He was going to be a dad. Nothing beat this feeling for Greg. It even beat when Jing-Mei said she would marry him. He, Gregory Pratt, the screw up was doing something amazing.

Today they had their first OB/GYN appointment. Greg and Jing-Mei was excited, they could barely contain it. This pregnancy was so different than her pregnancy with Michael had been. She didn't have to hide it. She could be happy. Greg took her hand as they waited patiently for Janet to see them.

"What is the first appointment like?" He looked at her.

"Well, she'll draw some blood, ask a few questions, give us our due date and then we can look at the baby to confirm gestation age." Jing-Mei smiled, "So, it's all fun."

"This whole thing is so cool." Greg smiled. Jing-Mei chuckled.

"It gets more cool when the baby start moving and I show more." She said kissing his hand. Greg grinned brightly.

"It's going to be so amazing. You're going to look so gorgeous." He said.

"And I don't now?" She winked.

"Oh you definitely do now." Greg said as Janet stepped out of her office.

"Dr. Chen, I'm ready to see you now." Janet smiled. Greg and Jing-Mei stood up. "Welcome. I didn't think I would see you here yet." Jig-Mei smiled.

"Well, I'm here." Jing-Mei chuckled walking into the office.

"How have you been feeling?" Janet asked putting her gloves on.

"Pregnant." Jing-Mei laughed, "Tired and sore. At least the morning sickness has started to taper off."

"Good thing. Last week she was terrible." Greg said.

"Yeah, but it didn't last long." Jing-Mei said.

"Well, Good. You can enjoy the pregnancy now." Janet smiled, "I'm just going to take some blood now, All right?"

"Knock yourself out." Jing-Mei said, "We're jut excited to see the baby." Janet smiled softly with a nod.

"The first look I always the best." Janet said handing the nurse a vile of blood.

"I can't wait to see it." Greg said. Janet smiled.

"Well, let's get to it." Janet said getting up. "Just lay back."

"Great." Jing-Mei looked at Greg. He was starting to look nervous. This was it. This would be the first look at his child. Janet squirted the gel onto Jing-Mei's belly. She jumped.

"Is that cold?" Greg asked. Jing-Mei nodded.

"Just a tad." She said.

"All right, let's check this baby out." Janet started the sonogram. An image came upon the screen. "There it is." Jing-Mei and Greg stared at the screen. There was a little human on the screen. It had legs and arms and it was moving them all.

"Oh my god." Greg whispered.

"Let's hear the heart beat." Janet said punching a few buttons. Suddenly, a soft drumming filled the room.

"Our baby." Jing-Mei grinned. Tears filled Greg's eyes. It was so overwhelming. Jing-Mei smiled at him, "That's our baby, Greg."

"It's so beautiful." Greg whispered. Jing-Mei nodded.

"When is our due date?" She asked.

"Well, I'd say Around July 22nd." Janet said. "Is that good for you?"

"Perfect." Greg said.

"We're getting married in September. I was afraid I wouldn't have time to work off the weight to fit into my dress." Jing-Mei chuckled as Janet washed her belly, "I already bought it."

"Well, July is perfect then." Janet said.

"My birthday is July 16th. This is the perfect gift." He looked down at Jing-Mei filled with pure love. "Thank you." It was official. Now that they had a due date, it made the pregnancy seem more real to Greg. He was going to be a dad and a great one at that.

Week 14

Greg sat in bed staring at Jing-Mei. She already had a gorgeous little bump on her belly. He loved that bump and he was really excited to see it grow. He leaned down and kissed his softly.

"Good morning, Baby Pratt." He whispered.

"Hi Daddy." Jing-Mei yawned. Greg chuckled softly.

"Did I wake you?" He asked her as he lay back down.

"No. I was waking up anyway." Jing-Mei said putting her hands on her belly, "You were talking to the baby." He smiled.

"Of course. I want her to know Daddy's voice." Greg said.

"She?" Jing-Mei smiled softly, "We're having a girl?"

"Yeah. I can just feel it inside of me." Greg said, "Ad I know what I want to name her." Jing-Mei arched her eyebrow.

"What is that?" She asked him.

"Juliet since we have that Romeo and Juliet connection." Greg said, "I don't care if it's her middle name or first name."

"Juliet Pratt. It's nice, I guess." Jing-Mei said, "But we need to see what we're having first. We have a month before our next appointment." Greg chuckled and patted her belly.

"I don't know if I can wait a month. This is too exciting." He said with a chuckle as he slid out of bed, "What do you want me to cook you for breakfast?"

"Do I get breakfast in bed?" She arched her eyebrow. Greg nodded.

"When you're pregnant you do, but that's it I'm afraid." He said.

"Then surprise me with the food." Jing-Mei snuggled back into bed. Greg shuffled out of the bedroom towards the kitchen. This was amazing. Her morning sickness was gone and Greg was serving her breakfast in bed. She stretched out as she grinned brightly. This pregnancy was already so much better than her pregnancy with Michael. She sighed slightly as she wondered what Michael was up to. Was he in kindergarten yet?

"You're nixing coffee right, Jing-Mei?" Greg called out.

"Yeah, just orange juice please." She yelled back. Jing-Mei sat up and ran her hair through her hair, trying to straighten it slightly. She hated bed head. It made her look very unattractive.

"Here we go." Greg soon walked in with a tray filled with food. "Blueberry pancakes, Toast, canned peaches, and orange juice."

"Mmmmm….Smells wonderful, Sweetheart." She said. Greg placed to try on her lap, "Soon, My belly will be too big to have this on my lap. I know you'll like that though." She winked.

"I will love it." Greg got up and grabbed his own plate he had balancing on the hallway table, "Enjoy my food, sweetheart."

"Oh I am." Jing-Mei shoved some pancakes into her mouth. She groaned loudly. She loved Greg's cooking. He was so much better than she was. "This is the reason why I am marrying you, Greg. Not because I love you or because we're having a baby, but because you're a damn good cook. Greg laughed softly.

"You're nuts, Jing-Mei." He settled down next to her, "But I know I am." Greg started to eat again, "Yes, this is wonderful."

"SO, next month we find out the baby's sex and then w can decorate the nursery." Jing-Mei said, "I was just thinking a unisex country calico theme." Greg nodded.

"Sounds good to m. I'm not that good with the decorating. You're a woman. You're good at it." He said. Jing-Mei laughed.

"How sexist are you?" She asked.

"Sexy? I'm a lot sexy. I know." He winked as he ate some peaches. "Do you think I'm going to make a good father?" Jing-Mei nodded as she put down her fork.

"An amazing father, Greg…and if you keep cooking like this, you'll make a great husband as well." She winked playfully. Greg chuckled. Things were going great for them right now and they both it kept up this wonderful pace.
