I was sitting on the chair in front of doctor's office biting my nails from nervousness. "Miss Fornell." the nurse called and I stood up. "Good afternoon." I said and she smiled. "Follow me, please." she said and I followed her into the office. "Good afternoon." I greeted the doctor who has just looked up from his laptop. "Good afternoon Ms Fornell." he said and stood up. "Will we find out the gender today?" he asked and I giggled. "Hopefully." I said and he smiled.
"So, would you like to know the sex?" doctor asked and I smiled nervously. "Yes, please." I said and he smiled. "Okay. Show us who you are baby." he mumbled while looking at the screen. He hummed something, but smiled when it seemed that he had found out the gender. "Sure?" he asked after looking at me. "Yes." I said and he turned the screen so that I could see it. "So, here is the head." he said and pointed on a little circle. I smiled and tried to keep the tears away. "So, it seems to be a healthy...."

The 13th week
"Emma?" I heard Marco calling after the door were closed. I had choked the piece of salad I was eating before standing up and hurrying to the hall. "Marcooo!" I yelled happily and ran to him. "Hey, hey! Slow down!" he said with a giggle and I wrapped my arms around him. "I love you." I mumbled and he pulled away. "I missed you so much." he said and pecked my lips. "And my baby of course." he said and kissed my belly. "Somebody is bigger." he said and I pouted. I truly am bigger. And so are my breasts. But I don't care. Being big also means that my baby is healthy and so I take all of the weight with smile on my lips. "So, what about the appointment?" Marco asked and I bit my lip. "Don't you wanna eat first?" I asked and he rolled his eyes. "No. I wanna know who is here." he said and rubbed my belly. "Then go and have a look." I said and pointed on the guest room , which will be nursery, next to the other guest room.
"Come with me." he said and took my hand in his. He had opened the door a little, but then turned around to look at me. "What shall I expect there?" he asked and I giggled. "There's the crib with something in it." I said shyly and he kissed my cheek. "Wait." I said and stood up behind him to cover his eyes. "Go." I said and he giggled. I led him in front of the crib while biting my lip. I hope he will be happy. "Open." I instructed after putting my hands away. He looked at the duvet in the crib and smiled happily. "Girl?" he asked and I nodded. There's a pink baby duvet with flowers and bears all around it. "Baby girl." he repeated and knelt down. "I hope you understand the fact that you will not start dating before reaching 30 years old." he said and kissed the belly. I couldn't help, but let the tears roll down my cheeks. Marco stood up and cupped my cheeks. "We will have a little princess." he said and I nodded. He kissed me passionately and giggled after pulling away. "I hope you don't mind it won't be a football player." I said and he furrowed his eyebrows. "Why not? Girls can play too." he said and I laughed. "I love you Em." he said and pecked my lips. "Thank you. So much." he said and I sobbed. "Yeah, it was quite difficult keeping the gender hidden while your and my parents are desperate to know." I joked and he giggled. "We should tell them, right?" he asked and I shrugged. "Not today. I wanna spend the day with you." I said and pecked his lips. "I love you." I said and he smiled. "I love you too. But let's not keep it from them any longer." he said and I shrugged. Baby girl.
.....
We've already Skyped with my parents to tell them that I'm carrying a baby girl. And what to say...they were excited. Mom was crying and dad was smiling from ear to ear. Hopefully, Marco's parents will be as excited as mine. "Marco? Emma?" Manuela opened the door and hugged me first. "Hello." I greeted her and pulled away. "What about me?" Marco asked and hugged her. "Well, Emma is more important now, sorry." she giggled and Marco smiled. "She's the most important one." he said and brought me closer. "Come in!" Manuela said and we followed her.
"Good afternoon!" I greeted Thomas and he looked away from the TV screen. "Hi Emma!" he said and stood up to hug me. "How is my chrandchild?" he asked and hugged me carefully. It's funny to see men hugging me carefully because they're absolutely aware that there's a little baby inside of me. "Baby is fine." I answered avoiding calling the baby she. "Actually, we came to let you know something amazing." Marco said and sat down. I took a step back and landed on his lap. This position is comfortable. At least for today. "The gender?" Manuela asked in awe and sat down next to Thomas on the opposite sofa. Marco kissed my cheek and I took a photo out of my pocket. It's a sonogram of our little girl. "Tell them." Marco said and I smiled. I looked at him and shook my head lightly. "Actually, I wanna see you announcing it." I mumbled and he smiled. "Well, mom, dad." Marco said to get their attention what was absolutely useless because they had their eyes only on us. "I am proudly announcing that my beautiful Emma is carrying a little princess." he said and I smiled. His eyes were sparkly while saying it what made my heart melt. "A girl?" Manuela asked and stood up immediately. "A little girl!" she confirmed before I got to answer her question. "Oh God!" she said and hugged me tightly. "Careful, careful!" Marco exclaimed from behind and so she pulled away. "Sorry." she said and I chuckled. "We will have a girl in our family." Thomas said and hugged me too. "But it doesn't mean she won't play football." Marco said from behind and I sent him a death glare. "Okay." he said and threw his hands in the air. "This one is for you." I had said and gave Manuela the sonogram before sitting on Marco's lap again.
"She is so beautiful!" she exclaimed with tears in her eyes and Thomas stood up behind her to see the pic too. "She's so little." he said and I looked at Marco. "I love you." he whispered while his parents kept blabbing about how beautiful she is even though they can't see her face. They can't see anything. Just how tiny figure she has. "Me too." I said and buried my face into the crock of his neck. "My girls." he whispered and started rubbing my belly. I can't help, but smile.
So, the choosing between 1 and 2 was actually about choosing the baby sex! You chose a girl :-)
