Her Russian

Chapter 67-It's a Boy!

Ilia couldn't remember a time when he was this happy.  Come to think of it, he'd never been this happy and it was amazing how the time flew by so quickly as well.

Galina had made it through her first trimester with no problems.  She had done everything that Dr. Markov expected of her and more.  She was always reading, anything she could get her hands on, she read.

Today marked the beginning of her second trimester and it was time for another sonogram.  Both he and Galina were very excited.  She had shared some things with him that she had read and the further along she was, the more they would be able to start feeling the baby.

Watching his wife as she stood at the bathroom mirror getting ready, he couldn't help but smile.  Walking to her, he slid his arms around her waist and splayed his large hands across her belly where her baby bump continued to grow.

"Good morning" she told him, a huge smile plastered on her beautiful face.  "And to you, detka" he responded.  "How is our little one this morning?" Ilia asked.

"Hmm, he's starting to become a lot more active" she replied as she placed her hands on top of Ilia's.  Galina had not told him that today would be the day they would find out the sex of their child.  

"Being pregnant with our child has certainly made you more beautiful, although I swore up and down there was nothing that you could do for that to be possible.  I guess I was wrong" Ilia told her, his mouth against her neck as he spoke.

"Well Mr. Savin" Galina said, turning to face her husband.  "Flattery will most certainly get you anything and everything you could possibly want."  She was toying with him, but he didn't mind.  Not at all.

Pulling the strap of her nighty down, Ilia kept concentrating on her glowing skin, as his mouth continued to tease her.  "Anything and everything?" he asked, his voice now husky.  She nodded.

"Well I definitely am up for exploring that" he responded.  "But not right now.  When I take you, I don't want to be rushed.  I want to take my time kissing every beautiful inch of your delectable body and when I'm done, you will know that I was here."  Oh my!

"I will hold you to that, baby" she told him.  Reluctantly Ilia pulled away so his wife could finish getting ready.  He hadn't voiced to her that he was excited about this sonogram.  He had made it a mission to be as involved as humanly possible in this pregnancy, and he had.

Ilia thought about all the different changes he'd seen in his wife.  Her hair and nails were longer, her skin had this amazing glow to it, her sex drive had definitely increased and her breasts were filling out wonderfully.  Those he could play with all day if given the chance.

The most wondrous thing of all, was she hadn't had any incidents with her heart.  She still took her medicine, like she was supposed to, but no instances of her passing out or having any irregular heartbeats and that's what made him start to relax more.  

He felt that her health was not an issue anymore and that they both could settle in and enjoy this new life change for them both.

Ilia heard her call to him from the bathroom.  "I'm here babe" he called back out to her.  She came out with a frown on her face, looking sad.  

"Galina what's wrong?" he asked a little concerned.  She waved her hands in front of her body and said "I look fat."  She then pouted and it was the cutest thing that Ilia had ever seen.  He had to hold back the laugh that was building.

"You most certainly do not look fat" he told her.  "This is our baby growing in here" he said now standing behind her, rubbing her belly.

"This is what pure beauty looks like, little kot.  I provided the seed and you gave our child life.  You are not fat.  Your belly is swollen with our child and that's the most magnificent thing I've ever seen.

Now, don't wrinkle up your pretty little face.  We are going to have a wonderful day and as soon as we are done with the doctor, I have a surprise for you" he said excitedly.

His words put a smile on his wife's face and everything was right with the world again.  Grabbing her hand, they headed down the stairs and out of the house, walking towards the medical facility.

"Good morning you two!" Dr. Markov greeted them with a smile.  "Are we ready to see how our little one is progressing?"  Ilia and Galina both nodded as she took her place up on the table.

Dr. Markov provided her with a light blanket to throw over her waist so she could lift up her dress and not be embarrassed.  

"I apologize in advance" he said while holding a bottle of gel.  "It will be cold at first but then it should warm up fairly quickly.  Ready?"  Galina nodded while he squirted the gel on her belly.

"Yikes" she said at the first sensation of the mass on her stomach.  She and Ilia watched as Markov moved the wand around on her belly, getting measurements and images and whatever else he needed to look at.

"Ilia" Galina said looking at her husband.  "What is it baby?" he replied.  "Well" she started.  "There was something about today's appointment that I kind of didn't tell you."

Ilia wrinkled his brow at her statement.  "What do you mean?" he asked, still confused.  "Today we get to find out what we are having!" she announced excitedly.

Ilia's eyes got round with surprise.  "You mean?"  She nodded.  "Yes.  Dr. Markov, what are we having?" Galina asked the man.

Moving the wand around a little more, he finally landed on something of interest and pointed to the screen.

"You see the baby's legs here?" he asked, showing them the image.  They nodded.  "Okay, well look right here between them.  See this?  That's a penis.  Congratulations!  You're having a boy!"

Galina watched Ilia's eyes close and when they opened again, they were glistening with tears.  Tear of joy, he assured her as they both continued to look at the monitor.

She had done it for him.  She had given him his heir.  They were having a little boy.  Aleksei Nikolai Savin.  Their baby.  Their child.  Their son.

After Markov gave some additional instructions, actually more of the same, rest, eat and sleep as much as possible, he gave them the print outs of the sonogram pictures and sent the happy couple on their way.

Walking hand-in-hand back to the main house, Ilia stopped their forward movement and pulled his wife to him, crashing his mouth down on hers, he kissed the breath from both their bodies.

Running her fingers along her lips, Galina said "Wow.  What was that for?"  "Do I need a reason to kiss my wife?" he asked jokingly.  She playfully slapped his arm and said "Of course not silly.  I love when you kiss me and you never have to have a reason.  I love how your lips feel on mine."

Kissing her one more time, they continued walking to the house.  Before they stepped inside, Ilia revealed his surprise to Galina.

"Can you be packed fairly quickly?" he asked.  He could tell she had questions but she nodded.  "Good.  We are leaving for Moscow as soon as you can get ready.  We are going to visit my mom for a few days."

Grinning, she threw her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly.  He watched her ascend the stairs and disappear at the top.

He was looking forward to giving his mom the great news.  He'd known for some time that she wanted grandchildren and now he was giving her one.  A boy.  A little son.  His son.  He just shook his head and the amazement and wonder of it all.  He, Ilia Savin, was going to be a father.
