"And that right there is your baby." The nurse pointed to a tiny little spot on the sonogram machine. Bethany gave Sebastian's hand a squeeze. "Would you like copies of the sonograms?"
"Yes, please."
"Alright. I'll be back in just a minute." The nurse left. They had made an appointment for the day they got back to LA. The appointment had consisted mostly of paperwork. The nurse came back with printouts, a file folder of information and resources for pregnant women and a recommendation to come back in a month.

"It's so tiny." Bethany said as she ran her fingers over the sonogram once they were in the car again. "How fucking crazy is that I'm growing a tiny person there?" She rested her hand on her stomach.
"It's pretty insane." Sebastian said, grabbing her hand and rubbing the back of it with his thumb.
"Is it okay if I put a picture of the sonogram on my insta?" She asked. "After we tell our parents obviously. I'm pretty sure my mom would kill me if she found out I was pregnant via Instagram."
"Absolutely." He kissed the back of her hand and she smiled. "Pretty sure my mom would kill me too."
"Can I have my hand back so I can take a picture?"
"Nope." Bethany smiled and shook her head, turning her gaze back to the sonogram in her hand.

They checked to see if Sebastian's mom was home and when she said she was they decided she would be the first to know.
"So what inspired the spontaneous visit? I don't mind, I'm just curious." Stephanie said as she filled the kettle with water. Bethany laid one of the sonograms on the table. "Hmm?" Stephanie turned and caught sight of the sonogram. She walked over to the table and picked it up. "Are you-is this-?"
"You're gonna be a grandma." Sebastian said with a smile.
"Oh! Congratulations! Come here!" She pulled Sebastian out of his seat and wrapped him in a hug. Then did the same with Bethany. She grabbed Sebastian again. "I'm so happy for you guys." She wiped at her eyes and turned to grab the sonogram off the table. The talk quickly turned to how Bethany was feeling and things she could expect. While Bethany appreciated Stephanie's advice she got a little overwhelmed.

"We should probably tell Remington and Emerson face to face too. Remington'll be pissed if he finds out through Instagram and it'll be weeks before Emerson even sees it so." Sebastian said when they were back in the car.
"Sure. Let me find out if they're home." Bethany texted Remington. "He's says they are. Also we need to tell Panda and Juls face to face too."
"Then I guess that's where we'll go next."
"Actually before we tell anyone else we should tell my parents."
"Oh. Yeah. Okay." After checking to see if Bethany could FaceTime her parents they pulled into a parking lot and called them.
"Hey, Bean." Chris said when he answered.
"Hi, Daddy. Where's Mom?"
"She's comin'. Amy!"
"One second!" Was the reply. A few second slyer she joined Chris. "Hi, sweetie. Hi, Sebastian." Sebastian waved.
"So we have something to tell you guys." Bethany said, picking up one of the sonograms.
"Yeah?" Chris said, looking at Sebastian. Sebastian subtly shook his head. Bethany switched the camera view and held up one of the sonograms.
"Yeah. You guys are gonna be grandparents."
"Oh my gosh! Oh, honey that's wonderful! Congrats!" Amy gasped.
"Holy shit. Would you look at that." Chris said. Bethany switched the camera view back.
"I'm four weeks along. Due in February."
"I never expected you to have our first grandbaby, but fuck this is exciting." Chris grinned.
"Yeah it is!"
"When did our baby get old enough to have a baby of her own?" Amy asked Chris.
"Hell if I know." Amy did much the same as Stephanie had, offering advice and encouragement.

———

"So don't freak out, but you guys are gonna be uncles." Bethany said. Remington stared at her silently for a few seconds, seeming to process what she said. Emerson grinned and pulled them both into a hug.
"Congratulations guys!"
"Holy fuck!" Remington finally said. "That's awesome!" He gave them each a hug. "We need to celebrate this! How do we celebrate?"
"This is us celebrating. We're telling everyone. We can't stay too long 'cos we still gotta Panda and Juls." Bethany told him. Remington was bouncing with excitement and pacing the living room.
"Fucking crazy." Emerson muttered. Bethany nodded. Sebastian squeezed her hand.

They pulled into Andy and Juliet's driveway and Bethany felt her chest constrict. She had no idea how Andy was going to respond. They were both in the living room when Bethany and Sebastian walked in. Bethany was holdings Sebastian's hand so tight it was starting to hurt.
"Hey!" Juliet grinned when she saw them. "How was your trip?" She stood and gave Bethany a hug.
"Amazing!" Bethany began gushing about all the things they'd done while on their trip while Andy pulled her into a hug. "And, um, well there's one other thing." She took Sebastian's hand again and smiled up at him. "We're having a baby." Juliet went wide eyed and pulled her into another hug.
"Oh my gosh! That's so exciting." Bethany turned to look at Andy, who looked to be trying very hard to be happy for them.
"Yeah." He said. "Congrats." It was obviously forced.
"Andy-" Bethany started.
"Are you insane or just stupid?" He asked.
"Hey!" She protested, frowning. "I know it's not ideal timing, but we're really excited about this. Can't you just be happy for us?" Andy took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Sebastian and who raised an eyebrow as if challenging him. Bethany knew exactly what Andy was going to say. "Hey!" She snapped and Andy looked at her again. "Don't even think about it."
"Can I talk to you alone?" He asked her. She rolled her eyes.
"Fine." They walked down the hall into the music room. Bethany dropped into the rolling desk chair and Andy started pacing.
"Peanut-"
"Y'know what? Me first." He stopped in front of her. "Fuck you!" He has the audacity to look offended. "I know, okay? I know I'm young and I know we haven't been together for very long, but we're really excited for this. Look." She pulled the sonogram from her pocket. "That's your niece or nephew."
"Do Mom and Dad know?" He asked without looking at the sonogram. Bethany rolled her eyes again.
"Yes and they're both really excited. As is Sebster's mom. In fact you're the only person who isn't." He sighed and took the sonogram from her. She crossed her arms and watched him examine the sonogram.
"Never thought you'd be the first of the two of us to have kids."
"I know. It's kinda crazy." She rested her hand on her stomach.
"I still don't like Sebastian." Andy said after a few seconds of silence.
"Why?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe because he's six years older than you and now he's gotten you knocked up." Bethany stood.
"Yeah, well. Suck it up. We're in love and we're having a baby. You're just gonna have to get used to it."
"Don't hold your breath." He had the smallest hint of a smile on his face though. She smiled and he pulled her into a hug, squeezing her tight. "Congratulations, Peanut."
"Thank you." She pulled back a little and he kissed her forehead.
"I love you, Peanut."
"I love you too. Even when you're kind of a dick."
"I'm sorry for snapping." He had the decency to look embarrassed about his outburst. "No excuses."
"It's ok." Back in the living room Andy offered Sebastian a handshake and a genuine smile.
"Congrats, man. Sorry about the outburst, I-"
"It's alright." Sebastian shook his hand, "I get it." Bethany wrapped her arm around Sebastian's waist. Juliet invited them to dinner, but as they hadn't even been home yet, they opted out.

Sorry for the lack of updates I've been in the doldrums for awhile now what with one of my closest friends moving away and the love of my getting engaged to someone else. I just haven't been in the right headspace to write recently. But I'll try not to space out my updates so much anymore.
