"Piper."
By this point I was snuggling into Eddie, and I had cracked. Tears were flowing down my face, and I was worried that they wouldn't stop. Yes, I needed Eddie and Joy, but that didn't and never will change the fact that I need Piper.
To think that this baby will never have her Aunt Piper kills me inside, and I don't understand why. It hurts so badly, the fact that Piper's gone, but this baby never knew her, and this baby will never miss her. Lately. fate hasn't been on my side, and that kills.
I was deep in thought when Eddie began rubbing my head. Joy had sat down on her bed at this point.
Six Weeks Later...
Joy was flipping through her agenda planner. "Patricia," she said from across the room. I glanced up at her. "Today you have an ultrasound. I'm assuming you want Eddie to take you, but do you want me to come as well? Oh, and it's at 1:00," she explained.
"You hear that Yacker," Eddie kindly stated. "I promise to stay with you the whole time."
I nodded in agreement with Eddie before saying that I wanted Joy to come.
Joy, Eddie, and I were getting out of the cab, as we discussed who would wheel me in. They decided that Joy would so that Eddie could hold my hand. When we got into the hospital, Joy got a nurse to take us to my examination room where a doctor asked me to change into a hospital gown.
Eddie wheeled me into the handicap bathroom, and helped me change. As he removed my shirt I reached up his, before realizing where we were, and what we were doing. He preceded changing me by removing my bra, and helping to remove my yoga pants, thong, and shoes. Then I felt his warm lips on mine for a few seconds before he slipped the hospital gown onto me.
Eddie wheeled me back to the examination room where him and Joy lifted me onto the examination table. "Hello Patricia, I am Dr. Felix Harrison and I will be performing your ultrasound today. Would you be a dear and place your legs on those stirrups?" the doctor explained while walking in.
"Eddie, a little help please?" I suggested. Eddie swiftly ran over and gently placed my broken leg on the stirrup before returning back to his chair aside the examination chair where he gripped my hand.
Then the doctor pulled a blanket up to about where my thong would end before pulling my gown up to nearly my boobs. He squeezed a lot of clear gel right below my belly button. He then pressed a hard plastic scanner around my stomach, making an image appear on the machine next to me.
After a few minutes I heard Dr. Harrison whisper, "Oh dear," and then I heard Joy gasp.
"What?" Eddie said seemingly worried?
Dr. Harrison glanced from me to Eddie. "It seems that you two are having triplets."
