Moments of Mr and Mrs G Callen
Surprises
She lay on her back her legs laid out in front of her crossed at the ankle. Her shirt was raised slightly exposing tanned skin that was covered in clear jelly. Her husband stood next to her gripping her hand and from the way he was shifting from one foot to the other she could tell he was nervous. Then again at least not like the first time they had been in this office.
The obstetrician turned to them and placed the wand back on Kensi's stomach,
"Alright listening closely and ...there it is" They both listened and then their eyes met in wonder. Kensi's eyes filled with tears and Callen's were a little glassy as well. He squeezed his wife's hand even more as they listened to their child's heartbeat. The rhythmic noise echoed around the room and the soon to be parents revelled in the sound.
"Now would you like to know the sex?" the woman asked still considering the image on the screen before her.
"Yes" Kensi said quickly excitement laced in her voice, however at the same time exactly Callen's mouth opened,
"No" He said simply and the two turned to look at each other. The obstetrician simply laughed quietly, it was certainly a ride walking these two through pregnancy. But she knew that they were going to be wonderful parents.
"G we have to know the sex. Then we can plan the baby's room and get everything we need, so we're ready"
"We can get the uni sex stuff you know like yellows and greens and come on Kens it's a surprise" He insisted,
"We never get surprises!" he added,
"We always get surprises" Kensi said in exasperation but her husband interrupted her before she could continue,
"Yeah but they're usually in the form of some bad guy with lots of friends and lots of guns. Kens this is a good surprise" he whined pleading his case,
"G I don't like surprises!" She said. But he looked down smiling at her,
"Yeah you do Kens" he said softly and she frowned at him but knew it was true. Sighing she turned back to the obstetrician,
"We'd like to keep it as a surprise, stop smirking G" She said bitterly,
"Stop pretending you don't like the idea" He said and she couldn't help but grin when he kissed her head and they looked back up at the screen watching their baby.
