Casey laid on the exam table in her doctor's office, watching the monitor with interest as the doctor slid the ultrasound thing across her barely there baby bump. Of course, she was nervous about being seven months pregnant and not having much of a bump, but the doctor assured her that not everybody gets a big bump and that the baby was healthy. Today she would find out the sex of the baby, with Wade as her support this time since he had the time off and Dean had to work. The one appointment he was looking forward to most, and he was stuck in Mexico. That kind of upset her, but there was nothing she could do.
"Casey, are you even listening?" Wade asked quietly and Casey looked back at him.
"I was thinking about Dean."
"Focus on now and how happy he'll be when you call him later." Casey only nodded and Wade smiled.
"So, Casey, would you like to find out the sex now, or be surprised?" The doctor asked and Casey bit her lip.
"What do you think?" She asked Wade, who started to stroke his beard.
"Dean would want to know now, Brad hates shopping for babies gender neutral, Ted doesn't like surprises, and I want to know now." Wade reasoned and Casey nodded in acknowledgement, knowing that what Wade said was very true. Brad had a tantrum when they went shopping for a baby shower together and nobody told them what the sex was.
"Well, then I'd like to know now."
"Alrighty. Let's take a look." Casey and Wade watched the screen intently as the image shifted and the doctor smiled. "You, Miss Casey, are having a boy and he's healthy as can be."
"Dean is going to be so happy. Like, he would've been happy if we were having a girl, too, but he really wanted our first child to be a boy so he got his junior in case I didn't feel up to having a second after having the first." Casey rambled as Wade drove her home and the Brit smiled down at the brunette in the passenger's seat. She was so happy to be having a baby with the man she fell in love with. It was all she ever wanted to do, and she was finally getting it.
"Well, love, I can't say that I'm not happy for you."
"Uncle Wade."
"I like the sound of that." He mumbled as he parked and she unbuckled. "I'll be in touch, love."
"For sure." Casey called as she exited the car.
'Call me when you have a moment. I've got news.'
For Dean, that text could go either way. It could be positive or negative. But if it were negative news, he would've been called right away. At least, he liked to think that Casey would at least try to call even if she wasn't sure how busy he was. He had a free ten minutes so he stepped out onto the loading bay and called her.
"Hey, kitten."
"Hey, bunny. Guess what!?"
"You don't crave weird things at four in the morning anymore?" He joked and she giggled. Six more hours and he'd be home with her, listening to that magical laugh that made his heart melt.
"You wish. I was going to try to keep it in until you got home, but we're having a boy!"
"Holy shit, no way!"
"Way! I have the ultrasound picture and everything!" He loved how excited she sounded to be having a child with him.
"Text it to me! I wanna see." He practically begged, but who could blame him? He was excited.
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you, too." She hung up and he grinned ear to ear when the message came in. His baby. His legacy. His son. Jonathan Michael Good Junior in all his glory. Now he just had to tell the world.
He was having a son.
