Chapter 5 ~ The Doctor Visit
A Month Later...
~~~~~~~~~~
"Really?!" Philip questioned as he stared at the sonogram.
"Yes, you will be delighted to know that..." the doctor was cut off by the intercom.
"Dr. Bader, your next patient is here," the nurse announced.
"I'll be right there. I have another patient, but the nurse will be in in a moment," Dr. Bader said, turning around and leaving the room.
"I can't believe it," Mimi smiled as she looked at the sonogram screen. "Twins! We're having twins, Philip!" she said looking up at him and kissing him.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Dr. Bader will be in in just a minute. She's with another patient now," the nurse said leading Belle and Shawn into the exam room.
"Hello," Dr. Bader said entering the exam room. "How are we today, Belle?" she asked as she walked over to the table where Belle sat.
"I'm doing good," Belle smiled.
"If you'll just lay back, we'll get a look at the baby," Dr. Bader said as Belle laid down on the table and lifted her shirt.
Shawn smiled down at Belle as she grabbed his hand and they looked at the sonogram.
"Do you hear that? That's your baby's heartbeat. And right there is your baby," Dr. Bader said pointing to the screen.
"Shawn, it's our baby," Belle cried as she looked up at him and he kissed away her tears.
"You have a perfectly healthy baby. I'll give you a minute alone. It's a really busy day here today. The nurse will be in in a moment," Dr. Bader said as she turned to leave.

"Mrs. Black, I'm glad your husband brought you in. You are about two months pregnant," the doctor said entering the room with Chloe's test results.
"Oh my goodness!" Chloe said beginning to cry. "I have to go tell Brady!"
"You can go now, Mrs. Black."
With that Chloe got up and left the room and went into the waiting room where Brady was waiting. She suddenly noticed that Philip, Mimi, Shawn, and Belle were also there.
"How'd everything go, baby?" Brady asked standing up, noticing Chloe's tears.
"We're gonna have a baby!" Chloe said as she threw her arms around Brady's neck.
They got congratulations from everyone around, including people they didn't now. The six of them made their way out of the doctor's office.
"Guys, I'm not sure about tonight," Chloe said as they walked out the doors. "How about we do it sometime next week?"
"I agree," Mimi yawned, still not removing her smile. "I'm really tired today."
"Me too, but before I go home and take a nap, I want to know what has put that ridiculous grin on your face," Belle said, smiling at Mimi's grin. "What did you find out today?"
"We've been friends too long, Belle," Mimi laughed.
"Fill us in," Chloe begged.
"Well, we found out today that we're having twins," Mimi shrieked.
"That's great," Chloe and Belle said at the same time and both ran to hug Philip and Mimi.
"Congratulations, guys," Shawn said walking over and hugging Mimi.
"It's what you've always wanted," Brady said, hugging Mimi also.
"Yeah, I know," Mimi smiled back.
"Well, guys, sorry to break this up, but Mimi, honey, we have to get home to David. I promised Francis she could have the afternoon off," Philip said.
"We'll see you guys later," Mimi said as she took Philip's hand and followed him to the car.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you okay?" Philip asked, glancing at Mimi and then back to the road. "You haven't said a word since we got in the car."
"Yeah, I'm just thinking," Mimi said, looking out the window.
"About what?"
"About our babies," Mimi said, turning and looking at him. She placed her hand on his knee.
Philip took one hand from the steering wheel and put it on Mimi's.
"It's amazing isn't it?" Philip asked.
"What? The fact that we're finally having a baby. Yeah, it is," Mimi smiled and turned her attention back to the window.
"You know, if you'd told me fifteen years ago that I'd be happily married with a son and two babies on the way, not to mention married to the love of my life, I wouldn't have believed you," Philip said, glancing at her once again.
A tear fell down Mimi's cheek as she turned to look at him.
"What's the matter, baby?" Philip asked. noticing the tear.
"Nothing. I'm... I'm just so lucky to be married to you. I love you, Philip," Mimi said, wiping away the tear.
"I love you, too, and you know what, I'm taking the rest of the day off to stay at home with you and David."
"It's been so long since we've spent an afternoon just the three of us," Mimi said as they pulled into the driveway.

"Belle, what's the matter?" Shawn asked as he noticed Belle clinch her stomach.
"Nothing, I guess I've just got a stomach ache or something," Belle said, ignoring the piercing pain in her side.
"Maybe you should go to the doctor or something," Shawn said, getting concerned about his wife.
"It's nothing. I'm just gonna go lie down in the bed for a little while," Belle said standing up and grabbing her side as she did.
"Are you sure nothing's wrong?"
"Positive," Belle said cringing at the pain, but forcing a smile on her face.
"Belle, being stubborn is not going to make you feel any better," Shawn said noticing her look.
"Shawn Douglas Brady, don't you dare call me stubborn again," Belle said, turning and walking up the stairs.
"Belle, honey, what's wrong?" Shawn said as he looked at the staircase to watch Belle grab hold of the banister and lower herself to sit on a step, all the while clinching her stomach.
"You're not gonna get out of it this time, Belle, I'm taking you to the hospital," Shawn said as he walked over to the stairs.
"I'm not complaining, Shawn. Take me to the hospital," Belle cried between the pain.
Shawn picked her up and immediately carried her to the car and drove to the hospital.
