***Twenty weeks pregnant***

We are sitting in the waiting room waiting to see Dr Lane. We should find out the sex today. The nurse calls us back and takes my vitals and weight and we wait in the exam room. Dr Lane comes in. "How are you feeling today?" she asked. "Good. Morning sickness is gone and my appetite is back." I tell her. "Good. That's what I wanted to hear. Let's check on the little one." she says. Laying back, she takes the gel and puts it on my stomach. Moving the wand around, we hear the heartbeat and I see Happy smile. "That sounds good right?" he asked. "Yes very good." She says and moves the wand a little more and starts taking measurements. "Looks like the baby is progressing just how we wanted. Are you wanting to know the gender?" she asked and Happy says "Yeah." before I can respond and the doctor and I both laugh. She moves the wand again and says. "Well, looks like you are having a little boy." and she starts showing us where to look. "Takes after his Old Man. Hell yeah." Hap says and Dr Lane and I both burst out laughing. She hands up the ultrasound pictures and says, "We will see you in two weeks."

Walking into the house, I take out my phone and call Luanne. "Aunt Lu. Can you come over?" I asked. "Yeah baby. Everything okay?" she asked. "Yep. Just wanted to tell you about the appointment." I tell her. "I'll be there in a few minutes." she says and we end the call. "I called your dad and he's on his way." Hap says. A few minutes later we hear them both pull up and walking in the door. "What's up?" Daddy asked. "We had our appointment today and wanted you to be the first to know. We're having a little boy." I say and they both stand and pulls us into hugs. "I guess I can give you this now then." Daddy said and hands me a blue beanie for the baby. It has the SOA Reaper on the front and on the back was stitched "Hap's Kid." I couldn't help but laugh and then showed it to Happy who actually laughed.

The guys sat down and Aunt Lu and I started dinner talking about the baby and plans for the nursery. After dinner and things were cleaned up, Happy and I were laying in bed and he was rubbing my belly getting our son to calm down. "Have you thought about names?" he asked. "For a boy, yes." I say. "Not for a girl?" he asked, looking at me confused. "Nope. I just had a feeling we were having a boy." I say. Smiling, he asked "What name did you pick?" Sitting up where I was looking at him I say "Victor Robert Lowman. After you and my dad. Is that okay? I wanted him named after the two most important men in my life." He looks at me for a minute and says "Victor Robert it is. You think of a theme for the nursery?" he asked. "Yeah. I want dark gray walls and black trim. I was thinking about having a black tree painted with crows on it for the club watching over him." I say and Hap looks at me shocked. "What?" I asked. "I was thinking the same thing." he says and I start laughing. "I guess we both might be a little crazy." and then he starts laughing. I grab my stomach when Victor starts kicking me and Hap asked "Babe, what's wrong?" I just take his hand and put it on my stomach. I had been feeling him kicking all long but Hap hadn't. "Is he kicking me?" he asked. "Yeah." I say. "This what you been dealing with all this time?" he asked and I say "Yep." He smiles and leans down to my stomach and says "Alright little ass kicker, give mommy a break. You need to rest so she can." and all of a sudden, the baby is still. "How the hell did you do that?" I asked. "Guess he's a daddy's boy." he says smirking.
