3 months pregnant

Zach and I sat in the doctors office waiting for Dr.Rains. "I hope Dr.Rains gets here soon. I really have to pee." I said crossing my legs. "I'm sure he will be here soon." Zach said patting my leg.

A few minutes later Dr.Rains walked in. "Layla I got the papers from that hospital in Pennsylvania. I am so sorry that I did not look carefully at your ultrasound." He said looking at my files.

"It is ok. The doctor told us it was a easy mistake." I said with a reassuring smile. "Well I still feel bad. So did they ever catch the bastard that shot you." He asked setting up the ultrasound. Zach and I looked at each other.

"Actually they never found him. They are still searching for him." Zach said looking down at the ground. I put my hand on top of his. "We are just glad that the babies were not harmed." I said smiling at Zach.

The doctor looked at the both of us. "So are you guys together now?" He said putting on gloves. We looked at each other and smiled. "Yes." We said in unison. "Well that's good. I am happy for you both." He said with a smile.

"Ok Layla lay down and lift your shirt please." I did as the doctor said. He spread the gel on my stomach. He placed the ultrasound on my stomach and moved it around. "Ok here's baby one the boy." Dr.Rains said pointing at the screen.

Zach and I looked at he the screen in aw. "And here is baby two the girl." Zach squeezed my hand. I looked up at him and smiled.

Dr.Rains wiped the gel off my stomach and I pulled down my shirt. "Ok so this is the magical time in the pregnancy the 2nd trimester." We looked at the doctor and nodded. "This is the point in the pregnancy when you will start to feel the babies kick." I looked at the doctor and smiled. "Really!" "Yes and your morning sickness should start to go away." The doctor said printing out the ultrasound pictures.

"But you will start to notice stretch marks on you abdomen, breast, and butt." My smiled disappeared. "You may also get headaches."

I whispered in Zach's ear. "Just when I thought the worst was over." He laughed and kissed me on the top of my head . "Nothing a little coco butter and Advil won't fix." He said with a smile.

Dr.Rains gave us the pictures and some brochures and we were on are way.

Back at home

Zach and I sat on the couch watching Modern Family. I was laying on Zach and he had his arm wrapped around me. "We should start thinking of names now that we know the genders." Zach said looking down at me.

"I think that you should name the girl and I can name the boy." I said pulling the covers over my shoulders. "That seems fair. Well I would name the girl... Joslyn." He said with a smile.

"I like that name it's original." "So what would you name the boy?" Zach asked curious. I sat up and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Well I have been thinking about it and I decided to name the baby boy........ John." I looked at Zach who started to tear up.

"After your father. John Quinto Jr. We could even call him JJ for short." I said smiling up at him. He smiled and wiped his eyes.

"You have put a lot of thought into it huh." He said with a smile. "Ya. Are you ok with it though?" I asked. "Ya of course I am ok with it." He said giving me a hug. He looked down at me. "Have I ever told you how much I love you?" I looked up at him. "Ya I just like to hear it every now and then."
