A couple days later Cody and Chelsea were at the doctor's getting an ultrasound done to check for any abnormalities. They were both really nervous but they had promised each other no matter what was coming their way they were going to embrace it and face it. Chelsea was laying on the table waiting for the tech to begin the ultrasound while Cody sat on the other side of the table holding her hand. The tech flipped on the ultrasound machine and pulled out the wand. He put a condom on it to prepare it for the ultrasound. "Just relax," he said to Chelsea as he inserted inside of her. She winced and held Cody's hand tighter. "Let me just find the baby," he said looking at the screen as he moved the wand around. "You're really showing," he said as he looked for the baby. "How far along are you?"

"About 13 weeks," said Chelsea as she held Cody's hand. "I think I'm really big too."

"I think you're beautiful," said Cody with a smile as he kissed her hand.

"Well," said the tech, "If I am seeing this correctly I would say that you're having twins."

"What?" Asked Cody and Chelsea together.

"Yes, twins," he said. He pointed to the screen and said, "here is baby A and right here is baby B. Do you see the two amniotic sacs?"

"So you're telling me I am having twins?" asked Chelsea.

"Yes," he said, "congratulations."

"Thanks," said Chelsea. She didn't know how to feel about that. "Twins," she said looking at Cody. "We're having twins."

"I see," said Cody. "Can you tell us what they are and are they identical?"

"Since they are in two different sacs they are fraternal twins. And Baby A is allowing me to see some of their parts. This is just a guess not a confirmation but it looks like Baby A is a girl. Baby B I can't tell."

"So we're having a girl?" asked Chelsea.

"It looks that way," said the tech, "but like I said it's not a confirmation. You will know for sure at your 20 week appointment."

"Okay," said Chelsea. "Wow. Twins."

"There is only two right?" asked Cody.

"There is only two," said the tech as he went on with his work. "Just two so you can relax."

"Okay," said Cody breathing a breath of relief.

The tech continued on with the ultrasound and NT scan to search for abnormalities to both babies. Cody and Chelsea were very surprised at what they had learned at this visit. They were not prepared to hear that they were having twins. They let it sink in on their way over to Dave's and Alex's house but as they arrived they were more than excited to have been blessed with two little babies.

When they arrived at the house Dave and Alex were in the living room watching T.V. They welcomed them in and asked how their appointment went. "So how was the NT scan?" asked Alex.

"It was good," said Chelsea with a smile as she looked at Cody. "It was really good."

"What's the smile about?" asked Alex.

"Well," said Chelsea, "they found something while they were doing it."

"Found something?" she asked worried. "What did they find?"

"Relax," said Chelsea, "it's nothing to be worried about."

"Then what was it?" asked Alex.

"Well," she said, "Cody and I are having twins!"

"Twins!" said Dave, "you two are having twins?"

"Yes, Dad," said Chelsea with a smile. "Twins."

"Can you handle twins?" asked Alex.

"I'm sure I can manage," said Chelsea.

"And I will be there to help. We can do this."

"And the tech is guessing that one of them is a little girl," said Chelsea.

"Aww, wonderful," said Alex, "I'm happy for you. You know twins run in our family."

"I figured," said Chelsea with a smile. "I mean Nona was a twin and you had twins. I didn't expect to be the one to have twins but God has blessed us."

"Are they identical or fraternal?" asked Alex.

"Since they are in two different sacs the tech said they are fraternal. He said one could be a girl and one can be a boy or they can both be girls."

"Jordyn and Josiah are fraternal twins and very much the opposite of one another," said Alex. "Josiah is a straight A student, doesn't give us any trouble, always willing to help and doesn't get into trouble. Jordyn on the other hand doesn't go to school, she always seems to find trouble and she's never home."

Chelsea knew that Jordyn's behavior broke her mother's heart and she felt bad for her. Jordyn was never raised to act the way she did but somehow she was a juvenile delinquent. "I'm sorry, Mama," she said.

"It's okay," said Alex.

"Have you heard from her at all?" asked Cody.

"No," said Alex. "We haven't heard from her at all."

"I'm sure you will eventually," said Chelsea.

"I hope so," said Alex. "I hate what she's doing to her life. She's so young. She is just 15. I never raised her to be like this. I never expected this to happen but now it doesn't matter. We've lost her. We have completely lost her."

"You didn't lose her," said Chelsea, "I'm sure she will be back. And when she comes back make sure she gets the help that she needs."

"Enough about Jordyn," said Dave as he saw Alex was on the verge of tears. "So do you have any names picked out for your babies?"

"Nope," said Chelsea, "but I really do like the names Abigail and Leilani for a girl. Boy names I like Atticus and Gatsby."

"Atticus and Gatsby," said Alex shaking her head. "My little literature queen."

"I know," said Cody, "we are not naming a son Atticus or Gatsby. I like Garrett and James for boys and for girls I really like Heather and Laurel."

"Heather and Laurel are beautiful names," said Alex. "I really like Heather. It's just a name that you don't hear too much anymore. Heather used to be really popular when I was growing up. Now all you hear is Emma, Sophia and Isabella for girls. I'm not saying those names aren't pretty it's just they are really popular."

"I think Heather and Laurel are beautiful names too," said Dave, "I like Abigail as well."

"I think Abigail is beautiful," said Chelsea.

"It is," said Alex, "but you two have plenty of time to decide."

"Yeah we do," said Chelsea. "Lots of time."

"So are you two excited?" asked Dave.

"I guess," said Cody, "it's just now sinking in that we're having two instead of one."

"It takes a while," said Dave. "Trust me it takes a while."

"Says the man that fainted when he found out I was pregnant with twins when it came to Jordyn and Josiah."

"I love hearing that story," said Chelsea. "Dad, you passed out a lot. You passed out during my birth."

"There was a lot of blood and it was just too much," he said. "I just got overwhelmed."

"Cody, are you going to pass out during my labor?" asked Chelsea.

"No," he said. "I can handle it."

"Dave is just a whimp when it comes to that stuff," said Alex with a smile.

"I am not," he said. "So Cody you didn't faint when they told you it was twins?"

"No but I thought I was going to. It was shocking."

"I bet," said Dave with a smile, "but you'll get used to it."

"And you two are going to make wonderful parents," said Alex, "so you have nothing to worry about. What about abnormalities?"

"He told us we would have the results in a couple days," she said. "I'm crossing my fingers everything is okay with them."

"I'm sure they will be," said Alex.

"And if not it doesn't matter. They will be loved no matter what," said Chelsea.

A couple days later Chelsea and Cody were sitting in the living room looking at baby stuff in a catalogue when the phone rang. "I'll get it," said Chelsea as she got up to get the phone. "Hello," she said. "Yes," she said. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Okay. Thank-you for calling," she said before hanging up the phone.

"Who was it babe?" asked Cody.

"It was the Doctor," she said as she walked back over to sit down next to Cody.

Cody knew something was wrong by Chelsea's body language and by the look on her face. "What's wrong?" he asked closing the catalogue. "What did the doctor say?"

Chelsea had tears burning in her eyes and said, "he has the results of the NT scan."

"And?" asked Cody. "What did he say?"

"Well, he said Baby A is looking wonderful. He said that there were no abnormalities and that Baby A has a 1 in 2,000 chance of Down syndrome," she said before a tear fell from her eye.

"Well, that's good. Why are you crying? What about Baby B?" he asked.

"Baby B didn't look so good," she said. "The doctor said they found a few abnormalities and he also said Baby B has a 1 in 5 chance of Down syndrome. He said more than likely Baby B will have down syndrome."

"Oh," he said, "that's okay Chelsea. Everything will be fine."

"He wants us to come in to do more tests," she said as she started to cry.

"Don't cry, Chelsea," he said. "Everything will be fine. Remember we are going to embrace this. This only means that baby B is even more special to us. We will be okay."

"I know but it's just.. I don't know," she said as she laid her head on his chest.

"We can do this," he said. "Don't worry. We will get through this," said Cody as the doorbell rang. "I'll go get that."

"Okay," said Chelsea sitting up and letting him get up to get the door.

Cody walked to the front door and opened it to see Jordyn standing there. Her clothes were torn, her hair was a mess and she was a mess. "Jordyn?"

"Where is Chelsea?" she asked.

"Follow me," said Cody as he let her. He led her to the living room and said, "we're having a tough day so don't do anything to make this worse."

"I'm here to see my sister," she said as they reached the living room.

"Chels," said Cody, "you have a visitor."

Chelsea looked up to see Jordyn standing in the doorway of the living room. "Jordyn?"
