*6 months later*
I pull a shirt over my head and it gets stuck half way down. I groan and pull it off. I grab one of Connors shirt and put it on. It fits over my stomach perfectly. I could fit in most of my shirts up until a few weeks ago. I should have know better than to try to wear one today. I put on some maternity jeans and slide on my vans. I just let my hair flow naturally down my back.
It's mid September so Beth at school. I have a doctors appointment at 2:30. It's 2:15 now. It only takes 5 minutes to get there so I'm in no hurry. I'm finding out the gender of the baby today. I was suppose to find out last month but he/she wouldn't show themselves. So I'm 7months pregnant and I still don't know the gender of my baby. I have a feeling it's a girl. Well, actually I'm hoping it's a girl.
I grab a cookie from the pack and dip it in peanut butter. Connor and Beth always give me a weird look when I do this but it's for the baby not me. I hated peanut butter before I got pregnant. Now, I go through a jar a day. I grab the truck keys and my phone then head out the door. I get in and start driving.
I walk in the waiting room and sign myself in then sit down. It usually doesn't take them long to call me back.
"Katie Addison!"
I get up and walk through the door. The nurse weighs me then asks me all the normal questions. She takes me into a room and tells me that she'll be back.
Connor usually comes with me but he had to work overtime today. He works at the Pepsi plant and he gets payed 12 dollars an hour so I'm not complaining at all. We've grown back together over these last few months. He's proved that I can trust him again. We're even dating now.
The door opens and the doctor walks in. She smiles at me and starts taking out the ultrasound machine.
"No daddy today?"
"He had to work."
She just nods and pulls up my shirt. She puts the jell like stuff on my stomach and starts moving the thing around. I hear the babies heart beat and smile. I watch on the screen as she tries to find out which gender the baby is.
After a few minutes she stops and says,"Its a boy!"
I smile huge and say," Yay!"
"I'll print some pictures out so you can show Connor."
"Thank you."
She hands me the pictures then leaves. I wipe the jell off my stomach then go check out at the desk. They give me my next appointment then I leave. I get in the truck and check the time, 3:13. Shit, Beth gets out of school in 2 minutes. I start the truck and start driving.
I reach the school at 3:20 and Beth is standing there, talking to a friend. Thank god she wasn't alone. She sees me and runs over. She gets in the truck and I make sure she's buckled up before driving away.
"How was school?"
"Awesome! I got a sticker for helping the new girl to the bathroom. Isn't that cool?!"
"It's very cool. I'm proud of you!"
"Is it a boy or girl?"
"Boy."
"Ewhhh boys have germs and cooties."
I laugh and say," That's not true. Connor doesn't."
She just giggles. I laugh in return.
I help her out of the truck and we walk to the front door. I unlock the door then open it. She runs in and goes to her room. I walk in the house and shut the door behind me.
I start walking to the bathroom when I notice that the nursery light is on. I raise my eyebrows and open the door. The smell of paint overwhelms me and hold onto the wall. I step in the room and notice it's painted all blue. Theres a crib out together and a pack-n-play. I walk further inside and smile. I feel arms go around me and I look back to see Connor.
"Do you like what to did?"
"Yes but how'd you know?"
"I called the doctors office after you left."
"I love you."
He kisses my cheek and says," I love you too but there's more."
He let's go and I turn to face him. He smiles then gets down on one knee.
"I know this isn't romantic or anything but I love you so much. I just couldn't wait any longer. So Katie Marie, will you marry me"
"Yes, of course, yes."
