Abby got up early the next morning. She checked on Joe before getting into the shower. She stood in the shower letting the warm water hit her in the face. She sighed and put the face clothe up to her face. There was a quiet knock on the door and Luka walked in carrying Joe. "Abby?" Abby stuck her head out from behind the shower curtain. "I'm sorry, but Joe's hungry. Did you want to feed him or do you want me to give him a bottle?"
"I'll feed him. I'll be out in a minute."
"Alright." Luka smiled lifting Joe up to his shoulder.
Abby stood in the shower for a few more minutes before turning off the water. She put her sweatpants and shirt back on. Luka was sitting on the rocker with Joe trying to calm him down. He got up when he heard Abby behind him.
"Shh, it's okay, baby." Abby said taking Joe from him. Joe started to settle down a little as Abby sat down in the rocker. She lifted up her sweatshirt and started to feed Joe. Luka sat down on the couch across from her. He smiled as he watched her feed him. She smiled and stroked Joe's cheek. "Did you want to come with me when I take him for his check up?"
"Yeah." Luka said still smiling.
"The appointment's at 11."
Abby had Joe in his carrier as she and Luka walked down the hall to Dr. Raab's office. Dr. Raab greeted them from the doorway. "Hi."
"Hi." Luka and Abby said together. Luka wrapped his arm around her.
"How are you?"
"Fine. Thanks." Abby smiled. Abby and Luka followed Dr. Raab down the hall to an exam room.
Abby placed Joe's carrier down on the exam table. She pulled the top of the carrier down to reveal Joe sleeping soundly his bottom lip sticking out a little. Abby smiled as she pulled the blanket down. Joe scrunched up his face and let out a little wimper. She unbuckled him and pulled his arms out from under the straps. Dr. Raab walked over to them. "How's he been doing?" Dr. Raab said taking Joe's tiny hand in hers.
"He's fine." Abby rubbed the top of his head.
"Good. Why don't you get him undressed while I get his chart."
Abby slowly pulled him out of the carrier. Luka grabbed the carrier and placed it on the floor so Abby could place Joe on the table. She pulled off his sweatpants off and Joe immediatly started to cry. "I'm sorry buddy, but I have too." Abby unbuttoned his one-z. "He doesn't like to be cold." Abby said to Dr. Raab as she held him up to her shoulder.
"I'll be fast." Dr. Raab smiled. She undid Joe's diaper and pulled it down so she could see his scar. "It's healing nicely." Joe flailed his arms and legs as Dr. Raab continued to examine him. Abby tried to comfort him but it wasn't working. What Joe wanted was to be dressed and wrapped up in his blanket. Dr. Raab measured him and weighed him.
"He's gained two pounds."
"He eats enough." Abby smiled looking over at Luka. He smiled back at her.
"Are you bottle feeding him?"
"Sometimes, but most of the time I breast feed him."
"You can get him dressed now." Abby picked him up and carried him back over to the exam table. She quickly got him dressed and placed him back in the carrier. She pulled the blanket over him and he quieted down. A few minutes later he had fallen back asleep.
"I'll see you next month." Dr. Raab said from the doorway.
"Thank you." Abby smiled.
"Thanks." Luka said picking up the carrier off the exam table. Dr. Raab left and Luka and Abby stood there a moment.
"He's going to be okay." Abby said with tears in his eyes.
"I told you everything was going to be okay." Luka said wrapping his arm around her. She leaned over and kissed him passionately on the lips. "Did you want to grab a coffee?"
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"I'll feed him. I'll be out in a minute."
"Alright." Luka smiled lifting Joe up to his shoulder.
