"Hello, nice to see you." I smiled brightly sitting down on the bed, out of breath.
"Nice to see you,too. Ready to know the gender?" He chuckled.
I smiled shyly, "Yeah. I'm excited to know."
"Alright, just lay down and reveal your stomach for me." I did just that.
He squeezed gel onto my stomach, I shuddered. "Cold?" He asked. I giggled, "Yeah."
He smiled warmly, and began the ultrasound.
"And, here..." He pointed towards the screen "Is a vagina, it's a girl." He smiled.
"Really? Oh my gosh!" I squealed. He took a picture, pressing a few buttons, it printed towards the bottom along with others.
He raised the device up and I saw her face on the screen. "She's beautiful..." I said in awe.
He stared at me, his eyes twinkling as he saw my amazement with my daughter.
He chuckled a bit, I looked at him. "What's so funny?"
"You." He said bluntly, my eyes widened a bit. "You're beautiful." He said resting his eyes on mine.
I smiled and looked away. "Don't say that, I'm not."
"Yeah, you are. Look, I'd really like to take you out on a date. I really like you, from the moment I saw you walking into my office by yourself. Please, let me there for you and your daughter." He bit his lip as he looked into my eyes. He caressed my face with his hand, his thumb stroking my cheek. I flushed. Then, I remembered Taehyun. My smile fell. He pulled away, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't of done that." He cleared his throat. "Let's finish this up and get some beautiful pictures of your daughter, shall we?" He smiled, but not as bright more... embarrassed.
"Yeah..." I said confused.
----
"What is it?" Mrs. Nam yelled running towards me.
"A girl." I said excited.
"Congratulations!" She hugged me tight. "Did you get any pictures?" She pulled away.
I took them out of my purse, "Yeah." I smiled nervously. Your grandchild.
She looked at them and gasped, "She's so beautiful! I can't wait to meet her! Oh my gosh, congratulations! I always wanted a girl." She sulked. "Please, have your baby here with us. I'll take care of her while you work. Please, please, please. It's about time Taehyun got some practice being a father. Since, evidently he isn't going to give me any grandchildren soon and his brother... let's not even go there." She rolled her eyes.
"Naneun jib imnida (I am home)" A deep husky voice entered the room. I heard him drop his shoes. He looked at me and then at my stomach, "annyeonghasseyo (Hello)" He smirked bowing. I felt my daughter bounce in my stomach, as she heard his voice. Does she know?
"Annyeonghaseyo (Hello)" I bowed only halfway, my stomach stopped me.
"Ah! Taehyun! Ulineun dangsin ae daehae yaegihaessda (We were just talking about you)" His mother smiled.
He smiled cockily, "Oh, were you?" He replied in english looking at me.

"Yeah, well I have things to do so, I'll see you in 2 months when the baby is born? I am invited to go right?" She smiled hopefully.
"Uhm, Yes." I smiled with my eyes at her, tearing my eyes from him.
"Okay, Taehyun show her what we have set up for her baby! Go on!"
He rolled his eyes, "Eomma (Mom) Geunyeoneun uliui hanyeo ibnida (She is our maid)"
She tsked, "She has done everything for you, you idiot! Go. I'm not asking you again."
"Fine. Let's go." He said finally, she rolled her eyes and left, leaving us alone.
"Are you ever going to tell her that's her grandson?" He said coldly, walking towards the room.
I followed behind. "Are you ever going to step up and be a father? Didn't think so." I rolled my eyes, staring at him. I turned away and I made my way to the door.
He looked back sensing I wasn't following, he groaned, "I'm going to do a show." He said desperately.
I stopped staring at the door, "What does that have to do me?" I sighed, raising a brow.
"It's a kid's show. Me and the winner guys are going to take care of kids." He said fast.

I turned around, "Let's not make it seem like you care. You don't. The moment I told you, you ran. I only came back because your mother asked for pictures of her." I covered my mouth.
"So... it's a girl then." He smiled at the floor.
I sighed, "Yeah, it is."
"I hope she doesn't meet someone like me." His voice laced with sadness, he kept his face down.
"I hope so too." Hoping to get to see his face, I took one last look at him before I managed to the get the courage to leave. A tear slipped down my cheek, I rubbed my belly. I hope you never have to feel this pain.
