Chapter 108: Come Wake Me Up.

[Close my eyes tightly,
hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
Come wake me up]

      We all walked into the familiar room that fit us all and the boys stood off to the side, waiting for the process to happen. I hopped onto the bed, handing my bag to Niall who sat on the chair next to the bed. "And guys. Please please please, act a little professional." I begged, making Louis scoff. 

      "A little? You know that I can't do that." 

      "Please, for me and the baby's sake." I stuck out my bottom lip and clasped my hands together. 

      "Alright, fine." I smiled and we waited a little before Doctor Claire came in.

      "Oh, wow, we have a full house today." She jokes, walking in and closing the door. 

      "Uh, yeah. These are our friends." 

      I smiled, "Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn." I introduced down the line that they stood in. 

      "Pleasure to meet you." Doctor Claire smiled and looked through my previous papers. "So how were things after the first bleeding?" She asked me, sitting on the rolling chair. 

      "They're fine." I replied honestly. 

      "No more bleeding?" I shook my head, "Any cramps or pains?" I shook my head again. "Have you been doing any heavy lifting or anything like that?" I shook my head, remembering the times that Niall refused for me to help carry boxes to the U-Haul truck. "Alright, then. Let's see how the baby's doing. You know the process." I nodded and laid back on the bed, shifting a bit before lifting my shirt and rolling down the stretchy part of my jeans.

      "Ah, I see that you've already purchased maternity jeans." Doctor Claire smiled, gently touching places on my stomach. 

      I nodded, "Yeah I did. Lots of 'em." I chuckled. 

      "Oh yeah. I remember when having my first, I had loads of them in my closet. I wore jeans every day, if not then I wore dresses." She chuckled. I laughed lightly before she got the tube of gel after turning on the monitor. I looked over to the boys to see that they were completely satisfied with the process that was happening. "As always, it's a bit cold." She squeezed some gel onto the lower part of my tummy, making me slightly tense, but relaxed as she began to move the wand around, the monitor only showing blobs until she moved more to the side. "Ah, there you are." I saw the familiar shape of the baby, making me smile.

      "Whoa.." I heard Harry say to himself as he watched the monitor. 

      "That's the baby?" Liam asked, making me nod. 

      "Sure is." Doctor Claire confirmed, taking photos and measurements like the past times. "Here's the head.." She pointed to the head, making me smile. She moved around a little more before she stopped more to the top. "There's the bottom." I laughed lightly. The sound of the familiar heartbeat made me and the boys smile, "Sounds normal.." She mumbled to herself. "I take it you want to know the sex?" Doctor Claire asked, taking a few more photos. I nodded and felt Niall's grip on my hand tighten and loosen as he squeezed it. She moved around more and eventually began to speak. "Looks like you're carrying a little girl.." She announced. I felt my smile fall in shock. I'm having a daughter? Like the one Gramma said I would have?

      "Did you hear that, love? We're having a baby girl." Niall said, tears visible in his eyes. I laughed lightly, still in shock. If this was a dream that I was having, then maybe I'd be actually having a boy. But I'm not dreaming. 

      "Oh my God.." I laughed lightly. 

      "Congrats, I'll go get your photos." Doctor Claire says, handing me a paper towel to wipe the excess. When she left, the boys let out a quiet cheer as I wiped off the gel. I'm actually having a girl. A daughter.

      "Why don't you seem excited, pet?" Niall asked as I lifted the stretchy part of my pants. 

      "I-I am. Just a little shocked." 

      "You look like you saw a ghost." Harry says. I cleared my throat, putting my shirt down. 

      "It's just... Before Gramma died, she... She said that she saw my daughter..." My voice was barely above a whisper as I felt a lump form in my throat. 

      "For real?" Zayn asked quietly. 

      I nodded, "Yeah. But, it makes me happy." I smile reassuringly. I didn't want them to think that I wasn't happy that I was having a daughter. Of course I was. I was ecstatic. I was just surprised with the results because Gramma basically just told the future. That's freaking amazing!

      "She basically told the future!" Louis says excitedly. I laughed as the doctor came back in with the photos. I smiled as she handed them to me. 

      "Here are your photos. Make sure that you stop by the front to make the next appointment." She smiles. 

      "Thank you." 

      "Have a good day." 

      "You too."

      By the time we got home, my phone was blowing up, making me slightly annoyed and the mood swings from pregnancy weren't very helpful. I grabbed my phone from my pocket as I walked behind the boys into the house. I was greeted by many messages from Dee asking if I had found out yet. Which, I responded to as I removed my shoes and closed the door. I walked to the living room, plopping on the couch and finishing the message.

To Dee: Yes.

From Dee: Are you gonna tell me???

To Dee: Mmm... Nah. You guys are gonna wait ;)

From Dee: WTH WHYYYY?!!

To Dee: To surprise ya ;)

From Dee: ugh, you suck. I'll tell comadre

To Dee: Love ya too :)

      I put my phone down and stood up, going to the kitchen where the boys had already helped themselves to the things in the fridge. I rubbed my tummy, thinking of what I was wanting, but didn't find anything that satisfied my needs. I moved to the pantry, settling on a Honey Bun and some Goldfish. "Cravings?" Niall asked. 

      I nodded, "But there's nothing good.." I complained. 

      "Well, what are you craving?" Harry asked. 

      I shrugged, "I don't know, like something sweet and something not." I tried to explain, but only failed. 

      "Eh, it's fine. These will do." I walked back over to the couch and turned on the TV, flipping through channels and chewing on my Honey Bun.

      I settled on watching whatever was on Nickelodeon, which so happened to be Spongebob. I lifted my feet and onto the coffee table, feeling extremely lazy and not wanting to do anything. What would I name my daughter? I know I had the top 3 that I told Niall, and those were still my options. I love the name Eliana, but I wanted to name something that meant something to me like Idamar after my Gramma or Josephine after my Grampa.

      I don't know... I still had some time to decide before the baby was born.
