My Best Friend

Chapter 21

A COUPLE MONTHS LATER: FAITH POV: I'm 6 months pregnant now, really showing. I'm still working my receptionist job over at the record label and have been doing some singing gigs at night, not every night but a couple of nights a week. I'm getting tired a lot more easily now. Tim is almost done with his first album and I'm really happy for him. I'm just wondering when I will have my break but than again being pregnant,I'm not sure it will happen. This has been my dream since I was a little girl. I hired that guy Gary I met when I performed at the local sports bar downtown Nashville as my manager.  He's become not just my manager but a friend. He's been working hard trying to get me recognized. I don't want my work to know, so he's been really good about keeping it on the down low for me. I'm afraid if they found out, I'd get fired. I'm at work when my phone rings. "Hi this is Faith" "Hi Faith, its Gary" "oh Hi Gary, whats up?" "Well I got you a spot to sing at the bluebird" "oh my god really?" "yes!" I couldn't be too loud being at work. "Thats amazing, thank you. When is it?" "Friday night. Well tomorrow" "WOW! I will be there, thank you so much" I said and hung up. I couldn't stop smiling. I called Tim. "Hello" "hey guess what?" "what is it?" "I got a spot to sing at the Bluebird" "oh thats great baby, congratsulations" "thanks I'm hoping this will be my big break" "I'm very happy for you honey" "Will you be there?" "Of course, I wouldn't miss it" "okay well I gotta get back to work, see you later" "Okay I love you" "Love you too" Than I hung up. I couldn't wait for work to be over, so I could go home. I do have a doctors appointment after work though. Okay quitting time! I left work for my doctors appointment. Once I got there, I was brought back. After the nurse did her thing, she left the room. I've been sitting here longer than usual before the doctor came in. "hello Faith" "Hello" "so how have you been feeling?" "Great" "so no more morning sickness" "nope I haven't had in a couple of months or so" "Okay that's good" He did his exam. "I'm also going to do an ultrasound today" "Oh okay" He got the machine, and put the gel on my stomach and than moved the wand around. He put the heart sound thing on. "Thats your baby's heartbeat, Its very good and strong" I smiled "so do you want to know the sex?" I thought about it, I know Tim and I talked about it being a surprise, but I kinda really want to know now. "Can I think about for a couple of minutes?" "Sure, I will print out a couple of pictures for you" "thanks" I than texted Tim asking him if he'd like to know the sex. He texted back saying if I wanted to know, than it's fine. I know he wants to know. "Doctor Morrison, yes we wanna know. Well Tim and I" "okay than, you are having a boy" I was so excited! I got my ultrasound pictures and left. I was going to call Tim, than thought I'd surprise him. I got home at the same time he did. "hey baby" "hello" He gave me a kiss. "okay sit" "alright" "here" I handed him the ultrasound pictures. "so I want you to guess if you can tell the sex of the baby" "Okay" he than looked carefully. "I can't tell" I laughed "well do you wanna know?" "yeah I do" "it's a boy" Really? a boy?" "YES!" He had the biggest smile on his face. He than hugged me.
