"Ah, Nathan…" Doctor Tate said when she entered the exam room where Haley and Nathan had been waiting, "it's good to see you finally at an appointment this time around."

Nathan and Haley both smiled and Nathan replied, "Thanks, it's good to be here."

"So," Haley began, "why did you want to move up the appointment? Is something wrong?"

"With you and the baby? No." Doctor Tate answered. "However, a few weeks ago, we discovered there was virus in our computer system that sort of stayed hidden for quite awhile. So some of the information gathered at your first few appointments may not be entirely accurate if it was entered in the computer."

"Like what?" Haley wondered.

"Well like the day of your due date and exactly how far along you are. That may be inaccurate because it is all put into the computer. But we got rid of the virus and we just got some brand new equipment, so I would like to double check everything that we have done that is usually done at the first appointment. Is that okay?"

"Sure, fine with me."

"I thought it would be, so I already rechecked your due date on my computer, and as it turns out, you are definitely a bit further along in your pregnancy than we thought."

Haley glanced at Nathan and looked back at the doctor, smiled and asked, "Well, how much further?"

"According to the old results, you would be at almost 14 weeks now, right? Well, after checking again, it turns out you are actually at 19 weeks."

Nathan and Haley looked at each other with surprise.

"Wow…" Nathan said," nineteen weeks."

"Well that explains why I'm showing so much already." Haley said. " I was beginning to think I was pregnant with twins. Wait…I'm not, right?"

Doctor Tate smiled and said, " I don't think so. We didn't have any problems with the ultra sound, just the computers. The virus on the computer system just seemed to screw up all the information entered into it. But I'd like to take a lokk at the baby anyway, and see how he or she is doing."

The doctor prepared the ultra sound machine while Haley laid back on the table. Doctor Tate squeezed the gel on Haley's stomach and Haley shivered.

"Sorry." Doctor Tate chuckled as she turned on the machine. Nathan stood next to Haley's head and they both watched the screen as the doctor searched for the baby.

"Ah, here we go." Doctor Tate said as she turned up the volume so the heart beat could be heard. She adjusted the screen so Nathan and Haley could see. "Good strong heartbeat…very healthy weight…everything looks great."

"Good." Haley sighed relief. " I can feel a lot of movement too. he or she is very active."

"It looks that way. So I guess my next question is the…would you two like to know the sex of the baby?"

Nathan and Haley smiled at each other again.

"I don't think I can wait four months to find out." Haley said.

"Me either." Nathan agreed. " We've had enough surprised to last us that long."

"Okay then." Doctor Tate said with a smile. "Give me just a minute and we will see just who it is we will be meeting very soon."

Haley breathed in and out and took Nathan's hand in hers as they waited excitedly.

"Mommy, look!" Lilly shouted excitedly, running off the front porch. "James and Andy and Coop are here! And Deb too!"

Brooke smiled as she followed Lilly to greet more party guests.

"Hey Deb." She said approaching her. "Thanks for coming."

"Of course. James wouldn't let me forget." Deb replied.

Brooke chuckled and the nasked, "So, um, where's Aaron and the parents of these three party animals?"

Well Aaron can't make it, he's still on shift at the hospital. But Nathan and Haley will be here shortly. They ad a doctor's appointment to go to first."

"Oh, that's right. Well, come on over then and have some snack. Pizza should be here shortly."

Deb and Brooke walked over to the picnic table where Peyton and Jake were making out…again.

"Hey, you two," Brooke said, smiling, "this is a kids party. Let's keep it G-rated."

Jake and Peyton stopped and smiled.

"Hey everyone." Mouth said as he walked up behind Brooke while Noelle ran over to Lilly.

Brooke turned around instantly with a wide smile on her face.

"Hey." She said as Mouth finally reached her.

"Hey yourself." Mouth said as he leaned down to kiss Brooke.

Brooke gave in to his kiss while Jake, Peyton and Deb watched them with smiles.

"Hey!" Peyton called out to them. When they didn't stop, Jake laughed and Peyton threw a pretzel at them.

Brooke pulled away and said, "What?"

Peyton chuckled and mocked, "It's a kids party. Let's keep it G-rated. You guys are grossing us out here."

Brooke and Mouth both laughed as they sat down next to each other on the swing attached to a tall tree.

"So where are Karen and Keith?" Deb asked, letting Cooper down and he ran over to play in the sandbox.

"Walking this way with the pizza." Jake said, looking over at the side of the house where Karen and Keith were walking towards them with three large pizzas.

"I'll gather the kids." Mouth said, standing up again and walking over to the swing set.

While the others gathered around the picnic table and started on the pizza, Nathan and Haley finally arrived. Nathan turned off the ignition and looked over at Haley. She was staring at him with a heavy smile. He returned the smile.

"We're late for the party." He said.

"Who cares?" Haley replied happily, still smiling.

"Lilly, probably."

"She's five years old. I don't think she'll notice. I love Lilly, but I really feel like driving away and having a private party with you."

"Well, I haven't pulled the keys out yet."

Haley laughed and then squealed excitedly, "We're having a little girl! Can you believe it?"

"I'm so happy. I know how much you wanted a little girl. It'll be different in a good way."

"I do. And I can't wait to have her here. I want to meet her so badly."

"Well in four months you can."

Haley touched Nathan's face and said, "She's going to fall straight in love with you. Little girls love their daddies so much."

Nathan took Haley's hand and said, "And I know I'll love her too. she's our little girl."

After the pizza, there was more playtime for the kids and talk time for the adults.

"So are you two ever going to tell us how the appointment went?"

Peyton asked. "You've been sitting here chomping down on pizza since you got here."

Nathan and Haley smiled at each other again. Haley moved her hand to her stomach and said, "Well, we did get some interesting news."

"What's that?" Deb wondered, accepting a Diet Coke from Karen.

"Well, that I'm actually five months pregnant as opposed to three."

"Whoa," Brooke said as she cuddled with Mouth, "how'd they mess up that one?"

"Virus in the computer systems." Nathan answered, wrapping his arms around Haley's round waist and letting her lean into him.

"How about what you went there for?" Karen said. "Did you find out the sex of the baby?"

"Yes we did." Haley replied before smiling up at Nathan. He smiled back and they both looked back at their friends and family.

Haley finished, "In four months, we will be the parents of a brand new baby girl."

"Finally." Keith said, smiling and Nathan laughed.

Everybody congratulated Nathan and Haley and the kids returned to them.

"Mommy," Lilly said when she reached Brooke, "can I open presents now?"

"Sure, baby. It's your party." Brooke said as she stood up from next to Mouth.

"I'll go get the camera." Mouth offered as he too stood up.

"Oh, thanks, babe." Brooke said. " I forgot to bring it out. It's on the kitchen counter."

Mouth went inside for the camera while Brooke and Karen and Deb moved the presents to the center of the table for Lilly to open. When Mouth returned, Lilly started on the first present from Haley, Nathan and the kids. it was a Polly Pocket playset and a denim skirt with butterflies embroidered on it and a purple tank top with a big butterfly in the middle. From Peyton, Jake and Jenny, Lilly received a BRATZ doll and a new pink and purple leotard with butterflies on it. Deb bought Lilly a blue and red summer dress with the word CHEER across it. Keith and Karen bought a new charm for the bracelet they bought for Lilly on her first birthday. This year's charm was a fairy with Lilly engraved on it. Finally, Lilly reached Brooke's present in the princess wrapping paper.

While Lilly began ripping the paper off the box, Keith whispered to Brooke, "Should I go get her from the garage?"

Brooke nodded her head, still smiling as she watched her daughter tear off the paper. Lilly reached the box inside and keith walked quickly to the garage. Lilly excitedly opened the box and found a pink dog collar with silver gemstones around it. Also in the box was a pink leash and two silver bowls bowls for food and water.

Lilly held the leash and collar in her hands, looked up at Brooke and said, "Mommy, these are really pretty, but we don't have a doggy."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Brooke said just as Keith was leaving the garage. "I must've brought out the wrong present."

Lilly looked over at Keith and noticed he was carrying a medium brown packing box.

"What is that, gramps?" Lilly asked when he rejoined the rest of the group gathered around the table.

Keith set the box down on the table and Lilly peaked at the side and noticed wholes cut on the side of the box.

"It's a present your mom forgot to bring out." He replied. "Go ahead and take a look inside."

The adults all watched Lilly with smiles and the children watched with just as much curiosity. As Lilly opened the flaps of the box, her jaw dropped when she saw the puppy inside. The children, especially James, gasped too when they saw the Yorkie peek her head out, a pink bow wrapped around her neck.

"A puppy!" Lilly shouted as she picked it up. "ommy, you got me a puppy?"

"Happy birthday, Lilly." Brooke said with a wider smile.

"Thank you so much. Mom!" Lilly ran over to Brooketo hug her with the dog wriggling in her arms.

"You're welcome, baby." Brooke said, hugging her daughter back.

"I want a dog like you gots Lilly." James said as he pet the dog.

"Maybe you will get one soon too." Lilly said. "Come on, let's go play with her and think of some names."

The kids walked over to an empty area of grass to play with the dog while, Brooke, Karen, Keith, Deb and Nathan started to clean up.

"I'm going to go see if Emma is awake yet." Jake said, standing up from a lawn chair.

"Okay." Peyton said as she slowly stood up from her chair."

"Hey, where are you going?" Jake asked.

"Jake, chill out." Peyton said as she reached for her purse. "I'm just getting my purse so we can go."

"You're ready to go home already?" Jake asked, walking back over to her.

"Yeah, I'm kind of tired and we need to stop by the hospital too."

Everybody looked over at Peyton and Jake said, "Why? Is something wrong?"

"No, but my water did just break about ten minutes ago, so I think it's a necessary stop."
