Nine Months – By tiva_mcabby5

A little story about Linda and Danny and if they had another baby (which they should; that would be adorable) that was to be a one shot but got a lot of positive feedback …The perspectives will change from chapter to chapter…sometimes being a Blue Bloods character, sometimes Maeve, and sometimes the narrator (me).

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT a mother and I am NOT pregnant. Therefore, I don't know that much about pregnancy and/or ultrasounds, etc. I'm a 16 year old writer, so please don't criticize me on any inaccuracies regarding pregnancy, etc. Also, apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes…I'm not perfect and I'm tired. Also, I know babies can't hear at this stage, but we're pretending Maeve knows what's going on.

Ten Weeks

Today, it was Sunday dinner. That's always my favorite part of the week. It's always so yummy! Last Sunday, the food made Mommy sick. Everyone was confused about it (except her and Daddy), so Daddy just explained that she must have the stomach bug. I don't think Grandpa was fooled, though. He knows something's up.

I haven't made Mommy be sick since that night, though, which makes both Mommy and Daddy very happy. I can tell that Daddy hates seeing Mommy be sick. I hope he's not angry at me, because I really don't like seeing Mommy sick, either.

Anyways, we drove to Grandpa's house a couple of hours before dinner to hang out with Grandpa and Great-Grandpa Henry. There's this one part on the road that's really bumpy, and that's always so much fun to go over.

I'm still not making Mommy's belly show, so no one (except Mommy, Daddy, and apparently Grandpa) knows that I exist. That was all about to change.

"Are you feeling any better, Linda?" Aunt Erin asked as she passed the mashed potatoes to Daddy.

"Huh?" Mommy asked, thinking that Aunt Erin knew already. "Oh, yes. Much better. Must have been a 24-hour thing." Right. Daddy looked and smiled at Mommy, who was completely red in the face.

This did not go unnoticed by Great-Grandpa Henry. "All right, you two," he said, gesturing at Mommy and Daddy, who were stifling giggles. "What gives?"

"Busted," Grandpa whispered.

"What do you mean, Dad?" Aunt Erin asked, completely confused.

"Why don't you ask your brother?" Grandpa said, looking at Mommy and Daddy, who were both speechless.

"Danny?"

Mommy and Daddy knew they had no choice but to tell everyone right then and there. "Would you care to do the honors, babe?" Daddy asked Mommy.

"I asked you, Danny," Aunt Erin interrupted.

"Alright," Mommy said. "We'll say this together."

"Alright," Daddy gulped.

"In about 30 weeks," Mommy started.

"We're going to have to make room at this table for one more," Daddy finished.

Grandpa was smiling from ear to ear, but everyone else had no idea what they were talking about. Then Aunt Erin got it. "You're…" she whispered.

Mommy and Daddy nodded. "Pregnant, yeah," Mommy said, smiling as big as Grandpa.

There was about half a second of complete silence, and then Mommy and Daddy were bombarded with questions, hugs, and "congratulations" from everybody.

"I knew it!" Great-Grandpa Henry exclaimed.

"You did not know it!" Grandpa laughed back. "I did, though."

"When are you due?" Aunt Erin asked Mommy after she hugged her.

"Late September. The 26th," Mommy answered, hugging Nicky.

Sean and Jack were excited too, but Sean had a confused look on his face. "Dad?" he asked. "Where do babies come from?"

The look on Daddy's face was priceless, and everyone, except for him and Sean, started laughing. "Umm," he said, gulping again. "Well, do you know what a stork is?"

Sean nodded. "A really big bird."

"Exactly. Well, storks deliver babies on doorsteps." Daddy nodded, satisfied with his answer.

"…Okay…" Sean said, not sure if he should believe him.

Uncle Jamie quickly changed the subject. "When did you find out?" he asked.

"A month ago," Daddy said.

"A month?" Great-Grandpa Henry shouted in disbelief. "You left us in the dark for a month?"

"Sorry, Pops. We wanted to be sure," Daddy replied.

"Let's have a toast!"Grandpa said, even though dinner had already started. The adults raised their wine glasses and Linda, Nicky, Jack, and Sean raised their waters. "To family," he said. "And to this new little baby that will be welcomed with open arms."

"Cheers!" everyone said happily.

"We have ultrasound pictures as well," Mommy said. She passed around the pictures of me that had been taken yesterday. Everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed. I already felt loved in this crazy family.
