Chapter 7 - The Emergency Doctor Visit Confirms The Baby Is Safe
Even though Chloe insisted she felt fine, William refused to take any chances with his unborn child's health and safety.
He called their private obstetrician, Dr. Harrison, who immediately arranged an emergency midnight ultrasound at the Manhattan medical center.
Within forty-ven minutes, their private driver sped through the empty interstate lanes toward the glowing lights of New York City.
The sterile, quiet exam room smelled of antiseptic and warm gel as Dr. Harrison prepped the high-tech fetal monitor.
Chloe lay back on the examination table, holding William’s hand so tightly that her knuckles turned stark white.
Dr. Harrison pressed the cold transducer against Chloe’s lower abdomen, watching the monitor screen with intense professional focus.
For ten agonizing seconds, the room was so quiet that the ticking of the wall clock sounded like a drumbeat.
Then, a rapid, rhythmic sound filled the room—*thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump*—the healthy heartbeat of their baby.

William let out a ragged breath, dropping his head against Chloe’s shoulder as tears of sheer relief spilled over his face.
“Everything looks completely normal, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling,” Dr. Harrison smiled warmly. “Your baby is strong, safe, and entirely unharmed.”
