The Teachers Assistant

chapter 11 part 2

I make my way over to the waiting room with my whole entourage behind me. I had brought Mark, of course, Dean, Casper, and Sofia. I was lucky because they told me they were able to push the appointment up a week because of cancellations due to the holiday break. Technically I was 16 weeks, tomorrow, but whatever close enough. It's not like baby is going to grow a Twinkie overnight.

Dean and Casper had captured one of the demons and had chained him to the basement in my house. I was a little freaked when they came home with a strange man in millions of chains. They assured me there was no way for him to get out. That still didn't make me feel any better.

We all sit down and all the other ladies in there are staring at us. I could only imagine what was going through their heads. Maybe something along the lines like this, they saw Mark and me holding hands so we were obviously together and then they could assume that Casper was my ex and so was Dean and Sofia was one of their current girlfriends. Hahaha if only, I'm glad my life wasn't that difficult.

"Everett Carter." the nurse says pulling me out of my train of thought.

"Oh wow you have a big party don't you?" the nurse teases.

"Yeah as you can tell this baby will be loved." I say smiling.

We go into the room and I lay down on the reclining chair and we all wait for the technician to come in. After only ten minutes of a lingering silence she walks in.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Hello my name is Julie. So this is also an anatomy scan to check baby's growth as well as a gender reveal so this can take about twenty minutes." she tells us in advance.

She takes out the jelly and I lift my shirt up exposing my ever growing belly. She pores the jelly on my stomach and I flinch at how cold it was. She starts clicking away at the computer and ten agonizing minute later she pauses the screen and points.

"Any guesses?" she asks.

I look around and everyone looks confused.

"Well, that isn't a third leg you're looking at, it's a penis. Which means this definitely is a boy." she says.

I look at Mark who is just breaking with excitement along with Dean and Casper. Sofia though looks a little disappointed.

"I knew I had it in me to make a boy." Mark says. We all start laughing.

"Hey he has a huge..."

I slap Dean hard in the gut and he looks at me.

"Ok he got his huge penis from our side of the family." Dean says.

"Nah I mean I've got a-"

"Stop I don't want to hear this." I say to them.

"Ok he gets it from both.  He will be one happy little boy." Casper says

"All of you are so immature." Sofia says.

"Sorry but the reason his genitals are so swollen is from the increase in hormones from the mom. After birth the swelling should go down quite a bit." the tech says.

Sofia and I start laughing while the boys all look at each other shocked.

"Well it looks like baby boy is measuring a week and a half ahead. No biggie, he's just growing fast is all. This happens sometimes and then some weeks they don't grow very much at all. Everything looks great though so I can turn on the   3-D and we can get a better look at baby." She says.

She starts showing us all of baby then finally his face. It's when she showed me his face that I start tearing up. He was just so cute. From what I can tell he looked just like Mark.  It even looked like he had some hair. It helped me feel better that he had a somewhat resemblance to Mark because when she said a week and a half ahead that meant that Drake was in the running for being the father again which honestly didn't make me feel too good.

"Ok well I'll print these out for you and you guys can be on your way." she says.

.....

We get home and my brothers are automatically packing for another trip, this time to go to Colorado to hunt down a couple suspicious looking animal attacks.

Sofia had already gone home because she said she had a meeting with her wedding planner but we would meet tomorrow at babies R us to start buying everything baby related. Oh how fun that sounded, just kidding.

So right now it's only Mark and I at home. Since it was still the holiday break we still had three more days off to enjoy. I was kind of bummed though that my brothers wouldn't be here for thanksgiving but they said we could redo it when they got back.

I slump down on the couch and lay my head on the back of the couch. I close my eyes and relax enjoying the nice silence that was in the house. I feel Mark sit down next to me and by his silence I can tell something's on his mind.

"Spill, I know something's up. You're never this quite." I say. I open my eyes and peek at him.

I had started to get better at reading his eyes but every time I had it down it changed again. Like for a while I thought grey eyes meant serious, hungry, or love while dark blue meant confused, anxious, or fun. Light blue was usually playful and happy. Right now his eyes where at light blue which just erased everything I had thought.

He was just sitting there with his hands to his sides and a blank face staring off at nothing.

"I'm at a loss right now." he says in monotone.

I flinch because I think he's talking about when the tech said I was a week and a half early it meant that the baby could not be his.

"Is it about the baby?" I ask, I'm almost shaking I'm so nervous at this point.

"No and yes. I'm just wondering what my parents are going to say when they find out I got you pregnant, again." he tells me.

I relax, was that it because that wasn't that big of a deal.

"So you're not worried about the baby not being yours." I question.

"What, no." he puts his hands on my belly. "Right now I am looking at a little boy filled with happiness and a love for his mother you do not yet understand. I'm looking at a boy with eyes like yours but hair that is my color. I'm looking at a baby that has the strength of an ox and the courage to rebuild a nation. I'm looking at our son." he says.

I start tearing up at what he says. It was so filled with emotion and love for a child that wasn't even here yet. I smile and put my hands on top of Mark's.

"Is there a way I could see him?" I ask.

Mark looks at me. "Yes, but I won't show you. I won't show you because you get to have a bond with this child that me as a father will never have so just me being able to see him lets me have a bond of my own. So I could show you but I won't, I want you to be surprised the first time you see him." he says.

"Ok but back to your family, what is this issue?" I ask

"My parents wanted the typical life for me. Get married, to one of my own, and then have children. Not met a girl knock her up and not to mention a human girl from a family of hunters. The reason I got kicked out is because I told them I reconciled with you and told them I was in love with you." he tells me truthfully.

I hold his hand in mine and look him in his gorgeous grey eyes.

"Look I love you and if you want to go over to their house and talk with them I'd be happy to go with you. Mark I know that you and your family are close and I know it stresses you out to have a strain in your relationship like this. Plus it would be nice if your bank accounts would be unlocked for you to use again because having a baby is expense, plus I have three beasts as men living with me so I don't have very much money." I tell him

He looks at me and leans in to kiss my forehead. "I love you, I really do. How about we surprise them by showing up on thanksgiving.  It's a big deal at my house and they have never met you before so it should be interesting." he replies.

"Sounds great only one problem." I say.

"What's that?" he asks, looking at me concerned.

"What dish should I bring over?" I question. We both start laughing, but all in all I really didn't know what to bring over to a house full of vampires.

Hope you enjoyed.... yup it's definitely a boy.
