Hi guys enjoy the next chapter
Two weeks later they were already completely into the moving process. Everyone was very excited about the wedding. Though, they had still needed to plan for it and the baby. Their friends were very supportive and everything was perfect, at least as perfect as this situation could get.
Kate had her first appointment at the gynecologists. Rick was coming with her. They would see their child for the first time. They were both were really excited to hear the heartbeat and see the tiny fetus.
They were sitting in the waiting room as they heard the nurse call.
"Katherine Beckett?" she asked.
They stood up then walked over to the nurse.
"Follow me please" she said.
They followed the nurse into the examination room.
"Please sit the down, your doctor will be here soon." She said as she left the room.
They sat in the room looking around before the Doctor appeared.
"I am so excited about seeing our baby Kate. I still can't believe we are becoming parents." Rick said while squeezing her hand tightly.
"I am too, Rick. I mean we are so young. I didn't expect to be sitting here and waiting to get an ultrasound being only 18 years old. But I am really happy that we are doing this and I'm getting to marry you. Even though, I didn't plan it this way I am glad it happened." Kate said as she leaned to kiss him.
Two minutes later her doctor walked in.
"Hello, Kate and I assume the father of the baby." The Doctor said.
"Yeah, Richard Castle a pleasure to meet you." Rick introduced himself then shook the man's hand.
"Dr. Jason Haley, but please call me Jason." He said.
"Ok Jason, call me Rick," Rick said sitting down.
Jason pulled over his chair to sit in front of Kate.
"So how are you doing Kate? Is there any complications or anything you wish to discuss?" he asked her.
"No, I didn't notice anything unusual." Kate answered with a smile.
"That's good Please lie down and get comfortable. I know these surrounding are strange but you will get used to it I promise." He said.
Kate gave the doctor a wane smile then lied down. She was far from comfortable. She squeezed Rick's hand for support.
I'll get everything ready for the ultrasound." Jason offered then organized the necessary equipment and supplies.
Kate lying down pulled her shirt up. Dr. Haley placed the cold gel on her belly then turned on the machine. He rubbed the wand across her belly. Soon there was a picture on the display. They heard the heartbeat of their baby. Suddenly Kate noticed something different.
"Is that normal? It sounds like there's more than one heartbeat." Kate asked.
"Actually there are three heartbeats." The doctor replied with a slight smile.
"Th…Three… heartbeats…?" Rick stuttered with the look of shock on his face.
"Yes, congratulations you are getting triplets." Jason announced shaking Rick's hand.
"Um ... a... thank you" he replied looking down at his fiancée.
Her mouth was open with the look of shock written all over her face.
"It seems like everything is ok with the babies, I am going to get the photos. It will take a few moments." Jason said as he left.
"Kate?" Rick inquired.
He was asking about her state since it was sure a shock to him. He wondered how she was reacting. He did not have long to wait.
She didn't say anything since the doctor said they were getting triplets.
"Kate, are you okay?" Rick asked again.
"Rick, how are we supposed to handle three babies?" Kate asked as she looked up at him.
He saw the tears streaming down her face. He kneeled down in front of her and took her hands in his
"Kate, hey, we are going to handle this situation. I know it is another barrier we have to conquer but we can do this together. We have help from our parents. I am going to drop out of school and write at home. I will be there all day. My mom is there plus your parents will help." He said as he pulled her hands to his mouth and kissed them.
"I don't know if I can do that Rick, three little babies, crying, wanting to get fed, to get their diapers changed and everything, Rick?" She said bewildered.
The tears continued to stream down her face and he moved to sit beside her. He put his arm around her shoulders and she snuggled her face into his chest.
"Kate, we have got help and we have each other. We can do it." He encouraged.
He kissed her on her head then stood gathering her to him.
"Let's go home, okay." Rick suggested.
He opened the door. She followed him out then together they went over to the counter to get their photos and prenatal vitamins.
They said goodbye to the doctor as Rick took the photos and bag of vitamins.
"Thank you it was nice to meet you." Rick said.
"The pleasure is all mine. I'll see you in four weeks Kate, good luck with your pregnancy. Remember Kate you need to double your dose of your vitamins." Jason said then shook Kate and Rick's hands.
"Thank you, see you in four weeks." She replied then together Rick and Kate left the office.
After exiting the office Rick pulled Kate into a tight hug and kissed her head
"We will get through Kate, we can make it work. I love you so much." He said holding on to her plus the bag containing the photos and vitamins.
He kissed her on her head on last time then walked over to the car.
