"Yes she is," Derek agreed.

"And I did notice that," he replied a bit sheepishly "She'll probably have
your smile though."

Just as long as their son, she thought to herself with another almost
secretive smile of her own, had his.  And odd thing was, she knew they would
have a son.  She felt certain of it.

She was going to comment on whether Amelia would have other characteristics
of her parent when the doctor came in.

"I should have known." he chuckled, seeing them together instead of in
separate beds as he rolled the monitor in and explained "Usually, I'd let
your, what I call, baby doctor check you out but I get the feeling you don't
want to wait for her to be paged and then come in.  Of course we can wait if
you'd like?"

Since he was familiar with their case as well as the couple, he was more
than able to determine the results himself.  But he did realize that some
mothers just didn't want to show their stomachs to the male gender that
weren't their husbands.

"Sooner the better." Julia said "I owe our little girl a chili dog."

The doctor chuckled and instructed her to lay down flat on her back.  So,
maneuvering but with plenty of room left for Derek if he wanted to stay or
get up, Julia laid down and pulled her shirt up enough to expose her
stomach, looking at him and making a deliberately goofy face when the cold
gel made contact with her skin.

"It's always cold, no matter what." the doctor admitted as he started the
process "Now, let's take a look here....."
