Sonogram
Six months later Danny was taking Maggie to her six month sonogram. Today they would find out the gender of their baby. They both secretly hoped it would be a girl. It would just be perfect having one of each.
Colby had fully adapted to his prosthetic leg now and was back at school. They were helping him find a law school for him to attend next year. Even though he'd suffered a setback due to his amputation he'd never given up his dream of going into law. His parents believed he would be an excellent lawyer.
When they got to the hospital they waited for her name to be called out. When it was they went in and she got on the bed while Danny helped reveal her pregnancy bump. They placed some paper on her clothes then rubbed the lubricating gel over her bump and ran the sensor over it.
They both smiled with tears in their eyes as they looked to the screen and saw two little legs, arms and a head. There was their baby. The second baby they'd both longed for. They just wished they hadn't had to wait so many years.
"Would you like to know the gender of your baby?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," they nodded.
"You're going to have a girl."
"A girl," they beamed at each other.
"Oh Danny, we're going to have one of each," she smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Yes we are," he smiled back.
That night when Colby came home he went in to see his parents cuddled up to each other with his dad's hand on her pregnancy bump smiling up at her. He was so happy to see his parents happy at last as they really deserved it.
Remembering they'd had a scan this morning he asked, "So what am I getting?"
"A little sister," they smiled.
"Great," he smiled back sitting the other side of his mother and placing his hand on his little sister. "Hi, I'm Colby, your big brother. I love you already and can't wait to meet you."
He then felt her kick back and he smiled. It had felt weird but he knew it was her way of saying hello while she was in their mother's womb. He just couldn't wait to meet his little sister and be the big brother he'd always wanted to be.
