"You're gaining weight." House kept stride with Thirteen with difficulty. She rolled her eyes. She'd been wearing looser clothes and scrubs in the hope that he wouldn't notice.

"So sue me." She turned to face him. "What's your point?"

"Why are you gaining weight?"

"My girlfriend keeps feeding me." She replied sarcastically. "In other words, it's none of your business."

"Where are you going?"

"To an appointment. Can I leave now?" Remy glared at her boss as she entered the lobby. House saw Cameron waiting on the other side by the door and put two and two together.

"You're pregnant!" He accused, his eyes widening.

Remy sighed. He'd find out sooner or later. "Yes. Now can I go?"

"Yeah." House said thoughtfully. Remy rolled her eyes again and walked away.

"Thank you." She murmured under her breath.

"Ready?" Ally asked gleefully. Remy smiled at her enthusiasm.

"Yes." She wrapped an arm around her girlfriend. She was 16 weeks now, and she was hoping they'd be able to find out the baby's gender. It was still a bit early though.

….

Ally sucked in a breath as the picture came up. "Look!" she said excitedly to Remy, squeezing her hand. "Oh look!"

Remy chuckled. "You'd think you'd never seen an ultrasound before."

Ally kissed her cheek gently. "If it was up to me, we'd spend all our time looking at an ultrasound. We'd take a machine home and…"

"Okay, okay." Remy joked. She turned to the technician. "Can you tell the sex?"

He looked carefully at the screen. "Yes. It's a girl."

Remy grinned happily at Ally. They'd both secretly been hoping for a girl.

Back in the lobby of PPTH, they stayed with their arms around one another for a long time. "Want to go out to lunch to celebrate?" Remy suggested.

Ally nodded into her hair. "Definitely." She raised Remy's chin so she could kiss her gently. "This is amazing, Rem." She whispered.

"I know." Remy whispered back. She couldn't wait to tell her dad she was having a little girl.

Later that night, they set up the speaker phone to call him. "How did the ultrasound go?" her father's voice filtered into the room.

"Great." Remy smiled, leaning against Ally. "It was great, Dad."

"You should have been there, John." Ally put in, her eyes sparkling. "Our baby moving around on the screen…" she squeezed Remy tightly.

"Did you find out if it's a boy or a girl?" John asked.

"It's a girl!" Remy informed him excitedly.

Her father chuckled. "Good. I'm not sure what either of you would have done with a boy."

They grinned at one another. "Hey!" Ally feigned indignance. "We would have been fine!"

"I know you would." John told them calmly. "I'm just razzing you. So you're going to have to find an apartment with two rooms, eh?"

"Yeah." Remy sighed. "We haven't been having much luck to be honest. Especially near the hospital."

"You'll find something." He assured them.

…

"I guess we need to think about names." Ally murmured quietly, her hand on Remy's stomach.

"Yeah." Remy nodded. "Do you have any ideas?"

Ally leaned her head on Remy's shoulder. "I like Rowan and Evelyn."

"I like Robyn."

"I like Robyn too." Ally agreed. "It sounds happy." She yawned, snuggling closer to Remy under the blankets.

"I guess we have to see what suits her, in the end." Remy pointed out, turning so Ally could spoon around her.

"Mmm. I wonder what she'll look like." Remy could feel Ally smile into her shoulder as lips dusted across her skin.

"Dark hair, blue eyes." They'd specifically chosen a donor who had brown hair and blue eyes, each of their natural colours.

"I know, but…I just can't wait to meet her." Ally giggled.

"We've got a few months to go on that one." Remy smiled.

"Yeah." Ally sighed impatiently and hugged Remy to her. "I love you so much."

Remy interlaced her fingers with Ally's own, bringing them up so she could kiss Ally's hand gently. "About as much as I love you, I expect."

…

Much to her frustration, Remy arrived the next morning to a chorus of "CONGRATULATIONS!" from her colleagues in Diagnostics, plus Cuddy and Wilson. House had called that morning telling her to bring Cameron with her for a consult. She knew she was right to be suspicious. House just loved to piss her off. Nonetheless, she couldn't help but smile at the enthusiasm the others showed on their behalf. Ally was tickled pink and couldn't stop hugging everyone. "We wanted to wait until we knew the sex before telling anyone" Remy explained, a hand on her stomach.

"Did you find out?" Cuddy asked, her eyes glowing. Remy nodded, smiling.

"It's a girl!" Ally said, from her place behind Remy, arms wrapped around her waist and chin on her shoulder.

"Oh, I'm so excited for you!" Cuddy moved forward to hug them both again.

…

By the end of the pregnancy, neither of them could stop smiling they were so excited. They'd managed to find an apartment, which Ally had painted with Wilson's help, forbidding Remy from coming into the apartment until she could disperse any trace of the paint fumes. They picked out a cot, chairs for the room, rugs, toys…Anything and everything they could think of that the baby could possibly need. They hadn't planned on a baby shower, but Cuddy couldn't resist the urge to celebrate and surprised them with one anyway, as they came home one evening to find their new home filled with their co-workers, streamers, and cake.

Remy glowed. Ally satisfied her every whim, despite Remy's continued pleas that she didn't really need things like chocolate brownies at two in the morning.

When the time finally came, all went smoothly, and their daughter was born at 6:32 a.m. after seven hours of labour, at PPTH. Robyn Cameron Hadley was 8lbs 3 oz, and absolutely perfect, they thought, curled up side by side in the hospital bed watching the newest member of their family sleep.

Curling into Ally sleepily, Remy smiled. This was one of the best decisions she'd ever made.
