"Okay, and there's your baby" Dr.Dare says.
"Everything okay?" I ask looking at the monitor.
"Perfect, just where we want it at 6 months" she says wiping my bump, removing the cold gel. "Where's Jack?"
"Had to work today" I say. "Is there a due day set?"
"Yup, should come in November. And I'm guessing you still don't want to know the sex" she asks.
"Nope" I say sitting up.
"Any names ready?" She asks.
"We decided to wait, we need to know if it'll fit him or her."
"Good choice" she says putting away her things. "Most parents change their mind at the sight of the child. Now lay back down, you knew thou was coming."
"Yay" I say sarcastically, "my favorite part" I lay back and spread my legs.

"Hey Punz" I smile walking into her hospital room.
"Elsa" she smiles weakly. "Thanks for coming" I walk over and give her a hug. Then Eugene.
"How you feeling?" I ask.
"Better, I just, really miss my hair" she pets her bald head.
"She had chemo again, last week" Eugene says. "They said one more surgery, and hopefully they'll get it all."
"I've only walked twice, ever since they fixed my spine. But then stupid cancer had to grow" she says.
"I'm sorry Punz" I say and reach into my bag. "But, here. I got this for you" I hand her a long, blonde wig. "I couldn't find a short, brown one so I got one that looks like your old hair. You like it?"
"I love it" she says. "It feels, great to have long, itchy, pain in the ass hair again."
"It'll grow back" Eugene says. She was putting it on and fixing it to make it seem natural when she finally noticed.
"Elsa" she says looking down at my stomach. "C-Can I?" She asks and I nod. She placed both of her hands on my bimbo and smiles. "It's getting bigger. I haven't seen it this big before. Is it a girl or a boy?" She asks.
"We don't know" I say as she continues to pet.
"Hi baby" she smiles. I look over at Eugene who mouths 'thank you' and I smile. Rapunzel's been through a lot. First she can't have a baby, and an injured spine, then cancer. It just doesn't seem fair. "Alright Eugene" she says. "Hand me my laptop and come sit next to me" Eugene does as he's told and she quickly open the pink device. She looks like a little kid, excited about something. And her pink laptop with stickers just tops it off.
"What are we doing?" He asks.
"My last surgery is tomorrow. Hopefully. So it's time to look for adoptions"
"A baby? Now?" He asks.
"Why not? The house has an extra room, you got back to work, it's a perfect time" she says.
"Rapunzel, you just had chemo. The bills it's just going to-"
"Please Eugene, please. We have to do it, sooner or later, plus, the agency sometimes takes forever" she says.
"I think you should do it" I say. "Take a chance Eugene, I believe you guys can do it" I say. He looks up at me then back at Rapunzel.
"I guess" he says causing Rapunzel to shout. She begins to ramble on about agency's and names and other things. I quietly make my way out of the room, not wanting to interrupt anything.

"Jack?" I call out and close the door.
"Hello, me lovely" he says walking in the room and kisses me. His clothes were dirty and had dry paint stains on them.
"Oh, okay then" I say and he kisses me again, deeper. "Wait, wait I have to show you something" I reach into my purse and take out a small picture and show it to him. He gasps.
"Is that?" I nod and he takes the picture. "Awe"
"Everything is good, no signs of any problems."
"It's so close" he says. "Oh, this reminds me" he says and takes my hand. He takes me upstairs and opens the door at the end of the hall. "Tada!" He says and I gasp.
It was the babies nursery, he had been working on for the past two weeks. It was a light shade of blue, and on one of the walls, there was a small tree with snowflakes hanging. "Snowflakes?" I ask.
"We both like the cold, so I thought, why not?" He says and rests his hands on my shoulders. The crib had come in and was white, matching the white rocking chair in the corner. Stuffed toys were on shelves and so were books. "Here's the blue prints" he says and I follow him. "On this wall, I was thinking we could put the babies name. And over here, a big stuffed bear."
"It's perfect" I feel something move inside of me and realize that it was the baby kicking. "It's kicking" I say.
"Let me feel!" He says like an excited 6 year old. He bends down and touches my stomach. "Hey there champ" he says. "Your mommy is hot, did you know that?"
"Jack" I laugh and slap his head. He laughs and stands up. He kisses me again but this time deeper. He then travels to my neck and I sigh. "Jack, lets wait for the first one to be born. Before we start having any ideas" I say and he stops.
"It's been five months" he whines.
"You're disgusting" I joke and he just smiles.
"It's been a long day" he says, "let's just go to bed" I nod.
I was bored so I wrote this pointless chapter.
