17 WEEKS

Today I have my next doctor's appointment and we get to find out the gender of the babies. Spencer will be coming with me to this appointment while the kids are in school. We are just very excited to find out what we are having so we can tell everyone and start prepping for them to arrive.

"Spence… are you excited?" I asked as we waited in the doctor's office.

"Of course… I can't wait to know what our two new additions are." He said rubbing my stomach.

"Teddy." I heard a woman say. "Please come into room 3."

I got up with Spencer right behind me and walked into our room. I sat on the table when we walked in and Spencer sat right next to me. Ah, I'm so nervous to know what we are having.

"Hello Teddy." My doctor said walking into the room. "How are you doing?"

"I'm doing good." I said smiling.

"Great… and you are seventeen weeks correct?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"Okay great… let's see how he babies are doing. Please lay down and lift your shirt up."

I did what I was told and she poured blue gel onto my stomach. She moved the ultrasound wand over my stomach and we saw the babies on the screen.

"Okay… so this is baby A and baby B is right over here." She pointed out. "Everything looks good… Now let's see if we can see what the genders are."

I looked up over at Spencer when she said that.

"So baby B looks like a…" She paused. "Looks like you are having a girl. Now let's see what Baby A is."

"Aw, a little girl Spence." I said when she said that.

"Baby A is a…" She paused trying to get a good image of the baby's junk. "Looks like you will be having one boy and one girl. Congrats."

"And what is the percentage of the genders staying like this?" Spencer asked curiously.

"It's about 98%. I would like to see you in six weeks and you will be twenty-three weeks."

"Okay thanks."

"Do you have any questions?" She asked.

"Umm…" I looked over at Spencer when she asked that. "No… I think we are good."

"Alright great… See you in six weeks then."

We walked out out of the room and made my next appointment and headed back to our car.

"We are having a little boy and girl Spence." I said full of smiles when we were driving to pick up Luke from kindergarten.

"I know… that's great." He said less excitedly.

"Is something wrong Spencer?"

"I don't know… Everything just got real. Like two babies… four kids… and we are only twenty-eight."

"How do you think I feel Spencer? I'm the one with the two babies in my stomach or I should start saying our son and daughter in my stomach and I'm scared as hell."

He took his eyes off the road for a second and looked at me and grabbed my hand when I said that and held it. "I promise we will get through this together because we are strong. If we can get through a teen pregnancy then we can get through anything."

I gave him a half smile. "You're right… but four kids Spencer… I'm going to expect you to help a lot especially since I'll be recovering from a c-section."

"You're going to have a c-section?" He asked surprised.

"Do you really think I'm going to push two babies out of my vagina Spencer? It won't be the same after that!"

He laughed when I said that. "Babe it hasn't been the same since you had Heather."

"Spencer I swear sometimes…" I trailed off.

"You sometimes what?"

"Spencer you need to learn to just shut up." I face palming myself. "And besides you don't know how hard it is to push one baby out… just imagine two."

He laughed. "You're right… Now we just need to start thinking of names."

"Okay you name the boy and I name the girl yeah?"

"So you trust me on naming our son?"

"Yes… but if I don't like it we are picking one together."

"Alright… I have to think hard on what to name him then to make you happy."

"Good boy. Now go into the school and get Luke for me."

When Spencer got out of the car to get Luke, my phone started to ring and Ivy was calling.

"Hey Ivy."

"T I'm freaking out!"

"Well I'm freaking out too. Now why are you freaking out?"

"Over planning the wedding. Raymond won't help me and is making me do basically everything."

"Aw, poor baby. You know, I basically had to plan mine on my own too while caring for a baby."

"Yeah… but you had like four years to plan it."

"Not really… But you should threaten Raymond and be like if you aren't going to help me then we won't be getting married, or better yet not be together, or just whip his ass into shape. You need to train that boy, like I have Spencer trained."

"Ha, maybe I will threaten him, but maybe not like that… But you really have Spencer trained?"

"Oh yeah… how do you think I am surviving over here with all these kids and oh girl you just don't understand."

"Ha, I think I will do that… Now enough talking about me… Why are you freaking out?"

"Well shit just got real over here. I found out the genders today."

"Aw, what is my hot mama having?"

"Ehh… I don't know if I should tell you quite yet."

"Come on T!"

"Hi Mommy." I heard Luke say as he opened the door.

"Hey Baby. How was your day?" I asked looking in the back.

"Good!"

"T, please tell me! I want to know!"

"Na, I'm keeping it a secret for a while."

"Keeping what a secret?" Spencer asked as he got back in the driver's seat.

"Babe… it's a secret so why would I tell you?"

"Spencer doesn't know yet?"

"No he does… he is just clueless."

"Ha, he is though! Like remember when …" Ivy started to crack up not finishing her sentence. "Oh my god… I just can't."

I started to crack up too because I knew what she was talking about.

"Mommy what's so funny?" Luke asked.

"Yeah Hun… I want to be in on the joke."

"It's nothing guys… I promise." I said still laughing.

"Doesn't sound like nothing." Spencer said

"Oh god T, remind me again why you are with such a clueless guy."

"You know exactly why! So why do I have to remind you?"

"Oh yeah, yeah… well I'm a go. You might be hearing from me a lot freaking out over that fucking fucktard of a Raymond if he doesn't get off is lazy ass and start helping me."

"Like I said Ivy, sexy Jessie. You know it's not too late."

"How about you go after him if you think he is all that."

I laughed more when she said that. "Oh I would… but it's way, and I mean way too late for me to but not for you!"

"Bye T." She said laughing.

"Babe seriously though, what was so funny?" He asked when I got off the phone.

I grinned at him. "Oh wouldn't you like to know."

"I would actually. Was it about me?"

"Just a little of this and a little of that."

He laughed and shook his head at me. "What am I going to do with you."
