Chapter 3 The baby is a…
While Sylvia was still pregnant she and Goofy thought it would be a good idea to start getting things together for the baby. Goofy learned how to knit and began knitting little baby booties in mint green and yellow since he and Sylvia weren't sure of the gender of their baby. Max saw what his father was going and asked his father, "Dad how many things have you knitted?" "I'm not sure. I started making baby booties, then a baby sweater, little hats and a little yarn teddy bear. I even made scarves for you and Sylvia when winter comes" Goofy answered as he showed Max what he made. "Well dad I got to hand it to you all of those knitting lessons you took paid off" Max pointed out as he look at all of the things his father made. "Hi Max how are you?" Sylvia said as she greeted Max when she walked into the living room. "I'm fine Sylvia. How are you and my soon to be little brother or sister?" Max replied. "I'm doing well. I have a doctor's appointment later today. Would you like to come with me and your father? Since I'm 20 weeks pregnant we'll be able to find out if the baby is a girl or a boy that way you'll know if you're going to have a baby brother or sister" said Sylvia. "I guess so but at the same time I kind of want to be surprised about the gender of my new sibling. Dad told me that he and my mom didn't know I was a boy until I was born" Max said. "You know your father told me the same thing the other day and I think it was nice that your dad and mom waited until you were born to know that you were a boy" exclaimed Sylvia. "Shall we get going? We don't want to be late. After your appointment I may need to buy more yarn. I ran out while making more stuff for the baby" said Goofy.
"Sure let me just use the bathroom. Our baby likes to sit on my bladder as if it was a bean bag chair" Sylvia pointed out as she headed to the bathroom. After that everyone got into the car and drove to the doctor's office. Sylvia got herself ready to be examined as the doctor came in. "Hello everyone how is the family today?" said the doctor as he came in and greeted everyone. "We're doing just fine" answered Goofy. The doctor gave Sylvia a check up to make sure she was healthy. Then it was time for the ultrasound. Sylvia started to shiver when the doctor put the cold gel on her stomach. "I don't think I'll ever get used to this gel. It feels like ice!" stated Sylvia. "I know but it's needed for the ultrasound when I put the pump on your stomach" said the doctor when he turned on the monitor. Sylvia, Goofy and Max saw how the baby was moving around and listened to its heartbeats. "Oh wow so that's my baby sibling in there" Max said. "That's right and I must say I don't get too many older siblings with their parents. I think it's great that you're here for you mom and dad" The doctor said who didn't know that Sylvia is really his stepmom. "Thanks now if you please excuse me I really need to use the bathroom since I drank a whole bottle of soda on the way here" said Max as he left the Doctor's office to go to the bathroom. "You know it's very clear to see if your baby is going to be a boy or a girl. Would you like to know the sex of your child?" The doctor asked. "Sure I guess" answered Sylvia. While the doctor was checking the monitor to find out the gender of Sylvia and Goofy's unborn child Goofy and Sylvia both thought the same thing and when the doctor was done checking to see what the gender was he asked, "I got a clear picture of what the sex of your baby is going to be. Would you like to know?" "At first we wanted to know but now we changed our minds" said Sylvia. "We want it to be a surprise" Goofy pointed out.
"Very well then I'll keep the gender of your baby in this file. If you or Mrs. Goof change your mind please give me a call" the doctor said as he put away Sylvia's file. Sylvia got dressed and was ready to go home. "So dad did you and Sylvia find out the sex of the baby?" Max asked. "We decided to keep it a surprise just like before you were born" answered Goofy. Max wasn't too surprise at his dad's answer and on the way home as promised Goofy stopped by the craft store and picked up some more colorful yarn because he wanted to make a baby blanket.
Author's Note: I bet most of you are wondering did Princesspeach102 forget to put the gender of Goofy and Sylvia's unborn child? Well I didn't because I want it to be a surprise when I eventually get up to the chapter of the baby's birth. Plus I'm still unsure if the baby should be a boy or a girl. What do you think? I'm also welcoming any ideas for baby names if any of you have any. Please stay tune for my next update. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
