She didn't go to Dom's that night. She decided to stay home and get some extra rest. The events of the pervious day were still fresh in her mind and it made her shutter. It was so NOT the way she wanted Dom to find out he was going to be a Father, but he knew now and that was all that mattered.
Now she sat, the phone ringing in her ear and her heart pounding in her chest.
"You got Dom." The voice on the line said.
"Dom? It's Jessica."
"Hey, what's up? Everything ok?"
"Yeah. Do you think you can get away for a few hours today?"
"Hum," she heard a bunch of papers rustling, "Yeah, when?"
"About one, the doctor wants to make sure everything is ok so he moved up the ultrasound."
"So we get to see the baby?"
"Yeah, maybe even find out what it is."
"Really?" He couldn't contain the excitement in his voice or the nervous ripple. Seeing it will make it all that much more real.
He showed up about forty-five minutes later looking fantastic. He was dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a black short sleeve button down shirt. She had a hard time not drooling and briefly wondered how on Earth Latty could have ever cheated on him. He was a fine male sample.
She smiled at him and took a deep breath. "You ready for this?"
"Umm…"
"Exactly."
-
They were sitting in the doctors off, Dom was looking around, bouncing his knees, then he would stand up and walk around with his hands in his pockets, or looking through drawers. He opened on and blanched, Jessica couldn't help the bubble of laugher she let out, served him right snooping. "Speculum."
"I don't even want to know." He said, truly thinking God that he was a male.
The door opened and they both turned to see the doctor walk in. He was a very attractive man, about six foot, give or take an inch. Electric blue eyes, black curly hair and resembled a mix of Tom Selleck and John Travolta. Dom felt an instant wave of jealously rip through him and his body tensed.
"Jessica, what have you been doing to yourself?" He asked before he looked up and noticed Dom.
"Dr. Rock, this is Dominic Torretto, the father."
Dr. Rock smiled and shook his hand. Dom was pleased to find the man hand a strong grip; at least he won't be dropping his kid. "Nice to meet you Mr. Torretto. Well, that would explain why you are measuring big, baby's taking after Daddy."
"You too. So Doc, she ok?"
"Yes, we see this type of thing a lot. She just needs to control her stress level and learn to take it easy."
"She will."
"Hum, hello, I'm here you know."
"Right. Ok, you ready to see that kid of yours?"
"Do you think we can find out the sex?" She asked him.
"Yes, you should be able to see it, is that what you want?"
"We um, haven't discussed it, Dom?" She looked at Dom and had to suppress a laugh, he was getting that nervous look again. "Do you want to know what it is?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, let's have a look then." The doctor squirted some cold jelly on her stomach while Dom stared at it. The last time he saw her naked stomach, it was flat and then he did THAT to her. He blinked and tried to bring himself back to the present when the memories threatened to give him a hard on right in the doctor's office. Jessica held out a hand for him and he reached out and grabbed it and held on for dear life. "Here's the baby's head."
"Oh my God, is this one of those 3D ultrasounds?" He nodded, "You can see everything, look at its face Dom. Bald just like you." She was laughing as tears came out of her eyes. Dom just stood there, speechless.
The doctor continued on, showing them the baby's little arms and legs, toes, and fingers everything. The baby even sucked its thumb for them. "Ok, the moment of truth. Move those legs." He ran the wand over one more time and then froze the picture and smiled. "There you go. See the turtle?"
"Turtle?" Dom asked confused.
"A boy?" Jessica's voice was hardly a whisper. "I knew it. I knew it was a boy."
"A boy? I'm, were gonna have a son?" He asked her, tears filling his eyes. He bent down and kissed her then rested his forehead on hers. Doctor Rock smiled. She had told him that the father didn't know and she had no real plans on telling him. He could see they finally worked out what the problem was and they made a nice couple. He could also tell that while Dom would be a good father, he knew the baby was lucky he was a boy cause if it was a girl, she would have never been allowed to go on a date. He left a print out photo of them and a disk of the ultrasound they could take home and see again and quietly left the room.
They stayed that way for a few more minutes, both of them trying to get a grip on their emotions then they were Jessica's stomach rumble loudly. Laughing she said, "Looks like he wants to eat."
"He…" Dom tested and smiled. "Well, let's go feed him then. He's gonna eat like his old man… I only hope he doesn't eat like Vince, that man can put it away."
-
They made their way back to Dom's house and when they walked in, silence fell. All eyes were on them as everyone waited to know how it went.
"Well brother?" Vince was, as always the first to ask. "Did you find out what you're having?"
Dom smiled, "Boy." Jessica felt herself melt at the pride in his voice and couldn't wait to see him with their son in his arms.
Everyone started yelling and hugging, even Letty congratulated them briefly before she left the house to go on her date.
"So, a little Dom. Dear God, this world's in trouble now. One more Toretto male is all we need." Mia joked, earning herself a noggie on the head from Dom.
"That's you nephew your talking about."
"I know, I can't wait to go shopping, I'm sure they sell baby size wife beaters somewhere."
"Yeah and little baby boxer shorts."
"Hey Jess, you like my boxers."
"I like you out of them." She uttered the words before she realized it and then proceeded to turn three shades of red. "Oh my god, I didn't just say that did it?" Dom's cocking grim and the hooting laughter of everyone else told her she did. "Damn pregnancy brain, Think before you talk Jessica… think not say! I'm hungry." She said, trying to change the subject.
"We just ate."
"Yeah well, if I have something in my mouth, then I will be less inclined to say something else stupid." She got a raised eye brow for this one and then realized what she said and growled and laughed. "Ok, I'm really shutting up now."
"It's ok Jessica, I think I like what's coming out of your mouth."
"I know what's not coming in my mouth." She shuttered and covered her face, "Oh my God, with your sister in the room too. I'm leaving, that's it. Don't laugh at me you big oaf. It is a proven fact that when you're pregnant, it effects your brain cells, not as much blood making it too your brain, the huge leech I have growing in my stomach it taking it all."
"So now my son's a leech."
"Yeah, like Vince, takes up residency and then refuses to leave." Brian added accusing everyone to laugh and Vince to scowl.
"Come on, lets get you something to eat before you embarrass me."
"I don't think that's possible." She muttered into his shoulder when he pulled her into a hug.
"I can do it for you Dom. Hey Jessica, remind me to tell you about the time Dom…" She cut out with a squeal when Dom lunged for her.
"I think it's time you and I go out to lunch Mia."
"Agreed." Mia said, unafraid at the 'scary' look Dom was giving her. "Paybacks a bitch Dom." She muttered to him remembering all the times he embarrassed her in front of her friends or potential boyfriends. He even tried that shit with Brian who saw though the crap and brushed him off. It pissed Dom off for a while be he got over it and now they were good friends.
