"Baby wake up" Maybelle said tapping Corny's shoulder. They had had some fun last night and were still in a compromising position.
"Rory." Maybelle tapped once more. His eyes opened to see his face buried in the side of Maybelle's neck. He placed a soft kiss on it and answered.
"Yes May?"
"Withdraw yourself, and roll over." Maybelle said. Corny followed instuctions and withdrew himself from her body, and rolled over. She got out the bed, walking to the bathroom.
"Hey, i um have to take Inez to the doctor we'll meet you all at lunch then it's bye bye for the next 24 hours." Maybelle said from the bathroom. Corny just stared at her looking at herself in the mirror. She caught his gaze and smiled.
"Do we have too," Corny wined, climbing out of the bed putting on underwear and pants, he walked towards her wraping his arms around her waist, "I don't think I can manage a whole 24 hours without you." he said rocking them side to side.
"Well, you just gon have to deal. It's a tradition." Maybelle said picking up her toothbrush and toothpaste. As she brushed Corny held onto her hesitant to let go. She washed her face with him still attatched to her hips, and was over it.
"Baby you gotta let me go. I promise after tomorrow I will be yours for the rest of our lives, but right now I have to get ready and you have to pick up Link." Maybelle said stepping out of his arms and walking around him.
She got dresssed and ready just as Inez was making her way to her.
"Momma?" Inez yelled as she walked up the stairs.
"I'm ready baby girl." Maybelle said as she slipped her heels on.
"Ok. You comming Daddy?" Inez said walking into the room.
" Sorry Princess not today. I'll make the next ultra- sound. Link and I have a lot to do." Corny said, before noticing the dissapointment on Inez's face. She just nodded and gave him a hug before heading back downstairs to wait.
"Alright bye baby." Maybelle said kissing Corny before leaving the room.
Maybelle entered the main floor looking for Inez. She found her sitting on the couch looking down at her stomach.
"You ready baby girl?" Maybelle ask snapping the teenager out of the thoughts. Inez just nodded once more and lifted off the couch, drifting towards the door. They exited the house and got in the car. The whole ride was silent. No talking. No music. Just silence. Maybelle wonder what was going thorugh her childs head at that moment, but didn't want to ask. They pulled up to the office and got in and signed in.
They sat in the waiting room looking at all the other pregnant women in the room. They all looked in their 20's and 30's. Inez felt so out of place and embarassed that she just wanted out of there.
"Don't be nervous it's okay." Maybelle said laying a hand on her daughter's knee. The nurse came out, waiting to take Inez back.
"The doctor will see you now." The nurse said pointing to Maybelle.
"Actually it's my daughter." Maybelle responded. The nurse gave a look of appologies and directioned for Inez to follow.
"Momma come with me. Please?" Inez asked as the nurse began to walk away. Maybelle just nodded and stood up.
"I got you." Maybelle said taking her daughters hand as they waked back to the room.
"You can just lay up here." The nurse said pating the table and puting Inez's folder onto the counter.
Inez layed down hesitantly and stared up at the ceiling. Maybelle sat down in the chair on the wall and watched her daughter's stomach move up and down as she breathed.
During the ultra-sound Maybelle's eyes never left her daughter until the doctor shared some inportant news.
"You look about 5 months along. That's longer than what we thought. Do you want you find out the gender?" Dr.Harris ask. Dr. Harris was Maybelle's doctor when she was pregnant with Seaweed and again when she was pregnant with Inez.
"Yes." Inez said more cheerful. Dr.Harris nodded and slid the machine over Inez's stomach looking for the male or female part.
"It looks like you're having a little boy." Dr.Harris said taking a picture on the machine of the baby. Inez and Maybelle smiled brightly looking at the machine. They finished up everything and Dr.Harris gave Inez her prescription and sent them on their way.
"A baby boy. Wow." Maybelle said amazed as they were heading to lunch with the rest of the wedding party.
"I know. That's weird." Inez said as they pulled up to the restaurant.
"Hey baby!" Corny exclaimed wrapping his arms around Maybelle as she and Inez approached the table.
"Hey." Maybelle responded giving Corny a kiss. She and Inez sat down and ate with everyone else, talking and having fun. As 3 o'clock approached them Corny began to feel sad.
"Alright time to say goodbye lovebirds. It's 2:55." Seaweed said checking his watch. Maybelle nodded her head and looked over to Corny seeing the dissapointment on his face.
"Awe Rory. It's only for 24 hours. It'll fly by so fast you won't even notice." Maybelle reassured Corny. Corny pulled Maybelle into a kiss and held onto her tight, too afraid to let her go. After about 2 minutes the two realized that they were not the only ones there and finally came up for air.
"Alright bye baby." Maybelle said standing up from the table along with the ladies.
"Bye my love." Corny said, sending her off with a wave and a blow kiss that she caught in her and, placing it on her cheek.
