Once again, lance was on the table with paper under him, this time he laid down and a monitor was next to him.
"Hello Mr. Kogane, how are you feeling?" A female technician walked in.

"Pretty good, my morning sickness went away." He smiles.

"Don't be too happy, it could come back." The doctor says, her smile doesn't reach her eyes, sympathy wears on her face. She pulls out the instruments that will be needed and gel.
"This will be cold."

"Okay." Lance braced for the cold slime on his belly. She used a wand to press on his belly and moves it around, slicking his belly with the gel.
"So this is your uterus, and there is your baby."

"Awe, my little potato."

"Potato, really lance?" Keith rolls his eyes.

"They look like a potato and I'm also hungry for fries."

"We can get McDonald's when we're done."

"I want Culver's."

"Okay, now relax." The technician laughs at their banter and continues to look around with the monitor to make sure everything looked good.
"Would you like to know the sex?"

"No, let's leave that a surprise."

"When did we decide that?" Keith looks at him.

"I think it would be fun to not know until they come." Lance shrugs shyly.

"We won't have to have a stupid gender reveal party, just a baby shower." Keith agrees.

"Smart choice, my friend had a gender reveal party, and they used smoke bombs, it didn't go well." Says the technician.

"Oh man, yeah I don't want to destroy the house or environment with colorful smoke." Said lance.

"Okay. The gender reveal will be when they are born."

"Good choice. And the baby is healthy and so are you. Any questions?"

"Is there anything I should be doing to keep the baby healthy?"

"Take your prenatal vitamins and lots of rest, don't stress out, and healthy foods."

"He eats a lot but I don't think it's all healthy." Said Keith.

"Hey." Lance objects.

"Everything in moderation, McDonald's or Culver's is fine once in a while, make sure you eat fruit and vegetables."

"Of course. Thank you." Lance smiles softly.

"If anything happens or you have questions come in any time."

"Thank you."

They grab Culver's and go home, lance was already eating fries before they make it home.
"Hey, can't you wait until we get home?"

"No, baby is hungry."

"The baby or you?"

"Both."

"Okay, but remember I got fries too, don't eat them all." Lance rolls the bag up and sits patiently until they get home.
Once home, lance was quick to open the bag and digs his food out, Keith hands him a plate.
"Thanks babe." He grabs ketchup from the fridge and covers his fries in the tomato sauce.
"Absolute fiend." Keith says with wide eyes.

"What?"

"Why do you cover your fries like that?"

"Because I want ketchup on them, duh."

"Put it on the side and dip them in, covering them just- ugh I can't believe you." He throws his hands up in despair and walks away.

"Keith, there is only room for one drama queen in this house. And that's me." Lance follows him to the dining table.
