Chapter 3: Doctor's Visits and Surprises.
Nudge's POV
Nudge, Nudge, wake up! Angel shouted into my head. I looked at my alarm clock.
Angel! It's only 7:48 in the morning! You know I'm not a morning person.
I know, but I wanna be by the baby. I like reading its mind.
Angel! You've read its mind everyday for the last 2 week!
Yea, but you're a whole month pregnant now! And it has such sweet thoughts. Please? She started giving me mental Bambi eyes.
I got out of my bed, and walked to the door. Angel was standing out there, waiting for me to cave in. "Good morning Nudge." She said in her little angelic like manner. I would have fallen for it if it wasn't for the fact that I was still half sleep.
"Don't give me that crap Angel. You know I don't like getting up this early in the morning!" I was ready to kill her.
She looked at me with a slight bit of fear in her eyes. "I'm sorry Nudge. I really just wanted to read the babies mind." She said, hanging her head down.
I felt kinda bad now. "Fine. Come in." I said, defeated.
"Well, ok. If you insist." She said as she skipped into my room. She had a smile of victory on her face.
I walked over to my bed, and sat down next to her. She put her hand on my slightly bulging stomach. Like she said before, I'm a month pregnant, so 3 months in avian hybrid time.
"So what's it thinking?" I asked tiredly.
"It's saying hello. It says that it's very warm, and that it likes it in there. It says that it recognizes your voice, and that it likes hearing it. It says it loves you Nudge." She smiled at me. I couldn't help putting a smile on my face.
"Well, tell it that I love it too."
"Wait." She said, scaring me a little.
"What? Is something wrong?" I panicked a little.
"It's asking where the other person is. It doesn't really recognize my voice." She giggled a little.
"What's all the noise about?" Iggy asked, waking into my room, and yawning a big yawn. "Is something wrong with the baby?"
"No, but it's happy again. It like hearing your voice too Iggy." Angel said, dragging him over to the bed.
"Angel, do you know what time it is?" Iggy asked, looking at her like she was crazy.
"Yes. I just wanted to hear the baby's thoughts. I needed it to distract me from Max and Fang."
"What about them?" I asked with a confused look on my face.
"They were getting a little 'Frisky' if you know what I mean, and I could hear their thoughts, so I need something to distract me." She said shaking her head.
"So you mean right now, they're-"
"Yea. And it's really not something I need running through my head." She said, going back to listening to the baby's thoughts. "You know, it's weird. It's like I can hear the baby's thoughts during the day, and during the night."
"But can't you hear all our thoughts during the night?" Iggy asked.
"No. When you guys are a sleep, I hear what you see in your dream. But with the baby, it's like hearing the thoughts I hear during the day."
"So when we're all sleeping, you only hear what's happening in our dreams, and during the day, you can hear everything we are thinking?" I asked, trying to understand.
"Yep. So hear your going for an ultrasound today. Are you guys gonna find out the sex of the baby?" she asked, sitting on Iggy's lap, and giving pleading eyes.
"Um… I don't know. I guess we could. It would help us prepare better for it."
"Yea!" Angel cheered. "I can't wait!"
"AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!" I turned to the door to hear a scream coming from down the hall. It was definitely Gazzy's cry.
"Gazzy!" Angel yelled as she ran into the hall. "What's wr-" she stopped when she got to him. She was stunned, and then she let out an ear piercing scream as well. "AAAAAHHHH!!!!!"
Iggy and I ran out to find them sitting on the floor in the fetal position. "What happened?" I asked Angel, picking her up, and putting her on her feet.
"Gazzy walked in on Max and Fang, and then when I went to find out what happened, I saw it in his head!" she said, shaking her head fiercely.
"Get it out! Get it out!" Gazzy shouted.
"Calm down!" Iggy shouted at him. Gazzy stopped freaking out, and listened up. "Come. I'll make you guys some breakfast, and we'll pretend it never happened."
They nodded their heads, and followed him down the stairs. I went back to my room, and started to get ready to go to the doctor's. As I was finishing brushing my hair, I suddenly felt someone grab my waist. I spun around to see it was Iggy.
"Hello." He said with a big grin on his face.
"Hello." I said, giving him a quick kiss. "Shouldn't you be getting ready to go with me to the doctor's?"
"Yea, but we have a whole hour and a half before our appointment. I was kinda hopin…." He trailed off.
"No Iggy. Not right now. Maybe later tonight. Maybe."
He had a sad look of defeat on his face. "Please? I'll do the Bambi eyes."
"No Iggy. That's not gonna work this time." I said, crossing my arms. He then looked down at me with the Bambi eyes. I hate when he does that to me. I can't resist. I started biting my lower lip. "Ok. When we get back. Everyone will be gone, and we'll be home alone. Then. Got it?"
"Yes ma'am." He said with an excited look in his eyes. He gave me a peck on the cheek, and left to get ready.
"Damn. Why am I so weak around him? He's just so irresistible." I said to my self.
Doctor's Office…..
"Ciara Thompson and Jeff Ride?" the nurse called.
"Here." I said, getting up.
"This way please." She led us to a room with a bed, and a TV monitor. "Please lay down on the bed. The doctor will be in shortly."
"Ok." As she left, I did as she instructed, and waited. "So do you think Angel and Gazzy are gonna ever be able to sleep again?" I joked.
"Sure. I walked in on Max and Fang one, and I'm just fine."
"That's cause you were blind. You didn't see anything." I laughed. Then the doctor walked in.
"Ciara Thompson and Jeff Ride?" we nodded our heads. "Good to meet you both. I'm Dr. Schram. Now before we do the ultrasounds, I have a couple of questions. How old are you?"
"I'm 19, and she's 16." Iggy answered.
"How far along are you?"
"A little over 3 months." I answered causally.
"Ok. And have you been having any weird pains or anything?"
"No. From what my mom told me, everything seems normal. She's a veterinarian. "
"Ok. Everything seems normal. If you could just lift your shirt up, we can get started."
I did as she said, and she put a type of really cold gel on my stomach. I shivered a little, and Iggy thought I was funny. I gave him a death glare, which instantly made him shut up. She then pulled out a knob looking thing, and spread it across my stomach. We all watched the screen as she move the knob. I could really see anything until she pointed it out. "And that's it. Would you care to know the sex?"
"Sure." Iggy said, trying not to sound too excited.
"Congratulations on both your girls." She said with a smile.
"Both?" we both said at the same time. Her smile got even bigger this time.
"Yes. Congratulations again. Your having twins." I swear, I almost had a heart attack when she said that.
"OH MY GOD! We're having twins! I can't believe it!" I shouted as I held Iggy's hand.
"I can't believe I'm gonna be a dad of twins!"
"Would you like a picture of them?" Dr. Schram asked us.
"Yes please!" I practically shout at her.
Home….
"Twins!? Your having twins!?" Mom shouted, holding my hands. We called a flock meeting together so we could tell everyone. I also called Tammy over so she could hear the news.
"Yep. Can you believe it? I'm gonna be a dad of twins." Iggy said as Fang patted him on the back.
"Congrads man, but now you're gonna be out numbered 3 to 1." Fang said. Iggy's face turned a little pale.
"Oh yea."
"So that's why I could hear thoughts at night." Angel said running up to me. "One was always awake during the day, and the other was awake during the night!"
"Yep. And in less than two months, we'll have not one, but two new additions to our flock." I said with a smile.
"I can't wait!" Gazzy shouted.
"Neither can I Gaz. Neither can I."
