"Well hello Kate and Elliot, I wasn't expecting to see you both today. What's going on?"

"I'm pregnant! I took a test over the weekend and it was positive."

"Great Kate, but why don't you let me run some test and make the diagnosis myself. Here's the cup, you know what to do." I hop of the table as soon as she hands it to me and head to the restroom. I quickly return and she puts a strip it in and it turns blue. "Well it looks like changing the level on you prescription worked, you are pregnant. Congratulations. I want you take it easy, and make an appointment to see me in four weeks. We will do an ultrasound and set your due date. Keep taking your vitamins and folic acid. I'm going to send in a nurse to draw some blood. I'll see you at your next visit, and call me if you have any questions or concerns."

"Thank you Dr. Greene, I do have one question. How long should we wait to start sharing the news?"

"Well it is customary to wait till you get past the 1st trimester but it is totally up to you."

"Ok, we will see you next month." With that she left and after a few minutes a nurse came in to draw some blood.

"Let's go celebrate little mama."

"How are you feeling Kate? Are you having any pregnancy symptoms?"

"I'm really tired, my boobs hurt, and if I don't eat a handful of Cheerios before I get out of bed in the morning I puke, but other than that I'm fine doc."

"Those are all perfectly normal signs and typically mean that everything is going well. I'm going to get some measurements and then we will do an ultrasound."

"OK, are you ready to see and hear your baby?"

We both shake our heads yes, we've been ready for this for a long time. The heart rate was so fast, it was amazing. Elliot recorded it on his phone. The picture didn't look like much yet, but Dr. Greene was able to confirm that it was just one baby, thank god. I think Elliot would have fainted if it had been more than one. The baby is due on March 10th which is just 3 days after Elliot's birthday. What a great present that will be.

"OK, we will see you in another four weeks Kate."

"Thanks Dr. Greene will see you next month."

"Are you and junior ready to go Mrs. Grey?"

"Junior?"

"Well he is due 3 days after my birthday baby. You know what they say. Like father like son."

"OK, I will let you call her or him junior until we find out for sure, but I checked the Chinese birth chart and according to that we are having a girl so don't get too attached on having a son."

"Deal, you know all that matters is the he or she is happy and healthy. I love you and junior. Baby, what would you think about telling my mom before we tell the rest of the family? I feel like I've had to avoid her lately so that she doesn't find out."

"I was thinking the same thing daddy, let's call her up and see if she can meet us for lunch since we are so close to the hospital."

He picks up his phone and dials. "Hey mom, are you busy? Kate and I are nearby and wanted to take you out to lunch. Sure we can meet you at the deli across from the hospital in like 15 minutes. Perfect, see you then mom."

We arrived at the deli before mom, so Kate grabbed a table and I went to the counter and ordered our sandwiches. Mom looked so happy to see us. We were rarely together in the middle of the day so I think she was a little suspicious as to why we wanted to meet her. I didn't help that Kate ordered a foot long ham and cheese sandwich with tuna.

"That's an interesting combination Kate. Is there something you kids want to tell me?"

We just looked at each other and started laughing. "Is it that obvious?"

Mom jumped out of her seat and hugged us both. "I'm so happy for you. I told you it would all work its way out. When are you due?"

"March 10th" we said in unison

"How are you feeling Kate?"

"I'm great just a little tired and some morning sickness. We were hoping we could keep this between the three of us until we pass the 1st trimester mom. We didn't think we could hide it from you that long."

"My lips are sealed dear."
