Today was the big day. We got to find out the gender of our baby. I knew Ashlynn really wanted a girl but I was happy with either. We were in the middle of the ultrasound, Ashlynn was using my jumper to cover her undies since she'd worn a dress, and the technician was taking some measurements.
"Are you both wanting to know the gender?" she asked.
"Yes," Ashlynn said loudly before I could even answer.
The technician laughed and moved the wand, "it's a girl," she beamed, Ashlynn almost squealing with excitement. "I take it that was what we were hoping for?"
"What she wanted. I didn't mind," I replied.
"Could have warned me about that bus Luke," Ashlynn told me, making our technician laugh really hard.
"Clean yourself up then you can collect the picture from the front desk," she told Ashlynn.
Once we were in my car Ashlynn turned to me, "can we please go and pick up some paint then go to Kmart?"
"Sure thing," I answered.
She ended up picking up four pots of pink paint, 2 the same but the three colours went from light to dark. Before we got to Kmart she kept whining she was hungry so we stopped off at the food court. We didn't sit and eat since she was so eager to shop but she made me push the trolley while she ate and did something on her phone. My phone suddenly sounded so I stopped where I was.

I unlocked my phone and found the post. I couldn't help but smile.

Comments immediately started flooding in but I decided to read them when I got home. We made our way over to the baby section and Ashlynn seemed to get even more excited. We made our way over to the baby section and Ashlynn seemed to get even more excited. She pulled out a list from her picked along with a pen and began wandering through the isles; checking off what she'd picked up. She'd told me she was gonna sit down with me and write a list of thing I needed later on then help me get them since I wasn't in the mood to pick them up today. We were shopping for over an hour before Ashlynn told me her feet were sore so she wanted to leave. I couldn't help but stare as I watched her scan the items and out them in bags. She really was gorgeous.
"You right?" she giggled.
"Sorry. Just zoned out is all," I blushed.
She giggled again then poked her tongue out at me I retaliated by doing the same then began putting the bags back in the trolley. Once we got to her house I helped her carry everything inside. It took two trips.
"Fuck you got a lot," Arielle laughed.
"Fuck off," Lynn joked.
"So Luke," Arielle suddenly said.
"Not now," Lynn groaned.
"Yes now! What's the deal with your mate Calum?" she asked, stepping further into the room.
"I'm not sure. He told me about this girl he's really into. He met her the night Lynn and I..." I trailed because I realised what I was about to say.
"He was supposed to give me his number but Lynn called me home before I could get it," she explained.
"Chuck us your phone," I said and she quite literally did.
I set up a new contact then transferred over Calum's number. I threw it back and she caught it perfectly in one hand.
"Thanks man," she smiled then walked off down the hall.
"Thanks. She's been bugging me for his number but lost all my contacts when I dropped my old phone a pool at a party," Ashlynn rambled.
"How'd you have mine then?" this seriously intrigued me.
"I memorized it just incase I got stuck in the middle of nowhere again," she shrugged.
I nod so she nod back, "you don't have to stay. All I'm gonna do is sort out this stuff then go down and paint the draws."
"I'll keep you company," I insisted, making her smile.
We spent a while cutting the tags off the baby clothes, soft toys and linen then throwing them in her washing basket. After we'd finished all that she changed and lent me some of her brother's daggy clothes so we could paint the draws together. She ended up doing the draws from the tall chest of draws while the painted the small one. I also ended up staying for dinner then staying the night. It was odd sleeping in a bed with Ashlynn again. But it was a familiar comfort that I had once grown to love; except for the growing bump that pressed against me as she laid on my chest.
"Have you slept with anyone since me?" she asked suddenly while I was half asleep.
"One girl," I told her softly. "But she wasn't as good as you," I assured her.
'I noticed you've been hitting the gym," she halfheartedly laughed.
"How'd you know?" I asked distractedly as I played with her ponytail.
"You never used to be able to hold me up like that for lone. Never mind fuck me like that," she giggled.
"I did contemplate putting you on the sink bench near the end but I was too close to stop," I shrugged. "Sorry I didn't make you cum but I was too mad to care honestly," I admitted.
"Eh. You've made me cum more times out of the handful of times we have fucked than any other guy," she admitted also.
The news honestly surprised me but I could help my chest swell with pride.
