Billie's Lover
Chapter 14
*Clara’s POV*
Another month had gone by, and I was indeed pregnant. I was only two months along and I was already unbelievably scared, but I knew I could count on Billie. We had told everyone about the pregnancy and they were fully supportive so I knew they’d be there for me too, as corny as it sounds.
Today the guys were in the recording studio and Munson and Hannah were coming over for lunch.
The doorbell rang. It was Hannah.
“Hey!” I said, “Come on in!”
“You’re so pale. Are you okay?” She asked.
“Hmm… Morning sickness,” I said heading over to the kitchen.
“Oh yeah…” She said joining me, “How are you taking all this so far?”
“Alright I guess,” I replied, “Not much has changed yet though.”
“Yeah…”
Then Munson walked through the door.
“Hey!” She said, “It was open.”
“Hey,” We both said.
She and Hannah both sat down on the stools at the counter as I prepared lunch.
“So, how have you been?” Munson asked, “Like with the pregnancy and all...”
“Bit of morning sickness, but other than that pretty good,” I replied
“How about you?” I asked, “You and Tre thinking of having kids?”
“No, not anytime soon,” She replied, “Probably gunna wait a couple years.”
“Yeah, that makes a lot more sense…” I replied.
She laughed.
“See, I’m completely left out here,” Hannah said, “I’m not even married.”
“Give it time,” I said.
“But you and Billie got married so fast!” She whined.
“Yeah, and now I’m in this mess,” I said pointing to my stomach, “I mean don’t get me wrong, it’ll be great having a child. I just wish we could have waited a bit.”
“Yeah…” They both said.
“But I am actually getting a bit excited now,” I said with a grin.
We had lunch and chatted for the rest of the afternoon. They left around 3:30.

The next few months went by so quickly. I couldn’t believe I was now 5 months pregnant. I was going to the doctor’s today to find out the sex of the baby. Billie was coming too. I was so excited. We decided to discus names this evening when we knew whether it was a boy or a girl.
When we got there we went into private little room and Dr. Barnes did the ultrasound.
“So what is it?” Billie asked her.
“I’m assuming you’re the father…” She said.
He nodded.
“Well, you’re having a beautiful little girl!” She said.
Billie’s smile was so big it looked as though it might break his jaw.

On the drive home we discussed names.
“How about Alex?” Billie asked.
“Maybe,” I replied, “But I also like Tara. Oh, and Lilly.”
“Yeah, and Julie.” He said.
“Oh yeah…” I said.
“Well we have lots of time to decide.” He said.
“Ooh! I can’t wait to tell Hannah and Munson.” I said.
He laughed.
We got it and I called Hannah first.
“Hello?” She said.
“Hi! It’s Clara!” I said, “Guess what?”
“What?” She said.
“I’m having a girl!” I said happily.
“Aw! That’s so great!” She replied, “Have you though of any names?”
“A few, but we haven’t finalized anything,” I said, “Anyway, I gatta go. I have to call Munson and tell her!”
“Okay bye!” She replied
“Bye,” I said and hung up.
I dialed Munson’s number.
“Hello?” She said.
“Hey! It’s Clara!” I said.
“Oh hey, what’s up?” She asked.
“We found out the sex of the baby!” I said.
“Oh my god, what is it?!” She asked excitedly.
“We’re having a girl!” I said.
Billie was sitting on the chair opposite me smiling as listened in on my conversation.
“Are you going to name her Courtney?!” She asked.
I laughed.
“Maybe…” I said.
Munson’s real name was Courtney. But we all called her by her last name, Munson.
“Well, I gatta go,” She said, “But I’ll check up on you tomorrow, okay?”
“Kay!” I replied, “Bye.”
“Bye.” She said.
“Hey, so I was thinkin’, and how do you feel about Anna?” Billie asked when I hung up the phone.
“Ooh, I love it...” I replied.
“Yeah, Anna May Armstrong,” He said.
“Anna May Armstrong,” I repeated.
