Soft white sheets were gripped between trembling hands, cries and whimpers filling the quiet night. a tiny body writhed beneath the duvet, eyes clenched shut. bella denbrough was having yet another nightmare about christopher.
her dreams were calmed at the feathery touch of her lover, who'd awoken to her distress. a light sigh poured from her plump lips, her body unconsciously curling into him. her brown hair splayed over the pillow as sunlight splashed over her sweat-dampened skin.
stanley admired his girlfriend's perfectly arranged features, brushing his fingertips over her silky skin. his hands stopped over her growing baby bump, gently rubbing over his growing child.
"are you enjoying yourself?" the girl whispered, startling stanley from his loving trance. he smiled adoringly down at the petite teen, caressing her cheek and his child's outline.
"how are my favorite girls this morning?" he murmured, kissing her smooth skin. bella chuckled softly, running her fingers through his messy hair.
"so she's a girl now?" she asked, grinning warmly at her man. stanley nodded, leaning his head down to affectionately kiss his alleged daughter's small form. bella giggled quietly, scratching her nails comfortingly over the male's scalp.
"we'll find out today," the girl cooed, cuddling into stanley's much taller form. he held her in his gently muscled arms, instilling a sense of warm safety in her.
"we should get downstairs before my mom comes in," stanley sighed, rubbing his palm over the girl's upper arm. she nodded and softly kissed his jaw. then she slipped out of the bed and collected her neatly folded clothes.
"i'm gonna shower," she informed, smiling over her shoulder at her lover as her free hand gently cupped her covered baby bump. stanley smiled and nodded, trekking to his dresser to grab a change of clothes. the girl entered his bathroom, and the sound of a running shower followed the shutting of the door. stanley sighed softly, smiling at the thought of the two most important people in his life.
the past two and a half months were intense. stanley's father was infuriated when he learned of his son's accident, nearly going as far as to kick him out. that's when stanley's mother interfered, convincing his father to let him stay. ever since then, mr. uris spent his time out of the house. he was gone before stanley woke up and came home after stanley went to sleep. occasionally, he'd catch a glimpse of the man who raised him, but they never exchanged words.
the only thing that made him happy anymore was his genuine family; his girlfriend and their child. nothing could give him more life than they did.

Bella and stanley approached the denbrough home, anxious to behold the gender reveal that awaited them. their child would finally be sexed, eliminating the question toward gender and halting the use of the word it.
"are you nervous?" bella asked, looking toward the man next to her. he smiled anxiously, gently grasping her pale hand.
"i think i may throw up," he breathed, earning a soft chuckle from his girlfriend.
"don't worry, stanny. the gender won't change a thing about whether or not we'll love them," she cooed, squeezing his clammy hand reassuringly.
"that's not what i'm worried about," he started. "i bet twenty dollars on the gender being female."
"who'd you make a bet with?" bella laughed out. stanley was about to reply, when a shout answered all the questions bella had.
"ready to lose, uris?" beverly marsh called, arm locked with ronnie's. stanley rolled his eyes and turned around to face the two red heads.
"not a chance, marsh," he responded. bella sighed and shook her head in disappointment. the four then turned and walked inside, stan and bev still arguing about who's right.
"surprise!" richie yelled annoyingly as the foursome entered. bella grinned and hopped toward the trashmouth.
"rich!" she exclaimed, embracing him excitedly. it'd been several days since she last saw her best friend, and she was in desperate need of the gay jokester's presence.
"holy shit, you're big!" the bespectacled boy exclaimed as he dropped to his knees in front of her. his eyes crossed as he looked at the baby bump, his hands jumping out to touch it.
"thanks rich," bella muttered, rolling her eyes. eddie sighed and grabbed his boyfriend's arm.
"c'mon, rich. stop pestering the poor kid. he isn't even out yet and he probably already thinks you're annoying," he huffed, muttering the last part under his breath. stanley chuckled and hugged his girlfriend from behind, pushing his hands under her shirt to travel the bare skin his child was buried under. mrs. denbrough entered the room with a nearly iced caked in hand, a wide grin spread over her pretty face.
"are we ready?" she sang. mr. denbrough followed after her, walking over to press a kiss to his daughter's forehead. bill and mike traipsed downstairs into the kitchen where everyone stood, both of them practically jumping with excitement.
"i've never been more ready in my life," bella responded, a happy tremble to her voice.
"i'm ready to beat bev into the ground," stan chimed in with a crooked grin. mrs. denbrough chuckled and waved them over, loosely holding the handle of a kitchen knife. bella wrapped her hand around it, replacing her mother's, and stan placed his hand on top of hers. together, they pressed the sharp blade of the knife into the pristine surface of the cake, cutting a small slice out of it. the cake was a soft baby blue color beneath the white icing, drawing a groan from stanley.
"it's a boy!" bella squealed excitedly, dropping the knife onto the kitchen table. she turned around and embraced stan, burying her face in his chest. a collective cheer went around the room, bella and stanley's family and friends babbling vehemently about the baby boy.
bella was having a beautiful baby boy. she was having a wonderful son.
stanley was beyond astonished. he'd created a boy to carry on the uris name. he was going to father a son, who bella would teach to fight and play baseball while he made dinner and cleaned like a good housewife.
they were beyond excited for the arrival of their baby boy.
