Me and Nancy's relationship is just like it started , beautiful. We're back to joking with each other , laughing and spending time. She's now 6 months pregnant and big as a house. Whoops.

" Hey baby. " I said wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her.

" Hey Nate. " she said pouring a bowl of cereal.

We sat at the table and just talked.

" So what plans you got today? " I asked just staring at her.

" Nothing , a doctors appointment at 12 and a hair appointment at 3. " she said chewing food.

" Want me to take you? " I said as she fed me a bite.

" Imagine this , a pregnant woman driving to her appointments alone , and she just so happens to give birth. Who's gonna help her? " she said eyeing me.

" I'll get dressed. " I said going to the room.

I finished my cereal and washed my dishes. I walked upstairs and found myself an pair outfit for my day. A red and gray striped sweater , bleached pants , and my red uggs.

I jumped in the shower and hurried. I'm not trying to be late. I washed my body and my hair. I got out and put on my pink lotion and got dressed.

My outfit consisted of an all white watch , diamond stud earrings , A red and gray striped sweater , bleached pants , and my red uggs. I straightened my hair , not bone straight , but with a little bump at the end. I put a part in the middle and my outfit was finally complete.

I sat in the living room for about five minutes waiting on Nate's slow ass. He came down in an all white shirt with a black Nike logo on the corner. Khaki pants/ joggers , and his all white low top air forces.

I grabbed my purse and phone and he grabbed his keys. We got in the car and drove to the doctors first.

We pulled up after we stopped at churches chicken , I got a chicken sandwich. Them mfs bomb asf. I got out eating my sandwich and walked into the building with boring ass Nate.
He signed in for me and we just waited. I got on my phone to at least not look bored. I scrolled through my Instagram news feed , not unusual.. dry asf.

After what seemed like forever we finally got called in.

" Welcome back Ms. Jones , So we're here to see the gender of the baby? "

Nate and I both nodded our heads. She laid me on my back and pulled my sweater up to my chest. She rolled over this thing with a screen on it ,

" Now Ms. Jones , this is pretty cold. So I'm just warning you. " she said softly.

I didn't think too much about it until she rubbed the jelly on my stomach , it was just like when they put me in the tub of ice. She moved a monitor or remote over my stomach and told me to look over at the screen.

I saw my baby. He/she is so beautiful its crazy. After she got a steady shot of the screen she took pictures.

She wiped off my stomach and pulled my sweater back down.

" So... " I said slowly.

" Oh Yea. Are you ready? "

I was on the edge of my seat and my knees were tapping. I clenched my teeth and nodded my head furiously.

" Its a ... " she said as she looked at the screen.

" GIRL. " she said proudly.

My heart jumped and I held my picture to my heart. I looked at Nate who had the biggest smile on his face.

" Oh my gosh. " I said with tears in my eyes.

I hugged her and grabbed my things and we walked out.

I held Nate's hand as my face was lit up with a smile. We got into the car and just sat there. I felt tears in my eyes , and my heart was pounding fast.

I was so proud of what we'd accomplished I didn't know what to do but be happy and cry.

I saw Nate look over and he put his hand on my thigh and kept driving.

We pulled up at the hair salon and my eyes had stopped watering , and my heart rate went back to normal.

I finished another sandwich and opened the boutique with Nate at my side.

" Hey Natalie , " all the ladies said.

I said my hellos and took a seat. My aunt eyed my stomach and back at me. I nodded my head and she smiled. I don't really know what kind of hair style I want.
