Don and Jess waited in the waiting room. The babies had started kicking three days ago. They do it mostly when Don and Jess are having a conversation. The babies loved hearing their mom and dad. Jess was rubbing her left hand up and down her round belly. Her claddagh was placed on her ring finger with the heart facing toward her. Don smiled and wrapped an arm around her.
"You ready to see if we can find out what we're having?" Don asked. Jess stopped her hand and intertwined their fingers. Don's wedding band glistened in the light.
"Yeah, what about you, are you ready?" Don smiled.
"Of course, then I can get Danny to help me paint the nurseries. I think we're going to make it a party because the girls want to come, but they don't want to do anything. We could make it a baby painting party" he laughed. Jess started laughing too, until the babies started kicking.
"Say hi daddy. They're saying hi, aren't you babies. I can't wait to find out" Jess whispered in awe. Don took his arm from around her shoulders and put it on her stomach.
"Hi babies. We can't wait to meet you. Your mommy and I are so excited. Your grandparents as well as your aunts and uncles are spoiling you rotten" Don whispered.
"Flack" a nurse called. Don helped Jess stand up, then followed her to their room.
"Hello, how are we today?" the nurse questioned.
"Good, really good. The babies have started to kick and we may be able to tell what we're having today. I don't think today can get much better" Jess said excitedly. The nurse smiled politely.
"Well, congratulations. Could you please put this on and the doctor will be right in with you" the nurse said politely before handing Jess the gown and leaving the room. Don refrained from making a comment about this nurse. Jess was soon laying on the exam table and Don was talking to the babies. There was a knock at the door and Dr. Cho entered.
"All right, how is everyone doing today?" she questioned as she poked and gently pushed on Jess's stomach.
"Good and excited" Jess answered.
"Good. Well they have seemed to position themselves well, moving as they should to start to get ready for birth. Are you ready to find out what you're having?" Jess nodded. The doctor put the gel on her stomach and started moving the transducer.
"All right Doc, what are we having?" Don questioned anxiously. The doctor laughed.
"Well here's baby one. This one is a girl" she said pointing to the first baby on the monitor. "And this is baby number two, your baby boy" she said pointing to the other baby.
"Wow… one boy and one girl…" Jess breathed. She was glad they were happy and healthy.
"No, Madigan and Ryan" Don corrected. Jess's smile stretched across her face.
"All right let me go get your pictures and I'll be right back." Dr. Cho left leaving Jess wiping gel off of her stomach. Don helped her take the gown off and put her shirt back on. The doctor came back and handed Jess the photos.
"All right, there you go. Everyone is happy and healthy. Are there any questions you have for me?" she asked the couple. Don shook his head. "All right, well Jessica have you set up your C- section yet?"
"No I was going to do it when I set up the next appointment." The doctor nodded.
"Good, good, I've got to go. Keep up what you're doing and I'll see you at your next appointment." Don and Jess said their goodbyes and left the room. Jess waddled up to the receptionist's desk and made her next appointment. As they walked, well in Jess's case waddled, out to the car, Don brought up a good point.
"Are we going to tell the team?" Jess thought for a moment.
"Yeah, but I want to go shopping for girly bedding first. I love all the police stuff, but that can be for Ryan. We need stuff for Maddy."
"Maddy? Whose Maddy?" Jess looked at him incredulously.
"Maddy, it's short for Madigan, your daughter." Don nodded.
"Okay yeah, I see where you're going with it. I like Maddy, but I didn't think you would so I just kinda dropped it." Jess laughed.
"Yeah well, you'd better pick it back up again. It's your daughter's name." Don nodded and helped Jess into the car. After getting in and starting it up he turned to her.
"I'm assuming since we both have the day off you want to go look for bedding?" Jess nodded eagerly. Don laughed and started driving to the mall. When they got there, they went into Sears. Jess found a cute bedding set that had geometric pink, black, and gray squares on it. Besides the crib set she bought the lamp, valence, laundry basket, mobile, wall hangings, changing pad cover, and some extra crib sheets for both kids. She also found some cute flower wall decorations. She and Don then found the paint that they wanted for the room. Maddy's room was going to be painted in 'Coming Up Roses' and Ryan's room was going to be painted in 'Slick Blue'.
"All right we've got everything now right?" Don asked as he put everything into the car. Jess laughed.
"Yep I think that's everything. We've got cribs, changing tables, room paint, room décor, some shelves for each room, and we're using your old dressers. Anything else you can think of?" Jess asked as she counted off on her hands. Don shook his head.
"We heading home then?" Jess nodded and settled into her seat. Before they were out of the parking lot, Jess was sound asleep. Don chuckled quietly. A little boy and a little girl, how did we get so lucky?
