Niall Horan Pregnancy Series

Finding Out the Gender

The following afternoon you and Niall headed into London to the hospital for your ultrasound appointment.

As you sat in the passenger seat you couldn't sit still. You were so anxious to finally find out what genders the babies were going to be.

"Baby, calm down." Niall said as he reached over and put his hand on your knee to keep it from bouncing.

"I'm sorry...I just can't help it! I'm dying to know if the babies are girls or boys." You said as you looked over at him.

"What do you want the babies to be?" You asked him.

"What do you mean?" He asked as he glanced over at you before turning his attention back to the road.

"Do you want girls or boys or one of each?" You asked.

"Umm...I don't know...I guess I kind of want boys or maybe one of each. I don't know what to do with girls. Lux was never super close to me. She always liked Louis and Haz more than she did me. And I have so much fun with Theo, it'd be cool to have a son." He said. "What about you? What are you hoping for?"

"Pretty much the opposite. I want girls or one of each. I like the idea of having one of each because than we'll get to see what it's like to raise a girl and a boy. Or two girls. I would love to have at least one daughter, but two would be great too." You said.

"So no boys then?" He asked.

"I don't know, I mean it's not like I'm going to hate them if we have boys. I just don't know if I can handle having three Horan men in the house with me." You said jokingly. "I sometimes struggle just living with one." You said jokingly as you looked over at him.

"You love me and you know it." Niall said.

"I do love you!" You said.

Niall pulled into the hospital parking lot about ten minutes later. You got out of the Range Rover and walked into the hospital hand in hand with Niall. The two of you then made your way to the radiology department.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The woman at the window asked.

"I have an appointment for an ultrasound." You said.

"Okay, can I get your name?" She asked.

"Y/n Horan." You said.

She took a few seconds to look at her computer before smiling up at you.

"It looks like I have you scheduled for a 21 week prenatal ultrasound. Is that correct?" She asked.

"Yes it is." You said as you smiled at her.

"Alright, I will get you checked in and someone will come get you when we're ready for you." She said.

"Great, thank you." You said.

You and Niall took a seat in two of the chairs in the small waiting area. You sat patiently as you waited to get called back.

"How much longer?" Niall asked as he got impatient.

You glanced up at the clock on the wall and realized you had only been here ten minutes.

"We've only been here ten minutes, babe, relax." You said.

"I can't relax. I'm so nervous." He said.

"What are you nervous about?" You asked.

"Well all we've been thinking about is whether they're going to be girls or boys...what if There's something wrong with them?" He asked.

Your eyes drifted from his beautiful blue eyes to the floor. You hadn't really thought about it. Like Niall said, you had been so focused on the gender that you forgot to take a step back and think about what's really important: having two healthy babies.
