The waiting room of her doctor's office wasn't the coziest, and it certainly wasn't a place you wanted to sit for any length of time, especially if it was hard to wait in the first place. The small room had a horrible false cheery yellow paint on them, and the floor was a bleached white tile.

The children had a better waiting area though, they had toys and a little couch with red, yellow and blue cushions. Their little section was cute and noticing that, Calleigh went over there and sat down in the children's waiting room instead of the one for adults. There were women carefully watching their kids over their magazines, one was doing something on a PDA, and yet another was rocking a baby that looked about 4 months old, while trying to keep an eye on her toddler. Calleigh looked at the woman and walked over to the little boy who kept pulling at his mom's pant leg and crouched down.

"Would you like to play trucks over here while your mommy helps your sister fall asleep." She smiled at the tired-looking woman and she looked confused for a second before an expression of thankfulness crossed her face and she whispered thank you to Calleigh.

"Sure!" He eagerly nodded and grabbed her hand and led her towards the small basket of toys . Boys would play with anybody who was willing to play with trucks, or in the dirt.

Some of the parent's looked at her funny as she sat down on the floor and started playing. She did a puzzle with a little girl and raced cars with a small boy. Eric sat against the wall, with the other parents on the red plastic chairs lining the walls, and could just see her playing with their own children. She would be a great mom. He smiled and watched her casually knock her tower over to let the other kids continue the game of "Who can build their tower the highest" and then stood up to sit next to Eric.

The little boy who she had played with earlier walked out of the exam room with his mom and he must have asked his mom something because she nodded and he walked over towards Calleigh.

"Thank you for paying with me, I had fun."

Calleigh was shocked at how well he spoke for as young as he looked, but smiled. "It was no problem. I had a lot of fun too."

He smiled a slightly gapped tooth smile at her, then ran to grab his mothers hand as she walked out the door with a baby carrier and a diaper bag in tow.

Eric looked at his watch and then lightly rubbed Calleigh's arm. "Our appointment is in about 5 minutes, you filled out all the new patient paperwork right?"

She nodded and motioned towards the clipboard sitting under her purse on the chair next to her.

A nurse walked into the waiting room for the gynecologist's side, and called Calleigh's name. Luckily they were close to the door and heard her . Eric gathered up all of their stuff and they walked out into the hallway to meet the nurse.

"Hi , I'm Calleigh Delko." She introduced herself.

The scrubbed nurse nodded politely. "Right this way ma'am."

She was weighed and measured then led into an exam room and told it would be about 5 minutes .

"Are you ready to find out ? "

"I already know." Calleigh rested her hand on her stomach and looked down thoughtfully. "I don't know how, but I can just feel it. I think it's a little girl too."

"You can tell it's a girl , or you want a little girl?"

"Maybe I want a little girl, but a little boy would be just as good . Or maybe it'll be both . What do you think about THAT?"

"I could deal with twins , two little babies."

She smiled and there was a knock on the door . A doctor in red and white scrubs walked in and sat on a chair and crossed her legs.

"Hi, I'm Doctor Gordon." She stood up and shook Eric's hand and Calleigh waved shyly from her place on an exam table .

"I'm Calleigh and this is my husband Eric. "

"How long have you two been married? "

"About 2 months now . "

The doctor smiled . "So, it's probably a honeymoon baby."

Calleigh blushed and looked at her shoes . The doctor laughed .

"Don't be embarrassed. Now onto the fun questions, why you think that you're pregnant ? "

She nodded and rubbed her hand across her stomach. "I took 4 home pregnancy tests, and they all came out positive . I haven't had any morning sickness or any weird cravings or anything, but I'm late. "

The doctor wrote down her symptoms on her clipboard and then set it down on the counter . "Well , the lab is running a urine test now , and that should be done in about fifteen minutes, there is almost no wait. Not a lot of people are here today, so if you just want to hang around in here I'll be back in about 20 minutes ."

"Ok, thank you."

Dr. Gordon left and Calleigh swung her feet around so that she was sitting against the wall .

Eric saw her getting nervous and got up to sit next to her. He quietly sat down and held her hand . His arm went around her back, making her feel secure . Almost automatically she snuggled into him and let her head fall down onto his shoulder. Calleigh couldn't tell how long they just sat there in a comfortable silence before she took a deep breath and started talking .

"How are you so calm ? I'm so nervous, that I can't think straight, and you're over there perfectly fine. Why does this seem highly unfair? "

Eric laughed and gently pulled at her hand and swung it back and forth softly between them . "I'm not nervous, because it will either happen or it won't. Don't be scared babe, it's not a pass/fail kind of thing, we can always try again if it's not positive.

She squeezed his hand . " Ok . "

She had managed to calm herself down almost completely when another knock came on their door and the doctor poked her head in . She saw them sitting on the exam bed together and smiled .

"Well, we have your results." Calleigh's grip tightened. "You are having a baby . "

She turned to look at Eric and there were tears in her eyes . A few fell and she hugged him tight. "We're having a baby!"

"I know." He whispered into her ear and then he kissed the top of her head and turned his attention back to the doctor .

"According to how you filled out your chart, you should be due either late December or very early January. My best guess is January 6th, but be prepared to deliver anywhere from December 22nd – January 12th. "

Eric laughed. "What a Christmas present ! "

"Yeah, I get to be a blimp for all the Christmas parties!" She said sarcastically .

She shook her head and jumped off the table . The doctor gave them a few pamphlets about pregnancy and a good diet to read over , and a few basic instructions , that should really be considered common sense . Don't smoke. Don't drink. Oddly enough though, it was exciting for Calleigh, like her pregnancy was just starting .

They thanked the doctor and walked out to the car . Eric opened her door and held it open while she got in then walked around to his side. He got in and Calleigh kissed him soundly on the lips and then whispered in his ear . "I'm going to be a mommy! "

"And , I'm going to be a daddy ! "
