Seth.P.O.V

When I woke up, I was wrapped in Jacob's arms. His cheek was on top of my head. I moved carefully-trying not to wake him or the baby up-to see his face. He sighed in his sleep. I smiled, he looked so innocent. I felt a kick. Shit, I'd woken the baby up. Jacob's eyes fluttered open.

"Morning," he said groggily. I wrinkled my nose. He frowned at me.

"Morning breath," I said. He laughed tired.

"You want breakfast?" he asked. I nodded eagerly. "Stay here," he told me. I smiled as I laid down in bed. I closed my eyes and just thought. Would the baby be a boy or a girl? Who would it look more like? I drew small circles on my stomach. I inhaled deeply. The smell of bacon and butter wafted through the air. I frowned. What the hell was he doing? I shook my head and continued with my train of thought. Jacob walked through the door with a plate in his hand with two bacon sandwiches on it. Butter and bacon, now I got it. I sat up and took the plate out of Jake's hand. I took a huge bite out of one of the sandwiches and moaned. He'd gotten the bacon just right. Not too crispy, but still had a certain crunch.

"Nice?" Jacob asked. I nodded. I finished the sandwiches-leaving the crusts. I never ate them- and handed Jacob the plate. He rolled his eyes but took the plate and left the room. He returned a few moments later and sat down next to me. He put his head on my stomach.

"Hello, I'm your daddy," he said talking to the bump. "Uh-huh...uh-huh, oh! So you're a girl. Nice. Mommy and me are gonna call you..." he looked up to me. I shook my head.

"You're pathetic." I told him. He gasped.

"Mommy didn't mean that, he's just upset because you make him tired. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. I'll tell him," he turned to me "She says she's sorry."

"Pathetic. And how do you know it's a girl."

"She just told me. You still haven't answered her question. She wants to know what she's gonna be called." I sat and thought hard

"Dinah?" I asked.

"Ew, no," Jacob said wrinkling his nose.

"Leah?"

"That's your sister's name."

"Asia?" Jacob cocked his eyebrow at me.

"I'm not naming my child after a continent." he stated. I was getting pissed now.

"Laylah?"

"Loose the 'L.'"

"Aylah?"

"Aylah-Rose," Jacob said simply. The baby kicked. "Ah, see, Aylah-Rose likes her name already!" I smiled rolled my eyes and my mate's crazy antics. He chuckled and caressed my stomach.

"Aylah-Rose," I said. "Wait, what if Aylah-Rose is a boy?" Jacob frowned.

"I told you, Aylah-Rose tells me she's a girl," I gave him my: "Are you fucking kidding me," look.

"Grow up Jake," I snapped. He knew better than to mess around with me now.

"I like William Harrison for a boy," he told me. I smiled.

"I like that name too," I said as I laid back down. Jacob put his arms around me. I sighed happily. The doorbell rang just after I had closed my eyes and cuddled into Jacob. He grumbled and answered the door I followed him. I smiled when I saw the familiar face of my doctor. He had tanned skin, like the rest of us on the rez. His eyes were blue, which was rare here. His cheekbones were high on his face and his face was heart shaped. His jaw was sharp and very masculine.

"Hello, you must be Jacob." he said holding his hand out to him. Jacob frowned, but took his hand. "I'm Dr. Levi Masters, Seth's midwife." he said. "Can I come in?"

"Yes," Jake said, moving out of the way so that the doctor could come through.

"Okay Seth, lie on the couch and lift up your t-shirt for me." Dr. Masters said. I did as I was told. He felt around a little and nodded. Then he got equipment out from his bag. He gave me a pair of headphones and passed another pair to Jacob. He got up and put the headphones on. Dr. Masters ran a tool over my stomach and soon enough we heard a heartbeat. Jacob inhaled sharply and then smiled, extending his hand towards me. I took it with a huge smile.

"Well that's it for this week." Dr. Masters said. "Now, the baby is due in 6 weeks. I'll be checking the baby every week from now." I nodded, understanding. He smiled and left. Jacob breathed a sigh of relief.
