With Arms Wide Open
Otto sat in the doctor's office, feeling unsure. The test said positive, but his stomach still felt a nervous feeling lurching in his stomach. He wondered what was taking so long. Suddenly, Sunny opened the door from the office, and walked out. Otto couldn't read her face, it was straight. The anticipation began to eat at him. He jumped up out of the seat and walked quickly over to her, grabbing her hand. "So?"
"I think we should talk about this when we get home," was all she said.
They drove home in silence.
They arrived at their apartment, and took the elevator up to the third floor. They walked down the corridor to room 386, and Otto unlocked the door, holding it open for Sunny. He closed the door behind him and grabbed her arm and walked over to the couch with her and sat down. "So, are...are we...are we going to be...parents?"
Sunny bit her bottom lip and held his hand tightly. She looked up into his eyes and smiled. "We're going to have a baby."

The news was spread all over Ocean Shores. Friends and family were ecstatic.
It had been six months, and Sunny would get the first ultrasound. She would find out what she was having.
She walked into the doctor's office with Otto. She checked in and walked back with her doctor to the ultrasound room.
Otto waited in the lobby for about forty-five minutes. The same unsure feeling came to him like the first time he had been in the doctor's office. Sunny walked out of the door, rubbing her stomach. She smiled and checked out at the desk.
When they got home, Sunny hugged Otto around the neck. "Otto, we're going to have twins! A boy and a girl, they think."
"What? Two? I'm a dad twice?" he exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes. We need to pick out names."
