Warnings: Tony/OC, fluffy

A/N: Here's is the next update! As you can see from the title we're going to find out what Tony and Leah are having! :)


It was pouring the next afternoon. Leah stood on the curb, outside underneath the entrance to the doctor's office, waiting for Tony to park the car. He had insisted on dropping her off at the door so she wouldn't get wet and wouldn't catch a cold. His fretting over her at times was over the top… but she had to admit it was cute and sweet.

She shoved her hands into the pockets of her trench coat and watched as Tony dashed through the cars to get to shelter. Water dropped from his hair and he grinned at her, sheepishly. "Didn't realize I didn't have an umbrella."

"You know I can still catch a cold from you," Leah teased him as she removed one of her hands from her pocket and reached for his.

"Less of a chance if you stay warm and dry," Tony argued.

"Fine… let's go, Dr. DiNozzo. We don't want to be late."

Tony laughed even as the nervous butterflies of anticipation fluttered in his stomach. If they were fortunate they would be learning what they were having today, whether it was a boy or a girl. It wasn't that he had a preference… what he really wanted was a happy, healthy baby… but the anticipation was slowly eating away at him. For the last twenty-four hours he had been hearing his teammates speculate if they were having a boy or a girl. Ellie insisted that the way Leah carried the baby could determine the gender and Tim had heard theories of what women's cravings meant. Tony believed it all to be a bunch of wives tails. Either way… one of them had to be right. "Everyone at work has guesses to what we're having."

Leah smiled at him. She had heard a bunch of different theories and guesses at the University as well—in fact she was pretty sure there was a pool going on about what the gender of her baby was. "Does it really matter, as long as our baby has ten fingers and ten toes?"

"No… of course it doesn't matter," Tony replied as they entered the doctor's office. "It's fun listening to them argue over it, though."

Leah rolled her eyes and went to check-in with the receptionist. Tony found a seat and a magazine and began to flip through it, looking at the photographs more than reading the articles. As he gazed upon smiling baby after smiling baby, he wondered what his own child was going to look like. He glanced up at his wife when she sat down next to him. Would they have her eyes? Her smile? Would they be a mixture of both of them? He leaned over slightly and kissed her temple.

Tony still marveled at how much of a turn his life had taken in the last year and a half. He was happy, whole again and about to have the family he'd always wanted. And speaking of family… "I told the team we'd stop by after we find out…"

"I'm not surprised that Abby couldn't wait until tomorrow," Leah said, grinning. "But we can't just show up and announce it…"

"What do you mean?"

"We have to make it interesting!"

He shook his head slightly. "We're having a baby… just my becoming a father is interesting in itself for them."

She laughed and kissed him on the cheek, affectionately. "Don't worry. I have an idea on how we can let them know what we're having."

Tony sighed and nodded. "You know," he said with a little grin, "We could just keep this a secret."

"Oh yeah… Abby's going to go along with that."

"Well… she'll just have to deal."

Leah looked at him incredulously as the nurse called for her. She gathered up her purse and headed towards the friendly, plump, middle-aged nurse. Tony followed behind her, her jacket in his arms. The nurse grinned at them. "Hello Mommy and Daddy… ready to learn what you are having today?"

Tony felt his stomach flutter again and anxiously watched as the nurse weighed his wife, while the two women chatted as they walked down the hall to an examination room. He sat quietly and patiently while the nurse checked Leah's vitals and then left her with a hospital gown. He was surprised to see how much Leah's body had changed since she had told him she was pregnant and as she undressed, revealing her ever growing stomach with their baby inside, he grinned a little. She would probably smack him if he told her he thought her belly was cute.

She struggled to get up onto the examination table and he helped her. He put his hand on her stomach for a moment and then with a quick, tender kiss on Leah's lips, he went back to his seat next to her.

"Here are the happy parents to be," a cheerful voice said, entering the room. Dr. Elaine Sheldon smiled, warmly. Her short, blonde hair was pushed behind her ears. She wore a sharp business suit underneath her lab coat and she had been delivering babies since both Tony and Leah were children themselves. "How is everyone feeling?" she asked, closing the door. "Better since the little trip to the ER I hope?"

"Much better," Leah said, rubbing her belly. "I haven't really had that much morning sickness since."

Dr. Sheldon made some notes on Leah's chart. "That's good. How's Daddy doing?"

Tony shot his wife a look. "Daddy is fine… just wish Mommy would take it easier."

"We'll talk about easing her work schedule when we get closer to her due date. For now, the baby and mommy are healthy."

"I told you there was nothing to worry about."

"There is plenty to worry about, Leah."

Dr. Sheldon chuckled. "Shall we see if your baby is willing to let us see what it is?" She prepared the ultrasound equipment. In a few minutes she had the image of the infant on the computer screen, moving the scanner around Leah's stomach. "You're in luck. Seems like the baby wants to cooperate today."

Leah glanced at Tony, anxiously. "Do you want to find out?" she asked, softly. He grabbed her hand and smiled. She looked at the OBGYN and nodded. "We'd like to know."

"I hope you both like blue," Dr. Sheldon said, turning the computer around to reveal the image that clearly showed the couple what gender their baby was, "because you're going to be buying and receiving a lot of blue things—you're having a boy."

"We're having a boy," Leah said, grinning at Tony, happy tears in her eyes. "Are you happy?"

Tony laughed at her, lightly and he leaned forward to kiss her. "Yes!" he said, wiping at her tears. "I'm going to have a son!" And I'm going to treat him right, be a good father to him. He heard the doctor say something about going to print the sonograms for them and that she would be back, but he didn't care. He was going to have a boy—a son—that he could teach about football and basketball and take fishing. He kissed Leah again, grateful for this woman who was giving him this wonderful gift. "Tim is going to be surprised… he told Ellie it was a girl."

Leah giggled and looked down at her tummy. "Hello little boy," she talked to the baby, "I can't wait to meet you!" When she looked up at Tony, smiling, he thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. She kissed her husband, sweetly. "Actually, both Mommy and Daddy can't wait to meet you!"
