Chapter 22 The Doctor's apt

Dr. August was waiting in her office when Pierre and Stephanie came in to see her.

"Hi there are we ready to find out something about the baby?" said.

"Yes, let's see if there are twins in here" Steph said as she patted her stomach area.

"Okay Steph lay down on the table, and Pierre if you want to have a seat next to her." Dr. August told them.

The nurse brought in an ultrasound monitor and put the gel on the scanner. "This is going to be cool gel Stephanie but it will give us a good picture as to what is going on inside you." Dr. August said.

Stephanie pulled down her stretch pants and looked at the monitor and they were all there the both of them.

The doctor pointed them out.

"Well you have a party in there. There they are twins." Dr. August said and "they look pretty good, can't tell if they are boys or girls yet but maybe for the next apt we will be able to tell" Dr. August said.

"Pierre come here for a minute" Stephanie said and then she punched him in the eye.

"Thanks I am going to get as big as a house now" Stephanie told him.

"Baby girl I will help you and you will lose everything you gain you just have to exercise and eat healthy and I will help you do that. You are not in this alone I am here with you and we will get through this together." Pierre said as he was rubbing his eye.

added, "Now you might have to go on bed rest for the third trimester because there are two of them, but we will know more for the next apt. So for now keep doing what you are doing, eating well taking those vitamins and drinking lots of water and juices." Dr. LeBlanc said as she rubbed Steph's uterus section with a towel to get the gel off of her. Then Steph and Tank left her office.

"Baby girl, remind me never to get you really ticked off at me" Pierre told her.

"I am sorry I punched you Pierre, but twins this is big, do we have enough room in our house?" Stephanie asked.

"We have four guest rooms I am sure one of them is big enough for a nursery for the babies" Pierre said.

"Now come on lets go home remember Ranger is coming over for dinner tonight so we have to get ready for that" Pierre told her and then he helped her in the truck.

They got back to the house and there was Rosa working in the house.

"Hi Rosa, where have you been I have been worried." Tank said.

"I am sorry my husband's mother was sick so I had to go and help her but I am back now and dinner is in the oven." Rosa told him.

"Rosa, I would like you to meet my wife Stephanie" Pierre told her.

"Nice to me you Rosa, you will have to show me how to cook because I don't know how to do that" Stephanie said.

"I would love to Stephanie" Rosa told her.

Just then the doorbell rang, and Rosa went to get it.

"Hello Ranger come on in Pierre and Stephanie will be with you shortly." Rosa said.

"Where have you been hiding yourself Rosa?" Ranger asked.

"My mother in law was sick. So I had to go out of town to take care of her, I did not have time to talk to Pierre about it." Rosa said and then she went to check on dinner.

Pierre came out of the bedroom. "Hey there Ranger how are you today?" Tank asked.

"Fine how was the dr's apt?" Ranger asked.

"Fine we are pregnant with twins so I am excited. Stephanie is not though." Pierre.

"I am I am just worried, about the room we have and is it going to be enough and all the money we have to spend we have to get two of everything and so on." Stephanie said as she came and sat down next to Pierre.

"Relax, I will take care of everything baby girl don't worry you just take care of yourself." Tank said and then kissed her on the cheek.

Ranger looked at the loving couple and said, "You two look so happy together. Are you happy Stephanie?" Ranger asked.

"I am very happy Ranger, I love Pierre and I will also always care for you too." Stephanie said as she took Ranger's hand.

"One of the things I love about Pierre is that he leaves Tank at Rangemen and comes home as Pierre." Stephanie told Ranger.

"I understand I guess I was not good at leaving Ranger at the office when we were together." Ranger told her.

"You just need to meet someone who can relax you. I have faith that you will find her someday." Stephanie said "Now if you will excuse me I will go help Rosa with dinner." Then Steph got up and left Ranger and Tank in the living room.

"I just have one question for you Tank and that is how close were you and Stephanie when you were dating?" Ranger asked.

"You want to know if we had sex while I was dating her and then answer is no we waited until our wedding night to have sex." Pierre told him.

"How did you get her to wait?" Ranger asked.

"It was not that hard we just took time and got to know each other first and then it was second nature for us to wait." Pierre told him.

Stephanie came back in, "Dinner is ready so let's eat I am hungry."

"You are eating for three darling that is including yourself I would be hungry too." Pierre said.

All Tank and Ranger sat at the table and dug in to baked bass, a bake potato and broccoli. Stephanie had baked lamb stuffed with peanut butter, a baked potato and broccoli. After dinner Stephanie looked at the time and put the dishes in the dishwasher. "Well this has been fun we need to do this again but I am getting tired so I am going to bed for the evening" and then she kissed Ranger on the cheek and gave Pierre a kiss on the lips and went to bed.

Ranger just noticed Pierre's eye and asked, "What happened to your eye?"

"Oh that Steph hit me in the eye when she found out that she was pregnant with twins is it turning a nice shade of blue yet?" Tank asked with a smile on his face.

"Yeah it is she did well that is my girl" Ranger told him

"Up that is our girl." Tank said a few hours later Ranger left and said, "You are back on work tomorrow so I will see you then"

"I will be there boss." Tank said and then Ranger left with a smile on his face.
