Harry and I walked in the obstetrician's office hand in hand. I felt so much excitement, I wanted to bounce off the wall! Harry's thigh brushed mines every so often. I looked up at his tall figure, wondering how different life will be when Harry Jr. is as tall as Harry, and I'm just a small old lady. We walked into the obstetrician's slowly allowing the doors slide to a silent close. I went to sit over next to an elderly couple who were holding hands. Harry signed me in and was filling out papers.
"Hello." I said to the couple, making small talk. The woman turned and smiled at me with her pretty blue eyes. The man had grey curly hair similar to Harry's. His green eyes shone.
"I can see why you're here." the woman said, smiling towards my stomach. I nodded sheepishly.
"We are waiting for our daughter, she is finding out the gender." she gushed.
"But we are POSITIVE she will be a she." the man said.
"Same for me actually. I'm Brianna." I shook their hands.
"I am Hamilton and this is Betty." he said.
"I remember when we were in her, Hammy!" Betty said, shaking his arm. He smiled lovingly to her.
"Want to here the story?" Betty asked.
"Hun, don't pester her, she has an appointment." Hamilton said.
"Oh I don't mind! My appointment is in half an hour. Harry is always worried that we are going to be late." I chuckled.
"Oh Hamilton is like that too!" Betty giggled.
"Anyways, it was about maybe 1972 when we met. I was fresh and 16, and I had the best hair in all of England, I was sure of that. At the time my brother, Zach was in a boy band and sang. I used to think it was only because he had nice hair and a unique name. Of course I never dared to tell him that! Moving on, at the time I was back home with my mum, dad, and sisters. Then at 18 I moved to London right at the peak of their band's success. So one day I was sitting around and guess who knocked at my door? Zach and his band! I was flabbergasted!" she giggled.
"So one by one Zach, Ernest, Randy, and Jack all filed in. Then I met the eyes of the love of my life, Hamilton here, who at the time I thought was a big jerk for bumping me. And he had this signature smirk that I wanted to smack off his face faster than he could say hello! I later came to understand he did that to swoon me. Which he did, but not thanks to that obnoxious smirk! After a few accidents and hospital visits, we had a house party. I don't know why but we did. And I was going to the dance floor when I saw my favourite celebrity. So I made small talk with him until I noticed the entire band was missing and a few friends were. Turns out Hamilton had this entire little serenade planned. And I said yes when he asked me out. I mean he was and is the love of my life." she sighed.
I felt a hand snake around me as Harry sat next to me, listening to Betty. He shared a knowing glance with Hamilton.
"So after a few years of dating, Hamilton proposed. After about 2 years of marriage we had a son, Hamilton Jr. By this time the band had all married and settled down with children. We were all at my cousins house and I was assured I had food poisoning. So I grabbed all the wives and one of them handed me a pregnancy test. And guess what?"
"You were pregnant." Harry said.
Betty nodded. "I was absolutely positive it would be a girl. It is a parental instinct I suppose. Hamilton knew too. So after another baby joined the band family, I had an appointment here actually, to see the gender of my baby. And we waited here until we were called back. And now we are here."
"Well were you right?" I asked.
"You guess." she replied.
The door to the back swung open. A girl my age with brown curly hair and a bulging stomach came running.
"MUM! DAD! SHE'S A GIRL!!" she yelled, running into the embrace of Hamilton and Betty. I smiled at the scene unfolding before me as Harry wrapped his arms around me.
Betty wiped away her tears. She ran over to me and kissed my cheeks.
"Good luck." she whispered, slipping a paper in my hand. I hugged her tightly giving her my congratulations.
"Styles?" the nurse called.
Harry and I shared a glance.
We walked back slowly, the only sound was the squishing of our wet shoes and my heart beat, if they could hear it.
The nurse Sat me down and applied the cool jelly onto my stomach. I squirmed at the uncomfortable change in temperature. Harry squeezed my hand as we heard the whooshing of the heart beat from the monitor.
"Would you like to know the baby's gender?" she asked as the doctor walked in.
"Yes." we replied in sync.
The doctor turned to the nurse and took the strip of images.
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Styles, in about 6 months you will be holding a beautiful baby girl!" he turned the images to us, revealing the beginnings of life.
I didn't realize I began to cry until the doctor handed me a tissue and left the room to Harry and I.
"Harry!" I exclaimed.
He hugged me tightly.
"Hamilton and Betty....they had a girl!" I exclaimed.
His chuckles made me vibrate.
"I love you." He said.
"Kiss me." I said, pressing my lips to his.
"Well let's head out, we have some news to share!" he said trailing ahead.
I opened the paper from Betty.
"555-7392, once you figure out she's a girl... ~Betty xxx"
