Sequel :D
Comments pleaseee? 3

"Wait!" I called hurriedly from where I was sitting. "I'm…I'm sorry I don't want to know the sex." I rushed the words out everyone in the room was looking at me confused. "I'm sorry, I really don't want to know the sex…" I said the words quietly, though slower, afraid of the reactions I'd be bombarded with.

"Kaiden, you don't want to know the sex?" Rian asked calmly.

I shook my head. "No, I like not knowing."

"But it'd be easier when we buy you baby presents and to get his room ready." Zack then tried to reason. I gave him a stern look. "Or hers…" He added quickly.

"Kaiden Hope!" Spencer started loudly. "I came all the way down here and I want to know my godchild's sex now let the doc tell us what junk it has." I started laughing. "It's not funny. Please Kai!" she was close to begging.

"I don't know you guys…" I said looking back at the ultrasound picture.

"Don't do it if you really don't want to." Rian said lightly in my ear as I gripped his hand.

"How are you going to buy it clothes if you don't know the sex?" Alex questioned after a moment.

"Well it's a baby, it wont mind either way what it's wearing." I rationalized. "Besides there's gender neutral clothes."

"But when it's a girl, you're going to want to go and buy her all kinds of cute little outfits and little dresses and frilly socks and cute little Wizard of Oz glitter shoes. If you find out, I can go and buy some for you that way you don't have to buy it all." She smiled as if she'd said the smartest thing in the entire world.

"Or when it's a boy," Zack started off. "You're going to want a Raven's jersey for him and a cute little tux with a tiny tie or something along those lines…"

"Good point…" I mumbled looking back at the screen. "Alright Olivia, what am I having?"

She smiled brightly. "Just one moment." She turned the wand around, moving towards the bottom of my stomach. After a few minutes of fiddling she finally located the small area. "You sure you want to know?" I nodded quickly as Rian squeezed my hand gently. "Congratulations Miss. Merrick, you're having a baby girl."

The smile that spread across my face matched everyone else's in the room. Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the screen again. My world shifted and I realized again that this was real, and soon I'd actually be a mother. I'd be a mommy to a beautiful baby girl. I couldn't even contain the joy I was feeling, I gave out a small squeak; not able to manage any other form or speech. Rian leaned down and kissed the top of my head lightly. "Congrats Kai." I looked up at him and smiled even wider, if that was remotely possible.

"I told all of you!" Spencer burst. "I told you it'd be a little girl." I chuckled at her as they all turned back towards the screen. For the first time since I got the news I frowned, I suppose my dreams really had just been that; no little boy… I pushed the thoughts from my mind, that didn't matter; I just wanted her to be healthy.

"A little girl's good too, we can still add her to the band, teach her the guitar." Jack said looking around the room. I shook my head laughing as they debated which instrument would be better for her.

"You guys, she's going to learn bass; I am her actual uncle." Zack interjected as they fought.

"Well, would you like an updated picture?" Olivia asked just me.

"That would be wonderful, thank you." I smiled at her as I rubbed off the stubborn gel.

"No problem, and congrats again." She squeezed my shoulder quickly and left the room.

"Alright all of you she's not going to learn any of them any time soon, so it doesn't matter." I interrupted, sitting up and pulling my dress down my body.

"Oh! We should go to the store and get some paint to paint her room." Jack said hopping up and down.

"Jack, I can't paint her room; it's Zack house and he's moving soon." I pointed out.

The room was silent for a moment, in an awkward pause. "Well we also have to pick out a name for the little monster." Spencer said quickly.

"Monster?" I asked laughing. "It's not your child, Spence." Just then Olivia returned with the picture and said goodbye to us all, after reminding me to schedule another check up.

I did as she said and walked down to the parking lot with everyone. As we walked down Spencer and Jack skipped with their arms locked, Alex and Zack were having a discussion about when they went out to California for the new album and Rian hung back by me. "Well, are you disappointed it's not a boy?" I asked finally breaking out silence.

"Not in the least, she'll be beautiful like you." He said as if it were obvious. I looked at him in shock for a moment and then whispered a quiet thank you. I pulled out the picture again and smiled. "See? She already is." He wrapped his arm around my back and pulled me into a one armed hug.

"You're crazy, Rian." But I smiled all the same, as we both turned to look at the picture in my hand. "She is pretty cute though."

"Yeah." He said, though his gaze was now fixed on me instead of the picture in my hand. "Do you want to stop for a bite to eat?"

"That sounds good." I said lamely as we approached the area where we'd all parked our cars. Spencer and Alex said their goodbyes first sliding into Alex's car and driving away. Jack and Zack hung back by Rian's car; Zack waiting for me to follow him to his and Jack waiting to get into Rian's. "Hey, Jack, do you mind switching with me? Rian and me are going to go do something for a little bit." I bit my lip nervously, hoping neither would ask too many questions.
