I have a fight coming up next month with Luke Douglas he wants a rematch after I knocked him out in our last fight. I’m ready to fight him right now if the opportunity was there. I’m excited to knock his ass out again, but I am not excited to go back to Los Angeles. I always go and train in the city I will fight in. I like to feel the vibes and show my face around town. It helps me feel the fans out to see if I am their fighter or if they are against me.

Today was a round of cardio which is my least favorite thing to do. I would rather be in the ring sparring with my partner, keeping my moves in check. Running and light weights are boring even though I know it’s important. I head to the locker rooms to shower before I go to Eve’s house. Which I guess is my home now too since I moved in with her after I asked her to marry me.

Clint yells out my name, and I turn to face him and say, “What’s up?”

“Have you talked to Eve yet? I need to know if I am booking our flight or not.”

“I haven’t yet. I will after our appointment.”

“Big day, huh? Are you hoping for a boy?”

I smile at him and say, “What man doesn’t want a boy? But really, I just want him or her to be healthy. I gotta shower, and get out of here. I’ll call you later about Los Angeles.”

I get in the shower after stripping the sweaty gym clothes off. I can’t believe today we find out if we are having a son or daughter. I’m scared out of my mind. I never dreamed I’d be a dad this early in my life. I have no idea how to be a parent. My mom says not to worry, it will all fall into place and my dad says the same. All you have to do is love the child and everything else you will learn as you go. I have to take their word for it, after all; they raised my siblings and me.

When I get home everything is quiet, so that tells me Eve is still sleeping. I trained early today because of the appointment for the ultra sound. I drop my gym bag off in the laundry room and get a bottle of water from the refrigerator. I have half of it gone before I get to our bedroom.

I lean on the door frame and look at my beautiful fiancée. The covers have slid off her, and she lies naked on her back. She has one hand under her head, and her left hand is on her belly. The diamond ring I got her shines from the sunlight that peeks through the two curtains. I think to myself; this is my soon to be wife and baby. Chills run through me and the hairs on my arms stand. How did I get this damn lucky to have a woman like Eve? I hope our child is just like her. As nervous as I am to be a husband and father I will not ever turn my back on her again or our kid. My life is here with them.

I quietly walk over and lay down next to Eve, I reach over and put my hand on top of hers. She moves her hand out from under mine. Her baby bump moves, and at first, I think it’s from her moving her body, but then I feel it again. My baby just kicked my hand. I just felt my child move for the first time. My eyes begin to water as I realize this is real. Of course, I’ve known in the back of my mind I’m going to be a dad, but this is my baby in Eve’s belly. This is our love moving and kicking my hand.

Eve’s hand wipes at my tears, I look up to her and say, “The Baby is moving, like kicking my hand.”

“I know. She never stops moving in the mornings.”

“She? Do you know we are having a Daughter? This isn’t the first time you felt her?”

“No, I told you I never went for the ultrasound. So today will be the first I see her too. I’ve felt her move for weeks now.”

“So, you think we are having a girl, huh? What if she is a he?”

“Then my intuition is wrong, and I will love him.”

“This is incredible, Eve; I can’t believe I am feeling our baby move. I can’t wait to hold our baby for the first time.”

“I need to shower, or we are going to be late.” I watch as she walks across our bedroom. Her belly is starting to show her pregnancy. “Stop staring at me; I’m a blimp.”

“You are not a blimp. I think you are sexy as hell. If you don’t believe me come and check my jeans.”

“Kevin, I think you hit your head at the gym today. Look at me. My clothes don’t even fit. My hair is a frizzy mess, and my ass is getting bigger. I am not sexy so stop staring at me like you want to gobble me up as if I’m a Thanksgiving turkey with stuffing.”

I laugh and say, “Turkey is my favorite holiday meal.”

She rolls her eyes at me. “I’m going to shower. Go gobble some eggs or something.”

Eve leaves and goes into the bathroom, and I lie here with my dick hard as hell. She has no idea how sexy she is pregnant. I adjust myself in my jeans and try to think of something else. I look at the time and realize my idea of joining her in the shower is a bad one. I watch the ceiling fan spin round and round until my erection is gone.

I drive Eve to the doctor’s office for the ultrasound. My palms are sweaty as I grip the steering wheel. I am so damn excited to see my little peanut and nervous as hell. What happens if something is wrong with our baby? I am trying not to think about it, but it’s kinda hard not to. I’ve seen movies where parents get bad news during the appointment. I am crossing my fingers everything is alright. A big tough guy like me and I want to vomit right now.

Eve gets up on the table and lays down. Her shirt gets tucked up under a towel and the same with her pants. I hold her hand and watch as the lady squirts gel on her belly. I then look up at the monitor looking for our baby. The lady moves the hand wand around a few times then stops. We see our little one’s face. It looks like he is yawning. After moving around this morning; he must be tired. I watch as he begins to suck his thumb.

The lady says, “The heartbeat is strong, and you are twenty-two weeks putting your due date December Twelve. Would you like to know the sex?”

Eve looks to me, and I nod my head. She tells the lady, “Yes, please.”

She moves the wand around some more. “Active baby you have here.” I hold my breath waiting to know. A few more breaths and she says, “You are having a girl. Congratulations.”

Eve smiles from ear to ear, “I knew I was right.”

“I already love her.” I sit forward and give Eve a kiss.

A baby girl! I can’t believe I’m going to be a dad to a little girl, she’ll be my little princess. I’m going to kick anyone’s ass if they mess with my little girl.
