CHAPTER FOUR:

It had been a month since Dan and Serena told all the people important to them that Serena was pregnant. Serena could already picture their little family.

Serena was lying on her bed thinking of how perfect their family will be when Dan walked into their bedroom. Dan noticed Serena just laying there starring off into space with a hand on her stomach. Dan walked over to Serena and gently put his hand over hers. Immediately Serena looked up at Dan. Dan smiled at Serena before asking her what she was thinking about. Kissing her on the cheek he said "A penny for your thoughts?"

"David or Ella?" Serena wondered as she put her head on his chest.

"What?" he smiled sweetly, not knowing what his wife was saying.

"Boy or girl? Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?"

"I think it will be a boy, a beautiful baby boy with brown hair, and deep navy eyes. Just like yours. A perfect mixture of both of us, I just want him to look like you."

"Our baby should look like both of us," Serena stated.

"Okay, our baby will look just like both of us, but baby you need to get dressed; we have a doctor appointment in an hour to check up on the baby."

"Fine, now I need to shower… if you want to join I know I won't mind…" Serena trailed off walking towards their bathroom with a smirk on her face, taking articles of clothing off slowly as if she was teasing Dan

Dan had a huge grin on his face as he quickly followed her.


Half an hour later Dan and Serena emerged from the shower. Dan wrapped a towel around Serena and then himself. They quickly got dressed and were on their way to the doctors.

As they walked into the doctors Dan held Serena's hand with their fingers entwined together. They checked in with the receptionist and waited for the doctor to be ready for them. Serena saw all the other women there with the protruding stomachs and wondered if Dan was still going to love her as much when her stomach grew like those.

Serena looked at Dan with what Dan saw as nerves before he carefully asked her what was on her mind.

"What is it baby?"

"Will you still love me the same when I'm showing like crazy?"

"Oh Serena, of course I will! Nothing can make me love you any less."

Serena smiled and leaned her head on Dan's shoulder, she knew Dan would never love her any less but loved the reassurance Dan gave her.

Moments later Serena heard her name being called.

"Mrs. Humphrey"

When Dan and Serena stood up, Dan gently took Serena's hand in his before following the nurse.

"We are going to be in room 5," The nurse announced.

Everyone walked down the hall and entered room 5. Serena got up on the examining table and Dan took a seat in the chair against the wall. The nurse asked Serena all the normal check up questions.

"Dr. Obron should be in shortly," The nurse announced before exiting the room.

"I've never been to one of these doctors before," Dan said.

"I would hope not, this is a women doctor and the only reason for you to be at one if with a girlfriend and wife, and I have been with you since freshman year of college," Serena went on.

Dan laughed and Serena's rambling.

A few moments later there was knocking at the door and then Dr. Obron walked in.

"Hello Serena, is this your husband?" Dr. Obron asked.

"Yes, Dan this is Dr. Obron, Dr. Obron this is my husband, Dan," Serena introduced.

The men shook hands before the doctor washed his.

"Serena how have you been feeling this month?" The doctor inquired.

"I had a little bit of morning sickness and I was nauseous around food a lot."

"Those all seem like normal pregnancy symptoms."

"Are you both ready to see your baby?" The doctor asked.

Dan and Serena both nodded. Dan got up from the chair he was seated in and walked over to where Serena was and took hold on her hand.

Serena lay down on the table and lifted her shirt. The doctor put the gel on Serena's small baby bump then performed the ultrasound.

Dr. Obron showed them the best he could the baby. It was still very small, almost the size of a tennis ball.

"The baby seems to be very healthy Serena. I would like to see you back in one month for your monthly check-up," Dr. Obron said before leaving the examining room.

They were given the print out of the sonogram before they made their next appointment.


Dan and Serena decided to walk through Central Park before going home. After about ten minutes of walking it started to snow. Snow was very important and special to Dan and Serena.

Dan and Serena continued to walk as the ground collected a light snow dust. All of a sudden they both stopped walking and Serena felt Dan literally sweep her off her feet. She smiled and nestled her head into the crook of his neck.


Twenty minutes later they got home. They were both soaking wet and freezing. While Serena was changing out of her soaking clothes Dan lit the fire and made them both hot chocolate.

Once they were both freed from the wet clothes they cuddled up together and feel asleep in each other's arms with a grin on their faces.
