I´m inconsolable that I couldn`t update more quickly. Big, fat SORRY. Anyway I`ll update the next two chapters in the following week. Enjoy. =D
Chapter 7
Imagine the nervous feeling when you sit in your OB/GYN's waiting area, knowing you're going to find out your babies' genders in only a couple of minutes. You aren't sure what you want. You don't know if it would be easier for you to have boys because they might not remind you too much of Rika.
But on the other hand you always wanted to have daughters. You wanted little girls you could spoil with a thousand pairs of shoes and dresses and stuff like that. You never thought you could handle boys so you don't know what you want.
"You don't have to be nervous." Your fiancé says, squeezing your hand. Somehow you never found time to get married because of Rika's disease. They couldn't concentrate on a wedding and stuff like that.
"I still am." You whisper.
"I'm here hon. We'll get through this. No matter what is going to happen, if they are boys or girls they will be so loved. They will be so loved like no other child before, except for Rika of course."
You didn't say anything you just tried to relax. You concentrate on breathing. Good air in and bad air out you keep telling yourself until you hear the receptionist call your name.
"Addison, what a surprise." Dr. Mary Anderson said. You and Mary went to medical school together but haven't seen each other since then. She was the stand-in for Dr. Daniel Ryan.
"Hello Mary."
"So how are you?" She asked even if you never really were friends. It wasn't that you didn't like Mary but Mary was like a dangler.
"I'm good. Can we just do the ultrasound?" You asked, hoping to get out of this room as soon as possible.
"Okay, sure."
"How far along are you?"
"A little over 16 weeks."
"Okay do you want to know the gender if we can see it?"
"Yes." You say in union with Mark.
"Okay then let's go. Everything looks great. I can only see one placenta so I would say you are going to have identical twins and look, the right one there you can see that it's a girl." She tells you even if you already knew all of that before she even started talking.
Tears were welling up in your eyes. You felt so happy and sad at the same time.
"Thank you Mary." Mark said.
"Two girls Add." He said, stroking your hair. "Identical girls. They are going to be so beautiful."
"Yeah. I love you and the girls." You tell him gratefully for his patience with you. He surely hasn't had it easy with you the last couple of weeks, maybe even the last twenty months.
"I know you do. I love you too." And then he kissed you lovingly, showing you all his love with only one kiss.
to be continued...
So that was the ultrasound you were waiting for :) I hope you liked it and that it`s two girls.
I want to remind you that this happened pretty similar, I think for the following chapters you should remember this because those girls are really special. In every way!
So thanks for reading :)
