Deaton nods his head and puts the gel on my belly and Melissa moves the wand around. We hear the baby's heartbeat.

"Heartbeat sounds good and the baby is looking strong." says Melissa

Melissa moves the wand around until she finds what she is looking for.

"And it's a..." says Melissa

26 weeks pregnant

(second trimester)

Theo's Pov

We are having a little girl, and I'm so happy it's a girl. I'm also officially 26 weeks pregnant and I feel like my pregnancy is flying by fast. Baby girl is the size of a scallion, is around 13.82 inches from head to toe, and weighs 2.01 pounds. She has been moving around a lot more in the last few weeks.

A symptom that I knew was coming but was something that I hoped wouldn't come up as stretch marks. When I first noticed the stretch marks, I cried for an hour and Liam found me in the bathroom looking in the mirror crying my eyes out. When he asked me what was wrong, I just pointed at the marks and thankfully Liam understood. Liam on his way home from work stopped and got me a lotion that helps with stretch marks. I cried when he handed it to me.

I feel like every time I turn a new week, it gets harder to believe despite the growing bump and that I can hear the baby's heartbeat. She is growing and is now the size of a head of cauliflower, is 14.42 inches from her head to her toes and she weighs 2.33 pounds. My symptoms for the last week have been pelvic pain. The pain has caused me to have Liam pulling my pain since it's something that my healing doesn't work on since it has to do with the pregnancy.

Liam and I have been talking about names now that we know it's a girl. I want something unique for her while Liam wants something cute as her name.

As I sat with Liam, discussing potential names for our unborn daughter, a name floated into the conversation, bringing with it a sense of unexpected resonance.

"Parker," I whispered, the word slipping from my lips almost instinctively.

Liam's eyes met mine, a hint of curiosity flickering in their depths.

"Parker?" he echoed, testing the name as if weighing its significance.

I nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "Yes, Parker," I affirmed, feeling a sense of connection to the name that I couldn't quite explain. It felt right as if it had been waiting for us all along.

Liam considered the name for a moment before a smile spread across his face. "I like it," he declared, a warmth evident in his voice. "Parker it is then."

And at that moment, as we settled on the name for our unborn daughter, I felt a profound sense of certainty wash over me. Parker—strong, resilient, a name that held within it the promise of a bright future. As we whispered her name into the quiet of the room, I knew that she would forever be a beacon of light in our lives, a reminder of the love and connection that bound our family together.
