Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

Then Comes Marriage

I couldn't help but shift my position on the bed in anticipation, Amaya was rubbing cold gel across my stomach. She said it was needed so we could see the baby, but I didn't really listen when she had explained that stuff. I was too distracted by getting to know if our baby was a boy or a girl. Kakashi was to my right, it kind of seemed like he was as anxious as I was.

I had been so worked up earlier today because of this moment, I couldn't sit still. My gaze shifts to Kakashi as he holds my hand a bit tighter, he didn't look at me, but it was then I knew what he was feeling. It was the same as me at the moment. Amaya then grabs something else from the cart next to her and says,

"Alright. I'm going to need you to lie still now, Keira."

I simply nodded, and she then placed the weird looking thing on my stomach. It felt odd, it didn't hurt or anything, but it was cold; like the gel she had put on me. Amaya moves the thing slowly, before stopping it an inch or two to the right of my bellybutton. A smile graces her features as she looks at the small screen that was next to the cart, I looked at it too; hoping to see whatever was making her smile like that.

She uses her other hand to point at the screen, there was a blotch there that was steadily growing and contracting slightly.

"There's the heartbeat," she explains,

"Everything looks good, and the baby is growing well. Now, as for the gender," she pauses and moves the thing again, but not by much this time. She continues while still staring at the black and white image on the screen,

"Most of the time, parents want their baby's gender to be a surprise. But, since you two want to know, you're having a healthy baby boy. Congratulations you two."

I only stared at the screen, I felt tears start to form in my eyes. But I didn't want to cry, especially not now. We just found out our baby was a boy, I'm so happy, actually. Kakashi leans down some to plant a masked kiss to my head, and Amaya says,

"Now you two can come up with and settle on some names before the baby comes, if you'd like, anyway."

I placed my hand over my rounded belly as I watch Kakashi finish up moving the dresser back under the window. We were going to get the nursery put together, it was going to be in my old room since I don't really use it anymore. I wanted to do something simple, yet comforting to be in at the same time. I couldn't really decide on a color scheme, which of course Kakashi was letting me pick. I didn't want something too dark, or colors that would clash. I was kind of torn between a light blue, or even plain white.

I look down as I feel Ozzy rub his head against my leg, he looks up at me and meows. A smile spreads across my lips as I reach down and pick him up, he was purring now. I scratch his head as I ask, "When do you want to get a crib?"

Kakashi shrugs, he starts to take the mattress off the bed frame while replying, "Whenever you're ready to. We still have a lot of time, there's no need to rush any of this."

"Yeah, but..." I say with a quiet sigh,

"I just want this to be perfect, especially since this is our second time. I don't want one thing to be out of place or messed up, ya know?"

Kakashi sets the mattress against the wall and comes over to me, he wraps his arms around my waist and holds me closer to himself, yet was being careful of Ozzy. He leans in and kisses my forehead with masked lips, then says,

"Don't worry so much, everything will turn out okay. I promise."

A feeling of butterflies spread across my stomach as I shift my weight from foot to foot nervously, I held the bundle of flowers in my hands a bit tighter. I'm so scared right now, I can practically feel myself shaking in fear and anticipation.
