Shawn POV

I'm sitting at the house waiting for Bey to pick me up. Today is her doctors appointment and my first physical therapy session. I'm excited about the doctors appointment because I get to see my child for the first time and find out the sex. The last time I felt like this was when Vanessa was pregnant with Nahla, so it's been a while. My thoughts were interrupted by the horn blowing outside.

I grab my crutches and head to the door. After making sure the door was locked I head to the car.

"Hi baby" Bey kisses me once I'm situated.

"Hey babe. How was your day?"

"It was good. Oh and Miss. Sheila is watching Nahla for us until we're done. Something came up and Michelle couldn't do it anymore."

"That's fine. Hopefully she'll have cooked something, she can throw down."

"Your so fat" Bey laughs.

"Like your not going to get a plate if she does"

"You right" I laugh. "But that's because I'm eating for two people."

"Yeah blame it on the baby" I say.

"Shut up" she says while playfully hitting me. "So are you excited?" Bey asks with a big grin on her face.

"Yeah I am, you?"

"Yes! I can't wait to find out about our little princess"

"It's a boy though"

"It's definitely a girl but I'll just let you think that."

We rode in a comfortable silence the rest of the way to the doctors office. We entered the office and while Bey signed in I took a sit in the waiting room. While I waited I just looked around the waiting room, I turned my head and noticed Bey walking towards me with a mean mug.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask while chuckling.

"That bitch up there had a bad attitude. She lucky I'm pregnant or I would have snatched her ugly ass up" she says with attitude.

I look over to the receptionist desk where the girl was and laughed.

"Babe calm down" I say while rubbing her thigh "Our son got you all feisty. I don't know whether to be scared or turned on" I say with a smirk.

Bey playfully smacks my arm while laughing. "Whatever and stop calling my princess a boy"

Before I could respond the nurse came out calling Bey's name.

"Mrs. Knowles?" The nurse calls while looking around.

"Right here" Bey responds while slightly lifting her hand. We get up and follow the nurse to the back.

"Okay if you could take off your shoes so I can weigh you"

I help Bey take off her shoes and then she steps on the scale.

"Alright your weighing in as 170, wow you have a healthy little baby in there" the nurse states.

"He's going to be a big baby like his father" I grin.

"She" Bey says while cutting her eyes at me.

The nurse laughs. "Y'all are too cute"

We follow her to the exam room and she lets us know the doctor would be in shortly. While waiting for the doctor we talked about my party this weekend. We were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Hello, how are you guys?" Dr. Livingston says while entering the room.

"Fine" we say simultaneously.

"Mr. Carter it's great to see you back" she says while washing her hands.

"Thanks" I respond.

"Alright if you could lift your shirt up and lie back for me we can get started."

Bey lays back and pulls her shirt up. Dr. Livingston rubs some of that gel stuff on her and puts the wand on her stomach.

"And there is your baby who is, from what I can see, very healthy"

While looking at the screen I couldn't help the tears that filled my eyes. I'm really about to be a father again. I feel Bey grab my hand and I smile up at her.

"Your about 28 weeks, 6 and a half months now. You still haven't felt any kicks yet?"

"No, still just small movements"

"Your child is a stubborn little one" Dr. Livingston chuckles. "It's no big deal though, it'll probably happen when you least expect it. Now let's hear that heartbeat and find out the sex, which I know you guys have been waiting on."

"Yes" we excitedly say.

After hearing our baby's heartbeat which was pretty strong Dr. Livingston moves the wand around to get a clear view for the sex.

"Well it looks like you two will be having a newborn baby girl"

"Yay" Bey say while clapping and grinning. "I told you"

"You did" I say with a big ass grin. Even though I wanted a boy I'm still happy as hell.

"I'm going to grab your pictures and I will see you guys next month."

"I can't wait to tell Nahla she's going to be a big sister" Bey says as I help her off the table. "And go shopping with my girls"

"Oh lord" I chuckle.

"Shawn are you excited because I know you really wanted a boy"

"Yes I did, but I'm excited about having another daughter, especially one with you" I say while kissing her lips and reassuring her.

"I love you"

"I love you too" I reply back.

"Babe I'm going to stop at Chic-fil-A before your appointment, want anything?" I look over at her. "What me and your daughter are hungry" she innocently says.

"I see how it's about to be the next couple of months, but no I'm good"

She stopped at Chic-fil-A and McDonalds, because she was craving a caramel frappe, and then headed to my appointment.
