A/N Leigh and her tummy are about the 3rd or 4th photo going from left to right. This is yet again another filler chapter because I've been really busy with Easter coming up and happening....I have four Easters. Trying to update as much as possible. Love you guys! x
Could you also listen to Kids by Mikky Ekko while reading this chapter? Even though it probably doesn't fit with it, I was listening to it while writing this chapter and I felt personally that it went along with the chapter since he talks about kids doing what they want and stuff. Thanks!!! Oh and if I made a playlist, on YouTube, of all the songs I listened to while writing this would you guys listen to it? Please vote if you like it and want me to continue, and comment if you think the playlist would be a good idea! Love you again guys. :)

It's been almost 2 months since Leigh told Cook she was pregnant and her belly has definitely grown bigger since Cook found out. Cook has stepped up to the "Dad" part and has almost completely quit drinking and Leigh has him basically off of smoking. After Leigh found out about Effy and Cook she was pissed, but forgave him as she is pregnant with his child and was determined that they stay together. She forgot about it and Cook never mentioned it again for the sake of the little one and their relationship. They've told her mom and dad, but not Cook's for obvious reasons. JJ has taken over the role of Uncle JJ and talks to Leigh's tummy quite often. Cook also talks to her tummy and has even gotten the baby to kick a few times. No, they don't know the gender yet and they, Leigh doesn't want to, Cook on the other hand is dying to know. She's convinced him to wait just a couple more months until they find out together. They've started to buy some baby things like a crib, pacifiers, and have even looked at some paint and theme ideas. The two have it narrowed down to two themes; for a girl Leigh wants elephants and Cook wants pandas; for a boy Leigh wanted monkeys and Cook wanted a jungle theme so they agreed on that. The girl one was a whole other story of its own.
Cook tells everyone he wants a little boy but in reality he wants a baby girl, he wanted to have another princess, and someone who he can protect, not that he couldn't protect a little boy. Cook had different views when it came to babies and he knows that most guys want a boy to carry on the family name and whatnot. As we all know Cook is not most guys, so he wants a little girl. Cook has being overprotective of Leigh even more now that she's pregnant and she honestly hates it. She wants to have the independence she's used to when not being pregnant, only Cook will not see it that way. Leigh has an appointment today, an annual checkup, and they're running a little behind, because of Cook.

"Cook, hurry up we're going to be late!!" I was standing at the bottom of the stairs ready to go and waiting on little Miss "My hair has to look perfect."
"In a second, babe. I'm almost done!" Cook yells down from the bathroom across from our shared room.
"Cook you don't even have the much hair to begin with, not like its mine." I said to myself and rolled my eyes while picking up my wallet and the car keys slipping on my shoes. "I'm driving!!"
All of a sudden an out of breath Cook came running down the stairs "No, no you're not. Give me the keys and I'll drive."
"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm incapable of getting places on my own"
"That's my baby in there too and you don't need to be stressed out with driving, I'm driving now come on." Cook kissed my nose and rubbed my tummy before opening the door.
"...Fine." I reluctantly handed over the car keys and followed Cook out the door.
We made it to our appointment, with 2 minutes to spare, and were immediately taken back to one of the rooms. After a few minutes the nurse came in and told me to lie back. I lifted my shirt and she put the jelly on my tummy and proceeded to look for the little peanut. A few seconds went by and finally the baby was shown on the monitor.
"And there is your baby. Would you like to hear the heartbeat?"
I looked over to Cook and back at the nurse before nodding. She flicked a switch and the heartbeat filled the room. Tears pricked in my eyes and soon were falling. Cook grasped my hand and sniffed making me look over at him. My thumb ran over the back of his hand and I turned my head back to the screen.
"Do you want to know the gender?" The nurse smiled and looked down at me while I looked over at Cook. His eyes were silently pleading me to say yes and I looked back over to the nurse.
Sighing, I slowly started to nod my head at her. "Yes, we want to know."
"Well, congratulations you two you're having a girl," The nurse smiled again at us both "I'll give you guys a few minutes to yourselves."
More tears spilled over and I grasped Cook's hand a more firmer as I looked at him again. His tears were undeniable as he gazed at the screen. Sniffing and pulling his bottom lip into his mouth he looked down at me and glanced at the screen again.
"That's really her. That's our baby, my little princess."
I wiped a couple tears away and smiled at Cook. " This is actually happening, were going to have a baby."
Cook's thumb made its way on top of mine and started to make small circles on my skin. My eyes drifted up to the monitor again as I studied the little features. I counted all 10 fingers and all 10 toes, and watched her little foot kick or her move around in my belly. My eyes were scanning her facial features even though not all of them are noticeable, her little ear lobes and tiny nose that made a small ski jump, and her tiny figure all around. I nor Cook thought it was possible to love something so much and not even have her here yet.
"Hey," Cook finally whispered after a couple moments of silence, and reached his thumbs up to wipe the remanding tears off my cheeks as he spoke "I love you two so much, my two princesses." After he was done speaking he leaned down and planted a light kiss on my forehead, then my nose and finally my lips.
"I love you too."
