One or Two Things I Know for Sure
Chapter 18 Boy
"What makes you think it's another girl?" Allison asks, sitting behind the table in her office. She's been trying to finish her paper work but her dear husband won't leave her alone.
If only Jimmy could keep his mouth shut about who was it that was betting with him on the pool. She should have known he wouldn't be able to keep a secret; he acts so much like the gossip queen at a high school sometimes.
"We have three girls; I'm just going with the odds" Greg answers, crossing his legs on top of the small couch in her office.
She arches a brow slightly; she knows it's not the entire reason.
"What makes you think it's a boy?" he accuses.
"I just have a feeling"
"You also thought Annabel was a boy. Now unless everything I learned in medical school is wrong, I'm pretty sure she is a girl"
Allison laughs gently, a hand on her protruding belly. Feeling a small kick against the palm of her hand, this is her fourth pregnancy but she is still amazed by it.
"I thought all men wanted a boy. Carrying on the family name and what not" she says, making her best 'manly' voice. It causes her husband to look at her like she's gone slightly nuts.
"I don't know boys, girls are easier" he answers after a few moments, tapping his cane.
"You are an awesome dad Greg, otherwise do you really think you would have three girls running up to you when you get home?" she asks gently, reaching across the table to take his hand in hers.
"You are going to be great with this baby too, no matter if it's a boy or a girl"
Greg gets up and walks around her desk, planting a gentle kiss on her lips. His hand lifting one of her files to pull the corner of the image he saw there.
"You are sneaky" he says against her lips, she bites his bottom lip and tries to hold back a smile.
"I couldn't help it" she answers, trying to reach over and grab the ultrasound picture from his hand.
Greg holds his hand up and she knows she won't be able to reach it even if she stands up.
"I thought we wouldn't find out till the actual birth date" he tells her, looking into the delicate little person in the grainy picture.
He can make out the little arms and legs, the hands and head.
"Little boy huh?" he asks, mesmerized by the picture of his child. His little boy.
"Had to happen sometime" Allison answers, getting up from her chair to look at the photo.
"Oh the girls are so going to beat up on him"
He loves the sound of her laughter.

Not my best, but more soon.
Sorry took so long to update, I keep getting stupid spam mail from Huddy fans, which causes me to have a really hard time to write.
Please review!
