Chris and I walk into the theatre and we are bombarded by our cast saying congratulations. I'd already had the congratulations but he hadn't. "Does everyone here know?" Chris asked.
I giggled slightly, "Yeah, it was hard to hide it from you so I told others instead. I couldn't keep it in me. You were the only one in the building who didn't know yesterday."
"Okay, pregnant lady coming through we have 45 minutes to get ready."
"Chris, I'm not heavily pregnant, calm down sweetheart."
"I know, I just want some space, this is all quite a lot. And I want to see you're new club dress now so I can admire you now so I don't get distracted during the show."
"Okay." I kissed his cheek and guided us through the sea of people and up to my dressing room. "This one."

"The ribbon means I can adjust it over the next few weeks. It just won't be as body forming so won't be as obvious."
"It's cute. Put it on." I locked my door then changed into the dress. I put on the same heels as before and then wrapped my arms around Chris's neck. He put his arms around my waist and his hands on my ass and swayed us from side to side as we looked in each other's eyes. "It looked cute before, but it looks stunning on you my love."
"Thanks babe." I kissed him gently which soon became more passionate and romantic. We started making out, feeling the love until the half hour call same on. "Okay lets get ready. I love you."
"I love you too, the father of my child." I gave him one more kiss then pushed him out playfully. I changed out of the dress and put on my jeans and teal top. I did my hair and makeup then headed to the wings and met Chris. He gave me a kiss and then headed onstage. I walked over to the other wing and then did my usual routine. I kissed the locket I was given by the boys on opening night, this was the last thing I did before I skipped on the stage.
~~~~~ April 27th 2009 Chris and I walk hand in hand to the doctor. He's finally able to come with me because he now knew.
"Mandy Gonzalez." The nurse called. I stood up and took Chris's hand. We walked over to the scales and Chris supported me as they took my weight before we went into the room.
"Ahh Mandy, you have a different person with you today, who's this?"
"I smiled, this is my boyfriend, Chris, also the father. I only told April 5th on his sons birthday. So he wasn't here before because he didn't know."
"Yeah, Mandy surprised me three weeks ago. It was a perfect day. I'm so excited for us to have a child together, more excited than anything."
"Well that's good. So you're 11 weeks along, so your weight is perfect. Let's just take your blood pressure." I hold Chris's hand and close my eyes breathing deeply.
"I did this with Karen too, I just get nervous with having my blood pressure taken. I don't like it. I'm weird, I know. I'm sorry your girlfriend is just a pain."
"Mandy, it's okay sweetheart. You aren't a pain, or weird or anything other than gorgeous, beautiful, loving, talented, all round an incredible girl, who I'm very lucky to have in my life. I love you Mandy, and nothing can stop that. I'm here to support you though these next 30 weeks and our life with a child. It's okay baby girl."
The doctor took my blood pressure and then I laid on the bed. I lifted my shirt and she squirted the cold gel onto my stomach. Chris was fascinated by it all but I was used to it by now. When the image appeared on the screen Chris started tearing up. "Our baby is so beautiful." He took my hand in his and held it tight.
"I know." I smiled at him.
"Everything is looking good, correct weight, good blood pressure, right size and healthy. Would you like to hear the heartbeat? I know you wanted to save the moment for when Chris was here." My doctor asked.
"Yes please." I looked into Chris's eyes. They were sparkling bright. He held my hand next to him, and stroked my cheek with the other. The gentle sound of our child's heart beat filled the room. "Wow."
"That's magical." Chris smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
"It really is. I'm glad I waited until you were here with me."
"We can do gender reveal for you next month." The doctor said after a few minutes.
"Okay, thank you. Can we do it before the 27th. I know that will be less than a month I just want to do something big to reveal it and I have the perfect idea."
"Yeah of course, I'll book something in for the Friday, so the 25th, mornings are best for you right?"
"Yeah. Thank you, and I'll explain later babe." We picked up the new ultrasound pictures then picked Doug up from school before having a family evening because it was a Monday.
