Chapter 2~!

Disclaimer: Again…I own nothing -_-U

It's A Boy!

Ran and Shinichi stepped into the room. Dr. Ariade entered in after a few seconds.

"How are you two doing?" He asked. Ran smiled.

"We're doing well. The three of us."

He nodded and prepared for the ultrasound. "And has anything been bothering you? Any cramping or any changes?" He asked as he checked her blood pressure.

"I've gained about ten pounds in the past month." Ran said. Dr. Ariade laughed.

"That's normal. You are going to gain quite a lot of weight, it's healthy for the baby to gain extra weight and about seventy-five percent will be lost at the birth."

We'll never hear the end… Shinichi thought.

"Ok, let's see what's going on." Dr. Ariade said as he lifted Ran's shirt and squirted gel onto her.

This was the first ultrasound Shinichi had been to.

"The baby is healthy and so are you so that's normal. Heart beat is normal rated, which is really good. If this keeps up, the baby will be born with no problems."

Ran looked up at Shinichi and smiled. "Hear that? The baby is fine."

He leaned down and kissed her.

"Do you wanna know the sex?" He asked as he printed them off.

Shinichi and Ran both nodded.

Dr. Ariade snickered, "It's a boy."

Shinichi smiled and placed a kiss on Ran's lips. He was excited to hear he was having a son.

"Thank you, Dr. Ariade." Ran said. He nodded and handed him the pictures.

"No problem, keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great." He looked down at his charts and then back to Ran. "So, your next appointment doesn't have to be too soon, but I would recommend coming within in the next 40 days, unless something happens of course."

"Can we make an appointment on the fifth of the following month?" He nodded and circled it.

"Ok, I'll see you then. If you experience any sort of cramping or bleeding, please, come on over. Those are serious matters that need to be treated immediately."

She nodded and stood up. Shinichi took her hand and then walked out of the hospital.

"Aren't you excited?" Ran asked. Shinichi looked down at her and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her.

"Of course, not only are we going to be parents but parents of a boy,"

"Mom's gonna be disappointed," Ran said softly. She laughed. "She wanted me to have a girl,"

Shinichi snickered as they walked across the street. "My mom will be disappointed. She wanted a girl and since mom and dad were so busy, they didn't have enough time for another kid,"

Ran snickered, "Well, they are getting their grandchild so, that should be enough."

Shinichi nodded. "Yeah, I know mom is thrilled, but she wanted a girl."

Ran smiled. "Thank you, Shinichi." He looked at her. "You know, for coming back for the appointment."

"It was important," he said, simply. A small smile crept on his face. "I mean, we got to know what to expect in a baby." She snickered and kissed him before the pain came back again. He let out a small cry of pain. "Shinichi, are you ok?"

He looked at her, practically gasping. "Yes," he said in short breaths. He slowly inhaled and exhaled again, "Ran, I have to go. I will be back soon and I will let you know."

He turned to walk away. Ran stopped him and slipped another envelope in his hands. "Keep these with you, so when you think of us, you can at least see your son."

He nodded and ran off. Ran watched him as he faded away. She sighed and turned around to head home. She looked up as rain trickled down her face.

An hour later

Conan sighed as he sat up. Ai turned to him.

"It seems after you shrunk, you blacked out for fifty minutes," she said. Conan looked around. Agasa stepped out of the bathroom.

"Shinichi, you're awake."

"Yeah, um, professor, are mom and dad home?" Conan asked looking at him.

Agasa nodded. "Yeah, they've been home for a day now. I don't think they're leaving for awhile."

"I didn't expect them too, especially since they have a grandchild on the way," he stood up and grabbed the envelope from the table.

"Say, Shinichi what are you expecting?" Agasa asked. Conan smiled and looked up.

"We're expecting a boy."

"Congratulations," the old man said. Conan nodded.

"Yeah, we're both excited for it. Mom's gonna be disappointed though, she was hoping Ran would have a girl."

"There's always other chances," Ai said grinning. Conan's cheeks became rosy. He tuned and headed out the door.

He took a deep breath when he entered outside.

Spring was around the corner, finally. He walked up the path to his door and opened it up. "Mom?" He asked as he walked in. He took off his shoes and coat as he stepped further. "Dad?" He hung up his coat on the hook. There were no sounds, but it was warm, which was a sign that someone either had the heat or was using the fireplace or oven.

"Shin-chan, is that you!' Yukiko shouted as she flew out from the library, followed by Yusaku. Conan smiled.

"I have news," he said. They both looked down.

"Is it the baby?" Yukiko asked. Conan nodded with a smile. "Ooh what are you expecting?"

Conan grinned and handed her the envelope. She slowly took them out.

Yusaku looked over her and looked at them as well. "So is the baby a he or she?" Yusaku asked. He tried to examine it but the lighting wasn't really enough.

Conan turned to his mother, "I'm sorry mom but, we're expecting a boy." A grin appeared on his face.

She looked down at him. "Hm, I know I wanted you to have a girl but, at least I'm getting a grandchild!" she squealed and wrapped her arms around him. "Besides there are always other opportunities when you can conceive another baby, and possibly have it be a girl." Conan blushed once again.

"Congratulations, son." Yusaku said looking down at him. Conan nodded.

"Thanks, dad."

"And he's already got the look," Yukiko said as she examined his features.

"What look?" Conan asked. Yusaku looked down.

"He's gonna look like you,"

Conan smirked, "Heh, is that a bad thing or a good thing?" He asked curiously.

Yukiko laughed, "Good I suppose, but we'll see, if he has nothing from Ran-chan, then, I suppose bad." She laughed and sighed. "I'm kidding, Shin-chan."

He groaned and looked up. "You can keep those here. Ran has copies at the apartment. She's showing them to her parents as we speak.

Mouri Residence

"Ran, is it a he or a she?" Eri asked as she turned to her daughter, who was sipping some tea.

Ran smiled. "The baby is a he."

"A grandson, you hear that, Kogoro? You are having a grandson."

He looked up. It was hard for him to cope with it, but alas, as long as Ran was happy, he should be proud.

"He's been playing on my bladder for an hour now," she said standing up. She walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

Eri set the sonograms down. "I think she should come live with me."

Kogoro looked at her. "Why?"

She sighed. "It'll only be until the baby is born…even then, I think they should be under my roof. Face it, you wouldn't be able to handle it."

"You don't think I am capable of taking her to the hospital?"

Eri sighed. "Well, you aren't really the smartest man when it comes to labor, remember, what happened before Ran was born?"

Flashback

"Kogoro! Kogoro, wake up!" Eri shouted at him. She was leaning over him, shaking him. "KOGORO!"

He opened his eyes. "What?"

"I think the baby is coming."

"What! Can't she wait?"

"No, she wants to come out now."

He flew out of bed. "Oh my god. What do we do!"

"Go to the hospital."

"We need to get some clothes for your overnight stay, and something for the baby to come home in."

Eri picked up her bag. "Kogoro, we have everything already packed, remember? We packed a month ago." He sighed in relief and then she winced in pain.

"Come on!" He grabbed her hand and practically dragged her to the car.

End of Flashback

"Hey, we got to the hospital in time." Kogoro said.

Eri sighed, "You panicked, and when you're panicked, you'll make everyone nervous."

"Sorry for being scared." He said coldly.

Ran stepped out of the bathroom. Kogoro looked up and smiled at her.

She sat down and Eri turned to her. "Ran, how do you feel about living with me?" She asked.

Ran looked down. "Thanks on that offer, but I think we will be fine."

"Are you sure, Ran?" Eri asked. Ran gave her an assuring smile and nodded.

"Yes,"

"I could stay here, until the baby is born, if you want."

Ran laughed. "Mom, we will be fine, I swear."

"Well, if you change your mind or need me for anything, don't hesitate to call. I have to go prepare for a case, I'll see you soon." Eri stood up and headed out the door.

Another Hour Later

Conan walked up the steps to the apartment as his phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID and noticed it was Heiji. He groaned and answered it.

"Mushi-mushi?" He asked.

"Kudo! I heard that someone was pregnant, congratulations, man."

Conan smirked, "Thanks, Hattori. How'd you find out?"

"Mouri called Kazuha and I heard it from her."

"Heh, I take it you didn't know until now."

"Hai, so why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't because I was shocked at first. Hattori, do you know how scared I was?"

"I can imagine you must've been pretty scared."

"Yeah, I was. I didn't know what to do, say or think about it. It wasn't even a false alarm and the truth." He sighed and looked up. "I don't think I can tell her the truth…at least not yet. We have worked something out, and it's working. In case we don't take down the Organization when he is born, I will tell her the truth."

"He? You're expecting a boy?"

"Yeah, Kazuha didn't say that?"

"No, all she said was a baby. Congratulations, again on a boy."

He tried to brighten up the mood.

"Hattori, I don't know how much I can take. She is almost five and half months along."

"Don't worry, Kudo. You will take down the organization. It will take time. Just be there for her and soon, everything will be the way you want."

"The way I want? You think I want this? A baby at the age of eighteen? Heh, did you see the way I was now? I am the height and age of an eight year old."

"Are you not happy?"

Conan sighed. "I am happy, I told her to keep the baby, obviously, but we are both too young. She's not even out of school yet."

"Isn't she graduating in another couple of months?"

"Yes, but having a baby right after school? That's gonna screw up her plans of doing anything she wanted."

"Kudo,"

"I know. I am just frustrated right now. And before you ask, no I will not leave her; I wouldn't do that to her or my son."

"That's good to hear, Kudo."

"Hattori, I'm gonna go now. It was nice of you to call. Hopefully we will see you sometime soon."

"Yeah, sure thing Kudo. I guess I will see you sometime soon. Good-bye."

Conan clicked off the phone and stepped into the apartment. Ran was in the kitchen making some dinner.

She stepped out after hearing the door. "Hello, Conan-kun, I am making ramen for dinner and then for dessert, I was thinking some lemon pie. I was craving that."

Conan nodded.

He sat down at the table across from Kogoro who was once again, watching Yoko Okino.

Conan sighed and pulled out a manga to pass the time.
