RP: April and Eliot
Who:April and Eliot
Where: Their room
When: 25 September, evening
Summary: April has something to find out...
While April had mostly enjoyed their vacation, she had been anxious to get home. Since getting it at the ranch, the ultrasound machine had rarely left her side, and now especially she missed having it. A week ago, some sites said that the fetus was big enough that you were supposed to see the sex, at least with a new machine, but when April had tried she hadn't been able to see it at all. She had been itching to try again, but as the ultrasound machine wasn't at the school yesterday she had to wait until today to try. She hoped the added week would make a difference, even if she knew the result would be uncertain for a few more weeks.
She’d said nothing to Eliot, or anyone, about it. She didn’t want to get questions and she didn’t want to get Eliot’s hopes up in case she couldn't make it out. In a way she was almost surprised she’d managed with the others. She wasn’t trained at this, and experts with years of training still found it hard at times, but she’d been lucky – and luck seemed to be on her side today too.
Having had plenty of time to think about how to do this while they were away, she’d already been down to the kitchen and borrowed the label maker. One small label, just a few letters long, placed on her stomach while Eliot was in the shower. When he came back to their room, she was waiting for him on their bed, dressed in nothing but one of his big shirts. She said nothing, just smiled and reached out for him to come to her, letting him find the news all on their own.
They were having a girl.
