A/N: It's been a little while since I updated and I'm sorry about that. I've had a lot of trouble with the next chapter, which still isn't finished. I quite enjoyed this chapter though, so I hope you do as well.

Updates are going to be pretty slow from now on. I've got some hugely important exams coming up, so I really need to start focusing on school. I don't do that enough as it is, so I'd better start now! Haha.

The story isn't going on Hiatus, but updates will be very slow. I will still update, when I can. :) I don't want to drop this story, I promise I'm going to keep going.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Happy Reading!

Chapter Nine:

Bella's Point of View:

"Did you want to talk about names? Or are you just going to sit there worrying?" Matt reaches over the centre console and squeezes my hand.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, sorry," I sigh deeply.

"Baby, I've already told you that there's nothing to worry about. It'll be fine, so just don't worry, okay?"

I look over at him just as he smiles at me. "Alright. So, names,"

Matt keeps his concentration on the road. "Hmm, how about...Oliver?"

"Ew, no," I grin at him. "Next,"

"Harry?"

"Since when have I been giving birth to a dog?"

"Or a wizard," Matt chuckles at his own joke.

"That wasn't funny," I can't help but giggle though as I try to be serious; Matt just shoots me another grin. "Okay... what about Zachary?" I splay my right hand out across my bump as I speak.

"That's a really popular name, and you've only chosen it because you have a not-so secret crush on Zac Efron,"

"So does that mean you don't like it?" I smile coyly at him.

"Yes, Bella, it means that I don't like it."

"Well, it's just as well, because we won't need it. She's a girl, anyway."

I look back out of the windscreen just in time to notice that we're pulling into the hospital car park.

Matt parks the car in a free space and then turns the engine off, before facing me with a wide grin on his face. "You know, I'm beginning to think we should bet on this,"

"I am not betting with you! Especially on something like this!"

"I was kidding, sweetheart," He opens the car door and climbs out and then walks around to my side of the car and opening the door for me.

I put my hand inside the one he's held out for me as I step out. "Yeah, you'd better have been,"

Matt's fingers link with mine as we walk closer towards the hospital. "You're not still worrying are you?"

We walk into the main reception area of the hospital and the sterile smell that I hate so much burns my nose. "I'm fine, stop worrying!"

It seems to take forever to get to the maternity part of the hospital, but we get there eventually, and I find a chair to sit in whilst Matt let's somebody know that I'm here.

He walks back towards me carrying a massive cup of water in his hand. He sits down in the chair next to me, and passes me the water. "They want you to drink more,"

I scoff. "Of course they do," I take a small sip, suddenly hoping that we won't be waiting long. "I've had enough already. I'll just end up peeing all over the doctor at this rate."

"Let's hope that doesn't happen, shall we Bella?" I look up and find Doctor Cooke standing just in front of me.

I hit Matt on the arm as he tries to hold in a laugh. "Ow! Baby, that was unnecessary!"

I can feel the blush creeping across my face and I look back towards the doctor. "Sorry,"

He smiles at me. "Do you want to come through?"

Matt stands up from his chair first and then holds his hand out for me to take again. I gladly slip my hand in his and link our fingers together, and then reach up to kiss him lightly.

I start to follow Dr. Cooke along the corridor until we reach one of the exam rooms. He opens the door and let Matt and I walk in first. "If you lie down on the bed please, Bella, roll your top up and undo the button on your jeans,"

Matt squeezes my hand and then lets me go so I can comply with what I've been told to do.

Dr. Cooke starts flicking through the folder he had been carrying with him, and then looks up at me. "How's everything been since we last saw you then, Bella?"

"Fine,"

"No problems or anything?" He flicks through the folder some more, and I shake my head when he looks up again. "You've been feeling a lot of movement though?"

I laugh quietly. "Yep, it's been moving around a lot."

"That's good," He sits down on the stool, next to the bed and the ultrasound machine-y thing. "Shall we get started?"

"That might be a good idea, because I really have to pee," I smile and reach out to take Matt's hand again.

"Just lie still for me please, Bella," Dr. Cooke squirts some of the gel onto my abdomen and then places the ultrasound transducer against my skin and moves it around for a few moments. "Everything looks really good in here,"

Matt squeezes my hand and I look over at him and smile.

"Here you go,"

We both look over at the screen the doctor is now pointing at us and look closely at the monitor. I can see the baby a lot clearer than I could last time; its head and limbs are easily visible and, just as I'm looking, it moves its arm around.

"Is it waving?" My eyes start to water and my voice is thick. I squeeze Matt's hand again, harder than before, and look back at him. He smiles breathtakingly at me again and then kisses my hand.

"Did you want to find out the sex of the baby?"

I open my mouth to speak but Matt speaks before I can. "Yes, please,"

Dr. Cooke moves the screen back towards him and types a few things in before turning it back towards us so we can look again. "You're having a little girl,"

My free hand flies up towards my mouth and covers it so that the sob that comes out of my mouth is muffled.

Dr. Cooke wipes away the gel from my stomach and then stands up. "I'll give you two a few minutes." He walks out of the exam room and closes the door behind him.

I take my hand away from my mouth and wipe away the tears that have started to fall down my face. I look over at Matt whose own eyes look misty and smile widely at him. "I told you so,"

He grins at me and then leans forward to kiss me. He pulls back and rests his forehead against mine. "I can't believe we're having a little girl,"

I kiss him softly. "I love you,"

"I love you too, Bella."

I pull back from him as the door opens again and Dr. Cooke walks back in, carrying a small picture in his hand. He hands me the picture and I turn it over to find it's a printout of the scan. "You're free to go now. We'll see you again in four weeks time."

"Thank you,"

He smiles and then walks out of the room again. I sit up to pull my top down and do the button on my jeans up. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and pass the picture towards Matt.

He takes it from me and looks closely at it before he looks back up at me and then stands up.

I stand up from the bed as well and then walk into his arms that he holds open for me. "I think it might take a while to sink in, huh?"

He chuckles and drops a kiss on the top of my head. "We better head home; we've got some phone calls to make."

I pull back from his hold. "Can't we just keep it secret? Pretend like we didn't actually find out?"

"Do you seriously think anybody's going to believe that, Bella? I think you've been going on about finding out the sex of the baby since we first found out about her," He kisses my forehead.

I sigh. "Fine,"

He takes my hand again, (what's with all the hand-holding today?) pulls us out of the room and then we carry on walking back through the hospital until we get back to the car.

Matt goes to open the door for me. "I can do it, you know. I'm not completely incapable," I say as I open the car door and then climb in.

Matt sighs as he gets in the car. "I was only trying to help, baby."

I fold my arms and lean my head back against the headrest. "I know, sorry." I look at him briefly and then sigh again. "Can we go home now, please?"

Matt doesn't say anything but starts the engine, which stops any conversation that was possibly going to start anyway.

I can't help but wonder what happened to the happy mood.

xoxox

An hour after we got home, Matt is still on the phone to his mother. I'm in the other room so have no idea what they're even talking about, but I don't care that much anyway.

I refuse to talk to her on the phone, but the feelings are mutual. The woman hates me.

She doesn't think I'm the right person for Matt. Basically, I'm not who she wanted him to marry, and since he did marry me…

"Yeah, okay, bye Mom," Matt walks into the living room, finishes the call and falls down onto the sofa next to me. He puts his arm around my waist and pulls me against him.

"That was a long phone call,"

"I think I lost the will to live about 15 minutes in," He chuckles quietly.

"You know that will never happen. You're too much of a mommy's boy." I smirk up at him. "Did you tell them?"

He nods and then kisses the top of my head. "They're happy,"

"Good. Let me up, I've gotta ring Charlie,"

He kisses my hair once more and I stand up from the sofa, taking the phone out of Matt's hand. "I'll be in the kitchen," I walk out of the living room and then go to sit down at the kitchen table, dialling my dad's phone number as I sit down.

The phone rings for a while and just as I'm about to give up he picks up.

"Hello?"

"You know dad, you really need to get caller ID,"

"Hey, Bells," I can hear the smile in his voice as he ignores my comment. "You don't normally call more than once a week, what's up?"

I laugh. "Am I not allowed to speak to you more than once a week?"

"Of course you are, Bella. Is something wrong, though?"

"Nothing's wrong, Dad. I normally ring you when there's an update on the baby,"

There's a brief pause before Charlie speaks again. "What sort of update, Bells?"

"The good kind of update," I try to keep the grin off my face as I carry on talking. "You're getting a granddaughter, Dad."

There's a longer pause this time, and I suddenly hope that I've not made him cry or something; I've never seen Charlie cry.

"You still there, Dad?"

Charlie's voice sounds thick when he next speaks. "That's great news, Bells. I'm so happy for you."

I decide not to ask him about the crying thing. "Thanks Dad." The smile on my face suddenly gets wider. "I gotta go, Mom needs to know too. I'll call again soon, okay?"

"Yep, alright." He sounds eager to get off the phone. "Love you Bells,"

"Love you too, Dad." I end the phone call and put the phone down on the table.

I abruptly stand up from the table and go to walk back into the living room.

"Woah, baby," Matt catches me as I walk into him. "Where's the fire?"

I don't say anything but stand up on my tip-toes and firmly press my lips against his, in a heated kiss.

Matt pulls back first but keeps his arms wrapped around me. "What was that for?"

"Nothing," I kiss him once more. "I just love you."

He frowns for a second but then quickly recovers. "I love you too," He kisses me again and I can't feel any more grateful for everything in my life than I do right now.

A/N: I'm not that sure about the ending, but I love the bit with Charlie! :D I just love him. Did anybody see the new Eclipse clip, with Edward yelling at Jacob? Yeah, anyway, I was totally like, drooling over Billy Burke in that clip. DILF, much? ;)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! It's my 18th Birthday tomorrow, so leave me some review love, and make it an even better birthday! :D

Until next time! :)
