End Game (Sequel to No Matter What)

Scans

Maya looked at Josh while they were at the hospital getting a scan. Maya was extremely nervous and excited about everything. It was the week of Riley's birthday. She and Josh found out about three weeks ago about the new pregnancy, but didn't do anything about it yet. They didn't do much about scans or appointments. But now they wanted to do it.

"This is the fourth one, right?" the doctor asked as Maya nodded.

"Yeah. Number four," Maya said.

"This pregnancy should be really easy then. Let's see what we can see about baby."

Maya looked extremely nervous at the screen while she saw the heartbeat. She smiled while she knew for a fact that things were changing. She saw it all, and yet, she didn't know how to deal with any of it. She looked at Josh who could only smile while the doctor looked over at the couple.

"Baby M is doing well. Strong heartbeat. 11 weeks. You're 11 weeks along," she said as Maya smiled.

"11 weeks? Meaning what?" Josh asked as Maya looked at her husband quickly doing the math in her head.

"A May baby," Maya said as the doctor had nodded.

"Yeah, that seems just right, Mrs. Matthews. It will be a May baby."

On the ride back home, both Josh and Maya were quiet. Morning sickness got hold of Maya that day so she was in general quiet. Josh was still after weeks of knowing, trying to process a fourth child. He knew that the child would be loved, but he also knew that things seemed unreal. As they arrived at the house, both went in, Maya laying down on the couch as Josh boiled some water. Kayden and Jace were at the school on this day while Layla was hanging out with Joey and the Smith's.

"You okay?" Josh asked as Maya nodded.

"Yeah, I'm good," Maya said smiling.

"Life is crazy, hey?" Josh said throwing a teabag into a cup.

"Yeah it is. If it's another girl, I think I want to name her Gabriella Rose," Maya said as Josh smiled at the name.

"Gabriella Rose Matthews. I like it. With our luck it will end up as another boy though. Would you be okay with that then? Having 3 boys and a single girl," Josh said as Maya nodded.

"When I was younger I dreamed of having a family with you. Layla was our hugest blessing. I'll be fine with another boy," Maya said.

"I've thought of the boy names as well. Theo Shawn is absolutely amazing, but I want us to have a good relationship with your parents then," Josh said as Maya nodded.

"We'll get there. They are here for Christmas. I was thinking of maybe doing something with them. Getting into contact with them," Maya said.

"We've considered Noah for so long. Is it still on the list?" Josh asked as Maya nodded.

"With how things are and me not wanting the pressure, I think for a boy Noah Joshua will work out perfectly," Maya said as Josh smiled.

"I'm happy either way."
