What if we kissed?

29. God, you scared me

The next couple of months, Stana's belly started growing and she needed to hide it from the press and the fans, since Nathan and her agreed on keeping their baby out of the public eye. Therefore Stana mostly wore very baggy clothes and stopped going to talkshows or partys. She was now 21 weeks weeks pregnant and her belly was already pretty big. Twelve weeks ago they had their first ultrasound appointment, but today they would find out if their little one was going to be a boy or a girl. "You nervous?" Nathan asked silently with his face in her hair and his hands on her bump. "Yeah, of course I am. You aren't?" She asked back as she relaxed a little into him. "Believe me, I am. But, I know, regardless of wether it's a boy or a girl, he or she will be just as beautiful and perfect as his/her mother." They smiled at each other and then walked out of their loft hand in hand.

"Good morning Stana, how have you been feeling the past weeks?" Dr. Swan asked when she entered the room. "Pretty good, acually. Now that the morning sickness is gone I've gotten along much easier. Oh, and I can sometimes feel small movements." The last thing Stana said very excitedly. "Really? Why haven't you told me?" Nathan sulked. "You can't feel it from the outside, so I thought it wasn't that important. Sorry." A tear slipped down her cheek and Nathan immediately pulled into an embrace. "I see your hormones are already going crazy." Dr. Swan chuckled lightly. "Yeah I've been pretty emotional the last couple of days." Stana laughed out. "Anyway, do you want to know your baby's gender now?" "Yes please." Nathan answered before Stana could even think about answering. Stana laid down and pulled up her shirt to reveal her little bump. The doctor pushed some gel on Stana's belly and started to move on top of it with the ultrasound device. A few seconds later the soon-to-be-parents both smiled brightly at the vision of their little one on the monitor. "Congratulations, you're going to have a little daughter. And so far it looks as though she's completely healthy." Nathan gave his beautiful wife a sweet kiss. "Look, she's saying hello." Nathan said with a big grin as he wached his daughter slowly, and only lightly, moving her hand as if she was waving at them. "How many copies of the picture would you like?" Dr. Swan asked as she handed Stana some tissues to wipe the gel off of her stomach. "Uhmm... just one please." After they were alone in the room again, Stana kissed Nathan passionately once more. "God, I cannot believe this is actually happening. We're having a daughter Nate." She squealed. Five minutes later Dr. Swan handed Stana the picture and she was completely fascinated with it. "That's our little girl." Stana whispered, more to herself than to Nathan, when she touched the picture of her baby lightly.

Stana's POV
When we were back at home I kissed Nathan before opening the door. "I can't wait to hold her in my arms." I softly smiled. "Me neither." We pecked our lips one last time before I finally opened the door. "Oh good, you're back." I almost jumped out of my skin when I herd the high squeal from the kitchen. "What the hell!?!" Nathan asked me. "What on earth are you doing here?!? You scared me to death G!" I shouted at her with my hand on my heart. I took some deep breaths to slow down my heartbeat a little bit. "I'm sorry. We got here sooner than thought, so I came to visit my sister." I sighed and plopped down onto the couch. "Couldn't you have waited for our thanksgiving-dinner twomorrow?" Nathan threw me a questioning look and I nodded to tell him that the baby was fine. "Sorry, if I knew you don't want me here I wouldn't have come." Gigi said angrily. "No, it's not that... we just didn't expect you here that's all." Nate helped me out. "Can I have a hug then?" I was about to reply 'no sorry', but she had her arms already around me. "OH. MY. GOD. Stana are you..." It was too late she had already felt my baby bump. "Yeah, yeah I'm pregnant." I told her while snuggling closer to Nathan, so he could hold me. "Mum and Dad will be so excited! How far along are you?" She squealed. "First, your Dad's probably going to freak out and kill me. Second, she's in week 21." I felt Nate's lips moving in my hair. "Wow, yeah he is definitely going to kill you both, for not telling and for getting pregnant in the first place." "Thanks G, that's really giving me courage to tell everyone at the family dinner twomorrow." I said sarcastically. "It's gonna be fine eventually." Gigi assured me and Nathan nodded in agreement. "Hopefully... enough about me, what about you?" I asked her and we kept talking for another hour or two before Gigi headed home. "I hope our parents are going to be ok with this." I sighed out. "Of course they are. Yours may be a bit shocked at first but they will be happy and mine always wanted grandchildren, so..." Nathan told me with a loving smile. I kissed him passionately in response, we only broke apart because we both needed air. But as soon as we catched our breaths, our lips were connected again in a steaming hot kiss. "I... love... you." I said in between kisses. "I...love...you... too." Nathan said and carried me to the bedroom without disconnecting  our lips.

As Stana woke up the next morning she could feel her husband's naked, warm upper half being cuddled closely to her back and his soft hand on her stomach. For a second she thought about moving away, but instead she snuggled even closer to him. "Good morning honey." Nathan whispered, his breath tickling Stana's cheek lightly. "Morning handsome." She mumbled back. "Baby we have to get up and prepare the dinner." He said placing feathery kisses on her neck. "Good idea, how about you go and do that?" "No you're coming with me sleepyhead." "What if I don't want to?" Stana asked, facing him with a cheeky grin. "Then I will have to make you." With that Nathan picked her up bridal style and carried her into the bathroom. "No, no no no no. Nate, don't you dare to..." Stana was cut off by the cold water  rushing down on her when her husband placed her in the shower.  "I hate you!" She screamed out and pulled him in next to her at his neck. They soon turned up the temperature and enjoyed the shower together. After a couple of minutes Nathan got down on his knees and Stana was confused. "Hey little girl, I just wanted to say sorry for the cold shower. You know, your mommy and I, we love you more than anything. I hope you're aware of that." He said in a overly cute voice and then kissed Stana's belly. All of the sudden Stana winced and let out a loud gasp. "Baby, you okay?" Nathan asked her, standing up immediately, his hands still on her little bump. "Y-yeah Lily just kicked me." "That's wonderful! Lily huh?" "I... just thought... maybe..." "Stana, I love that. Our little Lily Kathrine. There! She kicked again!" "I know. And it's perfect." Stana hummed in agreement and they shared another loving kiss, before ending their shower.
