Hey guys, so I'm going to start keeping score for what I should do: boy or girl? So far, the score is:
BoyGirl
5 5
So, the score is all tied up. Don't forget, you can vote more than once. Anyways, I have picked five names for girls and five for boys, so you guys vote. I'm also going to tell you who gave them to me.
Girls: Faith (Waffleslover98), Bella (Waffleslover98), Arriella (tytyrocks4u), Piper Grace (Harmonizergirl1202), Scarlette (Harmonizergirl1202)
Boys: Alex (Gmwfan2017), Joshua Gabriel Matthews Jr. (Guest), Jonah (Waffleslover98), Wesley (Waffleslover98), Hudson (this one I just came up with, I just really love the name)
Okay guys, so you can vote on the names and the gender. I will not tell you guys the score for the names, but I will continue telling you guys the score for the gender. Also, please forgive my terribleness, unfortunately, I am very bad about writing characters ooc, but I'm going to try my best not to. Okay, let's do this!
(Maya's POV)
"You're what?!" Mrs. Matthews asked.
"I'm going to be an aunt!" Riley exclaimed.
"Wrong," Josh replied. "You're getting a new cousin."
Riley giggled. Mr. Matthews didn't seem to know what to say. "Cory?" Josh asked.
"I just, I can't believe, wow," he finally said.
I hugged him. "I love you guys," I said, and Mrs. Matthews and Riley joined in on the hug, and finally Joshy did too.
Auggie came back into the room. "What's everybody so happy about?" he asked, walking closer to all of us.
"You're getting a new cousin!" Josh replied, picking him up and putting him on his shoulders. "Man, you're getting too big for this."
Auggie laughed as Josh put him down, then turned to me. "So, you're having a baby?" he asked.
"Yep," I replied.
"I hope it's a boy," he said, then turned to Riley. "When will you have a baby?"
"Not for a long time," Mr. Matthews replied for his daughter. "A very long time."
Riley giggled. "I don't know yet," she told Auggie. "Not until Lucas and I are both ready."
"Which will not be for a long time," Mr. Matthews said again.
Mrs. Matthews shook her head. "You are so overprotective," she said.
Riley, Auggie, the Matthews, Josh and I said our goodbyes, then Josh drove me back to the apartment. "I guess I'd better tell my mom what's going on," I said, picking up my phone.
I heard it ring four times before it went to voicemail. "No answer?" Josh guessed.
"Yep," I replied.
Josh smiled. "Um, hey, I was thinking," he started. "How about next week we go down to Phili? You know, just to let my parents know about the baby and all."
"Sure," I replied. "Sounds great. Is Morgan gonna be there?"
"Probably, she's been visiting home a lot more lately," he said, before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Cool," I said. "You know how awesome your sister is."
"Not as awesome as you," he replied.
I chuckled a little. "Hey, Josh, I'm getting tired," I told him.
"Okay, well, you aren't staying anywhere alone, so, I'll make myself comfortable," he replied.
He picked me up and put me into the bed. Kissing my forehead, he said, "By the way, I'm thinking that in a few weeks, we should go looking for apartments."
"Good idea," I said, then fell into a peaceful sleep.
Within the next week, Josh and I had scheduled to go to Philadelphia in two weeks, and I had my first ultra sound.
The nurse ushered me into a room not unlike the one I had been in the week before. This one, however, had a machine in it that would tell me about my baby.
Josh sat with me and held me hand, rubbing the back of it with his thumb. "I really can't wait to see this," he whispered.
I smiled at him. The doctor walked in. "Maya, great to see you," she said.
Yes, this doctor is a she. This was my new, regular doctor, Dr. Carmen. "How are you feeling?" she asked.
"Pretty good," I replied.
She put some gooey stuff on my stomach, then proceeded with the process. Soon, a small figure emerged on the black and white screen. "Hey Baby," Josh said to my stomach. "I'm your daddy."
I smiled up at the screen. The small figure, I just couldn't believe he or she was mine. "Dr. Carmen?" I asked. "When will we know what he or she is?"
"Soon," Dr. Carmen replied. "Probably in about a month or so. Why?"
"I just want to know," I said.
Josh smiled at our baby. "I don't care what he or she is," he said. "I just want a happy, healthy, little baby I can call my own."
Dr. Carmen helped me wipe the junk off my stomach, and we were soon outside the hospital again, with another ultra sound scheduled for a month later. That was when we would get to see whether it was a boy or a girl. (This will be chapter 4 or 5)
As Josh and I got into the car, I looked over at him. "Be honest with me," I said. "What do you want?"
"I really want a girl," he said. "A little version of you, but, I'll be the happiest man in the world either way. What do you want?"
"A little boy," I replied. "A tiny Josh. A sweet little version of you."
"You've changed since we were kids," he suddenly said.
"Yeah, I guess I have," I replied. "Less carefree."
"Yeah," he said.
We got home, and I almost immediately fell asleep on the couch, josh must have moved me to my bed though, because when I woke up, that's where I was. He was in a chair in my room. He smiled at me. I smiled back. He walked over to the bed, and wrapped his arms around me. "Hey," I said. "Since when do we do this a lot?"
"Since I found out I'm becoming a father," he replied.
I chuckled.
A week later, we were on a plane, heading toward Philadelphia. I fell asleep halfway through the ride, on Josh's shoulder. When we arrived, we got a rental car and headed to his house. When we got there, we got the surprise of our lives. Well, I guess really, just of my life.
And done! Sorry for the shortness. Anyways, I'll try to update every day, but I might not be able to. Another thing, Girl Meets Anna will be continued when I get into Summer Vacation. Sorry, I just don't have a lot of time for it right now, and I have wanted to do this story for a while now. Also, I'm updating GMTNE soon as well. Maybe not tonight, but tomorrow I know I will. Don't forget to vote: girl or boy? And what name you want!
Thank you and Lacey! :)
