"Then I'm Mani it's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too, Mani. I've heard a lot about you from Taylor." She tells me.
"All good things I hope?" I smile.
"Oh, yes. He said something about turning this cold-hearted monster into a lovesick fool." She grins wildly. I look over at Taylor who is trying to cover his laugh.
I look over at Dinah and She's smiling. She looks over at me. "What? She's got a point."She leans down and kisses the top of my head.
"I also heard you were going to get your GED. I used to tutor high school kids before I decided on housekeeping. So, I can also help with that."
I planned on working to get my GED by the end of the summer. Zedd thinks it should be ok for me to earn it without it raising any flags when I use my real name. Plus, he told me not to worry and I quote this it's genius has you covered end quote.

"Madison Lopez? " A nurse calls out. I see Normani roll her eyes before grabbing my hand. We walk into the room and She hops onto the bed.
"So I was told you haven't had any prenatal checkups yet?" The nurse asks.
"I had someone come in and check the heartbeat and my blood pressure but that's it. Also, I was given some vitamins. Which I still take." Mani tells her.
"Alright, and you have been feeling the baby move and kick." She asks.
"Oh, yeah. I think I have a soccer player on my hands." Mani laughs rubbing her belly.
The nurse laughs. "That's very good to here. I know the doctor will want to do an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok, since you've had a lack of prenatal care."
I take Mani hand and squeeze it.
"But, I'm sure everything is ok." She reassures us.
The nurse leaves and walks in an older woman with light brown hair wearing a white coat.
"Miss.Lopez?" She asks.
God, that is going to take time to get used to.
"Yes." Mani grins.
"I'm Dr. Rayner. I'm going to do an ultrasound and see how your baby is doing." She kindly smiles at us before sitting at the ultrasound machine and typing in a few things.
"Have you had any issues, like bleeding, cramping? Any concerns?" She asks as she squeezes the gel on Mani's stomach.
"Besides the fact I want to eat everything in sight, I've been good." Mani tells her.
"That's good. And it's normal to want to eat. Just don't go too crazy." She tells her. She places the probe on Mani's belly and starts moving around. "There's your baby." She tells us.
The grey blob on the screen really looks like a baby compared to the last time I saw it.
"I'm going to do some measurements and make sure everything looks ok? Then would you like to know the sex?"
"Yes." We both say.
I take Mani's hand and kiss it. This is amazing, looking at my child on the screen.
"Everything looks good. Listen." She says as she turns up the volume on the machine a 'whooshing ' sound fills the room. "Really good heart rate 160 bmp." She tells us. "Now let me see if he or she will open their legs for us."
She moves the probe around and freezes the picture on the screen. "If you look right here."
Omg that's a penis!
"It's a boy!" I shout and giant smile appearing on my face. The doctor and mani Laugh at my excitement.
"That's correct. Congratulations."
