Sophia's POV
It still didn't occur to me why Hank didn't want me to go to Dr. Xavier's funeral, and I didn't really care. It made me heartsick when he fought in the mutant war against Magneto. I worried that he wouldn't come back the same: a homo sapient. I would still love him no matter what. He had just been promoted to Ambassador of Mutant Affairs. Weeks and weeks went by. I was then 5 months pregnant. We had our every few weeks doctor's appointments and each and every time Baby was getting healthier and healthier. We decided to refer to baby as Baby, like an official name until we know the baby's sex. We were so excited! Baby's first snow; Baby's first Christmas; Baby's first Easter and Thanksgiving ohh it was just so exciting! I still hadn't decided where Baby's room should be: in one of the guest rooms or in here with us in the first couple of months then try letting him or her sleep in the room alone.
Everyday he would go to work, leaving me and Baby at home. He would kiss me on my forehead and my stomach and say 'I will return soon, my darlings. I love you two.' And I would I love you for both of us. He would keep his head on my stomach overnight after we said our prayers. For the rest of the day i stayed in bed and watched TLC's Baby Story on the new super slim Samsung LCD TV all day. I then heard him pull in the drive way and come in the house. It was 2:00 when he got home, but he isn't off until 6:00, depending on if he has to stay late...which I hate.
" Hey, Sophia," He said coming in, kissing me on the forehead.
" Get dressed, we have an ultrasound today and we get to find out the gender of Baby."
" Is that why you're home so early?" I said getting out of bed and finding something to wear.
" Yes. You don't have to get dressed up, just through something on."
" What time is the appointment?"
" 2:45."
" Oh, okay." I said throwing on some jeans and a maternity shirt saying 'Im Important' on the belly. Hank unexpectedly bought that for me...I love that shirt.
It takes approximately 30 minutes to get there and 15 minutes in the waiting room. So we got there on time. Before you know it we were in the ultrasound room, with me laying on the bed waiting for the doctor to come in and start the ultrasound.
" Alright Ms. Commers and Mr. McCoy, how are we today?'
" Good, and you?" We both said.
" Eh, cant complain. So, how's everything, have you been feeling any pain?"
" Um, no not really."
" Okay thats good, thats good." He said writing down on the clipboard.
" You haven't been taking the ibuprofen still, right?"
" Correct. I been stopped taking those."
" Okay thats good. So lets get started. Are you guys ready to find out the sex of your baby?" I waited weeks for this moment, and I was so anxious!
" Ohmygoodness Sophia. This is it." Hank said.
" I know baby."
" You two are very excited, aren't you?" The doctor asked playfully.
" Yes, very." We both said.
The doctor turned on the ultrasound machine, squirted the blue gel on me and put the transducer on my stomach.
" Okay...let me see...ah! Congrats guys. It seems that you are going to have a little girl!"
" Omystarsandgarters, Sophia. We're going to have little baby Janine!" Hank said with elation.
" Thank you, Doctor, for everything you have done for us."
" You are very welcome. Now, there is a couple other things I would like to ask you."
" Okay..."
" Well we don't have to go over them now, we can just wait until your next visit, which will be...next month?"
" Okay thats fine." Saying that we got the sonograph of Janine and got discharged.
Little did I know, there was a lot to be done before little Janine arrived.
