Nine Months – By tiva_mcabby5

A little story about Linda and Danny and if they had another baby (which they should; that would be adorable) that was to be a one shot but got a lot of positive feedback …The perspectives will change from chapter to chapter…sometimes being a Blue Bloods character, sometimes Maeve, and sometimes the narrator (me).

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT a mother and I am NOT pregnant. Therefore, I don't know that much about pregnancy and/or ultrasounds, etc. I'm a 16 year old writer, so please don't criticize me on any inaccuracies regarding pregnancy, etc. Also, apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes…I'm not perfect and I'm tired.

Perspective: Linda

Eight weeks

I regularly go to see my OB/GYN, but after calling her to tell her why I'd be coming in, and hearing her excited reaction, I knew this trip would be special. Dr. Ella Kroemer is my doctor, and has also become one of my close friends. She was there when both Jack and Sean were born, and I knew she'd be there for this baby too.

Danny and I had been two weeks earlier, the day after we had found out, for my first prenatal exam. Everything went fine and there is nothing wrong with me or the baby. Today, it's my first ultrasound.

Danny picked me up after his shift ended, and we went to my appointment. He couldn't stop smiling the entire drive, which made me even more excited. "You ready for this, Danny?" I asked, laughing.

"Babe, you have no idea how ready I am," he responded, turning into the parking lot.

"Did you tell Jackie yet?"

"Not yet, as we haven't told the rest of the family yet."

"Okay, just wondering." Danny pulled into a parking spot and turned off the car. He was out of his seat and opening my door for me before I could even unbuckle my seatbelt. "I'm pregnant, Danny, not an invalid," I said, giggling at his hospitality. He put his arm around my waist and kissed me sweetly.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you, too," I whispered back. "Now can we go?"

"After you, my dear."

"Well, Linda," Dr. Kroemer said as she walked into the exam room. "Ready to go?"

"Uh-huh," I said, excited as ever.

"Well, I already know your families' health history, but anything new I should know about?"
"Nope," Danny and I said in unison.

"Excellent. How about we talk about your symptoms? Any morning sickness?"

"Like clockwork. Every morning around five o'clock. Which is actually less than I had with either of the boys," I explained.

"I'll give you a prescription for the nausea. Now, how about we get started on that ultrasound?"

Pretty soon, a cold gel was being squeezed onto my stomach and a wand was running over it, searching for the baby inside of me. Finally, our little peanut showed up on the screen. Danny and I both gasped. He squeezed my hand – he had been holding it the entire time.

"There he or she is!" Dr. Kroemer said. "Do you know when your baby was conceived?"

"January 4th," I said. "I'm positive." Danny smiled. I slapped his arm.

"Based on this, I'd say you're about eight weeks pregnant. That makes your due date September 26th. Would you like some pictures?"

"Yes, please," I whispered, still in awe.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, babe," Danny said softly. "Since we've been here, getting an ultrasound."
"Almost eight years."

"It's our little Peanut," Danny said, smiling. "I love you, Linda."

Dr. Kroemer returned with pictures of Peanut as I told Danny I loved him as well. "Here you go!" she said. "I'll see you guys back in a couple of weeks!"

Danny and I thanked her and left, huge smiles spread across our faces.
