Chapter 4: A Dream Come True
Maya sat in the doctor's office, her fingers intertwined with Jordan's as they waited for the ultrasound technician to return. The steady rhythm of her heartbeat echoed in her ears, a mix of excitement and nerves swirling in her chest.
"Babe, you okay?" Jordan asked, squeezing her hand.
She let out a small laugh. "Yeah. Just... I don't know. This feels huge. We've always just known with the boys, but this time-"
Jordan smiled, his dimples appearing. "This time, we get to be surprised together."
Before she could respond, the door opened, and the technician walked in, all smiles. "Alright, are we ready to find out?"
Maya nodded quickly, gripping Jordan's hand even tighter.
The technician applied the cool gel to her belly and moved the wand across her skin. The screen flickered, and soon, the sound of their baby's heartbeat filled the room, steady and strong. Maya felt Jordan relax beside her, his thumb brushing gently over the back of her hand.
"Everything looks great," the technician assured them before pausing, tilting the screen slightly. "And... it looks like you're having a baby girl."
Maya's breath hitched.
"A girl?" she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jordan let out a stunned laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. "No way."
The technician nodded. "Way! Congratulations-you're having a daughter."
Maya turned her head toward Jordan, her eyes already glassy with tears. "We're really getting our girl."
Jordan exhaled deeply, emotion flickering across his face. He kissed the back of her hand before leaning down to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. "We are," he murmured.
For years, they had dreamed of this moment. They loved their boys more than anything, but deep down, Maya had always hoped for a daughter-a little girl to love, to raise, to share an unbreakable bond with. And now, that dream was real.
As they left the office, hand in hand, Maya glanced at Jordan, her heart overflowing. "Jayden and Noah are gonna lose their minds."
Jordan chuckled. "Bruno's gonna be worse. He already acts like he's their third parent."
Maya laughed, wiping away the last of her happy tears. "She's gonna be so loved, Jordan."
He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. "She already is."
