Demetri had sent me a letter telling me to go to an adress. He had bought all of us large house, there was a kitchen, bathroom, and five bedrooms. Each room had a king matress which could fit two or even three people. We all could fit in the house. He had also boughy me a car too. (So I finally got my divers license) I was thankful for Demetri and what all he hand done for me, Peter and well the whole group, but I wasnt sure if this was just an act to get me back to Italy or if it was just a kind apologetic gesture.

I had also gotten a part time job Jamba Juice, I enjoyed getting out of the house and making my own money so I wouldn't have to use Caius's all the time.

Peter and I had kept our promise marriage deal a secret from everyone not wanting everyone to know just yet. Once the baby was here we were planning on going to tell.

This was my 12th week of pregnancy. Today I'm going for my ultrasound to see the gender. I cant wait to find out if the little one is a boy or a girl.

I was working in the kitchen doing dishes with Peter. We had to leave in 15 minutes.

"Are you nervous Izzy?" He asked.

"No of course not. Why would I be," I said placing my hand on my stomach.

"Well. I dont know. Were finding out the gender of our baby I guess," he stampered.

I chuckled a bit and kissed him gently. "Oh I love you Peter. I cant wait till he or she comes into the world," I said touching my stomach. He put his hand over mine.

"Nor can I. Our little angel. I'll finish the dishes love, sit down and relax," he said.

I nodded and went to the couch in the living room and smiled.  The radio was playing in the background. Daniel was humming to the song. I put my hand on my belly rubbing it. "I cant wait till you meet everyone. You just gotta cook a little faster," I said.

Daniel chuckled hearing my words. "Babies take time,"

"Yes, but I wanna meet my little one," I said.

"You will soon. We will see her or him today at the ultrasound," Peter said walking up behind me putting his arms around me, gently kissing my head.

"Yes we will,  but you know what I mean," I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone. "We should go," he said.

I nodded and grabbed my bag off the coat rack and placed it over my shoulder. What if Caius knows I'm pregnant? Chills went down my spine. It wouldn't end well.

"You okay?" Peter asked.

"Just overthinking," I said truthfully and got into the car.

"About?"

"Caius again," I whispered. "And if he knows I'm pregnant. What he would do," I looked down and put the seat belt on.

"Lets not worry about that okay love?" He kissed below my ear which sent chills down my body.

"I love you," I murmured.

He smiled at it. "Lets go Izzy," he said.

Half an hour later we arrived at the clinic. I checked in and filled out the paperwork. I held onto the clipboard with one hand and Peters hand with the other. My grip was dealthly tight.

"Izzy relax," he said.

I nodded and rested my head on him taking deep breaths. "What it I miss.."

"Izzy... you would know. Breathe were fine okay," he said and kissed my forehead.

"Promise?"

"I promise,"

I nodded and kissed him on the lips.

"Izzy Peirson," a lady called out.

I jumped but stood swiftly, Peter standing as well. He put his hand on my back and led me back into the examination room. It was a dark room with a single hospital bed in the middle. There was one chair beside the table and a tv screen next to up near the celing of the room.

"Alright dear I'm going to need you to get undressed from the weist down okay?" She said. I'll be back in a few minutes," she gave me a sheet to cover myself. She looked at Peter motioning him to leave.

"He can stay," I told her.

She nodded and left the room.

Peter doing the polite thing turned around as I undressed from the waist down. I layed on the hospital bed there and covered my lower region with the sheet.

There was a knock on the door and the same lady came back in. She set up the monitor on her end and put a protective lining on the transducer.

I looked up at her nervously. "Will this hurt?"

"No darling it wont," she said.

I nodded and rested back.

"This will be a bit warm," she said and put the jelly on my lower abdomen.

Then I watched the screen.

Peter and I saw a small baby form on the television screen. "Is that the baby?" I gasped astonished. Never actually seeing a ultrasound in real life.

"Yes thats your baby," she said.

I smiled at it.

"Is it a boy or a girl," I asked.

"Im not allowed to discuss that. The doctor will be in after and she will discuss the results with you,"

I nodded and watched the screen a big smile on my face. "Thats our baby Peter," I said.

"Yes it is," He said smiling kissing my forehead.

Tears were in my eyes. "I love him or her already," I whispered just watching the screen in a daze.

The ultrasound didnt take long at all. At the most 30 minutes.

"You took the pictures right?" I asked.

"Yes we did. I will print them off and bring them back when you get your after care summary," she said. "Here is a towel to wipe yourself clean and then you can get dressed. Doctor Stevens will be in shortly," she said.

I nodded. When she left I wiped the Jelly off my abdomen and got dressed.

"That was our baby Peter!" I said smiling.

"I told you everything was going to be alright," he chuckled.

"I love you so much Peter," I told him happily.

He sat on the edge of the hospital bed holding me close to him. "I love you too babygirl," he said.

I rested in his arms. One hand on my stomach one resting on his chest.

I looked up as the doctor came in. "Hello, Izzy. Im Doctor Stevens. Its nice to meet you. Who do you have with you today?"

"This is my boyfriend Peter," I told her.

"Well nice to meet the both of you. Now lets look at these ultrasound photos," she said.

I nodded egarly.

She clicked on the picture zooming in slightly.  "Do we want to know the gender today?" She asked.

"Yes," Peter and I said at the same time.

"Okay," she said moving the computer screen more towards us. She zoomed in closer in a certian area then eventually zoomed out.

"You're giving a baby girl," she said with a smile. "The heart rate is normal, looks like you have a perfectly healthy baby at 16 weeks. 

"When is the due date. At our last ultrasound they didnt tell us he just said that the baby was healthy," Peter asked.

"Give me a moment let me look in your chart and look at the last ultrasound," she said closing the current pictures scrolling to the last ones. She examined them for several minutes going over each one studying them closely. She looked at the calender on the computer screen. "October 7th, 2020," she said.

"October 7th," I repeated. "We get to meet our baby girl October 7th," I said with a smile.
