Senior Year-Ch 51

The next 7 weeks passed by rather quickly for the happy couple and Penelope after several doctor appointments and ultrasounds still didn't know the sex of the baby. She stood in the nursery and imagining what life was going to be like with the baby, she could see a little boy or girl running around in the apartment squealing mommyyyyyy daddyyyyyyy", she turned and headed into the living room to get ready for her doctors appointment.

Penelope sighed happily as she walked through their apartment, she rubbed her stomach and said to the baby, "alright you today please be turned the right way so that daddy and mommy will know what sex you are so we will know what color to do the nursery in". Derek grinned when he walked into the room and said, "are you giving another talk to the baby"?, she laughed and said, "yes, I just hope that he or she listens to me this time".

Derek raised up Penelopes shirt and leaned down and kissed her stomach and said, "okay in there, this is daddy, please roll over so that we can find out what you are so we will know how to decorate the nursery". Penelope laughed when he leaned down and kissed her stomach again and said, "daddy loves you little one".

Derek stood up and looked down at his watch and said, "goddess we need to get moving if we are going to make it on time for your appointment", she kissed his lips gently and said, "how often do I tell you I love you"?, he kissed the end of her nose and said, "everyday it is implied", she smiled as he handed her purse to her and they walked out the door.

Penelope sighed as she waddled into the doctors office, Derek kissed the top of her head and said, "why don't you go ahead and sit down baby girl and I will sign you in". She smiled as she headed over to the chairs to sit down, once she sat down she rubbed her belly and couldn't help but wonder if the baby was going to be in the right position so they could tell if the baby she was carrying is a boy or girl.

Jordan laughed as Kevin gently squeezed her hands as the doctor squirted gel on her stomach, he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I can't wait to see the baby on the screen". The doctor smiled as she rubbed the wand across Jordans stomach, after a few seconds the room was filled with "swooosh, swoosh, swoosh".

Kevin looked down and saw tears streaming down Jordans face, he reached down and wiped away the tears and kissed the top of her head and said, "isn't that the most precious thing that you have ever seen", she sniffed and said, "it is Kevin, it definitley is". The doctor smiled and said, "would you like to know the sex of the baby"?, they looked at each other and Jordan said, "yes please".

The doctor moved the wand and said, "well before I tell you the sex, the baby is growing at a perfect rate for a 6 month fetus", Kevin smiled and said, "that's great". Jordan smiled and said, "so do we decorate the nursery in blue or pink"?, the doctor smiled and said, "blue, definitley blue, you are having a boy".

Jordan looked up at Kevin and said, "did you hear that Kevin, we are having a little boy", he smiled and said, "I heard that sweetie and I can't wait to meet our little guy". The doctor smiled and said, "how are you doing, any nausea or vomiting"?, Jordan grinnd up at the doctor as she wiped the gel off of her stomach and said, "no everything is fine, I just can't wait to meet this little one".

The doctor smiled and said, "well that should be in about 3 to 3 1/2 months depending on if you want to deliver natural of if you want a C-Section", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "if it is at all possible I want a natural delivery". Kevin smiled and said, "will I be able to be in the delivery room with her"?, the doctor smiled and said, "yes of course, we encourage the father to be in the room during birth", Jordan raised up on the side of the table and kissed Kevin gently on the lips and whispered, "I love you".

Penelope slowly got up when the doctor called her name, they followed behind the doctor and when she walked into the exam room, Derek helped her upon the table and she laid down and raised up her shirt while Dr. Brown got the ultrasound machine ready. Derek leaned down and kissed her stomach and said,
"please cooperate with us today litle one".

Penelope sighed as Dr. Brown squirted the gel on her stomach and started rubbing the wand around on Penelopes stomach, when the room filled with the sound of the babies heartbeat Penelope bit down on her lip and said, "is the baby turned the right way for you this time"?, she smiled and said, "yes she is".

Derek smiled and said, "she, you said she"?, Dr. Brown said, "yes I did, congratulations you two are having a daughter", Derek kissed Penelopes lips gently and said, "did you hear that goddess in a few months we are going to have a baby girl"?, she grinned as she wiped away a tear away and said, "I heard handsome, I heard".

Derek and Penelope couldn't take their eyes off the screen, Derek smiled and said, "I still can't believe it, that is our daughter", Dr. Brown said, "would you both like copies of the ultrasound"?, they both said in unison, "YES". She grinned and said, "everything is progressing normally and your daughter is healthy and has a strong heartbeat".

While Dr. Brown was talking Penelope was wiping the gel off her stomach, she then sat up on the side of the table and the doctor said, "I want to see you again in a month but if you have any problems please contact me immediately". Derek helped Penelope off the table and she said, "we will Dr. Brown,
I promise".

The doctor handed them their two copies and Penelope gently rubbed her finger over the face and said, "mommy and daddy love you little girl", Derek then wrapped his arm around her waist and they both smiled and Penelope said, "we will see you soon doctor". They sighed happily as they walked out of the doctors office knowing that in a few months they were going to be the parents of a little girl.
