Sam POV

"but mom, I'm your favourite that has to count for something" Joe sighs before walking out on to the balcony

Joe had been on the phone with his mum since we left the arena trying to convince her not to do the gender reveal party and so far he was getting nowhere. He had gone outside because at some point I had become unable to hold back my laughter and apparently he didn't appreciate that.

I knew how much this baby meant to Joe, he had made no secret of how badly he wanted to be a father and I knew he was excited. I also knew he wanted to prove me wrong but what he didn't realise was that no matter how convinced I was that we were having a girl, as long as this tiny human that's half me and half Joe was healthy I really didn't mind what we have.

Realising the talking has stopped I step out on to the balcony, I find Joe now shirtless leaning on the railings with his head down. I walk up behind him wrapping my arms around his waist and press gentle kisses to his back.

"No luck?" I ask as he turns in my arms

"we compromised" he sighs "we are allowed to find out but we can't tell anyone until the party, how am I supposed to keep it to myself baby? I'll be too excited"

"Oh I think I can find ways of keeping you quiet" I smile and he smirks at me

"Are you threatening me with a good time Mrs Anoa'i?" he asks

"Trust me big man when it comes to you a good time is never a threat but always a promise" I say leaning up to kiss him

"Every second I spend with you is good time" he says breaking the kiss "and our little one is only going to make things better"

One Week Later

Sam POV

We had arrived at the hospital super early not because we had got lucky with traffic but because my over excited husband couldn't wait any longer to set off. We had been shown into the scan room and Joe had helped me get comfortable on the examination table while we waited for he nurse to come.

"I can't wait to see how much he's grown" Joe says kissing my hand

 "You mean she" I smile "I can't wait to see your face when she says it's a girl"

"I guess a mini you wouldn't be so bad" he smirks and I playfully swat him

"Ok Mr & Mrs Anoa'i right?" the nurse asks and we both nod "let's get this gel on you and we'll see how baby is doing" she smiles

Joe and I watch intently as she spreads the cold gel over my stomach and then begins to move the scanner over it, slowly our baby appears on the screen and I feel Joe give my hand a squeeze, when I look at him he has the biggest smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

"So baby is doing well, a little bigger than average but everything is perfectly fine" she smiles "and here is their heartbeat"

"Why am I not surprised we are having a big baby" a chuckle

"With me as their dad they were never going to be small" he laughs "but they are absolutely perfect"

"Would you like to know what you are having?" she asks and we both nod

"Ready to be wrong?" Joe smiles and I just smile back at him

"What do you think you're having dad?" the nurse asks

"I'm absolutely certain it's a boy" Joe says proudly

"Well, lets find out" she smiles "ok baby is co operating and you are having.........a girl"

I look over at Joe and his mouth is open and his eyes are wide and I can't help but chuckle at the look of shock on his face.

"You ok there big man?" I ask and he turns to look at me, his shocked expression turning into a smile.

"Yeah I'm good, I was so sure though" he smiles "at the end of the day she's healthy and she's perfect and that is all that matters" he says kissing my forehead

"I'll go get your pictures" the nurse says before leaving the room

Joe grabs some tissue and cleans me up before helping me to sit up, he stands in front of me my legs at either side of his and presses a gentle kiss to my lips before leaning down and kissing my bump.

"our perfect little princess" he smiles before looking up at me "you know I'm never going to let her date right?" he says and I laugh

"protective already huh?" I chuckle as he stands up

"I will always be protective of my girls" he says "if a boy wants to date her he'll have to get passed me"

"That's a way off" I smile "Lets just focus on bringing her into this world"

"I hope she looks just like you" he says "then I'll have the two most beautiful girls in the world"

"and maybe next time you'll get a boy" I smile "that's if you want more?"

"are you kidding I want a whole football team of kids with you" he smiles

"Woah no way am I going through labour that many times" I say "so unless you can find a way to have some of them yourself we are not having that many"

"well twins do run in my family so it may not be as many times as you think" he smirks and I shake my head

"I'm not having 11 kids Joe" I laugh "that's too much"

"Alright maybe not 11 but I would like us to have a big family though" he says

There is nothing I wouldn't do for this man, nothing I wouldn't give him but I had to draw the line at that many kids. But the idea of having a big family with him definitely appeals to me.
