Finding My Baby Daddy (Pandora and Benjamin) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

“Please remove your jacket and lie down,” he instructed. She did just that and the nurse walked in. “Can you move your top up a little and your pants a little down?”

She adjusted the article of clothing like he asked and watched as he washed his hands at the sink. When he walked back to her, he rubbed his hands together.

“I am warming them up,” he informed her.

“Don’t people say that cold hands make a warm man?” Her words made her chuckle slightly.

“I think they do, but moms don’t appreciate it when my hands are cold. The gel is cold enough for them as it is.“]

“Derrik’s hands were always so warm. I was bothered by them. I mean, who likes holding a hot plate all the time?” she muttered and Dr. Parks hummed and went on with his exam.[]

“Your little Bean seems to be doing well. I am going to use the Doppler to listen to its heartbeat.“[]

Within seconds, she heard the galloping sound again and she closed her eyes to enjoy the moment. “Sounds good,” Dr. Parks affirmed and she opened her eyes to look at him. He cleaned up her stomach and then held out his hand to help her sit up.

“Can you roll up your sleeves?“]

She moved her sleeve up. He wiped her arm with an alcohol pad. As tingles ran up her hand and across her chest, she bit her lip and fought off a groan. He made quick work on the injection and placed a bandaid over the spot.[]

“Is it normal for a pregnant woman’s sex drive to increase?” she asked as she rolled down her sleeves.

“Yes, it is quite normal,” he answered right away.]

“What about reacting to simple touches?” she asked keeping her eyes away from him.]

“Touches?” he repeated as if he didn’t understand.[]

“I find that I am becoming sensitive… I am turned on more and more, even by simple touches,” she muttered and her face turned red.]

“Yes, that is normal as well. Your body has a high amount of hormones right now, so things will change drastically. If things are not as usual, don’t worry too much. My advice is to enjoy it,” he sounded a little strange as he spoke. Pandora looked at him. “Would you like an appointment later in the day next week?“]

Pandora frowned as she put on her jacket.[]

“That way, Mr. Leonard can come along, too?”

Pandora furrowed her brow in confusion. Her father hated doctors‘ office and there was no way he would want to come to his daughter’s pregnancy checkups. There were some things a dad shouldn’t know about their daughter, so why would Dr. Parks think that he would come along?

“Your husband is okay with this, right? With you being pregnant?” Dr. Park’s question finally put her thoughts in the right place.[]
