Father's Day

It was Saturday in the Queens clinic, and I counseled a girl I'll call Marie. She was only 18 and came in with her boyfriend and they both wanted to parent. After confirming her pregnancy and counseling her on prenatal care, she was able to have an ultrasound. As she was prepped for the ultrasound, her boyfriend seemed a little nervous. However, as soon as he saw the little 10-week old baby move, his face completely lit up. Hearing the heartbeat totally sealed the deal. Only as they were leaving did I remember that the next day was Father's Day.
