Its been five in a half months since I've seen Luke. It's been kinda rough. Since I want him around me all the time.

I've been waking up thinking I'm still in Australia. My dreams are so real, I can feel him holding me in my sleep. With his hands resting on my belly.

"Come on Riley!" Mom yells.

"I'm coming!" I shout.

Today, I get to find out if I'm having a little girl or boy. I'm so fucking excited.

After throwing on Luke's shirt, that still surprisingly fits, I go down the stairs. Walking down them, the baby kicks hard.

"Ouch, dammit." I cuss as I reach the bottom.

"You alright?" Mom asks.

"Yeah, I was just kicked really hard." I say with a smile and a roll of the eyes.

"Ok." She says with chuckle.

We pick up Kona and head to the office.

Reaching it, I step out of the car and walk in.

After checking in, I take a seat and wait.

Mom and Kona have joined me and gush about how cute the baby will be. But I can't argue, our baby is going to be cute.

"Riley Martin." A younger women calls my name.

I stand up and walk back with her. Mom and Kona following.

She leads us back to the room and I sit down on the table. Laying back, I lift up Luke's shirt and embrace myself for the coldness of the gel.

I take in a sharp breath, even though I was ready. Spreading the gel around, she grabs the wand and moves it around.

"You ready to know what your having?" She asks.

I nod my head.

"You're having a little girl, congratulations" she tells me.

I smile as she the leaves the room to pick up the pictures.

Mom pulls up to a Dairy Queen, and parks the car.

Getting out, I start to walk to the door.
Walking in, I quickly order a peanut butter and chocolate twist cone.

After Kona and mom ordered, we sat outside.

I can't wait to tell Luke. He'll be so happy. I just really wish that he was here. I miss him so much.
