guarding my angel || "guardian angel" sequel

24

**Bailey's POV**

I run another washcloth under hot water and ring it out so it doesn't drip. As I walk back towards Victoria, who's laying on the couch, I fold it so it will feel nice on her forehead.

"Drink your water, it'll help," I tell her and place my hand on her shoulder. She closes her eyes and I see her bite her lip to keep from crying.

It's been 3 weeks since Victoria ran to my house telling me that she and Johnny broke up, and she's a depressed mess. I haven't seen Johnny since, so I don't know how he's doing, but I really hope he's taking the breakup better than Victoria is.

Alex, Lauren, and Kayla are coming over later today with the babies so we can go get check-ups with our baby doctors. I'm excited because I get to find out my baby's gender today, but I know Victoria is dreading her appointment. At least with Two-Bit, I have another set of income to help me and the baby; we haven't heard from Johnny since the day he ran from the apartment.

It's been pretty awkward with the gang since the break-up. All of the boys took Johnny's side, and I guess that's fair since Victoria was the one who dumped him. Alex, though, is caught in the middle. Of course she loves Victoria, but she has such a special bond with Johnny. Plus, he's been staying with them last I heard.

I walk back into the kitchen, and see Kayla's car pull into the driveway. Her, Alex, Lauren, and Jessica climb out, get the babies, and come to the door.

"Hey, how is she?" Kayla asks when I open the door.

"She's okay," I say, and guide them to where Victoria is laying on the couch.

"Hey honey," Lauren says and sits next to Victoria. Victoria leans against her and Lauren rubs her shoulder.

"We're going to go to the clinic today, to get the babies checked on," she tells her. Victoria slowly nods. Kayla and Alex keep a safe distance, but both say hi to her. They're really the only people who have seen both Johnny and Victoria over the last few weeks.

"We'd better get going," Lauren says, and helps Victoria stand up. We get ourselves into two cars, and head for the clinic.

When we get there, we meet at the front and walk in together. We all separately check in, and wait for the doctors to call us.

I get called first, and wave to everyone as I follow a doctor back to a pink room. I lay back on a big chair, pull my shirt up so my belly is exposed, and wait for my doctor.

"Hi Bailey!" Dr. Kyle says. I smile at him as he closes the door and picks up his clipboard.

"Today's the big day," he says, turning on the ultra sound machine. "Are you ready to find out the baby's gender?"

"I certainly am," I say with a smile.

"Well, give me just a few moments," he says as he puts goo on my stomach and presses the machine around.

"If you could look right here, that's your baby's head," he says, pointing to the screen. "And there's the legs and arms..."

I stare in aw at my baby on the screen. The doctor does the usual check for anything abnormal about the baby, but everything is going perfectly.

"Alright, so everything looks really good, your baby is doing wonderful and growing just like we would've hoped," Dr. Kyle says. "The baby should start moving around any day now, so if you feel weird movements, it's just the baby starting to use the new muscles that are beginning to grow."

"Great," I reply, watching the screen. Dr. Kyle looks at me with a smile.

"And, I am overjoyed to tell you that you will be having a girl!"
