Chapter 3
Getting Bigger
It was the middle of Emma's third month of pregnancy and she was starting to show. People were starting to notice. Emma was glad though that she wouldn't be kicked out of Degrassi. Since the principal was Peter's mom, she decided that it would be ok for Emma to stay and still get an education until she had the baby.
Emma walked over to her locker to find Peter leaning against it.
"Hey Em. Feeling ok?" Peter asked kindly.
"Yeah, some annoying morning sickness this morning but other than that good." Emma said to Peter.
"So I'll drive you to your doctor's appointment today." Peter said smiling down at Emma's stomach.
"Hey Emma." Manny walked up to Peter and Emma.
"So Peter, Manny. Guess what? Today Peter and I find out if we're having a girl or boy!" Emma said cheerfully.
"That's great Em. What do you guys want to have?" Manny asked.
"Either one is fine. As long as they're healthy." Emma replied.
"Same, all's I want is a healthy mom and baby." Peter smiled at Emma and Emma smiled back.
At the doctor's office.
Emma is really nervous and is jiggling her leg up and down. Peter places his hand on her thighs to calm her down.
"Calm down babe, we've been here twice before. Everything will be ok." Peter reassured Emma.
"I know, I know, but today we find out the sex of the baby! I'm just nervous is all." Emma replied.
"I know, me too." Peter said looking at Emma.
"Emma Nelson?" A doctor asked looking around the waiting room.
"Hi." Emma smiled at their doctor.
Emma and Peter walked into the examination room and Peter helped Emma lay down on the bed.
"So you're in your third month. You have an option to know the sex of the baby. Would you like to know?" The doctor asked kindly.
"Yes." Emma nodded as well did Peter at her.
"Alright well, it looks like you and Peter are having a healthy baby girl." The doctor said scrolling around on the ultrasound machine.
Peter's already smiling face broke out into and even bigger face as did Emma. "A girl, we're having a daughter." Peter looked down at Emma with tears in his eyes. "She's so beautiful." Emma cried while pointing at the ultrasound. Peter nodded.
"Everything else seems to be going well, I'll print these pictures of the baby and then you'll be on your way." The doctor said. She printed the pictures handed them to Emma, and then Emma and Peter were out the door. They went to the front desk to make their appointment for the next month and they left hand in hand.
"I can't believe we're going to have a beautiful baby girl in six months." Peter said happily placing his hand gently on Emma's growing stomach.
"I know, I'm getting so big! I can hardly fit in my pants anymore!" Emma stated.
"You're the most beautiful pregnant women I've ever seen. Maybe we should get you some maternity clothes. My dad gave me a credit card a while ago and he pays for it all so we can buy some baby stuff too." Emma smiled at Peter.
"Aww, that's so sweet of you. I'll get some new clothes for me and the baby, but my Dad and Mom said that they'll get the baby furniture. Thanks so much Peter." Emma leaned over and kissed Peter gently.
"Anything for my two girls." Peter smiled and helped Emma into the car and then they drove off to the mall.
At the mall
Emma and Peter walked into "Mother's Wear". Emma picked out some new jeans, a couple of shirts and they were off to the Children's Place.
Peter picked up a small light pink outfit with a pink bow on the collar and showed it to Emma. "How about this one? It's adorable." Emma nodded and grabbed some other clothes that their daughter would need. Soon Emma and Peter were done shopping and went down to the food court, Peter holding their many shopping bags in his hands.
"Thanks so much for everything. But are you sure you don't want me to carry the bags?" Emma asked glancing at Peter carrying their four shopping bags.
"No, trust me it's fine. I don't want you carrying anything too heavy. It's not good for you two. And you're welcome." Peter replied.
"I'll pay for the snack." Emma said.
"Ok, sure I guess." Peter said to Emma.
Peter put their bags down at a table in the food court while Emma went and got her and Peter a coke, and a pretzel each. They were enjoying their food when Jimmy and Hazel walked by.
"Hey Emma, Peter." Hazel said smiling at the couple.
Jimmy and Peter nodded at each other.
"Hey guys." Emma said smiling at the boy in his wheelchair and his girlfriend in tow.
Jimmy and Hazel walked away hand in hand.
"Why did Emma have bags from the Children's Place and a maternity clothing store? Is she pregnant?" Hazel asked Jimmy confused.
"I think so. I mean her stomach is getting bigger. I didn't know Emma would be the one to get pregnant at Degrassi." Hazel and Jimmy laughed.
