It was just after 2:30 and Mila and Trevor were back in the exam room at the doctor. They had tried to convince Aunt Ellen to come along but she insisted this was something they should experience alone together. Dr. Miller was finally done setting up the ultrasound machine and was rubbing the cold gel in circles across Mila's ever-expanding belly.

“Alright, we've still got a good strong heartbeat. I'm looking at ten fingers and ten toes all forming nicely. So, do you still want to know the sex of the baby?”

Mila and Trevor responded with a resounding “Yes!”

Dr. Miller laughed, “I don't think I need to question you again on that, so...”

She slowly turned the monitor around.

“Say hello to your daughter!”

Mila stared in wonderment at the screen. There, already striking a pose, was her daughter. Her daughter with this amazing man whose been nothing short of a life saver for her. Suddenly his words cut through her thoughts.

“You okay? Are you happy?”

Mila could only nod as the tears began to fall.

“Looks like you can't call her the jellybean anymore!”

“Nah, she'll always be Daddy's little jellybean!”

After a few new ultrasound photos were taken, Mila hopped off the table and looked down at her belly.

“Come on baby girl, let's go home!”

On the ride home, Trevor suddenly asked.

“Hey, you don't mind if I drop you home first, do you? I’ve got to go somewhere really quick and then I'll be back.”

Mila, a bit taken aback, turned to look at him.

“Babe, I'll be home alone with Aunt Ellen and she's going to want to know if we found out the gender, which I thought we were going to tell her together!

“You can fend her off for like 20 minutes, can't you?”

Mila could feel herself getting angrier by the second. She knew it was irrational, but hormones had taken over by that point. By the time Trevor pulled into the driveway, she practically leapt out of the car, slamming the door behind her.

“Sweetie come on, don't be like this, I promise I'll be right back!”

Mila shot him a death glare over her shoulder and stomped into the house, running upstairs to the bedroom to hopefully avoid Aunt Ellen for now. She quickly, well, as quickly as possible. Honestly, she did nothing quickly anymore, showered, pulled her air-dried hair up into a messy bun and got into her comfy pajamas.

She was lying in bed when she heard Trevor come in the door and talk to Aunt Ellen a minute before there was a knock at the bedroom door.

“Mila, baby, will you come downstairs with me please? I got you a little something.”

Mila glared at him before throwing the covers off her.

“Fine, but only because there's something in it for me.”

“After you milady!”

Trevor followed her downstairs where a smiling Aunt Ellen stood in the family room.

“Now?” she asked.

“Now!” Trevor replied.

Aunt Ellen scooted out of the way for the big reveal.

“Oh. My. God.” was the only response Mila could muster.

There before her stood an already assembled cat tree with two of the most adorable kittens ever at the top.
