Recap

"You're having a................."

Katrina

"You're having a.........." the nurse starts..

"Wait!" I yell out suddenly.

"Everything okay?" Elijah asks.

"Yes, everything is fine. I just need a minute." I say, the nurse nods. I gave her a nod. "I'm ready."

"Okay, congratulations you're having a sweet little girl." She finally tells us.

We both broke out in a huge smile. Elijah immediately hugs me and places a kiss on my head, while his hand goes to my belly, intertwined with mine.

"Our baby girl." He says. I smiled.

"Congratulations once again." The nurse says, as she hands us the ultrasound pictures.

"Thank you." Elijah and I say. She nods and leave us. He got some napkins from my purse and wiped the gel from my belly, before pulling my shirt down. I got up from the table, eyes still admiring the photo. Our hands locked together, we left the doctor's office.

~At the club~

He and I got to the club, there's a big lunch, our families and friends here, all together.

"Hey" I was the first to greet them all. After greetings, we took our seats.

"Everything went well? You guys weren't there when we woke up." Sammy says.

"Yes, everything is fine. We went to our appointment for the ultrasound, to find out the gender of our little one." I answered. The girls gasped.

"What are we having???" They say, mothers gathered, girls gathered. I looked at Elijah in a way that says you want to tell them?

He smiles, getting the message, smiling widely, he turns to them.

Elijah

"We're having a little girl." I said after a long pause.. making them antsy.

Cheers and screams erupted, everyone rushed over to us. Hugging us, kissing us, the whole thing.

"A little girl in the club, so exciting." Pops says.

We all smiled at him. Drinks were passed around, food too. We celebrated the news of our girl. Katrina stayed by my side, mainly cause I didn't want her leaving my side. I'm protective even more now, especially after the fact that I'll be a dad.

The girls went to mingle while I went with the boys.

"Congrats man" Jax says, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks man."

Kyle then says "How does it feel? She's almost fully yours."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, genuinely.

Sammy and Tommy laugh, Tommy smacks me on the arm while saying "Dude!"

"There's one last thing for you to do, for her to be yours fully. You know? All you gotta do is figure it out." Kyle explains. I nod.

Finally getting what he means. I nodded again. Conversations and the party going on.

"I guess it would be the perfect time to go ring shopping." I say. The guys nodded. "But, first gotta get her dad's blessing." They nodded once again.

After excusing myself, I went to find Maxwell.

"Sir, may I speak to you alone?" I asked formally.

"Of course, son." Maxwell answered.

We stepped outside, away from others.
"As you know, I love your daughter so much, and she's the mother of my child. I do regret leaving her for so long. I can promise you that I won't leave her or our daughter. And I do not see myself living without her. What I am trying to say or ask is may I have your blessing in asking for Katrina's hand in marriage?" I gulped, waiting anxiously for his response.

He smiles and says "Of course son, you're already a part of our family. I know it will make her mother very happy that her little girl is going to get married."

"Thank you sir." I say, shaking his hand.

"Oh please, call me Max." He says. I chuckled and agreed. Heading back inside, Katrina comes over to me.

"Hi baby. How you feeling?" I asked.

"Good, how about you?" She asked me.

I wrapped my arms around her.
"Couldn't be happier." I answered. She smiled, as we both watched everyone in the club enjoying themselves.
