A/N- Just a heads up, I'm probably getting a job soon, so the times I update stories might change depending on my work schedule. I will tell in advance if I have to change. On a side note, have any of you seen the opening credit sequence to the movie Letters to Juliet? I swear that one picture looks like Max and Fang. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

What are We Going to Name It? Chapter 4

Iggy POV

The alarm clock was what woke me up the next day. We had an early morning doctor's appointment and then we were going to go to the grocery store to buy the food for our dinner tomorrow. I kissed the back of Ella's neck to wake her up.

"Wake up, we have to get to the doctor's office."

"I'd rather stay in bed with you all day." She said rolling around to face me.

"So would I, but that's not how the world works."

"Fine. And to think I was having a great dream too."

"What was it about?" I asked.

"Well, it started out as just you and me sitting in the park talking, but then I saw these huge birds flying in the sky. They were so beautiful. Then you picked me up so we could get closer to them, but as I got closer I realized they were bird kids like you and the rest, but the weird thing was I didn't recognize them. I wonder what it means."

"Maybe you were dreaming about the future, and those other bird kids were ours."

"I would like that to be our future."

"Me too." I said kissing her forehead. "I guess we could stay here a little longer." And then she rolled around again so I could put my arms around her waist. I am so happy right now, words can't describe it.

Ella POV

After we cuddled for a little longer we finally decided to get up. We had a quick breakfast of cereal and milk and then we were off. Mom had found a doctor that would be okay with dealing with the Flock's different biology. He did a good job with Max and Fang so we decided to trust him. We walked in and went up to the receptionist's desk.

"Hello, may I help you two?"

"Um, yes. We're the Martinezes we have an appointment for ten o'clock." Yeah, that's right, Iggy took my last name. He said something about it sounding better, but I still think he's still mad at his parents. That's the one thing he hasn't let go of yet.

"Oh, yes, the doctor is running a little late today, so you'll need to wait for a little bit."

"Okay, that's fine. We're in no rush." There were two seats open next to the door and that's where we sat down. Thinking about Iggy's parents reminded me of something.

"Iggy?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to tell your parents about this? You barely told them about the wedding." As soon as I said that Iggy had a pained look on his face. "I'm sorry. That was kinda sudden."

"It's not your fault. I just don't want to get sucked into all that again. I keep thinking if I let them in, that they're going to try to take advantage of me again. And if they did it now it would be especially bad because then you and our child would be involved, and I don't want that."

"I never knew you felt so strongly about this. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better."

"As long as you're here with me, I feel better. I'll call them now."

Iggy POV

I pulled out my cell phone and dialed my parent's number. I only had it for extreme emergencies, or if I had something urgent to tell them. Luckily for me, they weren't home, so I got the answering machine.

"If you're hearing this it means we can't reach the phone at the moment, please leave your message after the beep. BEEP." Pretty standard fare.

"Hey it's Ig-, I mean James. I was just calling to let you know that I'm going to be a father soon. Thought you would like to know. Please don't call back, because I won't answer." I know it's a bit mean, but it's for the well-being of my family.

"That wasn't that bad now, was it?" Ella asked.

"No, but I'm still glad you're here with me." I said. Then I reached over and gave her a hug. We sat there for a while until someone came out of the door next to us.

"Iggy and Ella Martinez?" We both pointed our heads in the direction of the voice. "The doctor will see you now." Did I mention I'm still a bit uncomfortable around doctors?

Ella POV

As we walked down the hall I noticed that Iggy was a bit nervous.

"Don't worry, all these people are perfectly safe. My mother recommended this place, remember?"

"I know, it's just the smell triggers bad memories."

"Well, I'll be right next to you the whole time."

"Thank you." He said pulling me closer.

The doctor had me take a blood and urine test so he could make sure I was actually pregnant. He came back about an hour later with the results.

"Well," He started, "there is no doubt that you are pregnant. Now there are some abnormalities but, they're the same ones I found in your sister, so I think that I can chalk that up to the fact of your husband's bird DNA." Iggy bent down and hugged me again since I was sitting down. "Now I know you probably know all about what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyway. You should under no circumstances start smoking. You shouldn't drink alcoholic beverages, and you need to eat healthily."

"Okay, anything else?" I asked.

"Well, for you two there is one more thing. You need to not be at high altitudes, so no more flying together until the baby is born." I sort of figured that. Darn.

The doctor then gave us some brochures telling us about what was going to happen during the next nine months. I won't gross you out with the details. Then we set up an appointment for next month and then we left for the store. Nothing interesting happen there, except for the fact that we bought two carts full of food since we were going to have to feed eight people, including six bird-kids, and a talking dog who hates dog food. It's going to be just like old times.

A/N- 207 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
