After they ate they went to bed with Ashley lying on Spencer’s chest with her hand on her stomach.  Spencer just smiled at Ashley’s affections.  If she’s like this now… how’s she gonna be when the baby’s born?  Spencer sighed and entwined their fingers on her stomach, falling asleep with thoughts of her family running through her head.

4 months later

“Spence!!  We gotta go! Your appointments in like 30 minutes, and you know how traffic is.”

“I’m coming Ash!! Just give me a minute!”  Spencer yelled back down the stairs, as she hurried to finish getting dressed.

“I’m sorry, but I’m excited!  We can find the baby’s sex out today.”  Ashley’s voice was now softer as she watched her wife walking around the room searching for her shirt from the doorway.  Spencer turned a little surprised, and then continued her search.

“I know… I know… but give me a break; you know I don’t feel good.”  Ashley walked towards her wife with a look of care and concern on her face.

“You’re still not feeling better?”

“No… why do they call it morning sickness if it lasts all day and night?  They should call it Constant Nausea with Impulsive Projectile Vomiting!”

“With a side of irritability.”  Ashley mumbled.

“I heard that…”  Spencer glared at Ashley, who was hiding her giggles behind her hand as best she could.  Spencer wasn’t fooled and crossed the room into the closet to grab a different shirt.  When she exited the closet, she brushed past Ashley and down the stairs.  The brunette rolled her eyes and smiled as she followed her out of the house. 

As Spencer was lying on the examination table with her legs in the stirrups, she couldn’t help but get nervous.  She was holding onto Ashley’s hand as the brown eyes wandered around the room, exploring the same posters that she’s seen at every appointment.

“Ash… I have something I want to talk to you about.”

“What’s wrong babe?  Are you nervous about finding out what we’re having?”  Ashley’s eyes landed on bright blue.  She stroked Spencer’s face with her free hand.

“Sorta, I mean… I know how excited you are…”  Ashley nodded her head vigorously, huge grin spread over her face.  “But I wanted to ask you if maybe we could…”  Spencer trailed off seeing the confusion spread across Ashley’s face.
