“Dr. McGowan, I hear congratulations are in order.” Dr. Frazier grinned at me as she entered the examination room.

I beamed back at her. “For the baby or the engagement?” I was standing to the left of Juliette, holing her hand, so I lifted it to show off the ring.

Dr. Frazier laughed and patted my arm as she maneuvered around the equipment and stopped at Juliette’s other side. “Both. Though, I wasn’t actually aware of the engagement.”

Holding out a hand, Dr. Frazier warmly introduced herself to Juliette. “I hear you’re about four months, Ms. Moureaux?”

“Yes. We’re positive about the conception date.” Juliette blushed and I chuckled, earning myself a cute little frown. “You can call me Juliette,” she added.

Dr. Frazier nodded with a smile. “Okay, shall we see if this little one wants to cooperate today?” She pulled up Juliette’s shirt to just under her breasts, exposing her baby bump. After putting some gel on there, she started moving a transducer probe around and a swishing sound emanated from the machine. Then, there was a pulsing, a heartbeat, and my knees weakened a bit.

I stared at the screen and watched the little person inside my girl. I was filled with a million different emotions but when Juliette’s hand tightened around mine, I swung my gaze to face her liquid purple eyes. Lowing my head, I kissed her lips gently, infusing the gesture with love and gratitude. She was my dream come true, and it was almost surreal at that moment to know she and the baby were mine.

“Do you want to know the gender?”
