Chapter 66

Two months later, on March 11, 2020, Mercedes and Colby were at the office of her OB/GYN finding out the sex of the baby. Mercedes was currently 21 weeks pregnant.

"It's a girl," Dr. Owens said.

"Yeah?" Mercedes asked.

"Yes," Dr. Owens replied with a smile. "You can see right here."

Mercedes was overjoyed as Dr. Owens pointed to the ultrasound.

"It's a girl," Mercedes said, looking over at her husband.

"I heard," Colby replied with a bright smile.

Mercedes smiled back. Her eyes got watery.

Colby moved toward her. He kissed the top of her head.

"Congratulations," Dr. Owens said.

"I'm so excited it's a girl," Mercedes squealed with delight as she and Colby were in the parking lot of the doctor's office.

"Me too," Colby replied.

Mercedes smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He smiled, wrapping his around hers.

"And I've been thinking names too," Mercedes said.

"We'll talk about that later," Colby replied with a laugh. "Let's just go home."

"Okay," Mercedes giggled.

Colby laughed again. "I love you."

"I love you too," She replied as he kissed her cheek.

"Come on, let's go home and tell Evie she's getting a baby sister."

"Okay."

"I have also thought of some names too and we'll talk later tonight."

"I knew it," Mercedes said.

Colby laughed. He gave her a quick passionate kiss. The two then went to their car and headed home.

Evelyn was very excited when she was told she was going to have a little sister. And everyone else of Mercedes and Colby's family was excited too.

"Oh, another bestie for my Ashley," Becky said as she and Mercedes were on the phone.

"Yes," Mercedes replied. "And I can't wait for my second little girl to be born. I love little girls!"

"I do too! I love my baby girl! But I would love a baby boy in the future too!"

"I can image you and Fergal having a baby boy. I can see him with Fergal's smile."

"You mean his super cute goofy one I love so much?" Becky giggled.

"Yes," Mercedes replied.

"Do you remember me always gushing over his smile before he and I started dating?"

"You were gushing over it the day he was at the Performance Center and signed. He was talking with people and smiling. And I remember him seeing you and then coming to us. Your smile got as huge as it could. You two are one of my most favorite couples. After me and Colby, of course."

"Yes," Becky laughed. "But your baby girl is going to be just as beautiful as her older sister and Mama."

"Thank you, Becky," Mercedes replied. "I love you, sweetheart."

"I love you too, Mercedes."

There was the sound of a baby crying in the background.

"Ashley's awake," Becky said. "I have to go."

"Okay. Love you and bye," Mercedes replied.

"Love you too and bye."

Mercedes smiled. She got up from the bed in her and Colby's room. She headed out into the living room where Colby was with both Evelyn and Aaron. He was playing on the floor with both of them.

"Mama," Evelyn said.

"Hi, princess," Mercedes said. She got down on the floor with all three of them.

Evelyn got up from the floor and walked over to her mother. Mercedes smiled. She gently grabbed onto her daughter, pulling her over to her, kissing her cheek and tickling her. Evelyn giggled. Colby smiled. Aaron started laughing himself when he heard his older sister doing it.

"Aaron's laughing," Mercedes said as she stopped tickling Evelyn. "You're making him laugh."

"And we have to keep him laughing," Colby said.

Mercedes and Colby both began tickling Evelyn, making her giggle, which got Aaron laughing again.

Later that night, when the kids were asleep and Mercedes and Colby were in their room for the night, they started talking names. They always wanted to start the name game. All though, Mercedes told Colby she wanted him to name Evelyn all on his own. And he had come up with a beautiful name with a fun meaning: Evelyn Sadie, meaning beautiful princess. And she was, she was their beautiful princess. Plus, Aaron Patrick was their strong and noble one.
