I've Got A Bulletproof Heart (sequel)

14 - Why Don't You Say So

Cole POV

"Okay, Cole. Would you like to know the sex?" Doctor Altman asked. I'm twenty weeks along now.

"We don't, Cassie does. So, if you could print out a picture for her with the gender on it, that would be great." I said, looking at Cassie. Mikey and I decided that we wanted Cassie to know, and we would find out at our baby shower.

"Okay." She said and printed out a normal ultrasound picture for me and Mikey. We left and she gave Cassie her picture. Cassie walked out of the building and met us at our car.

"Do you know what it is?" I asked. She nodded. "Don't tell us."

"I'm not. Just remember, your baby shower is Saturday." She said. I hugged her and got in the car. I gently rubbed circles on my stomach. We got home and sat down on the couch.

"Hi, Baby." I said. "I wish you had a name so I didn't have to call you 'baby'. But, soon you'll have a name. In a few months, I'll get to meet you. I love you."

"You talk to the baby?" Mikey asked.

"Everyday. And baby Way has ears now, so it can hear me."

"It has ears?" He asked, shocked.

''Babies develop ears at sixteen weeks, I'm at twenty. You can talk to it, if you want to."

"Really?"

"It is your baby. You can talk to it, feel it, whatever you want." I said. He put his hand on my stomach.

"Uh, hi. I'm your dad. I wish you were here, so I could actually talk to you. I can't wait to meet you. I love you." He said.

"That was sweet." I said. He kissed me. "I love you. I seriously love you.

"I seriously love you, too."

Saturday finally rolled around. I looked down at my stomach. "Today, I finally get to find out what you are. Okay, Baby."

"You ready to go?" Mikey asked me. I nodded and walked out to the car. We drove to the Iero house, in comfortable silence. We got there and sat in the car for a minute. "Are you ready?"

I looked at my baby bump, then at Mikey. "Yeah."

We got out of the car and Cassie ran outside. "Are you ready to find out the gender of your magical little unicorn?"

"Yes." I said, and looked at Mikey. He nodded. Cassie squealed and pulled us inside. Everything was pink and purple.

"Your magical little unicorn is a girl, my Pixies. Feel the magic, and embrace it."

I looked at Mikey. "It's a girl." He smiled and kissed me.

"Yes, my Pixies. The little miracle stretching Cole's stomach to the size of a watermelon is a little bundle of pink glitter. Enjoy it while it lasts." Cassie said. I hugged her.

"I love you. You know that right?" I said.

"You're about to love me even more. Hayley!" Hayley walked in the room and hugged me.

"I'm back." She said, in a sing-song voice.

"It's about time." I said.

"There is no way I was missing you having a baby."

"Thank you." I said.

The shower slowly ended. We got a lot of clothes. People must have known that I hate pink, because none of the clothes were pink.

"So, it's a girl." Mikey said, as I taped an ultrasound picture to the wall.

"It's a girl." I repeated.

"Now we have to name her."

"Can't we just do this how Frank and Cassie did it and have someone else name her?"

"That works." Mikey agreed.

"How about tomorrow we get our California family and they can give us ideas."

"Perfect." Mikey said.

Baby Way is a girl! Get excited!
