grace was now a few weeks into her second trimester and she was now starting to properly show. she walked up to the mirror, as she looked at her body.

she slowly lifted her navy blue t-shirt up, as she placed her hands gently onto her belly. she softly rubbed it, as she thought about her baby.

"are you ready?" jackson asked, as he came to check on her. it was finally the day they were able to find out the sex.

"yeah" she replied pulling her top back down, before grabbing her purse to leave.

"grace donahue?" a nurse called out, as grace and jackson sat patiently in the waiting room.

"yes" grace smiled, as the two stood up.

"dr schneik is ready for you" he smiled. "she's in the room at the end of the hall" he told them, as they gave him a smile and walked to the room.

♛

"grace, jackson" schneik smiled. "it's great to see you both"

"you too" jackson replied, as grace went to lie down on the examining chair.

she lifted up her t-shirt, and got into a comfortable position, whilst dr schneik got ready for the ultrasound.

she placed the cold jelly onto grace's abdomen, as grace placed her head in a position to see the scan.

jackson placed his hand into hers, as they held each other through this exciting moment.

"how should we tell everyone?" grace questioned, as they sat down in the car.

"uh, i'm not sure" jackson replied. "i'm so happy though" he smiled.

"me too" grace replied with the same expression. "we'll see what your mom thinks?" she suggested.

they both knew if they didn't tell catherine straight away, hell would break out. so they called her in time, so she could come to seattle to find out the gender.

the two told catherine the gender of their baby and just like them she was ecstatic. however, she did wonder why grace's mom wasn't their, so grace just told her that she couldn't make it, they still hadn't solved their issues.

"well, we're going to of course need to throw a party to announce it to everyone" she told them, as she grabbed a notepad and pen from her bag.

"a party?" grace questioned with furrowed eyebrows. she wasn't really sure if she felt like having a whole party, with all the stress with the hospital and not speaking to her mom it was all a lot to handle with the pregnancy.

"of course" catherine smiled, as she began writing stuff down. "and i'm sure your mom would think the same" she added.

she was correct. that would be her mom's answer straight away. a party. she would throw a party for every small occasion if she could.

grace looked at jackson with a unsure expression her face, as he held her hand under the table, before turning to his mom.

"uh, how about something small" he suggested. "we have our friends and family over for some food and we reveal it there?"

catherine placed her glasses down the bridge of her nose, as she paused to think about his suggestion.

"fine" she sighed, as she put her notepad and pen back into her purse.
