That's When I Knew

"Chassidy this is ridiculous," Reba mumbled towards her daughter who was holding onto her legs as she knelt down in front of Reba's belly.

"Hi, baby sister." Chassidy mused as she pressed her face up against Reba's belly, the cloth from Reba's silk black shirt grazing against her cheek. Rolling her head back in annoyance, Reba tugged away trying to break free of her daughters grasp.

"You talked to Jadyn when I was pregnant, now it's my turn." She stated sternly as she pushed Reba's blouse up, revealing her bare belly, and her growing bump.

"Why do you hide this perfection?" Chassidy questioned in astonishment as she took a second to look up at Reba, who was now glaring back down at her.

"Please pull my shirt back down," Reba answered in a monotone voice, ignoring Chassidy's question. Reba had been up the night before, with morning sickness yet again, and to say the least wasn't in a very playful mood.

"It's gender time!" Shawna called out as she entered the living room of her childhood home, immediately breaking out into a laugh when she found her sister kneeling into her mom's bare stomach.

"I go to the bathroom and your already trying to convince our sister that you're the favorite." Shawna teased as she handed Reba her black leather purse and held her hand out, helping Chassidy to her feet. Today was Reba's gender reveal doctors appointment. She had made sure to schedule it today so that both of her daughters could accompany her, Chassidy would be leaving later that night as she'd only flown back to Nashville with Reba for the appointment, but she had made sure to not and miss this.

"If it's a boy we're turning him gay," Chassidy mumbled as the three of them headed for the front door, causing Reba to crack a smile for the first time that morning.

"Are we ready to find out what this healthy little one is?" The young OBGYN questioned as she smiled down at Reba, who's blouse was pulled all the way up to her chin, eyes glued to the monitor.

"We are!" Chassidy and Shawna answered in unison, as they held each other's hands. Reba giggled softly, rolling her head to the side in her daughter's direction.

"We all are." She reported sweetly, as she scooted up a bit on the hospital bed, putting her left arm behind her head.

"Looks like you have yourself a little girl." The doctor announced with excitement as she moved the probe around towards the left side of Reba's belly where her little girl appeared to be sleeping.

"Seriously?" Chassidy asked in relief. They'd made so many jokes about the baby being a girl that she was almost certain, just to spite them she'd have another little brother. Not that she would have minded having another little brother, she just wanted a little sister more.

"Scouts honor." The woman smiled back as she finished monitoring the baby and took out Kleenexes for Reba to clean up her stomach.

"How do we know you were in the Scouts?" Shawna questioned incredulously as she held on to Reba's arm, who proceeded to shift into a sitting poison.

"Why does everyone swear by the Scouts?" Reba mumbled under a laugh, before managing to fully sit up. 

"It doesn't matter, as long as she's sure she doesn't have a wiener," Chassidy added with an excited smile as she watched the young OBGYN laugh under her breath, jotting down some notes on her iPad.

"There's no 'wiener', I have four brothers, I'd never lie about something like this." She said holding up her right perfectly manicured hand, as a salute.
