Second Best(2yeon/Najeong version)

Baby Shower

Nayeon

" Are you ready to see the baby?" Dr. Contreras asks as she puts the cold gel on my stomach Jeongyeon stands next to me holding my hand.

" Yes" I nod and look up at her, her eyes are focused on the machine its finally time for my ultrasound and we are going to see our baby we had to push back a few weeks with all the craziness but I am beyond ready.

" And we are doing the gender reveal later so you don't want to know correct?"

Jeongyeon groans then shifts her attention to me" They don't have to know we know we can pretend we don't know at this stupid party look I even have a great shocked face" I glance over and she gives her best impression.

Such a dork.

I ignore her" No we don't want to know."

" You suck."

" You are being a baby the party is in two weeks."

" Stupid I am the father I should know before some damn baker."

" Zip it."

The doctor laughs and puts the wand on my stomach I swear I don't remember being so big with Emma this early I am either retaining a lot of water or my body figures its already done this so might as well return to form.

The room fills with the wooshing sound of the baby's heartbeat Jeongyeon's eyes widen and jaw drops as it echoes around us.

" What the hell is that?"

Dr. Contreras smiles" That's your baby's heat nice and strong."

" Our baby has a heart" she says sounding clearly surprised.

I giggle " I know."

" I didn't mean that literally."

I twist my fingers with her and listen with a full heart its a miracle we are standing here hearing our baby or that any of this is happening.

" See that there" the doctor says pointing" That's the baby's heart you can see everything looks good there."

She continues to show us all small glimpses of our peanut each time she points a new piece out Jeongyeon claims she sees a penis which she obviously won't confirm she goes through all the organs then hands us a few photos.

" I'll let you get dressed and then I'll be back to go over everything" she explains.

" Is there anything to be concerned about?"

" I just want to look at the timeline and set a plan" her voice is reassuring but something has me on a edge.

Jeongyeon kisses the top of my head and hands me a towel to clean off.

" I have a bad feeling" I relay my fears to her.

" Everything looks fine Nay I know you are worried but from what I saw the kids got all the parts."

" Says the one who thought she would dent him or her with her giant penis."

" Can't help the equipment that was bestowed upon me."

I stare waiting until she looks over so she can see my face she smiles and then sits next to me.

" All joking aside if there's something wrong we'll handle it but you have had a rough go at getting pregnant and staying pregnant.... so this is good we are at twenty three weeks now I am handling everything I can so you can stay off your feet lets just wait before we freak out."

My head falls on her shoulder and she wraps her arm around me there are times in my life I feel so weak as if all anyone does is reassure me that things will be fine its just this baby.... this life inside of me... is my chance its my chance to prove I wasn't broken or marred but that I was meant to be a mother.
