Heather met Garcia at the local coffee shop.
"Have you started planning yet?" Heather said, ordering her mocha latte.
"A little", Garcia said. "I'm a little overwhelmed."
"Is Derek helping?"
"A bit. He just says, 'what ever makes my Baby Girl happy'. It's sweet, but I could really use some help."
"What about his mom?" Heather said, picking out two scones.
"She's coming in about a week. I'm really excited…" Garcia stopped talking when she saw Heather pick up the scone and devour it in two bites. "Hungry much?" she said laughing.
"Starving", Heather said, between bites. "Have no idea why. I'm usually not hungry like this."
They grabbed a table in the back and sat down.
"Are you getting married at David's?" Heather said.
"He offered. So I think we will." Garcia looked at Heather and smiled. "Are you pregnant?"
Heather spit out her scone in laughter. "Um no, why?"
"You're face is fuller, and your appetite has increased. Plus, you're glowing", Garcia said, smiling.
"Nah", Heather said. "I can't be. I don't think I am…" A waiter stopped by the table.
"Can I get you lovely ladies anything else?" he said.
"Can I get a refill?" Garcia said, motioning to her tea cup.
"And I'll have some water and another blueberry scone", Heather said, and then looked up at Garcia giving her a raised eyebrow. "Alright, I'll take a test. But you're wrong", she said sipping her coffee. Dead wrong."
Heather sat on the doctor bed in the office. Her feet were swinging from the bed and she was nervously waiting for the doctor. The two tests she took were inconclusive. One said positive and the other negative. So she made an appointment to see the OBGYN.
"Mrs. Reid?" the doctor said coming in. "I'm Dr. Blake. How are you feeling?"
"I feel fine", Heather said.
"No nausea?" Dr. Blake asked.
"Nope."
"Good. So we ran your blood work. I believe congratulations are in order." Dr. Blake said.
"She was right", Heather whispered.
"I'm sorry?" Dr. Blake said.
"My friend Penelope, she was right. She told me I was pregnant. I just didn't believe her."
"Sounds like you're friend has a good eye. Did she happen to tell you how far long?"
"No. How far am I?"
"About 2 and a half months. It's why I asked about nausea. You're almost done with your first trimester." Dr. Blake handed Heather a chart. "This is what you're baby looks like now. We'll get you in a week for a full ultrasound. There is one concern though."
"Oh?" Heather said.
"I'm a little worried about your blood sugar. It was a bit elevated. And if it stays like that, there is risk of gestational diabetes. What is a typical breakfast for you?"
"Um, mocha latte, venti, a couple of scones, and maybe a sausage, egg and cheese bagel." Heather looked at the doctor and cringed. "Too much sugar, right?"
"Way too much", he said seriously. His tone lightened a bit. "You didn't know, so you get a pass, young lady. But I need you to follow this", he said handing her an eating chart. "You're going to eat like you are a diabetic. This will ensure that you and the baby will stay healthy and keep you off of bed rest." He helped her get down. "Get the prenatals and eat healthy. You're doing just fine, and I'll see you in a week."
Heather walked out the doctor's office and her phone rang.
"Hi Penny", Heather answered.
Penelope was quiet for a minute and then screamed. "I was right, wasn't I?"
Heather sighed and laughed. "You were right, Love."
Morgan sat at his desk staring out the window into nothing.
"What's up Youngster?" Rossi said, passing by his desk. "What's on your mind?"
"Just thinking of Baby Girl", he said with a grin. "I want her day to be perfect."
"And it will be", Rossi said. "Are you guys taking me up on my offer to get married at my place?"
"I think we are", he said. "I know it would be a load off of Penelope's mind. She's already nervous and stressed."
"Then leave everything to me. I'll call a meeting with you guys and we'll find out what you really like and we'll make it an event you will never forget." Rossi patted him on the shoulder.
Morgan got up and headed towards Garcia's den. He was just about to knock when he heard her scream. "I was right wasn't I? Yes! Pregnant!"
