Summary: Hayden's P.O.V.
******* June 1st 10:00 AM *******
Hayden and her mom walked quietly along the streets of the Beverly Hills shopping center. They had a busy day ahead of them. Right now they were on their way to pick up Hayden's wedding dress and then they would head over to the doctor's office for Hayden's first ultrasound. She would have loved to drag Milo with her, but sadly he got stuck working. As they made their way to the store, they were constantly being approached by the ever so annoying papparazi. Although she hadn't admitted it and never would, her pregnancy was clear for all to see. Worst of all, when they saw her walk into that store it would become very obvious that she was going to get married. Hayden hung her head low and pushed her sunglasses back into place as more men with cameras began to emerge. She stayed close to her mother's side as they began shouting at her.
Pap 1: Hayden are you going to admit you're pregnant?
Pap 2: Who's the father!? Is it Milo??? We thought you dumped him!
Out of no where, more photographers began to appear. Soon their screaming became unclear and all she could hear was a bunch of jumbled words being shouted at her. Not paying attention to what was going on around her, she felt her mom suddenly grab her by the arm and pull her in to one of the stores.
Pulling off her sunglasses once safely inside, she decided to look around. Gorgeous wedding dresses were hung all over the store. Aside from all the merchandise, it was very empty. There wasn't a soul in sight. Her mom and her walked over to the counter where Leslie rung the bell for someone to come and assist them. . Looking back, Hayden could see the papparzzi with their cameras pressed against the windows. As fast as she could, she whipped her head back around. Knowing they were there watching her every move made her feel anxious. She wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. Picking up her dress was the last thing they had left to do for the wedding. Everything else was all set to go. Her and Milo were planning to leave for Oregon in five days, before things got too crazy. Not that they weren't already. After that, they would have the wedding and then stay there to raise their child. She as the of their departure drew nearer, she found herself feeling very nervous. More than anything, she wanted this to work out. It wouldn't be easy, but the thought of having Milo at her side was comforting.
Just then, one of the ladies that worked there made her way over to the counter looking very professional in a business suit.
Lady: Hi, can I help you?
Leslie: Yes, we're here to pick up a dress for my daughter. It's under Leslie Panettiere.
Lady: Ok, has she tried it on already?
Leslie: No. We might need to do a bit of adjusting. We had to make an estimate on her size
Lady: That's no problem. I'll go get your order. You two can wait in that dressing room over there if you want (points them in the right direction)
Leslie: Ok, thank you.
Lady: No problem.
Hayden followed her mom into one of the big dressing rooms. In no time, the lady showed up with a giant box in one hand.
Lady: Here you are (hands box to Hayden) I'll give you a few minutes to change. (walks out)
Hayden: (calls after her) thank you!
Leslie: Thanks!
Hayden set the box down on the floor. Her fingers itched with anticipation as she opened it. She pulled out the all wgite flowing strappless dress. Once she had full view of it, she almost felt like screaming in all her excitement. She held it up for her mom to see.
Leslie: Oh, that's beautiful! Far more than it was in the magazine.
Hayden: I love this. Let's hope I feel the same way after I put it on.
She quickly undressed with her mom's help. When she was all zipped up, she took a minute to look at herself in the mirror. She almost melted, seeing how gorgeous it looked on her. Even with her bump, it seemed to fit her just perfectly.
Leslie: Don't forget this.
Leslie grabbed the vail that came with the dress. She went to stand behind Hayden while he pinned it to her hair which was pulled back in a casual bun. Through the mirror, she saw her mom take a step back, looking about ready to cry.
Leslie: You look beautiful
Hayden: ( shyly) Thanks.
They heard a knock on the dressing room door.
Hayden: Come in.
The lady made her way in holding large sewing kit.
Hayden: Yes. I think I just want to change a few things.
Lady: Alright
She told the lady what she wanted done unable to stop smiling. The lady bent down on her hands and knees getting ready to fiz the hem line of the dress. Pulling out her needle and thread, she began making conversation with Hayden.
Lady: (staring up at Hayden's stomach as she worked) You've got quite a load there. How much longer do you have to go?
Hayden: Four months
Lady: Wow. And you're getting married before it comes? Your fiance must really be something, huh? My husband never would have let me walk down the aisle looking like... (akward pause) ...well if I was pregnant.
Hayden: (forcing a small chuckle) Oh yeah, he's special all right.
Leslie (sitting down on the bench in the corner of the room) She got a good one.
Lady: Lucky girl. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl, yet?
Hayden: Not yet. My ultrasound's today. I'm hoping they'll be able to tell me.
Lady: Oooh, ok. Are you and your fiance hoping for one gender in particular?
Hayden: (shrugs) Not really. We're fine with either one.
Lady: That's good.
As they continued to talk, Hayden realized that for the first time she wasn't feeling uncomortable talking about the baby. She liked the feeling of being more open about it. She hoped she would get as many chances as possible to brag about her baby. It's what any proud mother would do.
****** 1: 00 PM ******
Hayden and her mom sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office. Her mom read a magazine while she sat silenty, tapping on arm rest of the chair. She was far too anxious to do anything else. Not too much later, she finally heard her name called. Her mom set down the magazine and helped Hayden up. Then they followed the nurse into one of the rooms. Once inside, Hayden instictively knew to lay down on the big chair in the middle of the room. The nurse pulled up a chair for her mom and for herself. As her mom took a seat next to Hayden, the nurse let the chair fall back. As she went down, she looked at her mom who was giving her an encouraging look. Once the chair was positioned right, the nurse got right down to business.
Nurse: Ok, if you could lift up you shirt just a little please.
Hayden pulled up her shirt, exposing her swollen belly. The nurse took out a big tube of this funny looking blue goo.
Nurse: Just relax. This may feel a little cold.
Hayden: Ok.
The nurse scooped up a big pile of the goo and slapped it onto her stomach. Hayden jumped at the feel of it.
Nurse: Ok( turns on the monitor in front of them) Ok so just look up at this screen and we'll be able to see your baby.
Hayden: (nods)
Nurse: All right. Let's get started.
She grabbed one of those strange ultasound mechanism things and rubbed it along her stomach. On the screen, Hayden could see a black and white image of her womb. Finally the nurse was able to position it so that they were able to see the tiny little figure that was her baby.
Nurse: That's it right there.
Leslie: Look at that! How cute.
Hayden: aww...
Nurse: (zooming in) There's the head... the arms... and the feet.
Leslie: adorable!
Nurse: You're baby looks to be healthy. Would you like me to tell you the sex.
Hayden looked at her mom. The excited look she gave her was the only answer she needed.
Hayden: (turning back to the nurse) Yes!
Nurse: Alright. Congratulations, you're having a *********************
