A/N: Thanks soo much for all of these good reviews! I'm glad to know that
you like this story so far and the new twist. Thanks, and please keep on
reviewing!
LoL, Jae, no I didn't ignore you, but you were the only person who wanted
me to leave it. It was one to 11. Sorry! Haha.
The month was filled with many fun baby announcements to family and friends. Everyone was ecstatic about Holly's pregnancy. They scheduled a doctor's appointment, and when they went, the doctor found the baby to be happy and healthy. They found that Holly was already 4 months along! They decided that she probably was pregnant since the honeymoon, and joked that the baby was a 'little souvenir'. According to the doctor, this explained the sad mood Holly had been having, and her upset stomach. She had also noticed that she was gaining a few pounds, which was now explained as well. In just a little less than one month, they'd be able to find out if they were expecting a son or a daughter.
All the kids were anxious to find out if they'd have a sister or brother as well. Of course, Joe and Tyler wanted the baby to be a boy, and Chrissy and Brooke wanted a girl. Typical. Holly and Kevin decided to not discuss names at all until they knew the gender. Holly's parents were over often to pamper her, although only in her fourth month. This was their first grandchild, and they wanted the one who was giving them the grandchild treated well! Everyone joked about how much they would be over once Holly was in her ninth month!
One day, two and a half weeks before they would be finding out the gender, the phone rang. Chrissy answered immediately. Seconds later, her shout was heard.
"Hol-Mom, it's for you! It's the doctor's office." She said. Holly laughed and picked up the phone.
"Got it!" She shouted. "Hello?" She asked into the receiver.
"Hello ma'am, is this Holly Kinkirk?" A woman on the other end asked.
"Yes it is."
"We've been viewing your ultrasound pictures and results, and we've- found something. Would it be possible for your husband and yourself to come in?" She asked. Holly was taken aback.
"Yes, that would be fine. Is the baby OK? Is there something wrong?" She asked nervously.
"Oh yes, perfectly healthy as far as we know. No need to be worried, we just need to talk with you. Would you be available tomorrow morning at ten?" Holly let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, that sounds great." She said. They said goodbye and hung up. Kevin walked in the door a few minutes later from work. Holly rushed over to him and put her arms around his neck.
"What's wrong?" He asked her immediately.
"There's something wrong with the baby. Well, not wrong, but there's something that's important enough that we need to go into the doctor's office so they can talk to us!" She said in one breath. Kevin held her tight and kissed her on top of the head.
"When are we going in?" He asked.
"Tomorrow at ten." She said.
"OK. I'll call the boss and tell him I won't be there."
"Oh, Kev, I can go alone I don't want you to have to miss work!"
"No way. I'm not letting you go alone. This is our child we're talking about. Work takes second place." He said reassuringly.
"Thanks." Holly said.
"No problem." He said. She tipped her head up and kissed him. They walked together into the kitchen where dinner was almost ready. Holly finished cooking it and called the kids down. At dinner, Holly and Kevin kept the slight news to themselves, not wanting to alarm anyone. No one even noticed when nether adult ate more than a few bites of their meal.
A/N: What's going on with the baby? What will the doctors say? Look for the next chapter soon to find out! Please review!
