Sophia had another doctor's appointment to find out the gender of her baby. She was actually quite excited. She just needed to know that it was going to be a girl. Luke met Sophia at the doctor's since she was coming from work. And of course Luke was there before her again.
They waited for ten minutes in the waiting room and then a nurse called them back. The nurse weighed Sophia, which she hated, and took her blood pressure. When the nurse finished, she showed Sophia to her room.
"Are you nervous?" Luke asked, holding Sophia's hand as they waited for the doctor to enter their room.
"I don't know... I think I'm more excited than nervous at the moment." She said. "I'm happy you're here with me... Well with me period. I don't think I would be able to go through this by myself, like I thought I could."
"I'm glad I'm here too."
Sophia lay down on the table, when her doctor entered, and lifted her shirt up. He poured a cold, blue gel on her growing stomach. Both Sophia and Luke were staring at the screen, both excited to see their child and what it looks like. Sophia held Luke's hand tighter when a clear image of the baby was shown, with them hearing the heartbeat.
"Luke." She smiled. "Look."
"Would you like to know what you're having?" Dr. Killicks asked.
"That would be nice to know." Luke said.
"What are you both hoping for?"
"I want a girl but Luke wants a boy."
The doctor zoomed up on the screen and he could immediately tell what the gender is. "Congratulations, it's a boy. Right here are his two legs, and right here in the middle is his penis." Luke leaned down and gave Sophia a quick kiss on her lips. "Well we are about done here. Do you have any questions?"
"No."
The doctor handed Sophia her sonogram from today's appointment and then made a new appointment before she left. Luke walked Sophia to her car where they talked for a couple of minutes before she needed to get back to the museum.
"Are you upset?" Luke asked.
Sophia shook her head. "I'm really happy. And I'm glad he's healthy." She assured Luke. "I hope he looks just like you."
"What would you like for dinner? I should probably stop at the store on the way home. Do you need me to pick anything up?"
"Oh, you know what I've been craving a lot of lately?" She asked. "Pick me up a bag of those sour cream and cheddar potato chips. Oh and some strawberries, oranges, whip cream... You know what, why don't I just text you a list of foods to pick up."
Luke laughed. "What would you like for dinner?"
"Oh, Luke, could we have pizza tonight?" Sophia asked. "That sounds really good."
"Really, pizza?" He questioned. "I feel like you should be eating healthier."
Sophia smiled and got on her tippy toes, giving Luke a kiss. "I love you. I need to go."
"I'll see you when you get home then with dinner ready."
Before heading home after work, Sophia decided to stop at a baby/ maternity store. She hasn't bought any maternity clothes yet, since she's still pretty small, but her dresses and bottoms she wears to work feel as if they will rip when she sits down. Although she was on the hunt of maternity clothes, Sophia couldn't help herself and bought a couple of baby outfits and even a long pregnancy pillow.
Luke was surprised when Sophia came home, carrying three shopping bags and a long pillow.
"What ya got there?" He asked. "Looks like you did some shopping."
"Okay, I was only supposed to get a couple of work maternity clothes but when I saw these..." Sophia pulled out two newborn outfits. "I couldn't help myself."
"And what about that?" He asked, pointing to the pillow. "What is it?"
"I've heard it makes sleeping more comfortable for pregnant woman. But the thing is, I'm basically kicking you out of bed."
"And why is that?" Luke grinned, crossing his arms in front of him.
"Because this is my new cuddle buddy and he's quite comfortable."
"That's it, it's going back." He quickly said. "I'm your cuddle buddy."
"Relax Luke." Sophia laughed. "I probably won't use it until I'm seven months and always uncomfortable anyways."
"How about you just use me?"
Sophia smiled and reached up, giving Luke a soft kiss on the side of his lips. "I love you, Luke."
After dinner Sophia and Luke sat on their old couch, with a light weight blanket on top of them, cuddling. Sophia lay her head on Luke's shoulder as he played with her hands.
"What do you think we should name him?" Sophia asked. "I kind of like Mason."
"Mason? No." Luke quickly said.
"No?" She repeated. "Okay. Asher?"
"Mathew? Jackson? Logan?" He suggested.
"Chase Collins? No." She said. "Wait... What did you just say?"
"Mathew. Jackson. Logan."
"I think Mathew and Logan is cute. Which one do you like more?"
"Logan."
"Hey, I have an idea." Sophia said, sitting up. "What is your middle name?"
"Andrew why?" Luke asked.
"Asher should be his middle name. Logan Asher Collins."
"So he'll have the same initials as me."
"Yeah, usually the first born son is named after the dad or something commemorating the dad." Sophia explained.
"I've heard that."
"Do you like it?"
"It's perfect... Just like you."
