Here we are guys... literally the last few chapters before Baby Lester will be out in the world!
(I know the birth came INCREDIBLY QUICKLY but I wanted to write at least a handful of chapters with the baby before the story ended.)
What do you guys think it will be? A boy or a girl?
Enjoy the chapter :)
Dan's P.O.V.
~~~~~7 Weeks Later - October 4th~~~~~
"The baby likes the sound of both your voices."
We're at the final ultrasound before the baby is born. Adaline jumped in between Phil and I's bantering of whose voice the baby likes more.
Stupid? Yes. Do we care? Nope.
"Believe me. I can feel him or her doing the cha cha slide every single time one of you opens your mouth." She giggled.
Her response caused Phil and I to laugh. "And there they go again." Adaline said, rubbing her stomach.
Phil gently placed his hand on to of her stomach as well, his eyes lighting up in amazement.
We have felt the baby kick more times than we can count but each time feels like the first.
"I'll never get over that." Phil said.
Adaline smiled and nodded her head in agreement. "That's honestly in my opinion the best part of pregnancy."
"Not the morning sickness and pain all over?" I joked, sitting down in one of the chairs next to Adaline.
"Hmm, yeah no." She laughed.
The three of us continued on with our small talk before we heard a knock at the door. Dr. Kelly walked through the door, a happy smile on her face like usual.
"Well if it isn't my favorite surrogate and intended parents!" She said happily.
"Hi Dr. Kelly! How are you this beautiful morning?" Adaline asked.
Dr. Kelly laughed and placed down Adaline's chart, taking a seat at the ultrasound machine. "Actually quite nice. My daughter surprised me with breakfast in bed this morning. I'm pretty sure she had a lot of help from my husband though between the four of us."
"Aw, Payton? Gosh, how old is she now?"
"She'll be six in December." Dr. Kelly smiled.
"You have a daughter?" I asked.
She nodded her head. "Light of my life. She is one of the best thing's that has ever happened to me." She wore a dreamy smile on her face.
"Alright, let's get this show on the road." Adaline lifted up her shirt to expose her big baby bump and Dr. Kelly placed the cold gel on to her stomach. Moments later, she took the ultrasound wand and started moving it around making the machine come to life.
"Ah ha! There you are!" Dr. Kelly pointed to the baby on the screen. "The baby is in perfect percentile range. I actually think the baby will be here a little bit earlier than expected."
Phil and I looked at each other, both our faces paled slightly.
"How much earlier?" I asked.
Dr. Kelly and Adaline both laughed at our expressions. "Only a few days. The baby could still very much come on Adaline's due date but I was just making it known the baby could come a few days earlier." She wiped the gel off Adaline's stomach. "I didn't want it to come as a surprise that the baby would be making it's appearance sooner rather than later."
"Oh gosh." I mumbled.
Adaline laughed and pulled her shirt back down. "You guys will be fine. You have the furniture, enough baby clothes that you can't even close the closet and formula up the walls. You two are more than ready."
I smiled and looked over at Phil only to see he was already smiling at me.
"A few weeks." He mumbled.
"Here are the final ultrasound pictures." Dr. Kelly handed me the back and white photos.
Phil and I stared at the photo, totally mesmerized like it was the first time all over again.
"A few weeks." I also said.
Would you believe me if I told you I wrote this chapter twice? I accidentally back spaced and I didn't save any of it.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I will see you soon with the next one!
Bye guys :)
