Hey! Thanks for the reviews. I only have one part left and if all goes right I should have it up tomorrow.

Part III:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rachel and Jake both nodded and stared at the small screen. Once the doctor had found the perfect spot he looked between the screen and the file. Neither Jake nor Rachel could take their eyes off the screen, so they didn't notice his hesitation. "Um… I think that there is something you should know…"

Jake and Rachel looked up quickly. "What?" Rachel asked, worriedly.

"What did your doctor tell you about the baby exactly?" The doctor asked sating his file down and sitting in front of them.

"He told me that…that I was…" Noticing that tears were rolling down her cheeks, Jake rubbed his hand in circle on her back. "That I was three months pregnant and I was going to have a… son."

The doctor rubbed his temples and looked like he was deeply in thought. "Ms. Gattina, Rachel, it looks as if your previous doctor made a mistake." Lifting his finger up to show them what he was talking about, he finished. "You see how developed this arm is? Most fetuses aren't that developed until the fifth month. Also, the way the baby is placed makes it easy to figure out the sex of the baby. And it is most defiantly a little girl."

"So what you're saying is that she is having a girl in four months?" Jake asked since Rachel hadn't moved since the doctor had finished.

"That's exactly what I'm saying. I hate to give you the bad news, but you are way too small for how far along you are." Rachel nodded and the doctor looked at Jake. "Make sure she eats well and gains immediate weight, unless you only want one daughter. Now, I'm going to let you guys go home with this picture, but I want you back in a week."

Jake told him thanks and watched him leave before turning to Rachel. He was worried. She hadn't moved since the doctor had told them the news. Obviously, he expected it to affect her badly, but he was surprised that he also felt his stomach drop. The way that the doctor made it sound he was scared that the baby was going to die or something.

"A girl?" Rachel whispered causing Jake to look up at her. "I'm having a girl?"

"Yeah… how do you feel about that?"

Rachel looked into Jake's eyes, noticing the sincerity. She then turned to look at the little girl that stole her heart. She know how she felt about the news, she knew that this was huge relief for her. Here she had this great man helping her who knows how to raise a great little girl.

"I'm going to have a little girl that can be… just like me." She whispered the last part. 'Shit' she thought 'I don't want my daughter to be like me.' That was her greatest fear; that her daughter grows up to be the insensitive, self-conscious girl that she is.

Jake knew what she was thinking; Brooke had told him about the surgery and everything she did in Tree Hill. "You're a good person, Rachel."

"How would you know? You just met me." Rachel cried into her hands.

"I have intuition about you. Plus, I know bad people, look at Jenny's mom."

"I just… I wish that Cooper was here to help me. I can't do this alone."

"You won't!" Jake said too quickly. "I mean, I'm here and so is Jenny." Rachel laughed and Jake looked at her strangely. "What?"

"The doctor." Rachel laughed harder at the thought.

"What about the doctor?"

"He thought you were gay."

"No he didn't."

"Yes he did. Did you see the look he gave you after you said we were just friends?" Jake shook his head. "You missed it then, but it was so there."

"I like your smile." Jake admitted before realizing what he was saying. Rachel blushed and he became extremely uncomfortable. "Um… how about we go get something to eat?"

Thankful that he had changed the subject, Rachel opened her mouth to agree, but was interrupted by the little girl n the corner. "Ice keam!"

"Ice cream? Is that okay with you, Rach?"

Rachel stood up and moved to where Jenny was sitting in the chair. Kneeling in front of the little girl she turned to Jake. "Well, seeing that this adorable little girl and this growing one both want some I guess it's okay with me."

"Great, let's go." Jake stood up and walked to pick up the picture that the doctor left. He went to hand the picture to Rachel, but she motioned for him to hold it and picked up Jenny. "Are you sure that you should be holding her?"

"I was holding her earlier, why can't I hold her now?" Rachel asked as she walked out of the room leaving Jake to hold all of their stuff.

"I'm guessing that was a rhetorical question."

Jake Jageilski pushed the button down once more before giving up and throwing it to the other side of the couch. He hadn't expected there to be anything on TV, that's why he had asked Rachel to watch a movie with him. However, she had insisted that she would put Jenny to bed, while he got the movie ready. That had been a half an hour ago.

He reached over and grabbed the remote once again. This time he pushed the mute button so that he could hear what was going on in the bedroom.

"Hey." Rachel said from behind Jake. "Why is the volume down?"

"No reason, come sit down. What took you so long?" Jake asked letting Rachel sit beside him on the couch.

"Oh, I just told her a story."

"You're going to be a good mother, Rachel."

"You're a great father, Jake." Rachel said laying her head on his shoulder. "Were you scared?"

"When Nikki was pregnant with Jenny?" Rachel nodded. "Of course! But what new parent isn't? All of the questions come with the experience, but once you hold that baby in your arms all of the questions disappear because the only thing that's important is that she is safe."

"You're so strong. I don't know how you are doing this without help."

Jake moved his hand to her hair and after hesitating for a second moved it in a downward pattern. "Well, normally I get a beautiful pregnant woman to help me."

"I better be the only beautiful pregnant woman that you let live with you."

"Don't worry; no one can pull off the pregnant look quite as well as you."

Rachel frowned and pulled away from him. "Please stop."

"Stop what?" Jake asked, confused.

"Stop making me fall for you. It's just going to make this harder." Rachel cried.

Jake leaned closer to her and grabbed her hand. "It's going to make what harder?"

"Leaving."

"Who said you have to leave?"

"I did. Jake, I'm going to move once I have this baby. You knew my plan, Brooke told you."

"What if you didn't have to?"

It was Rachel's turn to be confused. "What?"

Jake grabbed her other hand and made sure that she was looking into his eyes. "What if I was this kid's father?"
