Excerpted from Charles R. Cross' "Heavier Than Heaven" (Chapter 17: Little Monster Inside)

The prospect of the baby gave Kurt a small beacon of hope in what had become an increasingly black existence. To ensure the fetus was properly developing, they'd gotten several sonograms, pictures of the baby in the womb. When Kurt saw them, he was visibly shaken, and wept with relief that the child was developing normally. Kurt took one of the sonograms and used it as the centerpiece of a painting he began working on. When a second test produced an ultrasound video of the fetus, he asked for a copy and watched it obsessively on his VCR. "Kurt kept saying, 'look at that little bean,' " recalled Jennifer Finch. "That's what they were calling her, 'the bean'. He would point out her hand. He knew every single feature of that graphic image." Early in the pregnancy, after determining the child's gender, they had selected a name Frances Bean Cobain. Her middle name was their nickname, while her first name came from Frances McKee of the Vaselines, or so Kurt would later tell reporters. Her sonogram photo later was reproduced on the sleeve of the Lithium single.
