hand on his shoulder he turns and takes me in his arms holding me so close to him.

"Thank you, thank you" he whispers "this, you, it's all I've ever wanted. Thank you for coming back to me and giving us another chance"

"You don't need to thank me" I say hugging him back

"Do you remember when we first met?" He asks

"Of course how could I forget" I smile "it was at a beach party, I forget what for and we spent all night by the fire just talking"

"The moment I laid eyes on you I knew you were it for me" he says "I looked into your eyes that night and I saw my future in them, I could see myself marrying you, having a family with you and I knew I had to keep you in my life.  I never wanted those things with anyone but you even when we weren't together. It was always you and it always will be"

"I remember seeing your profile in the fire light and being captivated by how beautiful you are" I smile "I knew then that nothing was going to be the same that I had found some one who was going to be a big part of my life"

"Mi amor" he says moving back from me "Lo que te pido es simple. ¿Tomarás mi corazón, lo mantendrás a salvo y me amarás siempre como mi esposa?"

"Si" I smile "sí, no me gustaría nada más"

With that his lips find mine in a deep loving kiss that feels so different to every other time he's kissed me. In this moment I knew we had everything we'd ever wanted and we always would.

"Sorry to interrupt but I have your images" the doctor says

"Thank you doctor" Damian says taking them "what you said about the next scan, is there any chance you could tell now?"

"Yes but there is no guarantee of accuracy" he says "I could give you an answer now and then find out at the next scan I was wrong. I would recommend waiting"

"You can't blame a guy for trying" Damian chuckles "I guess I will just have to be patient a little longer"

"As long as I get to hold our baby in my arms I don't care what we have" I say snuggling into his side "our baby will be perfect either way"
