My Muggle Girlfriend Chapter 90 - Readings
"My- My- My-"
Kagome couldn't even talk properly. Cascades of tears ran down her face, her nose was red and swollen - and running, but George feared he would be a victim of her purification if he dared to mention it. Fred and George weren't in a better shape, the only difference between Kagome and the twins was that they hid better their emotions - the influence of a tsunami of hormones could also have been a key factor. However, if anyone could look into the mind of the soon-to-be father, they would see the multiple scenarios he was creating.
When Kagome questioned if she somehow harmed their daughter, George questioned himself if he could have harmed their daughter. What if flying so early in the pregnancy had been a bad choice? What if some magical powder from one of his products had side effects on half magical half holy children? Was it even possible for a child to be half witch half Miko? Kagome just found out about her magic, therefore she was a living example, but she also had the whole situation with the Shikon no Tama, which could have been in her favour - or not.
Mr Robinson stood by the door for a few moments, giving George and Fred a couple seconds to recompose themselves. He took off his glasses and cleaned the lenses in his shirt. He seemed used to these situations. They couldn't be the first couple to panic - he hoped; not that the shame of crying like a newborn baby in front of a stranger was any worse than seeing his beloved Kagome breaking down. George wanted to be stronger for her, but he wasn't, so he hoped his presence was just as soothing to her as Fred's presence was to him. They held onto each other in this moment of fragility.
Good five full minutes went by before Mr Robinson cleared his throat and pushed the machine to the centre of the room. He plugged the cables and turned on the switches, bringing life to the equipment. Beeps filled the room. From time to time, Mr Robinson sent a furtive glance in the twins' direction.
"I'm sorry for worrying you, Mr and Mrs Weasley. There's nothing wrong with your baby, by the way," George could almost see the waves of relief washing over Kagome, "but I went for the standby machine to be sure before I tell you anything." He grabbed that cursed phallic probe and George cringed. Fred's eyes were glued on the suggestive contraption, finally understanding what George meant earlier. "Erm," Mr Robinson cleared his throat, "well, hm, maybe the uncle should wait on the corridor."
"No!" exclaimed Kagome, "Fred can look away for a moment, right? He won't be around for long… I want him to meet his niece... or nephew."
Fred wouldn't ever admit his embarrassment-gratefulness-appreciation over the situation, and George wouldn't notice it save for the pink spots on his face. The twin turned his back to the couple, half giving Kagome some privacy, half hiding his stained cheeks.
Mr Robinson explained why they were back to the transvaginal. It seemed that there was a change in the readings, something that didn't show up in Kagome's previous appointment, neither in the records she brought from Japan. He needed to check her uterus to understand the sudden noise.
"It may be a bit uncomfortable," said Mr Robinson. Kagome's killing glare shut him up and put him to work. George could have been sorry for the man if he hadn't left so suddenly earlier. Mr Robinson adjusted his glasses and proceeded with the examination. Kagome's hand got cold and sweaty when no sound came as he moved the probe. Mr Robinson frowned. "Oh, right, I forgot to turn the sound on. Hehe. There he or she is."
The echoes and heartbeats sounded better than any song George ever heard. He tried to stay collected for Kagome's sake, but only now he could release the breath he didn't even know he was holding. George closed his eyes and honed his hearing, memorizing the beat and rhythm. Fred's hand was closed around his wrist, the tight grip comforting him.
There was a change.
A second, faint beat he didn't hear before appeared. It got faint, then loud again. George opened his eyes and watched the monitor. Kagome and Fred had also their attention focused on the screen, though Kagome's was shifting between the monitor and the technician.
"That's correct. That was no mirror reading." Were they supposed to know what that meant? "Mrs Weasley, please tell me if it hurts, okay? I want to show you something." Kagome nodded. He pointed to a second white grouping. "Congratulations, you are having not one but two girls."
"I TOLD YOU!"
I wasn't planning on updating so quickly, then I realized it's been two years since I started posting My Muggle Girlfriend! Thank you all who are reading this. I wouldn't have come so far without your continous support.
