A or O. If both parents are heterozygous (AO), then the child has a 1/4 chance of being type O. However, if even one parent is homozygous (AA), then the child will only be type A.
A child receives a blood type allele from each parent. A is dominant to O, codominant to B
If the parents are both homozygous for type A, their genotype is AA. The child must therefore be Type A as well.
However if both parents are heterozygous for type A, their genotype is AO. A is dominant so their blood is Type A. By a punnent square, their child could have any of the following blood types:

AA- Will be type A.
AO- Will be type A.
OO- Will be type O
Type A only
type a or o
as parents could be AA or AO
presuming they're AO x AO
then theres a 25% chance they'll have a baby with O type blood!
type A only
It could be anything. You can't really know until the child is born. Just because you are both type A does not mean he/she will be.
