I watched Nick nod his head, answering the doctor's question about wanting to find out the sex of our baby & I let out a breath. "Yea, I guess we do want to know." I replied, watching Nick's face as he looked down, quickly, then leaned on his hand.
"Okay, then. It looks like you're going to have..." The doctor said as he moved the wand around on my stomach.
I put my hand up, suddenly. "Stop! Wait. Don't say it." I shouted out, scaring Nick & the doctor & making them jump. Both of them looked at me, curiously. "I want it to be a surprise. I'm sorry. I changed my mind."
"You did?" Nick asked.
"I can see it in your eyes that you don't want to know. I got to do this before & you haven't, so we can wait & be surprised."
A huge grin spread across Nick's face as he leaned to kiss my smile. "I love you. Thank you, sweetie."
"Anything for you, Babe." I said, still smiling, broadly.

The doctor cleared his throat & we both looked at him. "How about I take a photo of the gender reveal & seal it in an envelope & you two can open it later, if you change your mind or open it after to see if it was right." He chuckled & Nick looked at me, his eyebrows up.
"You can do that?" I asked, chuckling.
"Sure. I do it all the time these days. So many people are having gender reveal parties, that it's actually pretty common."
Nick & I smiled at each other, then I let out a giddy sound. "Yea, let's do that." A few minutes later, the doctor was handing me the envelope, which I slipped into my purse, then he handed me the other ultrasound photos that he took. I studied them as Nick drove us home. I was studying them so much that Nick started laughing.
"Are you trying to determine if it's a boy or girl by studying its face?" He asked, only glancing at me since he was driving.
I laughed & shook my head. "I'm just in awe. We can actually see what it looks like. Sorta. I mean we can see its tiny little mouth & its hands. Oh my gosh, I can't wait til it gets here."
"If you really don't want to wait we can look at the envelope."
"No. I want to wait because I know it's what you want. This will be exciting."
Nick nodded, then drove us home, where I attacked him, as soon as we got in the house. I was still feeling incredibly frisky, but Nick didn't mind since he was leaving in a day to go back on tour. I was going to enjoy as much of him & his body as I could, before he left.
While Nick was home, we had a great time. That evening, after my appointment, we took Moira to dinner, then to a movie. It was an exciting night because, for the first time, Nick was recognized by fans. It was so cute watching the young girls gush over my husband, then they fussed over Moira & congratulated me on being pregnant. I could see the envy in their eyes, too, which made me feel even more amazing. And by amazing, I meant horny. When I saw an older woman, who was one of the younger girl's mother, come over to take a picture with Nick, I felt myself get really warm & it wasn't because I was jealous of her. The way she looked at Nick, made me want him even more, because I could see how bad she wanted him.
