Dimitri
Gabrielle clasped her hands together on her lap as she sat with her husband, her feet bouncing up and down as those large chocolate orbs scanned the area. It was an examination room, another sonogram to see how the baby was doing inside. But this wasn’t just a check up! No, this was more. This time, when she got that cold gel put on her stomach, she would not only see a picture of their baby up there on the screen, but she was going to learn it’s gender for the first time. It was very exciting, and Gab really couldn’t sit still. And she couldn’t stop smiling like an idiot either. She had a feeling that her husband had noticed her constant fidgeting, but she was trying to be stealthy about it. It just wasn’t working very well.

“Where is the doctor?”

She leaned forward, her expanded stomach causing her to not go very far as she tried to see down the hallway. When she didn’t see anyone, she sighed lightly and leaned back in her seat looking up at Dimitri with a large smile, her feet still bouncing. “I’m so anxious.” Like she really needed to spell that out for him. “It’s just…this is it! This is when we find out whether we’re going to have a son or a daughter, you know? Or…or do you want to wait? Like, have it be a surprise? Because some people do that, and that’s one way to go with it, but I figured that if we know now we can start thinking of names earlier, right? Like, we can go through boy names or girl names, and decide on what we like, and then we can decorate the nursery, and figure out if we need to paint it blue or pink, and I really don’t normally ramble on like this.” She gave a sheepish grin when she realized that she had been talking non-stop for quite some time.

Gab jumped a bit when her husband rose to his feet, and raised a hand to cover her mouth as she laughed at how excited he was. Even the Sonogram Technician was smiling as she moved the little device (Gab never knew what to call that thing, and she was always way too excited to think about asking) over her belly, trying to give them a better look at the baby. She reached down for Dimitri’s hand again, as she looked at the new, clearer image of the little boy, and felt tears begin to form at the corners of her eyes. “That’s our son…” she said, her mouth pulled into a grin as the electronic photograph, her other hand reaching out to let her fingers press against the glass.

“He’s doing very well. He has a nice, strong heartbeat. And he’s growing at a good rate. From what I can see, you’re going to have a very healthy baby.”

“He’s perfect.” Gabrielle murmured, still holding onto her husband’s hand, not wanting to look away from her baby. She hated not being able to hold him in her arms yet, so being able to just see him was fantastic.

Eventually, Susan turned off the machine and wiped off her belly, and both Susan and Dimitri helped her sit up on the table, allowing her to adjust her blouse before she went to place both of her hands on her stomach. “We’re having a son.” She stated, not because she thought he forgot, but because it was just so fantastic to say.
