The McCord Children

Stevie: Month Four

Elizabeth sat at the edge of the table, they couldn't wait to have their little baby. Today, they were gonna find out if they were having a boy or a little girl. Elizabeth secretly wanted a boy and so did Henry, they would love a little girl, but they would take whatever they were given.

She and Henry were sitting in the office, the doctor came in.

"Hello Elizabeth and Henry." She sat down. "Ready to see your baby?"

"We're so excited." Henry announced.

"This is gonna feel cold." As the doctor placed the gel on her round bump. "There is the baby." The doctor pointed to the thing that had features of a little human."Are you wanting to know the gender?" She studied the couples face.

"We would like to." Elizabeth smiled. Henry nodded in agreement.

"Say hello to your healthy baby girl." The doctor smiled.

"Hey sweetie." He talked to the screen.

"I'm gonna give you sometime." The doctor left. "I'm gonna print the sonograms."

"I'm gonna protect you and make sure you never get your heart broken by a boy." Kissing Elizabeth's baby bump.

"Henry... That was so beautiful....gosh the hormones." She smiled as she wept.

"I guess we can make the nursery very girly." Henry laughed.

"Can we put horses in the nursery?" She smiled.

"That would be beautiful." He kissed her. Now he wasn't gonna just protect Elizabeth, but a new girl had come into his life. A daughter.

"We gotta give her a name before she is born." She smiled.

"We still got five months babe." Giving his wife a peck on the cheek before returning to class.

"I know." Hugging him before he went inside the school building.

Elizabeth walked into the nearby park and watched the young kids who were just released from school head to the playground with their parents. She couldn't wait to take their little girl to that park. Give a little push on the swing and ride on the slide with her.

She couldn't wait for her siblings to join her. Thinking about them playing together would be so cute.

Later in the day

"I got a couple full names for our baby." Elizabeth smiled.

"Me too." Henry waved a list that he wrote during class.

Emily Joan McCord

Isabella Nicole McCord

Stephanie Anne McCord

Jessica Charlotte McCord

Eva Margret McCord

Allison Renee McCord.

Those were the names that one would hold the name of their child.

A few weeks later.

Elizabeth was finally 18 weeks along. The nursery was done and completed. Elizabeth since finding out had been finding cute little girl outfits for their daughter to wear. They were almost half way through the pregnancy.

FlashForward 6 years later

Young Stephanie ran through a field as her mother and father trailed behind on the path. Henry was pushing a soft green car seat stroller combination. As her mother was holding a 4 month old baby sister.

The girl smiled at at her parents. "Allie! Look at this!" The girl did a cartwheel.

The baby gurgled and smiled at her sister saying her name.

"That was amazing. Stevie." Henry smiled.

"How is my gymnast." Elizabeth smiled. Her mother had the weekend off of her "spy" job or what her parents called it CIA Analyst. She had a play date with 7 year old Harrison Dalton, tomorrow, which she was super excited for.

"Momma?" Stephanie McCord smiled.

"Yeah baby?" Elizabeth placed baby Allison into the stroller.

"Can we get ice cream?" Stevie fluttered her long eyelashes.

"Sure sweetie." Elizabeth smiled as she took her daughter's hand.

Present

Elizabeth was in the kitchen trying to cook herself something while Henry was out. She saw the smoke that she almost burned the food.

"Elizabeth." Henry spoke. Which made her turn around. Facing a pretty blonde. "This Sophie, she is my partner for my ethics class project." He smiled.

"Hi Elizabeth. Henry has talked about you so much in class.He can't keep his mouth shut about the pending baby to come." She smiled.

"Elizabeth, you don't have to be jealous. Sophie is the only girl in my class who doesn't flirt with me." Henry said trying to make Elizabeth less tense.

"Henry, I'm going upstairs." Elizabeth excused herself.

"Lizzie." He got up to hug her.

"Don't you touch me." Elizabeth cried running upstairs.

"We can work on this later. I'll call you and we could work at the library if it would work with your wife better. I think you need to be with her." She smiled. "I gotta go home to my two kids." She waved.

Henry cautiously climbed the stairs to their room. "Lizzie." He poked his head in.

"Go away." She was in a fetus like position.

"Baby. I love you." Henry sat down kissing each toe on her foot and then her baby bump and then her face.

"I'm just fat and disgusting." Elizabeth cried."Probably want a pretty women like Sophie." Elizabeth was sobbing.

"Don't worry Elizabeth, I love you. You are so hot and sexy. Incredibly beautiful, wonderful, amazing, and the best mother that ever could be." Henry kissed her forehead. "You are carrying my child. So you aren't fat. Our child will be strong like you and be beautiful as her mother."

"Henry, I'm sorry." Elizabeth cried.

"It is fine. Sophie can relate to me. She is married with two kids. She has been telling what and what not to do when our kid comes." Henry kissed Elizabeth for as long as he could. She melted into the kiss. He gently laid her down and kissed and nipped her where he could.

She slowly unbuttoned shirt. He kicked off his shoes. He started taking off her clothes as she did the same. The world just faded around them.

The next morning, Elizabeth smiled at her sleeping man in her bed.  She slowly rubbed her belly.  She couldn't wait to meet their child.  She slowly whispered to her bump, "Hey sweet heart, your daddy and me love you so much.  We can't wait to meet you."
