A month had passed. Tristan had just arrived for a doctor's appointment. She thought she was a little big for only being three months along. She looked about five months. She had to go to the doctor alone. Jeff was on the road. Since this was being treated as a high risk pregnancy an ultrasound was mandatory at every appointment. She was hooked at the machine.

"How have you been feeling?" The doctor asked.

"Really nauseous."

"I think I see why." "There's a second sac."

"A second sac?"

"A second baby." "You're having twins."

"Twins?"

"Yes." "That explains why you're showing so much so early."

"This is great." "My daughter will be so happy."

"I don't know for sure yet but since you're having twins that almost guarantees a C-Section." "We should know everything by the sixth month and be able to work up a fully birthing plan."

An hour later the babysitter dropped Catie off at home. Tristan was in the living room.

"Hi mommy." Catie said.

"Hi Catie."

"What did the doctor say?" "Is the baby ok?"

"The doctor gave mommy some good news today." "When the doctor was looking in my tummy, she found a second baby."

"A second baby?"

"Yep, mommy's having twins."

"That's awesome." "I get twin brothers or sisters."

"Or you could get one of each."

"Does Jeff know yet?"

"No."

"Can I tell him?"

"Sure." "Let's call him on Skype." They had a Smart TV with the Skype app. Tristan connected to that. Jeff popped up on the screen.

"Hey you two." Jeff said. "What did you doctor say?"

"They found a second baby." Catie said. "Mommy's having twins."

"Twins?" He said smiling.

"Yep." Tristan said.

"That's great."

Tristan turned to Catie. "We're gonna go out for lunch." "Go wash up."

"Ok." Catie said. She looked at the TV. "Bye Jeff."

"Bye." He said. "I'll see you for your birthday party next week." "I love you."

"Ok bye." She went upstairs.

Tristan looked at the TV. "The doctor said since I'm having twins it almost guarantees a C-Section." "I'll know for sure in the sixth month."

"Ok." "I gotta go." "Bye."

"Bye." They hung up.

A week later Jeff came to the house for Catie's birthday party. She was having a party with all of her friends later in the week but this party was just the three of them.

"Hi Jeff." Catie said.

"Hey sweetie come here." Jeff said. They hugged. "Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

"I missed you."

"I missed you to."

Tristan came into the living room.

"Hi Jeff." She said.

"Hi." He said. He knelt down by her stomach. "Hi you guys." He kissed her stomach. "Did you miss daddy?" "Daddy missed you." He stood up. "Ok time for presents."

Catie sat on the couch. She unwrapped Jeff's present first. It was drawing paper, pencils and colored pencils.

"Cool." Catie said.

"Do you like it?" Jeff asked

"I love it." "Now I don't have worry about filling up all my notebooks." "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Ok time for mommy's present." "Close your eyes." She did. A few seconds later she felt something crawling on her lap. "Open."

When Catie opened her eyes she saw a golden retriever puppy. "A puppy!" She said excitedly. "Mommy thank you."

"You're welcome." "It's a girl puppy."

"I'm gonna name her Trixie."

They all went into the kitchen for cake. Tristan and Jeff sang happy birthday.

"Ok make a wish." Tristan said.

"I wish mommy and Jeff would get back together and that they get married." She thought. She blew out the candles.

"Did you get your wish?" Jeff asked.

"I don't know." Catie said. "I have to wait and see."

Boys or girls? Names?
