A/N: I hope you all enjoyed my cute moment! I'm hoping to eventually have more a little more drama in the future but for now some cuteness!

The Next Day

Henry slightly opened the curtains blocking the sunlight from entering their bedroom. The newfound light started to pull Elizabeth out of her sleep and pulled her focus to Henry.

The noise from the slight movement of the pillows pulled his attention from the curtains to her. "Good morning babe." He looked back at her and smiled.

"Morning." She wasn't a morning person and pregnancy didn't help that.

As her vision scanned around the room and she pulled herself up to a sitting position, she noticed the tray of waffles and orange juice on the chaise.

"For me?" She asked obviously excited.

He hurried over to the corner of the room and picked up the tray of food. "Yes it is!" He brought her breakfast over to her and sat down next to her. "Figured it would be a nice start to the day."

"It is, thank you babe." She replied giving him a quick kiss.

"So, your appointment is at 9:30, I'm having lunch delivered once we get home, I've got a full season of The Crown ready to watch tonight and Stevie is taking Aly and Jason to Dave and Busters for dinner right after they get home so you can relax in bed all night." He made sure to clean her schedule from everything so she could actually relax and rest like he knew she needed to do.

"Damn how did I get so lucky?" She asked somewhat rhetorically.

"Hmmm… I heard you had some good karma coming your way 20 something years ago." He jokingly replied.

"That must have been it."

She finished her waffle must faster than Henry must have anticipated because he came out of the bathroom surprised that she was done and had began picking out clothes for the day.

"Already finished?" He asked.

"Yea, I was starving!" She answered before changing out of her pajamas and beginning to put on the shirt she had picked out for the day. She soon moved on to her jeans but was disappointed to discover that they didn't fit the same as before. Standing in front of him, with her jeans failing to button, she asked "Do I really already need to wear maternity jeans?"

He couldn't help but giggle. He wouldn't full on laugh because he knew she was not only stressed and nervous but insecure in her own body at the moment. "Whatever you need is perfectly fine with me!" He told her.

"I need maternity jeans." She let out with a whine.

"What about your sad leggings?" Henry really was trying to help her find another option.

"I can't wear leggings with this shirt!" Here were her pregnancy hormones making an appearance as tears started to fill her eyes.

"So what about another shirt? What about that striped tunic you love?" He walked back into the closet to pull out the black and white top.

"I can't wear horizontal stripes, it'll make me look fatter!" She told him, still upset that she needed maternity jeans.

"What about…" Henry began hoping to pull something out of her closet that would work. "This one?" He asked holding up a pink pullover sweater.

"No that looks sloppy on me." She responded.

"What about this?" Henry asked again now holding up a white cable knit sweater.

"That one already made my boobs look abnormally huge." She was still whining and unhappy with her current clothing situation.

"What about this top and that fitted blazer you love?" He came out of the closet once again holding a white cotton top and one of her favorite blazers.

She was ready to object but honestly, it was probably her best option right now. "Ok." She agreed, not overly happy but willing to compromise.

She walked over to him and took the top and jacket out of his hands and put them on.

"Maternity shopping isn't going to be as easy as it used to be." She was really just thinking out loud. "Oh god, I'm going to need a maternity stylist now."

"That's ok." He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. "We've got about half an hour." He then left their bedroom and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

As Elizabeth finished doing her hair and was just about to put on makeup as she felt the tears creeping into her eyes again. She just wanted to make it through today and for everything to be ok. She was incredibly thankful for a day to just lay in bed with her husband but she was incredibly scared of what tomorrow could bring.

She pulled herself together long enough to finish her makeup, head downstairs, and say goodbye to the kids just before they left for school.

"You ready?" Henry asked her just asked the kids left.

"As I'll ever be, I guess." Elizabeth answered.

"Let's go babe." He took her hand and give it a slight squeeze before her eyes met his smile.

Her motorcade was out front which was enough of a distraction for the press to keep them away from the garage on the side of their house. They chose to forego the motorcade today and just keep things low key, a reminder to them that this was their battle to fight as a family.

Elizabeth got into the passenger side of the SUV as Henry opened the door for the drivers side. Her hand found his as soon as he put it on the gear shift to back out of the garage.

"It's gonna be ok." He told her with a smile before he began to move the car.

She nodded nervously in response.

He began to dig around in his pocket as he watched behind him and steered the wheel with one hand. She hated when he would text and drive but he would be putting his phone down soon. He kept his phone on his left side so she couldn't see him putting one of her favorite songs on the Bluetooth.

As the familiar song came through the speakers, a smile came to her face and her attention went once again to Henry who was now safely driving straight towards Dr. Moore's office. He matched her smile with his own.

"Thank you." She told him softly.

He brought her hand up to meet his lips and gave it a soft kiss. "Anytime." He responded.

Most of their ride and their wait was silent. He knew she was nervous and didn't really feel like talking as a million and one thoughts raced through her head. Soon she was on the exam table with an ultrasound machine next to her and ever more nerves present than she could have imagined.

Finally a knock at the door broke her thoughts. "Come in." She responded unconsciously.

"Good morning, Elizabeth! How are you feeling today?" Dr. Moore asked her like she usually did to kick off their appointments.

"Nervous!" She tried to respond with a smile but she imagined how uncomfortable it actually made her look.

"Nothing to be nervous about! Any concerns?" The doctor asked her.

She slowly shook her head 'no' as she looked at Henry to see if he had anything to say. He matched her slow and nervous motion.

"Ok great! Go ahead and lay back and lift your shirt up. Melissa is my ultrasound tech, she's going to locate the baby and then I'll sanitize the site and take a quick sample. Should only be about five minutes or so and then I'll probably keep you here for observation for about half an hour and then you'll be free to go!"

Elizabeth and Henry hadn't even noticed Melissa enter the room with Dr. Moore and their usual nurse Jess but she quickly put the cold gel on Elizabeth's stomach and began her ultrasound. Melissa quickly found their baby and Dr. Moore began to sanitize that part of Elizabeth's stomach in order to gather the sample of amniotic fluid she needed.

"Ok, just lie extremely still for the next 10 or so seconds." As Dr. Moore finished with her instructions for Elizabeth, she stuck the needle in her stomach and soon had the sample she needed. "All done!" She told Elizabeth with a smile.

Melissa gave her a couple of paper towels to wipe the gel off her stomach and Dr. Moore and Jess were taking notes and labeling the sample.

"It was great to meet you Madam Secretary!" Melissa said just before she left the room, closing the door before Elizabeth could respond.

"Ok, everything seems good so far! Just hang out here, like you are, and Jess will be back in about half an hour with any post appointment paperwork." Dr. Moore instructed. "Any questions?"

"Nope, I think we're all good!" Elizabeth responded with a still very nervous smile.

"Great! I should have the results back by tomorrow afternoon, I'm putting a rush on them and hopefully the lab won't be too backed up. Just be waiting for my call!" She told the couple before she left their room with Jess closely behind.

Once the door was closed, Henry felt it was his time to speak. He moved the chair closer to her and reached out to grab her hand. "You ok?" He asked her.

The tears started to fall as she shook her head 'no.' He continued to stroke her hand lightly brought it to his lips to give it yet another kiss. "It's ok." He told her.

There were a couple of moments of silence as Elizabeth pulled herself together.

"What about the name Margaret?" She broke the silence, much to his surprise.

"I think it's fine, a little old fashioned, also the patron saint of expectant mothers." Henry answered with a smile.

"Yea, I couldn't sleep last night and started looking at names and saw that." Elizabeth told him.

"What about for a boy?" Henry asked. "What about…"

"Aidan Wells." She cut him off, she decided very quickly what her boy name choice was and wasn't really willing to compromise.

"That was quick." He responded obviously surprised at how sure she was of her boy name.

"I kept Aidan inside when I was pregnant with Jason because I figured you wouldn't be a fan of Aidan Adam but I looked up the meaning again last night and it was too fitting." Elizabeth told him.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Little fire." She responded. "Fitting… I think."

"Very!" He responded sweetly. "Why Wells?"

"I think it's cute." She responded softly with a smile. "Plus we did meaningful and family names for the kids, I get one name that's just cute."

"Ok." He responded just as sweetly as he did to hearing the meaning of the name.

"What about a middle name for Margaret? Elizabeth?" He asked not really thinking about the combination of the two names.

"No, incredibly long. Incredibly British too." She immediately shut that option down. "And I'm not doing my name as a middle name. We get another cute name."

"So what were you thinking?" He asked her figuring she had another name picked out.

"I really liked Everly… I could probably do Everly instead of Margaret honestly." She didn't necessarily want to do a 'trendy' name but she did really like it.

"Very cute, what about Stella?" He had liked the name but hadn't given it much thought before suggesting it.

"I looked at it too, I think it's too close to Stevie." She answered.

"Fair, what about Emma?" He asked, again just suggesting names he had heard recently.

"Not a fan." She responded quickly. He had suggested it with Aly and she wasn't a fan then either.

"Ok, what about Charlotte?"

"I love Charlotte but still, very British." She answered slightly sad that she thought the name was 'too British.'

"We could use it as a middle name?" Henry suggested.

"Margaret Charlotte? Margaret Charlotte." She said it out loud just to get an idea of how it sounded. "Margaret Charlotte McCord… too much."

"What about Everly Charlotte? Everly Charlotte McCord." He used the same technique for the one other name they both really liked it.

"Not bad…" She began. "Aidan Wells McCord." She said wanting to get an idea of how her boy choice actually sounded out loud.

"Is the Wells negotiable?" Henry asked. She could tell he wasn't a fan.

"What were you thinking?" She asked, willing to take suggestions.

"What about Aidan Theodore?" He suggested.

"Eh… not crazy about Theodore. What about Aidan Brooks?" He figured she wouldn't like it but thought it was worth a try.

"Sorry babe, not a chance at Brooks." All he could associate the name Brooks with was Brooks Brothers and felt it was too harsh to name a child something so closely related with a retail store.

"Fair." She responded with a smile. "I'm still stuck on Wells."

"I won't argue with you on Aidan but Wells might have to change. What about Thomas?" Henry was always more of a fan of classic names.

"Ehhh… not my first choice." She told him. "What about Leo?"

"Very powerful, theological name… Aidan Leo… I could live with that." He responded with a smile.

"Aidan Leo McCord… I think that's the one." Elizabeth said after hearing the name out loud.

"Aidan Leo or Everly… I guess we didn't totally decide on a girls name." They liked hearing the names out loud.

"Margaret or Charlotte?" Elizabeth asked only willing to accept one of those names.

Before Henry could give his opinion there was a knock at the door and Jess came in.

"Looks like you're all good to go! Take the rest of the day to rest and give it another couple of days before doing any sort of exercise. Feel free to call us if you need anything!" Jess told her handing her the post-appointment paperwork.

"Thank you!" Elizabeth told her, finally getting the all clear to sit up again.

Jess saw herself out of the room and left the couple back to their own thoughts.

"Come on, let's go! We can order lunch from that little Italian place you love and maybe The Crown will help us pick a middle name!" He told her as she put her coat on and they headed out the door.

The drive home was mainly made up of conversations about how much Elizabeth was looking forward to an early lunch and a day off and some slight sulking again about needing maternity pants already.

Once they got home, they curled up in bed and watched the history of the modern British Royal Family play out for them on Netflix for a few hours before Elizabeth's phone rang. Henry paused the show as Elizabeth answered.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Elizabeth?" The person on the other line asked.

"Yes." She answered.

"Hi Elizabeth, this is Dr. Moore's office. We've got your results back."

Elizabeth immediately started to hold her breath. She couldn't speak, she was preparing herself for the worst.

"Everything came back good!"

Hearing that everything was fine with their baby allowed Elizabeth to breath again and let a relieved tear fall from her eye.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Henry could hear the optimism in her voice.

"Would you like to know the gender?"
