Casa Walsh: Living Room: Two Weeks Later…

Kelly was lying on the couch reading one of her favorite books, as soft music played in the background. It wasn’t something that she would normally listen to… in fact it was something that Brandon said would help to keep the baby calm. Kelly actually would have rather listened to anything but the classical music that was playing, but it was helping so she wasn’t complaining because all she wanted was to hold her baby… her strong, healthy, full term baby.

Brandon was in the kitchen with Donna and David… Brenda and Dylan had to fly back to London because they couldn’t post-pone the play any longer and Brenda was the lead so they had to go. Brenda had tried to refuse to go because she wanted to be there for her brother and best friend, but both Brandon and Kelly told her that she would regret it if she quit the play so she went. In truth having Brenda and Dylan leave was actually the best thing that they could have done. Having them in the house was what cause all the excitement and stress on the baby, which in turn lead to the emergency room visit they had two weeks earlier. Kelly had been doing much better and the three of them were planning something that would make her feel a whole lot better. Lately she had been feeling rather trapped because she couldn’t really go anywhere, so Donna, David, and Brandon were going to surprise her with the ultrasound they had canceled the week before.

“Thank you we’ll be there…” Brandon said hanging up the phone.

“So when is the new appointment?” Donna asked wanting to know what Kelly was having, probably just as much as Kelly did.

“Two o’clock and, yes, you can come… you both can.” Brandon said placing the phone back on the charger.

“Okay so how are we going to get Kelly there without her knowing what is going on?” David asked wondering himself.

“I’m still trying to figure that one out… she isn’t easy to lie too…” Brandon said as he walked by the doorway peeking in on her to make sure she is not listening to them.

It was at that moment that Kelly felt the need to get something to drink so she slowly lifted herself up off the couch and began walking towards the kitchen. She could see Brandon and David sitting there talking and she knew that Donna was there too; however, she had no idea what it was that they were planning in there. Usually when Donna came over she would just sit and talk with Kelly, but today she needed to talk to Brandon. Kelly was beside herself about that, but she wasn’t about to get upset over it… she wanted the rest of this pregnancy to go smoothly.

“We could… Oh hey Kel…” David said noticing his step-sister walking into the room.

“What are you doing up? Doctor Reed said that you were to do nothing but rest…” Brandon said getting up off of the chair he had been sitting on to try and coax her back into the living room.

“Sorry, the baby and I were thirsty.” Kelly said with that cute smile that Brandon couldn’t seem to resist.

“Okay, you go back into the living room and I will get you a drink… Then I have a surprise for you later!” Brandon said as he gently turned her towards the couch and waited for her to start walking back into the living room.

“Where are we going?” Kelly asked as she turned to face him.

“You will just have to wait and see… Donna would you like to accompany Kelly here back to the couch?” Brandon asked Donna while being sly and sneaky with Kelly.

“No fair!” Kelly pouted as Donna walked with her back to the couch and sat down with her.

“You’ll love it trust me.” Donna said sitting down next to her.

Kelly really didn’t want to be surprised because of what had happened with the baby the last time she was surprised. The only thing she could seem to think about was what Andrea had gone through with Hannah. Despite all the phone conversations that she had with Andrea it didn’t seem to ease her fear of delivery early and having to sit in the hospital watching her little girl suffer the same way Andrea and Jesse did. Donna saw that Kelly seemed to be thinking about something that had to do with the baby because every time she thought about the baby she seemed to put her hand on her abdomen.

“Are you thinking about little Brooke or Blake?” Donna asked remembering the two names that Kelly liked the best.

“I just don’t want to be surprised Donna… you know what happened last time… this little one hates surprises…” Kelly said getting a little emotional again.

“Okay, if you promise to act surprised when we get there I will tell you. But you have to promise me!” Donna said trying to be stern with her best friend, even though she could never make it sound that way.

“Deal!” Kelly said as she smiled and turned towards Donna.

“Brandon has rescheduled your ultrasound for this afternoon and he told them that they were to find the sex of the baby right away. He wants to know what it is…” Donna said getting all excited for her friends.

“Really? Awe…” Kelly said as Brandon came in with her water.

“You ready for your surprise?” He asked as he handed the glass to her.

“Yes, when are we leaving? So I can get ready.” Kelly asked trying to make it seem like she thought that they were just going to dinner.

“In about a half hour so we have enough time to get there.” Brandon said playing along with her.

Kelly just smiled as she took a sip of her water. She couldn’t wait to find out what it was that she was carrying. She really hoped it was a little girl, whereas, Brandon was secretly hoping that it was a little boy. No one could really tell by the way that she was carrying because her not so small baby bump was right in the center. Slowly, Kelly got up off the couch and had Donna help her to get ready. It was something that she had been doing lately, plus she wanted to get more out of Donna about her little surprise.

Upstairs in the Master Bedroom…

Kelly was sitting on the bed while Donna was pulling out the outfit that Kelly wanted to wear that day. After all, she couldn’t go out in the pajamas that she had been wearing all day. So Donna pulled out a very cute white top and some dark blue overalls for Kelly to wear because she was getting sick of always wearing sweat pants anytime she went outside. Kelly took the outfit from her best friend and went into the bathroom to put them on. While she was doing this Donna was sitting on the bed waiting.

“So did Brandon tell you why he decided to change his mind?” Kelly asked through the bathroom door.

“He said that he thought he was putting some extra stress on you by making you keep it a secret from him and that he didn’t want to cause you any more stress.” Donna said, making sure that she was being quiet enough so the guys wouldn’t hear her.

“Well, he made a good choice… and so did you. What do you think?” Kelly said as she walked out of the bathroom and did a little spin for her friend.

“I think you look radiant as always.” Donna said with a little giggle as the two of them walked down the stairs together.

Brandon was waiting by the front door with the car keys in his hand just waiting for the girls to get downstairs so the could all go. David was waiting outside by the car because he couldn’t be inside any longer. Soon the girls walked down the stairs and met the guys outside. Kelly smiled at Brandon as he opened the door for her with a quizzical look on his face. It wasn’t that he thought she knew what they were doing, but that he knew she was up to something.

Both Donna and David where quietly sitting in the backseat listening to whatever station Brandon had on. Kelly also sat in her seat patiently and quietly waiting for them to get where it was that they needed to get too. Brandon drove silently as he snuck a few quick glances at the woman who made his world complete. Once the baby was here, boy or girl, it didn’t matter; he was going to ask Kelly the question that he had been thinking about since the first time he had asked her two years earlier. He just didn’t quite know how he was going to ask her to marry him when he couldn’t even sort out all the things he felt for her in order to say what he wanted to say to her. It was something that he had been trying to figure out ever since they almost lost the baby two weeks earlier. He knew when that happened that he wasn’t going to spend another day without her by his side; he just had to figure out what to say and how to say it. However, before he could think about that any longer they pulled up to the building that the ultrasound was taking place in.

“Where are we? I thought we were going out to eat…” Kelly said as she played along like she was confused.

“Nope, we are going to find out the sex of the baby!” Brandon said with a smile on his face.

“You really want to find out?” Kelly asked trying not to sound so excited, but yet she really couldn’t help it.

“I really want to… I know it would make you happy and that is all I want to do right now… so what do you say we get in there and find out what this little angel is?” Brandon said as he wrapped his arms around her while placing his hands where their baby was growing.

“Come on guys let’s get in there and find out what the baby is so I can start buy clothes!” Donna said practically at the door already.

“Coming…” Kelly and Brandon said together as the two of them walked hand in hand like they used to all of the time.

Inside the Ultrasound Room

Kelly sat on the table fully dressed with her shirt resting just above her abdomen because she was a little warm. Her overalls that she was wearing were undone enough to show her bulging belly and she had a smile plastered across her face as the four of them waited to see Brandon and Kelly’s baby. Brandon was standing next to Kelly holding her hand just as happy as she was when the ultrasound technician came into the room. She walked over to where Kelly and Brandon were and turned on the monitor and the rest of the equipment.

“Hello, Ms. Taylor I hear you want to find out if your baby is a boy or a girl?” The technician asked as Kelly sat up.

“Yes, we both do… right sweetie?” Kelly said turning to Brandon.

“Right baby… so can we see the baby?” Brandon asked as he squeezed Kelly’s shoulders.

“Just one more question before I begin…” The technician said.

“Well, ask then…” Donna said just as excited as Kelly was.

“Yeah what are you waiting for?” David piped in as well.

“What do you want the baby to be?” The technician asked Brandon and Kelly.

“Well, I think the baby is a girl, but he seems to think the baby is a boy no matter how much he tries to deny it…” Kelly began.

“But as long as he or she is healthy we will be happy either way.” Brandon finished.

“Then let’s find out what we are having.” The technician began. “Now this may be a little cold.” She continued as she placed the gel on Kelly’s abdomen.

As she placed the wand on Kelly’s abdomen Kelly flinched a little because of the pressure that the wand was putting on her bladder, but she didn’t mind. As the wand moved around the picture on the monitor started to show Brandon and Kelly’s baby. A small sigh escaped from Kelly’s mouth as a few stray tears fell down her cheeks. That was her baby on that screen and the sound in the background was her baby’s heartbeat. Both Brandon and Kelly couldn’t believe that this was actually happening. Seeing the baby on the screen made it all the more real to both of them. The picture changed again as the technician found what it was that she was looking for.

“Congratulations Ms. Taylor, you are going to be the proud mother of a baby girl!” The technician finally said.
