Boy or Girl?
Connie's POV
The weeks seemed to pass by quickly and my next doctors appointment was here before I knew it. This time Guy was the only one who was going with me. Julie and Adam said that they needed a day to rest and enjoy each others company. Guy and I promised them that we would stop by after the appointment to tell them what the doctor said.
"What do you think the doctor will want to do today?" Guy asked me as we sat in the waiting room.
"I don't know. Hopefully we can find out the sex of the baby. Wouldn't it be great to be able to tell Julie and Adam what their baby is going to be?" I answered him.
"Do they want to know what the baby will be before it is born?" Guy asked.
That had never occurred to me before. Neither had said a word to me about whether or not they wanted to know. "I don't know. I haven't asked them."
"Then maybe we should when we go over there this afternoon." Guy suggested.
I nodded my head. "I think that would be a good idea." I told him. "I hope they want to know, because I want to find out and I don't know if I could find out and then keep it away from them, even if it is what they want."
"I guess I can see what you mean." Guy told me as the nurse appeared in the waiting room.
"Connie Germaine." Guy and I headed back into the office and I had to go through all of the normal stuff; checking my weight and blood pressure. I still would not let her tell me exactly how much I weighed. "Dr. Smith will be right in." The nurse told us as she walked out of the room.
A minute or so afterwards, Dr. Smith walked in. "Good morning Connie, Guy." she said. "Did Julie and Adam not accompany you today?"
"No, not today." I answered. "But I'm sure they will be here next time."
"Well, that's too bad, we can probably find out the sex of the baby today. Do you think they would want to know what it is?" she asked and I eagerly nodded my head.
"I'm sure they would." I answered only because I myself was dying to know.
"Alright, well I'm gonna let you get changed and we will se what we can do." she handed me the hospital gown and I headed for the nearest bathroom to get changed. I came back into the room and Guy helped me up onto the exam table.
The familiar cold jelly was rubbed on my stomach and the ultrasound began. The baby's picture appeared on the screen and Guy and I looked at it in awe. "Can you tell what it is?" I asked continuing to look at the baby on the screen.
"Yes," Dr. Smith answered. "Are you sure you want to know what it is?"
"Yes, I want to know. I want to be the one to be able to tell Julie and Adam what their baby is going to be."
"Alright, look right here." she pointed to the screen and I looked to where she was pointing. "You see that."
"Is that a…" Guy started but was cut off by Dr. Smith.
"Yes, the baby is a boy." she told us and I smiled. I couldn't wait to get home to tell Julie and Adam about their baby boy. The rest of the appointment went by smoothly. I was given an appointment for six weeks from now.
Guy and I rushed home and immediately headed next door. Guy rang the bell as I stood their anxiously awaiting for the door to open. After a few seconds, it finally opened to reveal Julie standing at the door. "We're not interrupting anything are we?" Guy asked smiling.
Julie smiled back. "No we were just watching an old hockey game. Are you guys back from the doctor already?"
"Yeah, remember we said we would be by afterwards?" Guy asked her.
Julie nodded. "Of course, come on in, Adam's in the living room." We walked past her and into the living room. We sat on the sofa next to Adam and waited for Julie to join us.
"Hey guys," Adam greeted us. "How did the doctor's appointment go?"
"That's what we wanted to talk to you about." Guy answered him.
I could see the look of worry form on Julie's face, "there isn't anything wrong is there?"
"Of course not. We were wondering if you wanted to know if you were having a boy or a girl." Guy stated.
"Did you guys find out today?" Adam asked and I nodded.
"Are you going to tell us already?" Julie asked excitedly.
I smiled as I handed her a copy of the latest ultrasound picture. "It's a beautiful baby boy." I told them and Julie's smile grew wider. I glanced over at Adam and his facial expression was just like Julie's. I could tell that we had just made their day.
Please review and tell me what you think!
