It’s a…

Kass sighed and glanced at Jen then at the clock.

“Maybe we should just reschedule?” she asked softly.

Jen patted her hand lightly.

“I’m sure his meeting with the Colonel will wrap up soon.”

Kass rolled her eyes.

“Didn’t you say that an hour ago?”

Before Jen could answer there was a chuckle from the doorway.

“Anyone ever tell you that patience is a virtue, honey?” Evan teased, with a grin.

Kass rolled her eyes at him.

“Yeah well, you were supposed to be here an hour ago, Evan!” Kass huffed, settling back on the exam table.

“Sorry, Kass.” Evan whispered pressing a soft kiss to her forehead.

Jen smiled as she watched them.

“If you two are done making goo-goo eyes at each other, we can start now.” she teased, with a chuckle.

Kass sucked in a breath as Jen started the procedure that had now become routine.

“Everything looks good, now have you two decided if you want to know the gender?” Jen asked, looking at them.

Kass licked her lips and looked at Evan.

“It was your idea so YOU can ask her.” she said with a laugh.

Evan cleared his throat and looked at Jen.

“Well, uh, we do want to know BUT we don’t want you to tell us.” he said with a grin.

Jen frowned looking at him.

“I’m not really quite sure how that works.” she said chuckling.

“Well we were thinking you could write it down…and put it in an envelope.” Evan shrugged as he looked at her.

Jen laughed and shrugged.

“I guess I could do that.”

Turning back to the screen she studied it for a few minutes before typing out a word and printing off the image. She slid it into an envelope as Evan helped Kass up.

“Okay, so I’ll see you guys in two weeks for a regular check up?” she asked, handing Kass the envelope.

Kass nodded as she grinned at Jen.

“Yeah, two weeks and then another two weeks after that.” she said as Evan placed a light hand on her back, guiding her from the infirmary to the nearest balcony.

“So…do we open it now or do we wait?” he asked with a grin, taking a seat on the bench.

“Of course we open it now.” Kass said with a laugh, sitting next to him.

Kass carefully extracted the picture from the envelope, studying it, reading the single word typed in the corner before grinning at Evan.

“Well that’s great.” she said with a smile.
Evan wrapped an arm around her, hand resting lightly on her belly.

“Yup, it’s perfect. Just what I’ve always wanted.” he said, pressing a kiss to her temple.

“So….now we just have to figure out a name.” Kass said with a content sigh settling back into his arms.
