"Dammit Riley!" I cursed as I got out of his car.
"What?" He innocently asked.
"I told you that I didn't want extra sugar in my tea!" I whined, pouting as I grabbed my bag and made way to the front office doors.
"I didn't tell them to add extra sugar, dear. You were sort of sitting right next to me when I ordered." He mumbled, just loud enough for me to hear.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" I said through gritted teeth.
"I said... Oh no! I could have sworn I didn't order extra sugar for your tea. Maybe I did by accident. I am so sorry Liv. Want to trade your drink for mine?" He smiled sweetly, obviously being sarcastic.
"No, coffee isn't good for the baby." I deadpanned, having had enough with his annoying tendencies.
"Apparently I'm not good for the baby either." He barely spoke above a whisper.
"What?" I demanded.
"Nothing! Let's go inside shall we? Can't keep the Doc waiting!" Riley smiled, while batting his eyelashes and holding the door open for me.
I sighed as I entered the building, Riley lingering behind me.
"Are you nervous?" Riley asked, sitting beside me after checking me in with the front desk secretary.
"A little." I admitted, impatiently tapping my foot against the carpet floor.
"What are you hoping for?" He asked with his eyebrows rose.
"I want a girl. Though, I will love the baby regardless. I just don't think I can handle a boy. He would remind me too much of Landon." I confessed, feeling guilty about putting the blame on a child that hasn't even been born yet.
"What will you name her?" He asked with a smile.
"I haven't decided yet." I sheepishly smiled.
"What! You're four months along and haven't decided on names?" He chuckled.
"I guess I've been putting it off, until I knew for sure nothing bad was going to happen." I looked down into my lap.
"Why would you think that Liv?"
"I don't know. First baby jitters, maybe." I looked out into the distance, staring at nothing in particular.
"Well, after today, you should be able to pick a name without a second thought!" Riley proudly stated, playfully nudging my shoulder with his.
"I suppose you're right!" I smiled, looking over at him. "And sorry for being a pain earlier. I read about crazy pre-moms who get all hormonal and such... I guess I hoped that wouldn't be me." I lightly laughed.
"Yeah... no kidding." Riley said, instantly smacking himself in the face afterwards.
"Crap, Liv, I didn't mean it! Please don't strike me!" He held up his hands in surrender as I just stared blankly at him.
"I really can't believe we're related sometimes..." I sighed.
"I can!" He smirked.
"Whatever, what is taking so long... there's like, no one even here! She needs to hurry up." I dramatically sighed.
