Pulling my face o
ut from his neck, I suck in a breath and look at him. His eyes are full of worry as he watches me intently. I shrug slowly. “Sorry.”
He waves me off. “It’s cool. I’ve always got you, remember?”
My lip quivers as I smile shyly. “I freaked out.”
“I know. It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Stop apologizing. You gotta remember who is in control—you are. Don’t let those fucked-up thoughts mess you up. Just remember I love you and I’ve got you. Together, remember? We can do anything together.”
“You’re right,” I say, pulling in another big breath. “It’s so hard sometimes.”
“I know. That’s why I’m here. To remind you.”
As my heart explodes in my chest, I lean into him, kissing the bridge of his nose. “Thank you.”
He grins, kissing my top lip as the door opens and Marilu comes in, holding a cup of water. She hands it to me, and I smile as I take a long pull of it, the coolness calming me down more. I give the cup back to her and she smiles. “Better?”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Can we continue, or do you need more time?”
I shake my head. “No, we can continue. I’m so sorry.”
She waves me off as Jace pins me with a look. “Stop apologizing.”
I smile and she grins back as she sits down, putting more goo on my belly. When the probe hits my belly, it doesn’t take long until the facial features of our baby are on the screen.
“Aw, it has your nose,” I gush as Jace kisses the back of my hand. “My chin.”
“And cheeks,” he adds and I smile.
“It’s beautiful.”
“It is.”
“Okay, let’s find out what this little bit is. It’s got big shoulders, from Daddy obviously.”
Jace grins at that and I smile as she moves the probe over and then turns it each way until a wide grin comes over her face. “See it?”
I don’t. I don’t see anything. Looking back at Jace, his face is twisted in confusion as he shakes his head. “I don’t see anything.”
“Because it’s a girl.”
Gasping, I look back at Jace as he looks at me and then we are both grinning.
A girl.
Our girl.
A girl.
Holy shit, it’s a girl.
I’d better get a gun.
