A month had passed. Katie was five months pregnant. She and John were so excited. Tomorrow they were finding out what they were having. Katie was sitting at home waiting for John to get there. He was off for three days. Katie was sitting on the couch. She heard the front door open.

"Hi baby." John said.

"Hi honey." He went and sat down next to her. They kissed. "How was your flight?"

"Fine."

"I'm glad you're home." "I've been lonely."

"Sounds like you missed me."

"I did."

"Good." "I missed you to."

"Oh."

"What's wrong?"

"I think the baby missed you to." "It's kicking." John leaned down by her stomach.

"Do you miss daddy to?" "I missed you." "Only four more months until you're here." He kissed her stomach.

"I finished the nursery."

"You did?"

"Yeah wanna see?"

"Sure."

They went upstairs. Katie opened the door. They went inside.

"Katie this is beautiful." John said.

"Thanks."

"The rainbows and clouds you painted came out great." "The baby's gonna love it."

"Ow!"

"What?"

"Nothing it's just my back it's sore today."

"Here." John got behind her and started rubbing her back. "Is that better?"

"Yeah." "You look beautiful." He said as he started kiss the back of her neck.

"John." She said smiling.

"What do you say we go to bed early tonight?" She turned to face him.

"Why do I get the feeling we're not gonna sleep?" They kissed. They continued kissing all the way into the bedroom. They laid down on the bed. She took off his shirt.

"I love you so much, Katie."

"I love you to, John."

The next morning they were in the doctor's office. She was hooked to the machine.

"Congratulations Katie and John." The doctor said. "It's a girl."

"A girl?" Katie said. John it's a girl."

That's great." John said. "Now I'll have two beautiful girls."

Back in Minnesota Rena got a text. It read.

It's a girl. – Katie

Rena went upstairs to find Brock. He was in the bedroom.

"Brock, Katie's having a girl." She said.

"Whoop de do."

"Come on honey." "I know you care."

"No I don't."

"Really?" "I found the teddy bears."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Brock, I know the tough guy act works on most people, but not me." "I know you miss and love Katie." "I know you love your niece." "I know you don't like to show people you actually have a heart but you're gonna lose your sister."

"I don't wanna talk about it, ok?" He walked out of the room.

Later that night in Massachusetts John came downstairs. Katie was on the couch crying.

"Katie, what's a matter?" He asked kneeling down in front of her.

"Nothing." "Just thinking."

"About what?"

"I don't wanna talk about it."

"Aw you miss Brock don't you?"

"No." "I'm gonna go take a bath." She got up and went upstairs.
