Chapter 9 – Doctors Appointment

In the past two months, everyone had been pretty busy. DJ and Steve had worked out all the details in their wedding (except for what flowers they were using), Joey had finally gotten over Hailey, but with all the wedding and baby stuff going on he really wished she was still his girlfriend. Stephanie had been helping Michelle with a documentary on her life for school. Michelle had to admit her sister could really handle that camera.

It was busy at the Katsopolis house, too. Jesse's car broke down a few days earlier, and Becky was so into the new baby that she had been making Jesse re-arrange the house so they could figure out where it would sleep.

"I'm no expert," Jesse said one day, "But isn't it a little early to be doing this?"

"It's already been three months!" Becky had answered. "Hmm…maybe we could move the twins…"

"Beck, you're going nuts over this," he said, "Your acting as if it's already alive,"

"I guess your right."

Jesse put down what he was moving and walked into the living room. Becky followed him.

"You know what?" Jesse said, sitting on the couch, "I called it...it."

"I noticed,"

"I really think we should find out what gender it is this time,"

"You're right," Becky answered, sitting next to him, "We'll find out tomorrow; I have an appointment at noon."

"Noon…" Jesse repeated, trying to figure out what time he had to pick the car up from the shop. "What time will that be over?"

"I guess a half hour later, maybe forty-five…Jess, they'll hold the car for us!"

Nicky and Alex walked in the door from school. Nicky greeted his parents and went to the kitchen. Alex ran to his room and ran right back. "Why is my bed up against the closet?"

The next day, a Saturday, Steve was on the phone with a flower shop. "How much would all those roses cost…I think so…okay…what! We'll be home from our honeymoon by then!" he hung up. "We should have gotten this done first, Deej,"

"We've tried every one in the phone book, Steve."

Michelle and Stephanie walked in with Denise. She was helping with Michelle's documentary that day. "Flower trouble?" Michelle asked.

Steve nodded.

"You know," Denise said, "My mom has a huge flower garden in our backyard. I'm sure she wouldn't mind lending a few dozen for the wedding."

"Really?" Steve asked, perking up a bit.

"Yup! I'll call home right…" the phone rang, "After that."

Stephanie picked up. "Hello?"

"Hi, Steph, it's Jesse,"

"Hi, what's up?"

"We need someone to baby-sit the twins, are you free?"

"Uh…" Stephanie held the phone to her chest, "Can we finish this later?" she whispered to Michelle. She nodded. "Sure, Uncle Jesse, I'll be there in a few seconds.

"Thanks."

"No problem," Steph answered, "Bye."

Jesse hung up.

Stephanie turned off the camera. "I'm on babysitting duty," she said, stepping out the door.

Denise called her mom. "Hi, Mom! DJ and Steve need flowers for their wedding…roses…sure," she handed the phone to DJ.

"Hello…you really wouldn't mind…sure…okay…thank you so much!" she handed the phone back to Denise, who said good-bye to her mother and hung up.

"She's going to show us what kind of flowers she grows when she picks Denise up after dinner tonight!" DJ said excitedly to her almost husband.

At the doctor's office, Becky and Jesse were waiting for the pictures to come out. "I think it went well," Becky said.

"I hope so," Jesse said back, fiddling with his watch. The doctor came back in.

"It's a very healthy baby," she said, "And your due date is September 18th. Would you like to hear the gender?"

Jesse nodded.

"You're having a girl."

"A girl, right?" Jesse said.

The doctor laughed. "Yes, just one this time, Mr. Katsopolis."

"Thank you!" Becky said, getting up to leave. Jesse followed her.

"Have a nice day," the doctor said, handing Jesse the pictures.

Back at home, Nicky and Alex were teaching Stephanie how to play the computer game they got. They were really good at it, and Steph was having a hard time. Soon they gave up on teaching her. "So," Alex said, "You think it's a boy or a girl?"

"We think it's a boy," Nicky said.

"I hope it's a girl," Stephanie said, then jokingly added, "Who'd want another boy?"

"Hey!" the boys said at the same time, laughing.

They all heard Becky and Jesse walk through the door. Stephanie ran out to greet them. "So…"

Becky smiled ta her niece; "It's a girl!"

Stephanie hugged her aunt. "I have to tell the twins!" Becky said dashing down the hallway.

"So, St-Steph," Jesse said, "I g-guess I should pay yo…" Stephanie cut him off.

"Don't worry about it," she said, then looked at her uncle. "You're totally freaked out, aren't you?"

"No, no…maybe," Stephanie hugged him and left.

Meanwhile, Michelle and Denise were helping Joey cook dinner. "Okay," he said, "The chicken's cooking nicely, the potatoes are being washed, the peas are being separated from the pod, thank you Denise's mom." She had sent Denise over with a bag full of fresh peas.

Michelle put another potato in the bowl. "Only three more to go,"

"Good," Joey said. "I'd better clean a knife," he went to go find one.

Stephanie walked in the front door. "Hi!" said Denise and Michelle at once.

"Did they tell you anything, Steph?" Joey asked, picking up a knife and whiping it with a towel.

"Well…" she started acting kinda sad, then perked up, "It's a girl!"

"Wow!" Michelle said. Joey smiled. He wondered if he'd ever have kids of his own.

"I know!" Stephanie shouted, sitting on a stool by the counter, "I'm so happy for them!"

"I can't wait!" Michelle said.

"I wish my family was as big as yours," Denise said.

"I know what you mean," Joey said, "It was just me and my mom when I was your age,"

DJ and Steve were watching TV in the living room. Stephanie walked in and DJ asked, "Why did they ask you to baby sit anyway?"

Stephanie sat down next to her sister. "Doctors appointment,"

"Did they find anything out?" Steve asked, muting the TV when a commercial came on.

"Yup," Stephanie said, "It's a girl,"
DJ smiled. "I always wanted them to have more kids,"

"Me too," Stephanie said.

After dinner that night, DJ, Steve, and Denise's mom sat in the kitchen. She had brought little seed packets showing what kind of flowers she grew.

"So," Denise's mom said, "What kind are you looking for?"

"We were thinking roses," Steve said.

"I grow a lot of roses, they're my favorite."

"That's good," DJ said.

"How much did you want?"

"Well," DJ said, "We wanted two dozen on each side of the altar, bouquets for the brides maids, rose petals for the flower girl, some for the reception…"

"Basically a lot," Steve said.

Denise's mom laughed. She tried to figure out how much they would need. "About seventeen dozen," she said. "I can bring them over when ever you need them."

"Can we have them on the 16th of April?" DJ asked. That was the day of the rehearsal dinner.

"I'll drop them off around noon,"

"Thank you so much!" DJ said.

"It's not a problem at all," she said. Then she called for Denise and left.

A/N: I'm sorry my chapters are so short and probably crappier than they have been so far. I'm kinda running out of ideas to finish up March. If anyone has any ideas you can Instant Message me using the screen name MeIsAJeenyus (long story). If I'm not online my e-mail is
