Thanks for reviewing! I don't think I will be mean to anyone in this story (Cecilia will have very minor if any complications during the pregnancy. Did I mention that teen pregnancy is not a good thing? I don't think I did, so please note that it isn't... Here's another chapter!
Chapter 4: Baby Shopping and Doctor Visits
(A/N: I know that generally, you don't go shopping for everything before the baby comes, but I don't think I'm gonna let them wait, so...)
Simon sat patiently, waiting for Cecilia to pick out some cute maternity clothes. That morning had not gone well because she had nothing to wear that would fit her, so Simon decided that he would take her shopping.
So here they were, at Motherhood Maternity with Cecilia wearing Simon's sweatpants and t-shirt. She was looking through a rack of dresses. "Si, do you like this one?" she asked him, holding up a blue sundress that had white ruffles around the edges. He grinned.
"You'll have to try it on before I can tell you if I like it or not, Cec."
"Why? So you can see my curves... and the baby bump?" she asked.
"Yeah, so I can see how sexy you look."
"Simon..." she warned. She didn't want to hear how sexy she was. If she hadn't been sexy that night...well, let's just say she wouldn't be here right now. She went into the dressing room with that and some other things that she liked, including a light pastel orange-colored sweat suit for laying around in, some cute pastel colored t-shirts and three pairs of stretchy jeans. She modeled them for him. He really liked them and they quickly paid for them and went to Carter's Baby.
They bought some really cute things for their little bundle of joy. Simon liked the yellow ducky theme, so that's what they built the room colors around. They found a soft stuffed duck and some cute little rubber ducks that lit up in different colors that would match the pastel yellow walls and light orange carpet. They already had a white crib and the stuff that went with it, so they just bought some cute duck pictures and a soft yellow blanket to go with the room.
They didn't buy a whole lot more than that because they wanted to find out what the baby was before they got any clothes and diapers and stuff. They did get a ducky diaper bag, though. It was really cute and was big so it would hold a lot.

The next day, they went to see Dr. Foster, who was Cecilia's OB/GYN. Matt was unable to be her doctor because he was in Glenoak for the year. Dr. Foster was friends with Matt and he was very nice. He took very good care of her and charged them close to nothing.
On this particular day, they went to find out the sex of the baby. Dr. Foster did the ultrasound. "Well, are you ready to find out what you're having?" he asked them.
They both nodded. Cecilia looked up at Simon and smiled at him.
"Well, I hope you're ready to meet your little princess in December."
"It's a girl?" Cecilia asked him.
Dr. Foster nodded.
Cecilia's eyes filled with tears. Simon kissed her warm hair. She smiled. She had always wanted a girl. Her dream ever since she was little had been to have a girl for her first child.

That night, they had leftover steak for dinner and finally they went to bed. They were soon calling the baby Castle, which was short for Castle-Lynn. As they lay in their bed, they talked about how excited they were to meet their daughter.
"I think she is going to look exactly like her mother," Simon said, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend and kissing her on the cheek.
"Really? I was kind of hoping she would look like you," Cecilia countered.
"Yeah, I kind of hope she looks like both of us."
As they sat there on the bed, Simon took her hand in his and asked her to marry him. He put the ring they had picked out earlier on her finger. They decided that they would get married after their daughter was born. It felt so weird to them, calling the baby an actual name...
There's another chapter! Sorry it's kind of short, but I was out trick or treating. Happy Halloween! Sharayah
