LENA's POV:

Today was the day where I finally get to see my baby, to know how healthy and strong this little precious is inside me. It's hard thinking about what to name this baby because I feel so awful saying 'it'. So many first time parents wait for a supervise, but not me. I want to know.

My craving for this baby was margarita pizza, my gosh, I was never much a fan of pizza until this little monster inside forced me to like it, I didn't have a choice. The baby wants what it wants. But Stef called the baby many names whenever she'd talk to it.

Flashback start:

"Hello little margarita there, how are you in there? Huh? His is you mom stef, and your mama is doing great. Little margarita we keep looking for signs of gender, high round bump for girl, or low bump and swollen ankles for boy, but you're being a little monkey and keeping it a secret aren't you? We love you" Stef said as she knelt down placing her hands on each side of my small round stomach leaning close to my belly speaking.

"We do indeed." I smile to her.

"So monkey, give us some signs so we can already begin to spoil you rotten. we get to see you soon poppet, and we're going to use you as a surprise to granny and gramps and nanny Sharon. Oh you're going to be so loved hungry little cherub. You hear me?"

"Talking of this little monkey being hungry, I need some food, Chinese takeout?" I suggest smirking hoping to get my own way. I craved food so much.

"Anything for you my love"

End of flashback:

And now today I get to see him or her. I feel like it's a girl, and Stef hopes for a girl but I'm not too fussed. But there is something inside where I feel like she's a girl.

3 hours had passed and we was waiting in the waiting room with excitement to see our little monkey.

"Lena Adams foster" my midwife calls.

We stand up with hand in hand and follow her to the room. "Take a seat" she says tapping on the bed.

I jump up and lay down as Stef takes a seat beside me facing the screen. I pull my top up so my bump is visible to my midwife and I take Stef's hand.

"Before the scan, id like to take some measurements and heartbeat monitoring. Also a few tests to check everything is good." My midwife explained.

"What kind of tests?" I ask.

"For conditions for example, Down syndrome etc"

"That wouldn't be a problem. We will love this baby no matter what" Stef says squeezing my hand even tighter.

"That's nice to hear, this baby will be so lucky" she replies.

I laid still while the midwife took her tape measure and measured from side to side, and top to bottom. She then wrote them down in our pregnancy booklet on the page titled 'first scan'. This booklet kept everything in, information, facts and dates. It was a god send. She then took out the heart rate monitor and pushed down at the bottom of my stomach which was no good being as I was desperate for a wee and it was pressure on my bladder.

"Woah, I felt that" I said shocked.

"Felt what?" Stef asked.

"Baby kicking the heart monitor" the midwife said chuckling.

She then took a few more tests to examine whether or not the baby had any disability problems as such, but everything was positive. So far so good.

She then turned on the monitor screen where me and Stef could finally see our precious little monkey. This was the moment we have been waiting for so long. My midwife pulled out the gel and tucked blue napkins into the waistband of my trousers to stop the gel from running. She then squeezed the gel onto my stomach which I had a very strange reaction to. Stef has her hand resting on the side of my stomach and was about to take her hand off until I pulled her hand back to feel.

"Little monkeys kicking" I said as stef felt it too.

"I bet she thinks it's cold, aw margarita you be good, stop kicking mama" Stef said to the baby as the midwife looked at us confused.

"Don't ask" I said laughing as she laughed too. We moved our hands and she took the monitor and moved it around my stomach spreading the cool gel everywhere. We all looked at the monitor as we finally caught site of our baby.

Wow this moment was so magical.

"Stef, baby, there's our monkey" I said, I haven't a clue how the name 'monkey' stuck, but it was cute.

"Wow, there she is. I mean or he" Stef said.

"It's beautiful" I said as my eyes started to cry, I looked to Stef whom was already crying so I pulled her in for a kiss.

"Everything looks good, baby is growing perfectly fine. Would you like this printed?" She said referring to the picture on the screen.

"Yes please, 4 copies please" Stef said. One for me, one for herself, one for my parents and one for Sharon. This weekend was the time we told them at their joint party.

We headed straight to the mall after to quickly pick up a few items, 2 baby photo frames, a gift box, cards and lots of champagne and pop as I couldn't drink alcohol anymore. These were a few items to put in Dana and Stewart's anniversary box and Sharon's birthday box. I was so nervous to tell them, but they'll be so happy that their going to have a beautiful little monkey as a grandchild.
