"Oh stop it." Jade rolls her eyes, smiling as she looks out the window of Beck's truck

"I'm being one hundred percent serious." He laughs "I really do think it's a girl."

"There's no way, it's for sure a boy." She insists "And when I am right and you are wrong, you owe me a foot rub."

"I just gave you a foot rub."

"Well, I want another one." She smirks

"Okay, fine." He agrees "If I'm right, what do I get?"

"Bragging rights."

"Seems fair." Beck laughs, grabbing her hand in his as he drives and pressing a kiss to it "You sure you don't want a little girl though?"

"I never said I didn't want a girl." Jade reminds him "I just said I didn't think it was a girl. There's a difference."

"So, what do you want then?" He asks her "Ignore what you think, what do you want?"

"A healthy baby."

"Spoken like a true mother." Beck smirks "Look at you."

"Look at me."

They're on their way to Jade's twenty week appointment. She's halfway through with her pregnancy now, and she's going to get to have another ultrasound done. Not only will they get to see their baby again, but they'll finally get to find out if they're expecting a son or daughter. It's the first appointment that Kaitlyn isn't attending with them, they want it to be a special moment just the two of them when they find out the gender.

Jade is anxious from the moment they enter the parking lot. What she told Beck in the car had been true, the only thing she really cares about is whether or not the baby is healthy. She can't imagine what she'll do if it isn't, not to mention the judgement and blame that will probably be focused on her simply because she's a teen parent. But she's terrified that the baby is a girl. She doesn't know if she'll know what to do with a girl, she certainly doesn't feel like she's an adequate role model. If it's a boy though, Beck would be the role model. And she would just be Mom, her son's first love. But Beck would be so cute with a little girl...

"Hear that?" Her doctor smiles as a whirring sound fills the examination room

"Is that the heartbeat?" Jade asks

"Sure is."

"It sounds more like an actual heartbeat now." Beck says "Before it was just purring."

"Just wait until you get closer to the birth." The doctor tells them "It'll be so surreal."

"I can't wait."

"Are we finding out the gender today?"

"Yes please." Beck and Jade both say in unison

"Alright." The doctor laughs "Do I get to tell you? Or am I writing it down for a gender reveal of some sort?"

"Just tell us, please." Jade says

She thinks gender reveals and the parties that go with them are stupid. This is a special moment for her and Beck, they'll tell their friends and family later.

"Alright, well..." The doctor sighs, moving the wand around Jade's abdomen "Congratulations. It looks like you two have yourselves a perfectly healthy baby boy."

"Really?" Jade grins

"Really."

"I'll take that foot rub as soon as we get home please." She says to Beck, turning her head towards him

"Alright." He chuckles, leaning down to kiss her "I love you so much, Jade."

"I love you too." She smiles up at him "We're having a boy!"

"I know." He smiles back "And I can't wait to meet him."


There's a familiar car sitting in the driveway at Jade's mother's house when Beck drops her off after the appointment. She didn't think that her father would care so much about the gender of the baby, but she knows that Angie probably does so that's most likely why they're here. Beck comes inside with her and they're immediately met at the door by Tyler, who appears to be bouncing off the walls with excitement.

"Jade!" He exclaims "Did they tell you? Did you find out? Do you know?"

"Yes, yes, and, yes!" She jokingly mimics her little brother's energy, which causes Beck to laugh "What's gotten into you, Tyler?"

"I'm just excited to find out if the baby is a girl or a boy!" He tells her "Can you tell us now? Everyone is in the kitchen!"

"Hmm..." Jade hums "What if I tell you, and then you can be the one to tell Mom and Dad and Uncle John and Aunt Angie? What do you think, Beck?"

"I think that'll be amusing." Beck admits "What do you think, Tyler? You like that idea?"

"Yeah!"

"Alright." Jade leans down and whispers something into her brother's ear, and then he takes off running

"IT'S A BOOOOOOOOOOOY!" The eight year-old exclaims, running into the kitchen to tell the rest of Jade's family "I get a nephew!"

"Really?" Kaitlyn is grinning as Beck and Jade enter the kitchen "A boy?"

"A perfectly healthy boy." Beck tells her, placing a hand on Jade's stomach "Still measuring for a July due date."

"Oh, congratulations sweet heart." Kaitlyn smiles, hugging her daughter "You too, Beck."

"Thank you."

"Beck." John reaches out to shake Beck's hand "Congrats."

"Thank you, sir."

"I'm still not thrilled about the teen pregnancy thing, and I'm certainly not condoning it..." John says to Jade "But I must admit, the idea of a grandson is pretty exciting. Congratulations."

"Thanks, Dad." Jade smiles, opening her arms for a hug

"What's his name?" Tyler asks eagerly

"Oh, we don't know yet, Buddy." Beck chuckles "That's an issue for another day."


He's supposed to hang out with Andre and Robbie later that night, but Beck wants to go home and see his parents first. Jade offers to go with him to tell them, since he was with her when she told her family, but Beck tells her to stay home and be with her family. Besides, she has plans with Cat and Tori that night too, and he wouldn't want to cut into that.

James and Priya are in the living room when he arrives home. His father is reading a newspaper and his mother is knitting while the evening news plays on the television in the background. Beck stands in the doorway for a moment, but they don't notice him. So he clears his throat to make his presence known.

"Oh, hey son. Didn't even hear you come in." James looks up from his newspaper "I thought you were going to Andre's tonight?"

"I am." Beck nods "In a few minutes, actually. I just wanted to come tell you guys in person, well...it's a boy. The baby, that is. Jade and I are having a boy. You're going to have a grandson."

"Wow." James says, looking from his wife to their son "Congratulations, how does it feel to know that?"

He's smiling, which Beck didn't expect. His parents rarely smile when they talk about the baby, but his dad is smiling, and his mom doesn't look completely distraught for once. Beck doesn't realize it, but he's smiling too.

"Exciting." Beck admits "And a little terrifying, but mostly exciting."

"And everything still looks healthy?" Priya asks "No complications?"

"Not one." Beck shakes his head "He's perfectly healthy, and measuring right where he's supposed to be."

"That's good." She nods, going back to her knitting "Perhaps my next project should be a little blue blanket."

That makes Beck smile too. Just like his father assured him, his mother was coming around. He never doubted that she would, but it's comforting to see the proof in front of him.

He says goodnight to his parents and makes his way over to Andre's house. Robbie is already there and both of his friends greet him at the door, and then they make their way to the basement where Andre already has his Xbox set up and waiting.

"So how did the appointment go today?" Andre asks as they sit down "Everything with the little dude or dudette still good?"

Their friends didn't know they were finding out the baby's gender that day. It was Jade's idea not to tell them so that no one was pestering them throughout the day. They had both arranged to see friends that night so they could surprise them with the news.

"The little dude is good." Beck grins, grabbing his controller "He's perfectly healthy still."

"He?" Robbie asks "Like you know he's a boy or you're assuming he's a boy?"

"We know he's a boy." Beck nods "We just found out today."

"Really?" Andre exclaims "Why didn't you text us when you found out? Oh my gosh, the girls are going to flip."

"Don't say anything to them yet!" Beck warns his friends "Jade is going to tell them tonight. We just didn't say anything right away because we've been wanting to tell people in person. But yes, it's a boy."

"This calls for a celebration." Andre remarks, standing up and jogging up the stairs quickly "Stay there."

"Alright..." Beck laughs

"So do you have any ideas for names?" Robbie asks him

"Nah, not yet." Beck shakes his head "A crib is next on our list of things to do, then clothes and diapers and then a name."

"Alright." Andre reappears in the basement with three cans in his arms "No one tell my uncle I swiped these, okay?"

"Beer?" Beck laughs as he takes one of them "Really?"

"S'a special occasion." Andre tells him "You're having a little boy! This game squad is about to have a new member."


"Dammit!" Cat pouts, crossing her arms and leaning back against Jade's couch "I was hoping for a girl."

They're having a movie night just the three of them. No boys allowed, except for Tyler who had come in to say goodnight to them about half an hour prior. There's a half-eaten pizza on the coffee table in front of them, and Les Miserables is playing on the TV. Jade had waited until they had finished eating to tell her friends about the baby, and she's relieved to not have to keep it to herself anymore.

"Oh come on, Cat." Tori chuckles "We all know you'll be so excited to meet him and love him just the same."

"Well yeah, duh!" Cat exclaims "Baby girls are just way more fun to dress up."

"All babies are fun to dress up."

"I suppose."

"He's healthy, Cat." Jade reminds her "That's all that's important."

"Yeah, I know." Cat sighs "I'm happy for you, Jadey. Like so happy, really I am. But now there's zero chance of you naming him Cat."

"Cat Stevens was a dude." Tori shrugs "But may I suggest Victor?"

"Cat Stevens was his stage name." Jade laughs "So no, sorry. Cat is out of the picture. And we haven't really talked about it yet, but I'm going to assume Victor is as well. Sorry, Tor."

"S'okay." Tori assures her "I'll live."

"Guess we should enjoy these last few girl's nights while we have them, huh?" Cat smirks

"What do you mean?" Jade asks her "Just because I have a kid doesn't mean we still can't hang out."

"I think she means that since the baby's a boy, they won't really be true 'girl's nights' anymore." Tori points out "Which is totally fine."

"Ah." Jade nods "Well, we still have about four months before we need to worry about that. And besides, we can always send him with the boys every once and a while. There will still be girl's nights. I promise."

They continue to watch the movie, occasionally making small-talk about the plot but mostly just watching. Eventually, Cat speaks up again.

"Soooo..." She says, making eye contact with Jade "When are we going shopping for the little guy?"

"Hopefully soon." Jade smiles "We just need to wait for our next paychecks."

Her phone lights up in her lap and she sees a text from Beck come across the screen. She smiles as she opens it and reads his message:

just checking in on you and Little Man and wanted to let you know that i love you both.

She moves her fingers across the screen and types out a quick response:

we're both doing great, and we love you too.

"Baby daddy?" Tori asks when she notices Jade smiling at her phone

"Yeah." Jade chuckles

It's weird to hear Beck be referred to as that, even if it is true.

"He bein' cute?" Tori teases her

"Yeah, he is." Jade grins "Just checking in."
