Sylvie was so excited, today was her first OB appointment since being in the hospital, and when she made the appointment she was told she would have an ultrasound because of how far along she was and having no previous prenatal care.

Eva had insisted that she be there to see her little baby brother or sister for the first time. Sylvie was more than okay with it, she wanted the kids to be as involved as they wanted to be and she wanted them to know that her and Antonio were not trying to replace them.

"I bet it's a girl, it better be a girl, I need a little sister to pass all my knowledge on too," Eva said bouncing up and down next to the bed in the exam room. Antonio rolled his eyes, "You'll love it even if it's a boy, you love Diego." He pointed out. "Yeah, you already cursed me with a brother once, you better not do it again, and I do love him but he drives me crazy." She pretended to whine.

Sylvie really loved watching Antonio interact with the kids, he was a natural whether he knew it or not. He was generally patient except in the rare instance when he thought they might be in danger.

It was Friday and it had only been four days since they told their friends about the baby. It felt like a whirlwind, Sylvie had decided to go ahead and make the leap and move in with Antonio, it just felt right. He took really good care of her and she was there all day anyway and she had the kids to keep her company when they got home from school. Antonio, Kelly, and Matt were moving her over the weekend but most of her stuff was going to storage. The apartment was only three bedrooms and was a simple layout with not much in space. They needed a bigger place and she was hoping they would be able to find a townhouse in their price range quickly; they were on a time crunch. They wouldn't be able to close on it before the baby arrived but they could at least be in process so they could move shortly after it was here.

The doctor walked in and shut the door bringing Sylvie out of her thoughts. "Mrs. Brett, I'm doctor Kinney, how are you feeling today?"

"Better than I was, I'm gaining weight and I don't feel as worn down I guess." She was trying to be honest, she had been feeling better.

"I looked over your chart from the hospital and it sounds like you've had a pretty crappy last six months, I'm sorry about that. Have you seen the nutritionist they set you up with?" Sylvie nodded. "Yes, I saw her last week, I'm following her nutrition plan, she said she was going to have it sent over here" the doctor checked the chart and nodded that it was in fact in the file.

"Well, first things first, I am going to need to do a pelvic exam, so if your daughter and husband" he motioned to Eva and Antonio "could step out, we can get started." No one corrected the doctor and as far as Sylvie was concerned Eva was a daughter, it was her child's sister and she didn't see the difference, she was adopted and knew blood didn't always make family.

Antonio squeezed Sylvie's hand "We'll be right outside, will you be okay?" she nodded and he lead Eva out the door.

Several minutes later the doctor opened the door and motioned for Eva and Antonio to come back in. "Who's ready to see a baby?" the doctor excitedly asked the room.

Eva squealed, "I can't wait" she was so excited she could barely contain herself.

The ultrasound tech made her way into the room and set down at the machine. She had Sylvie raise her gown and she put gel on her stomach. The tech grabbed the wand and turned the monitor so that everyone could see. She started pushing and moving the wand around all over and all of a sudden a heartbeat filled the room,

Sylvie couldn't contain her emotions and tears fell down her cheeks. Antonio noticed and he leaned down and kissed her forehead. She was staring up at the monitor trying to make out what she was seeing while the tech took all kinds of measurement and kept listing them off to the doctor.

"Okay measurements are done, who wants to see a good full view of this baby?" and she moved the wand and zoomed out and all of a sudden the full baby came into view.

Eva just stared at the ultrasound in awe; she knew she was in love before it was even born. Tonio squeezed Sylvie's hand a little tighter, she was unaware that this was the first time he was able to see one of his children at their first sonogram. He had always been working before and he was a new cop and couldn't afford to take time off for this stuff.

"So are we finding out the sex or do you already know?" Antonio spoke up, "We don't know yet but we're really anxious to find out" he nodded at Sylvie and she nodded at the tech.

The tech looked over at Eva and asked, "So you want a baby brother or sister? I'm betting a sister right? Girls usually want sisters." Eva was nodding wildly, smiling the biggest smile she's ever done, and in that moment she looked more like she was eight instead of eighteen, and the tech laughed, "Well honey, you got you're wish, congratulations". Eva almost lost her mind, she started crying and Antonio pulled her into a hug and pulled her down to Sylvie who was also crying and they all three just sat there for a moment hugging each other.

The tech left the room and the doctor asked if they could wait a couple minutes while he checked over the ultrasound.

Antonio leaned down and pressed his forehead to hers and whispered so only she could hear, "Thank you, I don't care what we name her as long as she has your eyes, strength, compassion, and bravery, I love you so damn much." Sylvie grabbed his face and pulled him down into a long kiss. Letting go she whispered, "I love you too." Eva was watching them from the chair in the corner; they were completely oblivious to her like they were in their own little world. She admired how in love they were and hoped she found love like that one day.

The doctor came back in with a worried look on her face. "The good news is she is proportional and she doesn't have any deformities, the concerning news is her size. She is measuring at about twenty to twenty-one weeks gestation she should be closer to twenty-five weeks but she has grown. In the hospital almost three weeks ago she was closer to sixteen weeks, so I'm hopeful she will catch up. I know you lost about twenty pounds when you first got pregnant right?" Sylvie nodded; she was scared what this would mean for the baby.

"The morning sickness really reeked havoc on the both of you, that coupled with the anemia and pneumonia set both of you up for failure, frankly, I think it's a miracle that you and that baby survived relatively unscathed, cause you could have very easily lost the baby and died yourself. Never let being sick go on for that long again, you need to make sure you're taking good care of yourself, it looks like you have a family that really loves and needs you."

Sylvie was crying she knew her doctor was right, Sylvie was sitting on the bed her back to Antonio and she could feel him move close and press himself up against her back she leaned into him seeking comfort.

"So what about her size? What if she doesn't catch up?" Antonio was worried and wanted to know what they could do to get her to a healthy weight.

"I'm not going to panic over it yet, Sylvie you need to keep seeing the nutritionist and make sure you are gaining enough weight. Keep taking your pre-natal and nausea meds, I don't want you vomiting at all, if you need a stronger script I can get that for you" Sylvie nodded her head, "I agree with the hospital doctors, bed rest, light, no work, no exercising, just relax and I will see you back every two weeks to check your iron and hemoglobin and for measurements, when we're about 6 weeks out from delivery, if she isn't where I like we will find alternative methods to try and get her there, do you have any other questions?" Sylvie said she didn't have any questions at the moment but would bring some to her next appointment if she thought of any. They thanked the doctor and Sylvie got dressed, so they could go grab some lunch with Gabby and Antonio's mom and share the news.
