Chapter 7- Girl or Boy
(A quick note. Beth is now five month pregnant. R&R please I got to know if you like or not.)
Mick's POV
I woke up in my freezer with a yawn. I got out of the freezer and put on a pair of sweat pant. I walked downstairs at eight a clock in the morning. Beth wasn't up yet so I started to make breakfast. I drank some blood and made her breakfast. I cooked two fried eggs and two pieces of bacon. I poured her some orange juice and some more blood for me. I walked upstairs to greet Beth a good morning. She was not in bed, I heard the heart beats. So she wasn't far.
"Beth?"
"In the bathroom, Mick."
I walked into the bathroom after putting down the breakfast on the bed for her. I walked into the bathroom. I saw her on the scale. She was weighing herself. She turn to look at me, I smiled. But she didn't smile back. I walked up to her and she put her foot over the scale so I couldn't see.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm fat!"
"No your not Beth."
She moved her foot and the scale was 130 pounds. I looked at her and pulled her close to me.
"You only gained ten pounds."
"Yes but ten un-sexy pounds."
"Just more of you to love."
"Look Mick."
"Your glowing. Oh I cooked breakfast.''"Oh I'm not hungry…"
"Beth you have to eat… Your not fat."
I picked her up and groaned teasing making it sound that she's heavy. I put her on the bed.
"Your so heavy.'' I teased.
"See I'm getting fat."
"No your not. I'm teasing, Beth."
She slapped me on the arm. It didn't hurt but I went along with it.
"Ouch."
I knew this mood swing thingy was from being pregnant. I sighed. Her eyes went watery.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Hitting you."
"I'm fine Beth. You really think you hurt me. I'm a vampire remember. The only way you could hurt me. If you left me."
"Really?''
"Yes Beth. I love you no matter what.''
She wiped her tears away and hugged me. I held her close. She pulled away softly then looked at me.
"Today we will find out if it's a girl or boy?''
"No."
"What?"
"I'll come with you but I didn't want to know until the baby was here.''
"Your so old school."
Beth's POV
"Well okay. I want to know though. And the baby needs a check up."
"Okay what time?"
"One, right after lunch."
"Here eat breakfast."
"Okay Okay.''
I started on the eggs, Mick was such a good cook. Even knowing he was a vampire and doesn't eat. He watched me eat.
"Good?"
"Yes very."
I was almost done with it, I wasn't hungry but… I finished the meal.
"Tell the cook it was awesome."
"Tell him yourself."
I pulled Mick into a deep kiss. He kissed me back softly.
"Is that thanks?"
"Yes."
"Well I better go take a shower before hand."
I got up and Mick took my plate downstairs like the gentleman he is. I grabbed some dark skinny jeans and a white undershirt with a black button up shirt. I walked downstairs and sat on the couch and flipped on the news. I saw Mick in the kitchen. He was talking on the phone. I wondered with whom. Probably Josef, I watched him go upstairs for a shower. I sat there comfy on the couch. An hour passed and Mick came downstairs in a button up shirt and a pair of pants. I smiled at him, he smiled back at me. It was only 10:00 A.M.
"Who was that?"
"Josef."
"What did he want."
"Asking if the baby was a girl or boy so he can start buying."
"What did you tell him."
"Beth will find out today since I'm old school.."
"Okay, after the doctor I'll tell him.''
"Good."
"Then we need to come up with names."
"Okay."
I smiled at him, he pulled me into a hug.
"Want to go to the store?"
"For what?"
"For the baby."
" I don't know the gender."
"But we can look, Beth."
"Okay."
We got into his car and drove to the mall. We got out of the car and walked into the mall. The biggest mall in L.A. Mick held my hand as we walked.
"Where to first?"
"Let's go to Babies R-US."
"What?"
"Mick, it's a baby store."
"Oh.."
We walked to Babies R-US, there was so many baby things. I started to walk over to the clothes.
Mick's POV
"Beth, I'll be right back."
"Want me to come with you?"
"No."
"Okay."
I walked out of the Babies R-US. I looked around thinking, 'what ring should I buy her. When is the right time?' I kept walking about ten stores away from Beth. I walked into a Jewelry store. I walked around, a nice young lady walked up to me.
"Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for a ring."
"Oh for your girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"This one right over here look."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
I walked over to where she pointed to and saw this very pretty ring. I hoped Beth would like it. The ring was on sale only 5 grand. I just know Beth would love it, I pointed to it and the lady got it out.
"This one?"
"Yes."
"Okay, It will be 5 thousand dollars."
I handed her the money. I took the ring and put it in my jacket. I listened around me and heard someone calling my name. I knew that voice anywhere, it was Beth. I ran out of the store into the walk way and I looked around until I saw Beth. She waved me down and I ran to her side. I put a hand on her belly and smiled at her.
"Your showing."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Where were you?"
"I was looking at something but saw it was boring."
"Oh…."
"You hungry it's noon?"
"It's lunch time already.. The time just flew by."
"Let me go buy you something to eat, what do you want?"
"I want pizza, fried pickles, peaches and a smoothie to drink.''
"Okay.. You are starting to get cravings?"
"Yeah.."
The mall was packed, but we made our way to the food court. I got what she wanted, the man made a weird face at me.
"It's for my girlfriend. She's pregnant."
"Oh okay. Here you go."
I grabbed the food and went to the table Beth was waiting for her food. I handed the food over to her, which she took quickly. I watched her eat, she pushed it into her mouth fast.
"Beth slow down before you choke.''
"Sorry I'm hungry.''
"I can see that."
Beth's POV
I finished up eating, it's thirty minutes until my finding out what gender the baby is. I threw my food away and Mick and I walked out of the mall hand in hand. I heard my own blood run in my ears. Mick turned me after I got into the car.
"You ready?"
"Yeah.. I'm just really on edge"
"It's going to be okay.''
"You know you'll know what the baby's gender is at the baby shower.''
"Yeah I know but until then no one is telling me."
"Okay I won't."
It took twenty minutes to get there since it was lunch time and traffic living in Los Angeles. Mick helped me out of the car, which I didn't need any help. We walked and sat in the waiting room. I waited tapping my foot onto the ground.
"Miss Turner."
"That's me."
I got up and Mick came with me.
"Okay first of all, Mr. I-Don't-wanna-know. He doesn't want to know the gender so please write it down on a piece of paper and let me see."
"No problem."
The Doctor put cold jelly on my belly, I shivered at first. The Doctor saw the baby and so did I. Mick sat there not facing the screen or me cause he didn't want to know. The Doctor grabbed a pen and sticky note and wrote quickly. He handed me the paper and he wrote what the baby was. Miss Turner your baby is a girl. My eyes watered with happy tears. I smiled and threw the note away so Mick couldn't see. The Doctor helped me up after getting the jelly off of me. I walked over to Mick which he was sitting in the corner.
"Okay, I'm ready to go."
"Guys your baby was 100% healthy."
"Good."
"Take me to Josef's please, so I can tell him. He's been messaging me like crazy to know. But I told him you would drop me off."
"Oh I will?"
"Yes you will.''
"Okay it seems weird I'm dropping my girlfriend at my best friend's house.''
"Oh Mick.''
"Kidding."
We got into the car, and he drove me to Josef's. I got out of the car and went to his side of the car. He rolled down the window, I reached in and kissed him on the cheek.
"I'll see you in awhile."
"Bye my Beth."
I walked into Josef's office, as I opened the door up Josef ran up to me and hugged me. I was in shock at first because it was unlike Josef to do that.
"So?"
I walked into his office and said.
"It's…. a girl!"
"You and Mick are having a baby girl. So cute."
"Yeah Mick didn't want to know which is old School.."
"He is old School what does that make me Blondie?"
"Old as dirt."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
"Anyways I got it all planned out now. I'm buying the baby a cute dresser with a lot of clothes to put in it. Now I know the baby is a girl."
"Josef your going to spoil the baby."
"I will but that's what Uncle Josef is for. You and Mick need to come up with a name."
"I know but how when he does not want to know the gender?"
"He will know at the shower."
"True."
"When is the shower?""Next month, why?"
"Just wondering. And that's a enough time to get everything ready."
