69.

I'm trying to finish this story, lol

:griffin:

I sigh and roll over once again, looking at the clock and seeing it's 1:30 in the morning. I blow out a puff of air, and place my hand over my stomach, the baby non-stop kicking me. They're not necessarily painful, but they're annoying as hell.

"Are you awake?" Austin asks, his voice groggy.

"Yes" I sigh.

"Why? What's wrong?" Austin asks.

"He keeps kicking me" I frown, and he smiles.

"He, huh?" He chuckles, and I cover my face, not even realizing I called her she "Lay on your back?" He tells me, and I do, looking up at the ceiling. Austin crawls under the blanket, putting his hand on my stomach. I hear light mumbles, and furrowing my eyebrows in confusion, I lift up the blanket.

"What are you doing?" I ask, and he looks up at me.

"Excuse me, this is a conversation between me and my baby. So please, respect the privacy" He sasses and I laugh, dropping the blanket.

"So listen Bug, mommy needs her sleep because she gets a little... mood when she doesn't sleep and you want to save daddy from that, don't you?" He asks, and I smile when I feel a kick against my stomach where Austin's hand is "I knew you did Ladybug, you get some rest too. I love you" He kisses my belly and crawls back towards me, resting his head on the pillow. He smiles at me, and kisses my lips, sliding one of his hands into mine.

"Ladybug, huh?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah, because our little baby is a girl"

"I don't want a girl" I admit, and Austin sits up, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Why?"

"Because, I want a boy" I shrug, and he kisses my forehead.

"There's no way it's a boy" He chuckles "And I'm always right, so" He says. He wraps his arm around my waist, kissing my shoulder lightly.

"I can't wait for our baby to be born" He whispers into my ear.

"Me neither" I agree "Only two more months"

"Ugh, I know. Can we please ask if we're having a boy or girl?" He begs "I wanna know" He whines.

"I know, we can ask tomorrow" I nod "Goodnight"

"Goodnight Baby, I love you"

"I love you"

The next morning, I wake up and get dressed, having to meet with Richard today. I made an appointment three months after Thanksgiving, simply because I wanted time to prepare for his annoying attitude.

I kiss Austin on the cheek, and send him a text to let him know where I am, and that I'll be back so we can go to our appointment.

I use his car and drive to Richard's office, just walking straight back. I knock on his door, and hearing a quiet "Come in"

I turn the door knob, and walk in seeing his writing in his journal "Let's get this shit over with Richard" I sit down, crossing my legs.

He looks up from his notebook, his eyes widening when he sees me. I give him a sarcastic smile "My eyes are up here" I raise an eyebrow, and he clears his throat.

"Congratulations, how far along?" He asks.

"How far along with what?" I ask.

"Your pregnancy"

"I'm not pregnant" I shake my head, and his eyes widen.

"I-I'm so-"

"Chill, I'm just fucking with you" I roll my eyes "Now, why am I here?" I ask.

"Well, your mom called, and told me she was worried because you were acting out"

"Acting out how?" I ask, running my tongue over my front teeth, raising an eyebrow.

"She said you moved out with your boyfriend, you stopped calling, you're swearing at her, and you did 'ungodly things' that she didn't want to tell me" He used air quotes around ungodly things.

"Well, did she tell you what she did?" I ask, and he shakes his head "She let that prick that did 'ungodly things' back into our house, telling me to suck it up and to stop overreacting. So tell me, what would you do?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I'm so sorry, I was not told that"

"Didn't think so" I shrug "But either way, her reasons to worry, were stupid. I'm 21, I shouldn't be at home anyways, should I be pregnant? Probably not, it wasn't planned but I'm not upset, in fact, I'm thrilled. But I wish she'd leave me the fuck alone because I'm done with her and her shit" I shrug, standing up and walking out of his office.

I text Austin and tell him to be ready because our appointment is in a half an hour. When I pull up outside of the apartment, he's already waiting for me, and I smile at him as he gets into the passenger seat, kissing my cheek before putting his seat belt on.

"How was Richard's?" He asks.

"I hate my mother" I roll my eyes, pulling off and driving to the doctors "My mother called him because I wasn't listening to her, like who the hell is she?"

"She's just upset she can't control you anymore"

"I know" I huff, pulling into the parking lot of the doctors. We walk in and take the elevator up to the floor, making it just in time for my appointment. We're pulled back after I sign in, getting all my vitals checked, as well as the measurement of my stomach.

"So, we can find out today?" Austin asks.

"Yeah, I think I've made you wait long enough"

"Yeah, 7 months"

"Technically 2, because we wouldn't have known the first 4 months"

"Same thing" He chuckles.

Dr. Hixson comes in, and starts the ultrasound "Would you like to know the gender yet?" He asks.

"Yes" Austin answers before I can, and I laugh, nodding.

"It looks like you're having a girl" He smiles, Austin cheering a quiet 'yes', while I have tears fill my eyes.

And they're not happy tears.

a/n: Thoughts on why she's not happy? It'll be revealed next chapter, I just want to see what y'all are thinking.
