I woke up and noticed Brandon wasn't in the room, I looked at my growing belly and smiled happily. "Hey Blue..." I smiled. I knew Brandon would never approve of such a name for our daughter so I named her on my own terms and I knew she would love it. This month was going to be hectic because everyday I would wake up and think "Today I'll lose my baby." But I thank god everyday, that day never came in this passing month as I reached 4 months..
Someone knocked on the door and I told them to come in, It was Teresa. "Happy 4 months!" I smiled and laughed. Her and the guys had made it a tradition, that every passing month of my pregnancy, they would bring me a cupcake with the number of months I was and although it made me very uncomfortable because I could lose this baby, I was happy because I knew this was a real thing and my continuous dreams made me believe that this was going to be real.
Brandon came in. "Brandon, you know I don't wanna get my hopes up with this pregnancy.." I told him. "Can you just get into your stubborn head that everything is going to be okay this time?" He sat on the bed with me. "Now it's me who doesn't have faith in this.." I whispered, he kissed my lips. "That's okay, I have enough for the both of us." He smiled and I blushed. "So.... Uhm-- I was wondering if it's too soon to start baby shopping?" I giggled at him as we both sat on the bed.
"We're gonna find out the sex of the baby soon so until then... No baby shopping.. I know once we know the sex of the baby, I'll be okay. I'll be okay with that fact that everything is gonna be okay." He kissed my lips and he fell on me. I giggled and we both laughed loudly. "Okay! Okay!" I looked deeply into his eyes that made my heart flip. "I love you." I said. "I love you more.." I shook my head. "Not possible.. Not possible." I kissed him deeply again.

"Happy 5 months!" The boys came in a month later when I woke up. I smiled and ate the cupcake.
--------------
"Happy 6 months!" I ate the cupcake.
It was a very special month for me and Brandon because Dr. Chapman was coming by every week and mostly everyday to check in on me.. But it was very special because during our appointment, because it was the first time we heard our baby kick.. "Oh my god! Feel..." I pressed Brandon's hand to my stomach and she kicked and kicked. He smiled widely and I started crying. "It feels so weird but it's so beautiful." I cried. Brandon kissed my temple.
Dr. Chapman turned to us. "6 months is usually the time in the pregnancy where you start to hear the baby kick and make movements.. It's quite extraordinary." I smiled at the Doctor. "Thanks for coming, thank you so much.."
---------------
"Happy 7 months!" I ate the cupcake and spent that month mostly in bed and eating fruits and salads. Blue seemed to like salads, she would kick frantically for more and although she hurt me sometimes, it was that hurt that made your whole life better because you knew everything was gonna be okay.
--------------
"Happy 8 months!" I was now the size of Pluto. I was going to the doctors today, I could barely walk so Brandon helped me downstairs and into the car. I smiled and he looked at my belly. "One more month... One more month and she's ours." Brandon smiled at me. I moved my hand over my belly and felt her kick so much. "She already is ours." I laughed at him. "We keep saying she.." I said. "I knows she's a girl, I know it." He told me. "Me too.."
We got to the doctors office and the nurse put the jelly on my stomach, she rubbed it all over my belly and the doctor came in. The nurse left and I looked at the monitor. I saw the baby... It looked completely developed and she moved a lot and the doctor moved the stick on my belly. "The sex?" Brandon nodded. "Yeah," Dr. Chapman moved the stick. "It's a girl.. You're both having a perfect baby girl." Brandon kissed me and I looked at the monitor. "Blue," I whispered to myself. Brandon looked at me. "A girl.. A girl!" He exclaimed happily.
He moved the stick around the jelly on my belly. He clicked the button on the stick and I heard her heartbeat.. The tears welled up in my eyes. Brandon wiped his eyes as she heard that beautiful music.
After our appointment. Brandon helped me in the car and we drove home. "We can't tell the guys! I want you to wait for her to be born.. That way, you can run out to waiting room and say "ITS A GIRL!" We laughed. "Fine... We won't say nothing." He told me, turning the corner. "So thinking about any names?" He asked me. I shook my head, lying to him. I knew what I was gonna name this perfect human being. Blue.
