i wake up on my couch, with my head on Mason's chest, who was awake scrolling through his phone

"morning Char" he croaks in his morning voice

"morning Mase"

i sit up and peck a kiss on his lips

"ready for your appointment?"

"do you think he'll tell us the gender?"

"well if its not today then its got to be next time"

"im really excited to find out"

"me too"

"you know its starting to settle in now, like im only just realising that in like 6 months were going to have a very small human in my arms"

"that is very weird to think about"

"all because we got drunk on a night out in London"

"do you regret it? because i don't"

"no, not at all mase,  i think both you and grape are some of the greatest things to happen to me"

"im almost kinda glad it ended this way because we might have just ended speaking to each other, and that would probably be the greatest mistake ever"

"you are speaking facts mase"

.

i get up and change into some new clothes, and then i sit down next to Mase who was scrolling through twitter

"Jamie is going to come and then we can go"

"okay"

"what you doing?"

"scrolling through Jake Paul's twitter, im genuinely confused"

"what has he done now? did he get canceled"

"no he's turning into a british soft boy"

"that doesn't make sense Mase"

"darling he's tweeting about Liverpool, im sorry but he said F the haters, not even Fuck the haters"

"what since when is he a Liverpool fan"

"no clue but the fact he said footy spelt with a y and not even football proves he needs to fuck off of british football twitter"

"agreed"

.

"lottie?"

"yeah mase"

"am i a roadman?"

i start laughing at his question

"mase why do you think your a roadman"

"because declan says so"

"i mean he isn't wrong"

"so i am a roadman"

"mate im literaly the girl version of a roadman, we listen to central cee and Aitch, if thats not roadmen shit i dont know what is"

"great, good to know"

.

Later on, Jamie arrives and we all head off to the hospital, we enter the scanning room

"Hello Charlotte, how are we doing" the doctor Emma who was doing the scan says

"yeah im great"

"who do we have here with you guys this time?"

"my brother Jamie"

"well its nice to meet you Jamie" she greets him

i sit down on the hospital bed layed next to the scanning machine

"so have you had any new symptoms?"

"well ive been throwing up a bit more and the nausea has slightly increased"

"so have the pills i gave you not helped"

"barely"

"well, i don't think you'll really need any more pills as the morning sickness and nausea should naturally start to calm down now that you are at the end of the first trimester, try drinking warm things before you sleep, that should help, but also make sure you use the bathroom before you sleep because of the amount of water you are drinking, you don't want to piss yourself at night"

"okay, are we going to find out the gender yet?"

"well it depends, if i can see it then yes ill tell you, if not then we might have to wait till the 15 week scan"

"can you write it down on an envelope for us if you do see it?"

"of course"

i lift up my sweater and she applies the cold gel and moves it around as a white spot appears on the screen

"would you like to hear the heartbeat?" she asks

i nod

she clicks a few buttons and we hear the small thumping sound

i can see a couple tears in mason's eyes, and i myself already have a tear dripping down my face

"i can see the gender of the baby, its not very obvious but i can see well enough, ill write it down on an envelope and ill print you a few photos too"

"thank you so much"

"your very welcome"

i can see her write something onto a piece of paper, then slips it into an envelope and seals it,  and hands it to me

i wipe my stomach and sit up

"ill go grab the photos and i'll be back" she says walking out

i look at Mase and Jamie, they were both tearing up which i never expected from either of them

"thats your niece or nephew in there Jamie" i say pointing to my stomach

he simply nods

the doctor comes back in shortly and gives us copies of the scan

"so, baby is healthy from what ive seen, might be a teensy bit smaller than usual when they're born, but as far as im concerned thats not going to change anything besides it could just be genetics, heartbeat is fine, the only thing is that the baby is in a slightly0 angled position but that should hopefully fix itself very soon, if it doesn't then we'll figure something out"

"so theres nothing to worry about?" i ask

"nothing at all love"

we smile and walk out the door

"damn im going to be that uncle who absoloutely spoils the kids"

"just as long as you don't teach them to play footie in the house then im okay"

"there's no guarantees Lottie"

"honestly if Jamie doesn't teach them then i'll have to myself" Mase says

"you can go play in the yard not in the house, you'll smash shit"

"even if its them ikea soft balls"

"yes"

"damn your no fun"

"well ill let you but only if you clean anything you break"

"deal"
