Chapter 54 – Sex of Baby Three
Two and a half months later, Mercedes sat in the waiting room of her OB/GYN. She was exactly twenty weeks pregnant with baby three. The last few months had been great. Her pregnancy was going great. Both she and the baby were very healthy. Dominic and Charlotte were almost seventeen months old. They were thriving as well. With each passing day whoever they were with, they almost made the person or persons smile. Even if they were fussy.
Mercedes smiled as she sat in the waiting room. She couldn't wait for tomorrow. Colby would be home from the road. He had been over in Europe the last few weeks for a European tour. She was looking forward to seeing her husband. And when he came home tomorrow she would have a surprise for me.
This appointment had to do with the surprise. She was finding out the sex of the baby. Not anyone had known when she was going to find out the sex of the baby. She said it was going to be surprise to when she was going and then when she found out the sex. Colby had been kind of annoyed at it, but he trusted his wife's judgment.
"Mercedes."
Mercedes grabbed her phone and her purse. She then stood up and followed the nurse into the back.
Fifteen minutes later, Mercedes was in the room.
"Knock, knock," Suzanne said as walked into the room.
"Hi," Mercedes said with a bright smile.
"Good morning. No husband today?"
"No, he's working," Mercedes replied. "WWE has been on a European tour the last few weeks. He'll be home tomorrow."
"Excellent. Then you can tell him all about today's appointment."
"I know. Everyone knows I have an appointment today. But I didn't tell them when I was finding out the gender. So it will be a big surprise for Colby when he comes home tomorrow."
"You should get some blue or pink decorations and decorate your living room with them. Then have a sign that says "It's a boy" or "It's a girl.""
"Yes, I was thinking about doing something like that," Mercedes admitted.
Suzanne laughed.
Suzanne asked Mercedes a couple questions. She then took Mercedes's vitals herself. She also took a listen to the baby's heartbeat.
"Everything is good here. But let's get this ultrasound rolling."
"Please," Mercedes said.
Mercedes lifted up her shirt, revealing her belly. Suzanne grabbed the gel and squirted some onto Mercedes's belly. She turned on the ultrasound machine and took the wand. She placed it on Mercedes's belly and spread the gel around.
Mercedes looked at the screen as did Suzanne. Suzanne got sight of the baby. She pointed things out to Mercedes.
"And we can determine the gender," Suzanne said.
"Great," Mercedes replied with a bright smile.
Suzanne smiled. She took a through look at the screen. She smiled. "And here is the male genital!"
"It's a boy?!"
"Yes, it's a boy!"
"Yay!" Mercedes said. "I was hoping so. I love my little girl. And she will be as tough as me. But we only need one little boss. However, it might be difficult with two boys. Who will be the little man then?"
"Any other nicknames for Colby?"
"Well, there is the architect, because he put the faction of the Shield together."
"Oh, yes," Suzanne said. "My boyfriend was a huge Shield fan."
"Does your boyfriend know I am a patient?" Mercedes asked.
"Nope. Patient confidentiality!"
"Well, maybe we'll set something up for him to meet Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose. And maybe the rest of the WWE locker room. But we'll talk outside of the office."
Suzanne laughed. "Oh, he'd love that."
"Do tell me, though: who is his favorite superstar?"
"Finn Balor, in all honesty. He does like Seth, Roman, and Dean as well. But Finn Balor."
Mercedes laughed. "Finn Balor or as I know him personally as is Fergal Devitt. He is my best friend, Becky Lynch's…"
"…Husband," Suzanne quickly interrupted. "Oh, yeah. He loves Becky as well. Didn't she just have a baby too?"
"Yes, a few months ago. Their second a girl named Bridget. I am actually their oldest son, Finn's godmother. One of them. The other is Ashley Fliehr aka Charlotte, Ric Flair's daughter."
"Oh, he loves her too. And you. I don't know if I mentioned that."
"No," Mercedes laughed. "We will definitely set something up for him to meet everyone. And I will make sure Becky is there too. She would actually love it."
"Oh, my God, yes," Suzanne said. "Thank you."
"You know we could also plan to be at the same place at the same time for your boyfriend to meet me and Colby aka Seth Rollins. It just happened to be out of the blue!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Okay."
Suzanne smiled. "So we'll have a Little Boss, a Little Man and then a Little Architect."
"Yes. Oh, I am so excited! Colby wanted another boy too. He wanted Dominic to have a brother just like he does."
"Oh, yes, I love my brothers."
"Just you and two brothers?"
"No. I have a sister as well."
"Awesome."
"Yes, I love my siblings. But back to you and your baby boy."
Later that afternoon when the twins were napping, Mercedes decided to give Becky a call.
"Hey Mer," Becky answered.
"Hey hun," Mercedes replied. "How are you?"
"I'm great. How are you?"
"Great as well. What are you doing?"
"Relaxing. Both Finn and Bridget are napping," Becky replied.
"Same here. The twins are napping as well," Mercedes said.
"Nice."
"I had a doctor's appointment today for the baby."
"Oh, great. How was that?"
"Great. Both me and the baby are both very healthy."
"Very glad to hear that."
"Oh, but this is even better. My mid-wife Suzanne, her boyfriend is a WWE fan," Mercedes said.
"Really?!" Becky said.
"Yep. He has no idea that I am her patient. She says the doctor/patient thing."
"Wise idea."
"However, I said we should both end up at the same place at the same time with her boyfriend and Colby. That would be so much fun."
"Oh, yes."
"But then I was also thinking he could perhaps meet the whole WWE locker room."
"Oh, yes," Becky said. "I love stuff like that."
"You will love these two things even more," Mercedes commented.
"What?"
"Fergal is her boyfriend's number one favorite superstar and you are a favorite of his."
"Oh, I definitely love this," Becky replied with a laugh. Mercedes laughed too. "Maybe we could figure it out for Fergal and I to be there too when you and Colby casually see him and Suzanne in public."
"That would be great. Or we do it a second time."
"Yes. But I love that idea. We'll work it out, though."
"Wait, WWE is going through Iowa in a few weeks. Or at least in the surrounding states."
"Oh, hell yes!" Becky exclaimed.
"I can arrange for Colby and I to meet Suzanne and her boyfriend beforehand. Then we have tickets for them or something."
"Actually, have Suzanne say she got tickets to whichever show. But then we make sure she and him are able to get to where they can to come backstage…"
"…Yes," Mercedes interrupted. "I can just arrange it with WWE. We work to get Suzanne and her boyfriend to the arena for the event. Then they are taken backstage with security to where Colby and I are. A huge surprise to the boyfriend. But I think I still will have us meet in public. I will then say I will get them tickets. Then I'll work with WWE to get them directly to the arena...Yeah, I'll figure it out."
Becky laughed.
"Okay, I have something else to tell," Mercedes said.
"What?"
"But you cannot tell anyone until I say something. Especially telling Colby that you were the first friend to find out. He has no idea either."
"Did you find out the gender today?" Becky asked.
"I did."
"Okay. Yes, I won't say I was the first to know of anything."
"It's a boy!"
"Yay!" Becky replied. "That is so exciting."
"Yes. I am going to get some blue decorations and decorate the living room for Colby to see when he gets home tomorrow," Mercedes said.
"That'll be awesome. Oh, I can't wait for Fergal to get home tomorrow too."
"I know. Even though I miss Colby when he is gone, I have two little reminders every day. Our babies."
"Yes," Becky replied. "All I have to do is look at my little boy and when he looks back at me, I see the eyes of Fergal and I smile. But my most favorite time is when I cuddle with both Bridget and Finn. Or just sitting with them."
"Oh, yes. I love cuddling with my babies," Mercedes replied. "Just the rest of the day to get through and then our husbands will be home."
"I can do that." Mercedes then heard the muffled crying. "Oh, Bridget's up. I have to go. Call me tomorrow revealing the news."
"Definitely. Bye."
"Bye, Mer," Becky said.
Mercedes got off the phone.
The next day…
Colby was so happy as he pulled into the driveway. He had loved doing the European tour, but he really missed Mercedes and the twins…
Colby opened the front door to the house. He took a look inside. He saw all the blue. He pulled his bags into the house and closed the door.
"Hi," Mercedes said as she sat on the sofa.
"Hey," Colby said. "What's all this with the decorations?"
Mercedes smiled. She got up from the sofa with a bright smile. She had a large poster board face down on the sofa with her. She held it face down. "I found out the sex of the baby yesterday."
Colby's face lit up. Even before Mercedes, turned the sign over saying "It's a boy!" He knew the baby was a boy.
"A boy?!" He said.
"Yes," Mercedes said.
"You really didn't need this," He said, referring to the sign.
"I figured." Colby laughed as she tossed the sign aside. "We're having a boy," Mercedes said, quickly hugging her husband and kissing him.
"Why couldn't you tell me you were going to find out the sex of the baby?" Colby asked.
"Because I wanted it to be a surprise."
"All right, fine," Colby replied. "But we're having a boy!"
"Yes, we are," Mercedes said.
"That makes me very happy." He scooped her into his arms. Mercedes laughed as he did.
