Love Grows (Love series: book 3)

Chapter 15.

Ella

My pregnancy is progressing nicely, I have the  headaches still, some days are worst then others.
But I'm currently at twenty-weeks, half way through.

I know Scott is worried about the headaches, but I've researched it and it's as the doctor told me at my twelve-week scan, that they are normal.

I read that no two pregnancies are the same, I am older this time and I can't compare this pregnancy to the one I had with Remi.

As for the baby's sex, I really wanted to know. So I can plan and organize things, but Scott really wants it to be a surprise and I want that for him.

I don't really mind waiting if I'm being honest, because at the end of it, I know we will have our baby here with us, hopefully safely and healthy.

The kylie thing still nags at me, and I don't know why. I mean it been months and she's gone, I thought I was okay with not knowing if her story was true or not.

I really thought I was, but it's like I can't let it rest and I can't get answers either.

A part  of me considered going to Riggs, seeing if he could find anything that could help ease my anxiety, but it feels like a betrayal to Scott, a betrayal in his trust.

And I don't want to cause any more drama or issues for us, God knows we've had enough of that, and this chapter of our lives should be happy time.

Pulling away from my thoughts and let out a deep sigh, before grabbing my bag and placing my phone in there, along with finding my car keys.
Double checking to make sure I have everything, baby brain is no joke...trust me.

Just as I walk over to where Scott is sitting in the TV area with Remi, watching Frozen 2 once again.

"Hi, babe. You feeling, okay?" He asks me as soon as he sees me approaching him. Once I'm directly in front of him, he hands automatically finds my growing bump.

Scott never misses a chance to touch my bump, he loves feeling the baby kick within.

With this pregnancy Scott is taking in every little moment possible, everything is magical to him, which comes from the fact that he didn't have these moments when I was pregnant with Remi, because he wasn't there.

"I'm good, relax babe" I answered with a teasing smile. I love that he cares so much, but he needs to understand that I'm still me. just bigger and just pregnant.

He looks at me getting ready to response just as Remi turns to look at us, then down to my baby bump.

"Mommy when is my baby sister coming?" She asks me, cocking my eyebrow at my daughter and then looked towards my husband who was smirking.

"Remi sweetheart, we talked about this, you might have a baby brother instead. And he or she will be here in four months" I explained to her.

"But daddy said I was going to have a sister"

Narrowing my eyes at Scott and smacked him lightly on the chest.

"Stop telling our daughter that she's getting a sister, where there's a fifty percent chance, she could get a brother" I grumbled annoyedly, he's so adamant that we're having another girl, it's driving me crazy.

I personally think it's a boy, just because of how different I feel with this pregnancy than my last, but I could still be wrong, I'm not ruling it out.

Which is why I'm not going around telling everyone...our daughter included that it's a boy, because it could go either way.

When Scott use to joke about it being a girl it was cute, now it's annoying. I mean he literally calls her a her and wants to buy everything pink and insists on looking only at girls names, because he won't admit he could be wrong about the sex.

And what's funny is that we can find out anytime we like....if we wanted too.

I mean we could end this debate about the gender of our unborn baby with one phone call to my doctor, but no his stubborn ass wants to wait until I give birth, but yet goes around telling everyone he knows that's it's girl.

I swear something I don't know how I put up with him....oh wait I know; I love his stupid ass with everything that I have.

"Okay how about a little deal wifey?"

"What sort of deal hubby?" Scott kisses my forehead and then laughs.

"I believe it's a girl, I think you think it's a boy so...how about who is ever right about the baby's gender at birth, gets to name the baby and the other doesn't get a say whatsoever" He challenges, looking at him for a moment weighing my options here.

"I don't know....I really don't want my kid ending up with a name from Star Wars"

"Wouldn't a little baby Leia be cute though" he says to me, shaking my head firmly for a no.

"No Scott it wouldn't....because people don't like Star Wars that much"

"It's a classic film Ella, that everyone has to see once in their lives"

"That's what you tell me every time you try and make me watch it"

"Remi loves watching it with me....don't you Rem?" He argues and then looks over to her, Remi shakes her head and scrunches up her nose.

"Not really it's boring, but you always promise me cookies" she shrugs her shoulders and then goes back to watching Elsa.

Shaking my head and laughed as Scott mouth hangs open at Remi's confession about not liking Star Wars and why would she?...she's a child.

"Face it babe...in this house you are the only Vaughan who loves Star Wars"

"But as for your deal, you're on because it's a boy and I have the perfect name for him" I added with a smirk.

"Game on...baby" He smiles, feeling proud of himself.

Kissing him on the lips and then pulled away shaking my head, still smiling.

"Yeah, game on, I'm going to see Amanda. Love you both"

"Love you too"

"Love you Mommy"

I hear them both say as I walk out of the door, just as the baby kicks letting me know he's right there with us...his family.
