Taking The World By Storm

Chapter 8

5 months later...

Piper

"Jason! Get your ass down here!" cried Piper from the couch. She could hear Jason sprint down the stairs and into the living room. "What? Whats wrong?" he asked frantically, as he looked over Piper for any sign of injury.

"I'll tell you whats wrong! I'm to fat to move!" cried Piper as she pointed to her bulging stomach. So far she was 5 months pregnant. Everything was going well, no crazy prophecy, no one tried to kill them (well, no more than usual), and the baby was perfectly healthy.

Today also happened to be the day they get to find out the gender. Normally, they could have found out sooner but they weren't sure whether or not they wanted to know.

Jason sighed then bent down to kissed Piper's head. "You still have 4 months to go" he said. Piper groaned. She hated being pregnant.

"I'll get the car started" he said as he ran outside. Piper pulled herself up and waddled (yes like a fucking penguin) to the car. Jason opened the door for Piper as she climbed inside the truck.

The drive was only 10 minutes but it felt like an hour because all Piper wanted to do was pee. Then again, she always wanted to pee.

When they got to the hospital (after Piper went to the bathroom to relieve herself) they were immediately admitted. They sat down in their room and waited for their doctor.

"A boy" said Jason in a whisper. Piper looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "I'm trying out genders. I think its going to be a boy" he said. "Do you want it to be a boy?" asked Piper. Jason smiled. "I just want it to be healthy" he said.

Just then, a son of Apollo, about 30 walked in. He had whisps of grey hair along with his bright blonde hair that created a sort of golden affect on him. Almost like a halo. His name tag read "Doctor" and that was it.

"Hello, I'm David and I'll be your doctor. I understand you want to find out the baby's gender today?" he said with a smile. His teeth we so white, it was like staring into the freaking sun.

"Yeah, if we can" said Jason as he took Piper's hand.

"Alright, I'll see what I can do" he said as he raised his hands over Piper's belly. To the side, an image appeared in the mist. Slowly, the shape of a baby became visable. Piper gasped. "It's so beautiful" said Piper. David stared at the cloud of mist before smiling. "HE is so beautiful" he said with a grin.

Jason squeezed Piper's hand. "We're having a boy" he whispered before kissing Piper's belly. Piper laughed softly as she stared at the image in awe.

It was the most amazing thing she has ever seen in her entire life. They have had other ultrasounds before but this time, they could put a face to a name and it was incredible.

"It looks like your baby is very healthy and doing well, you should be due in about 3 1/2 to 4 months" he said with yet another dazzeling smile.

"Hi baby" said Jason as he wave to the cloud. Piper smiled and rested her head on Jason's shoulder. "Thank you doctor" she said and David nodded before heading out, leaving the cloud.

The couple stared at the baby for a good 20 minutes before the next patient came and they had to leave. On the way home, they stopped for pizza.

"You know what, I think we should go to the city and get some more baby stuff" said Piper as she stuffed more pizza in her. Jason grinned. "Sure, if you're up to it" he said as he watched his wife eat. This was her second pizza.

As they drove, they made a list of all the things they needed. In New Rome they had all the basic baby stuff but most of it was for protection and safety, with all the monsters that are bound to attack anything with the blood of a god in it. In New York city, they had cute outfits and fun toys. While having baby armor and toy knives was helpful, they needed something non-deadly.
