Never Too Far (Rosemary Beach #2)(59)

Blaire lay down on a table and they began prepping her as I sat patiently waiting. Once they had her stomach bare the nurse put some clear gel on her stomach then looked back at me. "Are you two wanting to know the sex of the baby?"

"Ask the momma," I replied, annoyed that she'd asked me instead of Blaire.

"I'd like to know," Blaire said, glancing back at me for reassurance.

"Me too," I agreed.

Then the doctor began moving something over Blaire's stomach and a small beating noise filled the air. It was faster than normal. "Is that my baby's heartbeat?" I asked standing up because sitting was no longer possible. My heart was beating as fast as the one I heard on the screen.

"Yes it is," the doctor replied. "And there... and there he is," he said.

I stared at the screen as a small little life began to take shape.

"He?" Blaire asked.

"Yes, it's most definitely a boy," the doctor replied.

I reached out and grabbed Blaire's hand, unable to take my eyes off the screen. That was our baby. I was gonna have a son. Fuck... I was also gonna cry.

The End
