"I don't know, Should I be?" She said shyly as she toyed with her fingers.
"There's nothing to be worried about babe. I'm sure this evening will be one of the best moments of my parents' life."
"You're carrying their grandchild which is one of the best surprises you can ever give them. Just be prepared because they are going to be all over you, fussing about peanut."
Lauren smiled and lovingly caressed her belly with her right hand.
Everyone who knew Lauren knew she had a perfectly flat stomach but she started noticing a bulge two days after her first Doctor's appointment.
She was beyond excited and had called Stanley to come see it. The duo were happy, knowing their baby was healthy and growing well.&nbs

A healthy baby is all that matters and what they pray for."Your palms are sweaty, " Lauren said to Stanley. They were both seated on one of the double couches in the reception and they had their hands intertwined.Stan chuckled, "I can't help it.""It's fine if you don't want us to know the gender today. We can wait until the baby is born." Lauren proposed.Stanley gave Lauren's hand a light squeeze. "There's no need for that.

He seemed to have noticed his Mom and Dad were having a small fight so he kept moving and kicking every few minutes, making it hard for Lauren to fall asleep.She placed her left hand on her belly, exactly where peanut's kicks were coming from."Sweetheart, Mommy has to sleep. Can you please be nice? I already feel guilty about what I did and the last thing I need is for you to keep kicking me, making me feel even more guilty."

He shook her lightly."Babe?!" He called, before placing a kiss on the crown of her head.She tiredly opened her eyes.

Lauren groaned.He hooked her drop chain and gently twirled her around.
