Little Eyes
Chapter Two
Joe walks into the kitchen and smiles at the sight of his wife mixing a tossed salad. He silently walks over and wraps his arms around her, his hands placing themselves over the bump that has been growing on her stomach. It's not large, it looks as if Sonny took a toss pillow and stuffed it under her shirt, but it was definitely there. They also knew it was there because their three year old daughter, Destiny, had begun complaining that her mother's lap was shrinking. They had both chuckled at the look of befuddlement she had when she couldn't understand why she didn't fit so well on that beloved lap. Story time was getting uncomfortable and Destiny didn't like it.
But today Destiny was with her grandmother. Sonny's mother had decided to take her to the zoo and let the couple have a day to themselves. As Joe lightly kissed the back of Sonny's neck she realized how much they needed this day alone. It was nice to have some quiet. She shivers a bit when his hand brushes against her neck, pushing her hair to the side, and kisses her neck again. Her body acted on it's own and leaned back into him.
"It's been a nice day hm?" She sighs happily, leaning back against his chest.
Joe wraps his arms tighter around her and rests his chin on top of her head. "It has been nice." He thinks back to how they spent most of the morning together on the couch, just enjoying the quiet and the companionship. "It's been quiet." He chuckles softly.
"It's the first day I haven't thought food of any kind smelled horrendous." Sonny giggles. "I haven't gotten sick once today."
"Ssh before you jinx it." Sonny turns in his arms so that she faces him, looking up at him.
"You know I have an appointment tomorrow right?" Joe nods, remembering her mentioning that before. "They might be able to tell what it is.." her smile fills her lips and Joe can't help but smile as well. "Did you want to come then?" Joe had the studio booked to record tomorrow, but they were ahead of schedule. He'd have to call in and tell them that tomorrow was canceled.
"I'd love to come." Sonny's smile widens and she gets on her tiptoes to peck his lips.
"Thank you." she keeps smiling. Joe hadn't made it to any of her appointments yet. He was either recording or had to stay home and watch Destiny. But Sonny's mother wasn't bringing Destiny back until tomorrow afternoon so that she wouldn't have been alone while Joe was out recording and Sonny was at the doctor's.
Joe leans down and kisses Sonny gently, but it doesn't take long for Sonny to get a bit restless and take his bottom lip between hers. Joe knew what was coming. When she had been pregnant with Destiny the same stage happened. Her hormones were on hyper-drive right now, as expected. Joe leaned down and put his arms underneath her then lifted her up. Her legs automatically went around his waist as he carried her into their bedroom without even breaking the kiss.
The next morning when their alarm went off Joe groaned deeply. His hand aimlessly searched for the snooze button but instead he ended up waking his wife. Sonny glanced around the room and blushed when she saw their clothes flung in sparratic places all over the floor. She immediately grabbed the covers and pulled them over herself.
Joe chuckles to himself. "What'cha hiding for?" Sonny giggles and playfully hits his bare chest then leans down and pecks his lips.
"Good morning sleepy." She wipes her index finger over the inside of his eye to get rid of the sleep. "We need to get ready to go."
"Do we really? What happened to cuddling the morning after?" Sonny shakes her head but keeps smiling. She's careful not to knee her husband when she crawls over him, taking the sheet with her.
"Yes, really. Now get up and dressed."
"I don't want to." Joe playfully whines.
While pulling on a pair of panties and a bra, Sonny devises her plan. She hadn't begun being out of control of her emotions as of yet, but for all her sweet innocent husband knows this is her first day on the roller coaster. "Because of you I am going to have a mark on my perfect attendance record." She fakes a sniffle. "We're going to be late and then he won't have time to see us. So I'll have to reschedule and then you won't be able to come with me because you'll be in the studio so my doctor will think that you're not a good husband. You really are a good husband but you haven't been to any of my appointments with this baby yet so we just can't be late." She finally takes a breath and when Sonny feels a pair of arms wrap around her she smiles.
"We will not be late." Joe reaches into the dresser and grabs a pair of boxers while kissing the top of her shoulder. "I promise." He steps away and pulls them on then Sonny hands him a tee-shirt and he pulls that on over his head too. "It's simple. You don't do your make-up and I won't do my hair. We won't be late."
"You're going to not do your hair?" Sonny giggles. "And I'm not leaving without at least foundation and a little mascara and lip-gloss."
"Alright, fine. You do that, and I'll throw a little gel into my hair. But that's all." Joe pulls on a pair of jeans as Sonny pulls her on as well then buttons up her shirt. Joe pecks her lips then walks into the bathroom and Sonny can hear the water running. She walks in after brushing her hair and uses the mirror above the sink to do her make-up.
"You're shaving?" She giggles then does her lip-gloss.
"I am. Now stop before I-" He glares into the mirror as blood comes from the knick he just received on his cheek. Sonny giggles and kisses his cheek, but he only shakes his head smiling and finishes shaving then takes a piece of toilet paper and sticks it to the knick.
"You ready to go then?" Sonny smiles and nods so he takes her hand and they walk outside to the car.

Sonny smiles as they sit in the waiting room. She's watching a mother and father with their daughter, small enough to be here for her first check up after birth. Joe glances and sees what she's looking at then slips her hand into his and kisses her cheek. He knows that she wants another daughter so that Destiny had someone to play with her dolls with or to dress up. But Sonny also knows that Joe is desperately wanting a son to hand his guitars and baseball caps down to as an heirloom. Today, they were nervous to find out which one of them was getting what they wanted. When a nurse and comes out and calls their name both of them stand up with wide, nervous smiles and hands linked together.
They walk together down the isle to a room and the nurse opens the door, telling Sonny to go ahead and take a seat on the bed in the room, a chair next to it for Joe to sit. He looks right at the machine as Sonny slides herself up to sit on the high table.
"Is that the thing they use?" He looks at it oddly.
"Joe, come on. It's just a little tv with an ultrasound wand on it. It doesn't hurt me baby, I promise." Sonny giggles a little. "You never watched a movie that had one of those in it?"
"I'm a dude babe. I don't watch chick flicks where the girl gets pregnant and has to come in an office to get an ultrasound. And that's not the same thing that they used for us to see Destiny." He chuckles.
"Well, I assure you. It's just a machine. It's not gonna hurt me, it's just gonna show us our baby on that screen. It's a newer one than they used before too, you'll see. The image is a lot clearer." She smiles and Joe sits down in the chair provided for him. "I'm nervous." She looks at him and he takes her hand as her smile fades.
"Why babe? I thought we were happy today. We're gonna find out what it is." He smiles and she can't help but smile back a little.
"But.. you want a boy and I want another girl. No matter what one of us isn't going to get what they want. So neither of us will be ha-"
"I, for one, will be happy if I find out that is an alien in there. Because it will be our alien." Joe stands up as he speaks and softly pecks Sonny's lips. "Don't worry about that ok? I'll love it no matter what it is."
They both smile at each other and Sonny nods a little before the doctor softly knocks on her door then steps in while reading a paper that looks to be her charts. He silently walks in and turns the machine on, as it hums to life he turns and smiles at the couple. "I am Dr. Suarez" He nods and smiles at Joe. "You must be-"
Joe stands up and immediately shakes the man's hand. "The husband." He chuckles. "Sorry that I haven't been here with her much."
"It's alright, you're here now aren't you?"
They exchange smiles before Dr. Suarez asks Sonny to go ahead and lay down while pulling the machine over to where it reaches her. He lifts her shirt up just enough and Sonny reaches for Joe's hand after she makes things a little easier for him and unbuttons her jeans, pulling them down just a little.
"That's warmer than the last time." Sonny states as Dr. Suarez puts some gel onto her stomach.
"Must be a new bottle." He takes the wand and flicks the screen on, pressing the plastic against Sonny's abdomen and using the gel to slide it around until the image on the screen reveals the baby-shaped object that has grown quite a lot since it was last seen over a month ago.
Sonny smiles widely and squeezes Joe's hand gently. They'd done this before and they only exchanged loving smiles to show how much they loved that image. As the sound of their baby's little heart pounds through the room and the image on the screen mirrors it's movements, they simply continue to watch it with proud smiles.
"Did you want to know the sex of your baby?" Dr. Suarez speaks up after writing down the growth of the baby on his papers. Sonny and Joe nod their heads as she giggles, seeing the image move and feeling the movement at the same time. The doctor smiles, "You're going to have a boy."
A/N: Here we are once again (: Hello there. I guess this is a little of a cliffhanger, but it kinda isn't. There's gonna be one more chapter to this story, then the first chapter of the sequel I already posted. And then I'll add two more chapters to that story as well. It'll all flow better when the next chapter in this story is done. … I hope.
