Dangerous feelings

Chapter 23

"So do you guys want to know the gender or would you like it to be a surprise?" The nurse asked as she squeezed the cold gel onto Alison's stomach.

Alison flinched slightly, it was a reaction you couldn't help no matter how many times you told yourself what to expect. She was led on the bed with her shirt rolled up so that her belly was exposed for the nurse, it was her twenty week scan and Alison and Emily had both had different opinions when it came to finding out the gender.

"So it was the food poisoning that knocked the pill out? Spencer questioned as the group of five sat in the brew spread out between the sofas all with a hot drink in hand.

"Seems that way" Alison replied with a shrug, "I did warn Emily that it would be ineffective for seven days but she didn't seem to care at the time"

"You were walking around in skimpy clothing, too much of a tease to resist!" Emily tried to defend but knew she wasn't making much of a case.

She pouted as the rest of the group laughed at her expenses for Alison brought her in close to her body as a form of comfort by wrapping her arm around the taller girls shoulders.

"It's ok, I'm happy with the outcome. Even if it is a bit soon into the relationship. It's a good job you were stuck with me forever even before you knocked me up." Alison said cheerfully as she slowly ran her hand up and down Emilys arm.

"So what do you want?" Hanna asked excitedly.

The others all looked at her with raised eyebrows as they waited for her to elaborate. Emily had raised her drink to her lips as she looked inquisitively at Hanna, not sure of what was going to follow her previous sentence.

"Like do you want a boy or girl?" And are you going to find out at your next scan thingy?" Hanna rambled on unaware of the tension that she was about to create.

"Boy"

"Girl"

Both Emily and Alison answered simultaneously which made Aria giggle at their sureness with the different answers.

"Wait, you want another boy? But we already have one?" Alison said as she shifted her body further away from Emilys so she could look her girlfriend directly in the eye as she searched for answers.

"Yeah I know but I wouldn't know the first thing about raising a girl" Emily answered with a shrug.

The truth was she didn't really mind what gender they had, but she realised she would prefer another boy now that she was being questioned about it. Alison however had always dreamed of having one of each since she was little and she was slightly confused as to why Emily didn't feel the same.

"Well I guess there's no point in dwelling on it as we won't find out until the birth anyway. That gives you enough time to read up on raising a girl just in case"

Emily had just taken another sip of her drink as Alison spoke and she ended up spraying the contents over Hanna as she took in what Alison had said.

"What the fuck Em?!" Hanna shouted as she the wiped coffee from her face.

Aria and Spencer had been sat quietly listening to the conversation unfold but they couldn't help laugh at the state that Hanna now found herself in. Aria passed the soaked blonde a couple of napkins before turning her attention back to the couple who's conversation was starting to get heated.

"What do you mean we won't find out until the birth? I can't wait that long, I want to find out at our next scan so we can plan. How are we meant to decorate the nursery if we don't know what we're expecting?" Emily began to rant and Alison just sat there quietly as she took in all of what Emily was saying.
