Amy looked at Rob as they entered the doctor's office. They were heading to her first ultrasound. They were still in Massachusetts. In fact, they weren't leaving until February.
"How is our baby?" he asked her. She looked at him.
"Baby is fine, it's sleeping at the moment" Amy replied as she gently caressed her belly.
"Amy, was this trip a waste of time?" Rob asked.
"No, Sweetie, it wasn't" she replied, looking around.
"Amy Dumas?" A technician called. She got to her feet with Rob's help. They followed the technician to the exam room.
"Ok, we are going to do a sonogram. One question, do you want to know what you're having?" The technician asked.
"Yes, we do" Amy replied. She looked at Rob.
"Only if it's healthy. Amy had a stillbirth about a year ago. We're trying not to get too attached to the thought of being parents" Rob added.
"It's hard, isn't it? You get so used to the idea of a little person, that losing them is even more tragic" The technician said. "By the way, my name is Julie. What do you want?"
"Me, a girl, I'm sure Rob wants a boy" Amy replied.
"No, actually, I want a girl" Rob told her. Julie dimmed the lights.
"We can see the image better. Would you mind lifting your shirt?" Julie asked. Amy lifted her shirt up around her bra.
"Whoa, you're huge" Rob commented. Amy glared at him.
"Rob, unless you want Amy to kick you out of bed, then, I'd recommend keeping your mouth shut when it comes to comments like that" Julie said.
"Sorry, Dear" Rob said, looking at her.
"Look at the screen" Julie said as the baby's heartbeat filled the room. Amy immediately noticed something odd. The heartbeat was faster than she thought it should be. "What do we have here?"
"What's wrong with my baby?" Amy asked, looking at the screen.
"Babies, Amy" Julie said. Amy looked at her.
"Babies as in twins?" Amy asked. Julie nodded. "Twins as in two babies born at the same time?"
"Yes, twins. Baby A, right here" she said, pointing to an area on the screen. "Appears to be a girl" Amy looked silently in awe. "Baby B appears to be also a girl"
"Wow," was all she could mutter. Amy looked at Rob, who was looking very pale. "Don't faint, Rob" He steadied himself quickly.
"Sorry, just a little shocked" he admitted. He looked embarrassed at the prospect of almost fainting.
"Don't be" Julie told him. He looked lovingly at the screen.
Two hours later… Amy sat down and looked at the blank page. She was trying to write a letter to her unborn children. She had done the same thing with Ireland. She was afraid if she did that then it was being too confident. She didn't take them for granted.
"My dear Desiree, You, your sister and I have been sharing a body for the last twenty weeks. I have never felt a more active baby. Even, your half sister, Ireland wasn't as active. She was semi calm, for most of the pregnancy. I feel awkward writing this. For the last few weeks ever since you've started kicking, I've been trying not to get too attached to the idea of being a mother. Don't get me wrong; you and Rhiannon are wanted, but I don't want to get attached and lose you. I don't want either of you to die, but I've learned that it only takes seconds for things to go wrong. Your name refers to "Desired Child" which is what you truly are. Approximately 16 months ago, I delivered another child; a girl named Ireland Reine. She was beautiful; she looked just like my then fiancé, Brock. She was born still. All that means is that she was born dead. It broke my heart, knowing I would never hold my precious baby. One night in a fit of grief, I walked to Charlotte, North Carolina, all the way from Raleigh. Sitting on the beach was my old friend and your father, Rob. I lived with him for 7 months before I admitted my feelings to him. You and Marielle were conceived not long after. Actually, it was about 3 months after we started seeing each other. When I saw the positive pregnancy test, my first thoughts were of pure joy and amazement. I simply couldn't believe I was pregnant again. My thoughts of joy quickly turned to panic and fear. I couldn't believe I might lose my baby. I love you so much, Little One. Every morning you greet me with a kick. It's your way of saying don't worry, Mommy, I'm still here. Each day, I worry you won't kick and I'll lose you forever. I'll never forget Ireland but that doesn't mean I'll love you any less. I honestly can't believe I'm having twins. I'm in an absolute state of shock. Twins don't run in my family, so, to discover all the activity I've been experiencing is actually the work of TWO healthy baby girls. Daddy and I, we've chosen your names with the utmost care. You will be Desiree Rose and your sister, who at the moment is hitting you or doing something, will be named Rhiannon Starr. Your name refers to "desired child". As weird as it sounds, I get the feeling you have already met Ireland. Think of it as she's up there telling Mari and you all about me. We got a good look at you two today. I was sitting there in awe of what I believe is Rhia. All of a sudden, the tech said, "What do we have here?" Low and behold, there was Desiree! Daddy was so shocked; he almost fainted! I couldn't believe I was carrying two babies. It's hard to believe. I love you, my dear. Until you enter the world, Love always, Mommy" she wrote. She quickly dabbed the tears in her eyes. She quickly folded the letter and set it in an envelope.
"Rob, do we have any brownies?" she called. He walked into the living room.
"No, but I'll run out and get some." He told her. She looked at him.
"Ok, but pick up some chocolate milk and dill pickles as well" Amy said, looking at her stomach.
"Let me guess, craving?" he asked. Amy nodded. He got to his knees and raised her shirt, exposing the flesh of her large belly. He brought his head, next to it.
"Hi, Girls, I'm your daddy. Do me a favor; be nice to Mommy's belly. I don't want Mommy kicking me out of bed, so, be nice," he whispered as he grabbed his jacket and left. Amy picked up her pen again and stared at the sheet of paper.
As if put in a trance, she picked up her pen and began to write whatever came to mind.
"My Dear Rhiannon, As I write this, you are kicking your sister in the head. I see you take after your dad when it comes to flexibility. I can't believe I'm sitting here pregnant with twins. The feeling is so amazing. Someday, my girl, you'll experience the same thing. You will sit there, married (hopefully) and then, all of a sudden, you'll feel a little miracle kick. After losing your half- sister Ireland, I learned never to doubt a pregnancy. In fact, I thought I would never have children again. Now, seeing that you are almost here, I guess I can try to calm down. I have never been more worried about anything. I've loved and lost. I've only known about your sister, Dez for a few hours and already the idea of twins is mind blowing. The responsibility that comes with one is scary, but two is unimaginable!" she wrote. She sighed as she set the pen down. She couldn't think of anything else to write, at the moment.
"Amy, it's snowing!" Nora exclaimed as she walked in with Nidia and Torrie. They had been grocery shopping.
"It is? I was writing letters to my girls," Amy told them.
"Girls? Don't you mean girl?" Nora asked.
"Nope, twins" she replied. Nora looked surprised. Rob walked in, carrying a bag of groceries.
"Pickles, chocolate milk and brownies" he said as he swept the snow out of his hair. Amy struggled to her feet and walked to the window, where she discovered a good four inches of snow and it was only getting worse.
"Looks like we're in for a white Christmas after all" Shane noted as he walked in with Matt and Jeff.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" she asked Rob. He simply nodded.
Later that night… Amy sighed as she tried to get comfortable, but her belly made it almost impossible. She struggled to her feet as she wandered into the living room. She grabbed her unfinished letter and her favorite green pen. As she balanced the clipboard on her belly, she sighed as she thought of what to write.
"As I write this, it is a true blizzard outside. We have at least a foot of snow outside. This is one of those things that I can't wait to share with you once you arrive. I love you both with all my heart. I'm writing this with the clipboard balanced on my belly. I believe you keep trying to kick it off but I'm not positive it's you; it could be Dez. Being a mother has always been a top priority for me; now, I'm so close to what I've wanted for so long. You will never lack anything, my dear girl. I love you so much. Love always, Mommy," she wrote. She folded the letter and sealed it in an envelope.
