Three months had passed. Juliette was now five months pregnant and showing. Today was an exciting day. Today she and Rick found out the sex of the baby. They were in the waiting room doctor's office.
"Are you excited?" Rick asked.
"Yeah." "Are you?"
"Yeah I'll finally know what color to paint the nursery."
A nurse came out.
"Juliette Porter." The nurse said.
They went to the back. The doctor hooked her to the machine.
"Any more problems with the morning sickness?" The doctor asked.
"No." "I throw up occasionally but that's all."
"That's good." "Congratulations to you both, it's a girl."
"A girl?" Juliette said happily.
"Yes."
"Rick this is wonderful."
"It sure is." He said. "Now I have two girls to spoil."
The next morning Juliette was packing for a three day business trip to New York City. She was in the bedroom zipping up the suitcase. She was about to lift it off the bed when Rick came in the room.
"Juliette what are you doing?" He asked.
"Taking my suitcase downstairs."
"No you're not."
"Why not?"
"It's to heavy." "I'll do it."
"It's not that heavy."
"Not that heavy is he heavy enough." "Do you really have to go on this trip now?"
"It's only for three days."
"Yeah but you're pregnant."
"Rick I'll be fine don't worry."
"Last time you that to me you ended up in the hospital."
"Hey we found out some great news that day."
"Yes we did."
"Your daddy worries to much." Juliette said rubbing and looking down at her stomach.
"No." Rick said putting his hands overtop Juliette's and looked at her stomach. "Daddy just loves you and mommy so much and doesn't want anything happening to you."
"Nothing will." "Now come on I gotta go."
Juliette got to New York City at around noon. After a day of long interviews she was finally relaxing in her hotel room. She was changing standing in front of a full-length mirror in her bra and panties. She rubbed her stomach.
"Hi in there." She said. "You know when mommy first found out about you I was scared." "Now there's nothing I want more then to hold you in my arms." "I hope you are Rick's." "If you're not I'm afraid you'll never know your real daddy and I'm sorry for that." "Rick will be a great daddy to you I promise." "I don't care what John says." "You're not a mistake and you're not nothing." "You're everything and I love you."
The next day Juliette decided to go up to her room and take a nap before her next round of interviews. She got on the elevator. She was holding a folder. She dropped it. A few papers spilled out from it.
"Shit." She said. She bent down to pick them up. It was a little difficult with her stomach. She saw a pair of arms come into her vision to be help her. The paper were all gathered and back in the folder. "Thank you." She said and she was standing up.
"You're welcome."
"John." She said shocked to see him. He didn't say anything but looked shocked to see her to.
"Whoa." She said putting her hand over her stomach. John still don't say anything but looked at her concerned. "The baby kicked." "Wanna feel?" Without waiting for a response she took his hand and put it overtop of hers. The baby kicked again. "She's never done that." The elevator dinged for John to get off on his floor. "We really need to talk." He ignored her. The doors opened. He went to step out. She grabbed his arm. "The baby might be yours." She blurted out.
"What?" He said shocked.
