APOV:

"Alice, darlin' please stop doing that," Jasper said placing his hand over mine to stop my finger nails from drumming on the wooden arm rest.

We were currently sitting in the waiting room at my OB/GYN. I had hit the five month mark in my pregnancy. Everything was looking good. I was watching what I was eating, taking my prenatal vitamins, I walked every morning. My doctor told me it was good I was staying healthy. She also mentioned that it might be possible to determine the sex of the baby. To be honest, I was a little nervous.

I glanced to my left where Jasper sat. He smiled at me. "I'm sorry, Jas," I murmured.

It was only yesterday that we finally came to the decision to find out what we were having.

"Stop being difficult Alice," Jasper said as he made circles around my growing belly. We were lying in bed trying to fall asleep. Yet again arguing about the crucial decision at hand. To find out the sex of the baby or to keep it a surprise.

"I'm sorry, Jas, but I really don't want to know what it is. call me crazy, but I think it's the adrenaline rush I'll get when finally find out what my baby is going to be." I tried to defend myself.

"You know when you first told me you were pregnant, I would've never pictured you as the type to keep it a secret," He said emphasizing the word 'it'.

"And why is that?"

"Well because when you handed me that little white box with the pale pink ribbon that held the coffee mug that said 'world's greatest dad!' on it I knew it. The pink ribbon said it all. You want a little girl Alice, don't deny it. Your list of girl names is longer than the boy list. Besides it would be unlike you to not know what to buy. Do you buy the pink frilly dress or the blue jumper? Or do you settle for the yellow and green outfit?" he said with a smile.

"Jasper…" I pleaded. He had a point, he always had a point. He always made it a point to bring up shopping. My weakness.

"Yes darlin'?" he exclaimed, his Texan accent breaking through.

God did I love that accent.

He had lost his accent for the most part, but when he used words like ma'am, ain't, or my personal favorite darlin' his roots showed. It was quite sexy. Some girls melt over English accents I myself am a southern type of girl.

"You always bring up shopping," I smiled.

"Because I know it's what you want. I know you want to be surprised Alice, but deep down inside you're dying to know what that little one growing inside of you is." he explained as he placed a soft kiss on my stomach.

Damn was he right.

"Fine. I give in. You win, Jasper Whitlock, come Sunday if the opportunity arises we'll find out," I agreed.

"You listen here, you cooperate for your mama at the doctor's. She's dying to know what to call you," he whispered placing his hand over my stomach.

"You know Jasper, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were the one who's itching to know," I boasted.

"Alice Whitlock." The nurse called out.

Jasper stood up first, offering me his hand for help. I gladly took it and we followed the nurse into the back. She took my weight, temperature and all that fun stuff. Casually making small talk in between.

There was a soft knock on the door and in walked my OB, Dr. Addison Montgomery.

"Alice, Jasper. It's good to see you two. How are you feeling?" she greeted, directing the last question towards me.

I nodded in understanding. "Surprisingly well, Dr. Montgomery. The morning sickness has subsided, the cravings are getting weirder and I feel like I'm gaining more weight everyday. To add to the madness I'm always tired and my feet are starting to grow and my clothes aren't fitting," I complained. Jasper chuckled and I slapped him on the arm.

"Ouch. What was that for?" he asked.

"For being mean and hurtful," I hissed.

"Alice, I'm sorry," he said kissing my cheek.

Kiss ass. I thought laughing quietly.

"Well it's good to hear your morning sickness is subsiding. But I'm really sorry about your clothes, just think of it this way you just get to go shopping."

Shopping. This lady knows her stuff.

"Let's take a look at that baby of yours..." she suggested. "May I?" she questioned as she motioned to my shirt. I nodded and she pulled it over my belly. She smiled as she grabbed the tube of gel off the counter. She flicked the monitor on, typing in some things and looked at Jasper and I.

"This is gonna be a little cold. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can really do about it," she said unscrewing the lid.

"Don't worry. I know," I said.

She smiled and squirted the gel on my stomach. The chill of the gel caused me to flinch. Jasper smiled and took my hand.

Dr. Montgomery picked up the transducer probe and started moving it around my stomach, smearing the gel all over. A faint thumping noise filled the room.

That's my baby's heartbeat.

A tear slid down my cheek. "Jasper…" I sighed looking at him trying to fight back the tears.

"Yeah?"

"That's our baby's heartbeat..." I managed to get out. Jasper just nodded and smiled.

"It's a strong one too! Sounds like a healthy one," Dr. Montgomery exclaimed which caused a smile to appear on my face. That's all I wanted to hear, that my baby was going to be fine.

Once and awhile she would pause, click the mouse with her free hand. I tried to decipher the images on the screen, but it all looked like was a swirl of gray fluff. I looked at Jasper and saw the confused look on his face.

"Guess I'm not the only one confused," I chuckled. Jasper looked at me.

"Hell yeah, I'm confused. Dr. Montgomery help us out a little here. It's all just huge blur," he stated. He was so darn cute when he was confused.

Dr. Montgomery laughed and stopped moving her hand around. She smiled.

"That right there…." she said pointing to the top right of the screen. "That's your baby's head, it seems to be that it's already developed a bit of a habit."

I looked at the screen in front of me and gasped.

"Jazzy! Look our baby's sucking its thumb," I exclaimed, the tears I was fighting back were slowly starting to find their way down my cheeks.

"That's right, Alice..." Dr. Montgomery assured me.

"I don't see it," Jasper admitted shaking his head. He was starring at the screen in front of us. Concentrated at the scene in front of us. His forehead was wrinkled and his face serious.

"Ah! I see it now," he proclaimed. A huge grin now spread across his face.

"Well you two have you given any thought to whether or not you would like to know the sex of the baby?" Dr. Montgomery asked. I looked over at Jasper and he nodded.

"We'd like to know, Doc. If it's possible, is it?" I answered.

She smiled. "Well, it seems to be that your baby's not modest. Congratulations you two…"

thoughts? ideas? boy or girl? girl or boy? or both? hmmmm...don't hate me! I would like to know what you guys think Alice is having. It would be interesting to see what all your WONDERFUL minds think. :D I won't leave you guys hanging too long...I'm not THAT mean. :D
