Week 10
The sweetest flowers in all the world - A baby's hands. ~Swinburne
Jing-Mei pulled her shirt down over her bump as she got out of the car at Dr. Greyson's office. They were going to look at the babies' heartbeats today. She was extremely nervous. They were going to make sure everything with the babies were progressing as normal. John took her hand.
"Nervous? You look like you're going to loose your lunch." He chuckled softly.
"I didn't even keep my lunch down." She smiled, "But yeah. Nervous beyond hell." John squeezed her hand gently.
"We get to hear their heartbeats today so it's all good." He said holding the door open for his wife. Jing-Mei thanked him and walked into the office to check in. John couldn't say he was calm.
"Carter?" Dr Greyson waved them into his office. Jing-Mei smiled nervously has they walked in, "How are you feeling, Jing-Mei?"
"Like shit. Pardon my French." She smiled weakly, "My nausea. it's absolutely unbearable. It wasn't this bad with my last pregnancy."
"Remember this is times three." Dr Greyson smiled, "Try lemon slices. Those helped my wife when she was pregnant with our twins."
"Lemons slices." Jing-Mei smiled, "I haven't tried that thanks."
"And how's dad?" He looked at John.
"I'm fine. I don't have three humans inside of me." He chuckled slightly, "I guess I'm stressing slightly."
"It's all normal." Dr Greyson said getting the Doppler. "Let's see how strong those heart beats are." Jing-Mei grinned with excitement as Dr Greyson listened. He smiled softly, "They're very strong. Have a listen." He took the earphones out and loud drumming filled the room.
"That's them?" John smiled. It was a symphony to his ears. Three distinct heart beats. All had a different beat and all sounded wonderful. Dr. Greyson nodded.
"They sound perfect." Jing-Mei couldn't believe it. She loved hearing Michael's heart beat, but this was completely different. She had never heard something so wonderful. "In two appointments, we should be able to tell their sexes, if you wish to know."
"Yes thank you." John smiled. He never knew being a father, even in this early stage, could feel so wonderful. For the rest of the appointment, they discussed nutrition and excursus. The usual stuff. Dr. Greyson suggested that Jing-Mei cut back her work schedule. John helped Jing-Mei off of the table.
"Anything else?" Dr Greyson asked. They shook their heads.
` "What did your wife name your twins?" Jing-Mei asked walking out the door. Dr. Greyson smiled softly.
"Robyn Elise and Heather Grace." He said. Jing-Mei nodded.
"Thanks." She said walking out with John. They were silent for awhile as they got into the car and drove off. John looked at Jing-Mei and smiled.
"We heard our babies." He said. Jing-Mei chuckled.
"We did. That we did." She said, "Let's go see Gamma." John's face brightened even more as he nodded.

John and Jing-Mei walked into the Carter home. They both were extremly nervous and excited. John knocked gently on the door.
"Who is it?" Millicent called out.
"John and Jing-Mei." John grinned.
"Oh! Come in!" Millicent clapped her hands as they walked in, "Look at you two. What brings you here visiting an old lady?"
"We wanted to see how youre feeling." Jing-Mei smiled, sitting down in a nearby chair.
"Oh I'm fine. My physical therapist says I'm getting better everyday." Millicent said, "I can walk a lot better now, but I can only do that when he's here, so no showing off." John chuckled softly.
"Next time." John took Jing-Mei's hand, "We have some good news."
"Oh do tell." Millicent said, "I need some good enws. Your sister called me this morning and left an awful taste in my mouth."
"Like always." He chuckled, "Well, Youre going to be a great- grandmother." Millicent gasped.
"Are you serious?" Jing-Mei nodded.
"Yes and thats not even the kicker." She chuckled, "You're going to be a great-grandmother times three." Millicent's face dropped in shock. She looked at Jing-Mei's stomach.
"Triplets?" She whispered. John laughed.
"Yes, Gamma." Millicent threw her hands up in the air.
"That is wonderful!!!" She cheered. "Oh John, I knew you two would have a baby soon. Any names?"
"Well,"Jing-Mei said, "John is pretty adament about Johnathan Truman Carter the Fourth, so I agreed. We're going to stick with J names." Millicent beamed with pride.
"We have thirty more weeks, Gamma." John smiled softly, "Can you wait that long?"
"Oh, I dont know." She chuckled, "I might not be able to, but I guess I have no choice. Three great-grand babies to spoil before I die. This is the best gift I could ever recieve." Jing-Mei bit her lip to keep from crying.
"I'm glad I could give this to you, Gamma." She whispered. Millicent smiled taking Jing-Mei's hand. The Carter family had been through so much the past year and it was wonderful it was gaining three more members in the upcoming year.
