Bundles of Joy
Disclaimer: Why do I even bother writing these? Everyone knows that I do not own any characters or places or objects or . . . . . . or things that you recognize from the books or television series. I DO own: Dr. Carlson and Nancy and Susan (nurses). I will also own the first names of Lucy and Kevin's kids and Mary and Wilson's kid.
Here's Chapter Four:
~One Week Later~
Lucy, Kevin, Mary, and Wilson entered the doctor's office. Mary and Wilson had decided to use the same doctor as Lucy and Kevin because it was closer to their house. Lucy and Mary both had their follow-up appointment from the first. They both had to get more blood tests, and when Lucy was called, she dreaded going into the examining room.
"See you in a little bit, Lucy," Mary told her, as she was walking away.
"Have FUN Mary," Lucy replied, sarcastically.
Lucy entered the same exact examining room that they had been in before, and was closely followed by Kevin. The nurse, whose name was Susan, took the blood, cleaned up Lucy's arm, and sent the blood to the lab for testing, much like last time. She then handed Kevin a sheet of paper with a list of parenting classes that they could try.
Fifteen minutes later, Dr. Carlson walked into the room.
"Lucy, Kevin, I am afraid that I have some startling news."
"Is something wrong?" Kevin asked worriedly.
"Not exactly," the doctor replied in the same tone that she had used to tell Lucy that there wasn't anything wrong when she had called that night a week ago. "Lucy, we ran through your blood tests again and found that a third fetus has either developed or we missed it when we did the first blood test."
"Three babies?" Kevin asked.
"Yes, triplets," the doctor replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"They just keep multiplying, don't they . . ." Lucy said with a deep sigh.
"I also wanted to tell you that there is a possibility that you could develop even more fetuses inside you . . . up to EIGHT in fact," the doctor said, trying to sound like she wasn't worried. But, you could tell from her voice that she was.
"What is the possibility of this?" Kevin asked
"Well, you see, because she has already developed one extra fetus, the possibility is very high. This is abnormal, and depending on how many babies develop inside Lucy, the chance that one or more of the babies will die is fairly high."
"I mean, what is the possibility that she will develop more babies?", Kevin asked.
"Oh, that. She has about a 95% chance that she will, and a 5% chance that she will not. If she does develop at least one more, then the chance increases to 98%, and if it gets to be that she is having quadruplets, then there is 99.9% chance that she will have quintuplets (A/N: Quintuplets are five babies) If it gets to the point where she is having quintuplets, then the chance drops down to 70% that she will have sextuplets (A/N: Six babies). If there are six babies, then the chance increases back to 95% that she will have septuplets (A/N: Seven babies.) If she has seven, then there is a 60% chance that she will have octuplets (A/N: Eight babies). Then, the chance decreases to 2% for nine babies. This is a rare condition that only occurs when the mother has been given steroids or been taking birth control pills that are ineffective. When this occurs, it is still a 1/100,000 chance that this will occur. Did you know that some birth control pills that are out on the market actually increase the chance of becoming pregnant? It is the exact opposite of what the birth control pills that work do."
(A/N: I made up the condition and the entire % of chances to work with my plot. If it isn't very realistic, I am sorry. But, I needed to do it in order to make the plot fit.)
"So, I could have up to 8 kids, at once?" Lucy asked.
"Yes, and the more babies that you have, the less of a chance for survival of all of the infants."
~10 Minutes Later~
"Eight . . ." Lucy sobbed. "Lets not tell my parents. Let's just tell them that we are having triplets. If it increases, then we will just let them know, one baby at a time.
"I think that is a good idea," Kevin agreed.
So, they walked to their car and had a long drive home, in which Kevin and Lucy talked about how they could afford up to eight kids.
Thanks to everyone for reviewing!!! I can't tell you how much I love to receive reviews and how much I appreciate them! Please keep reviewing!
Camdengirl4ever: I am glad that you like it!!! I actually had read all of your stories before I posted mine on here. I didn't get around to reviewing them though. sorry. I am really busy right now, as I am getting ready for a week long cruise in the Bahamas followed by three days on an island, and I have to buy all new summer clothes to wear down there, because I just had a growth spurt. And there's two formal nights. I hope that I am not posting too infrequently.
Bbwholly1981- Thanks! I am glad that people like my work!
Caligurl: Thanks! I WILL continue, but starting the 17th of October, I am going on a cruise, so there will be a week and a half's delay in updates. When I come back, I will post a very long chapter or two to make up for it.
AllHart: Thanks! I will most definitely continue to write! I am just getting started with this story!!!
AthleticCharmedOne: Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long for the third and fourth chapters!
M99: I am soooo glad that people like my work! I will definitely keep writing if so many people keep reviewing!
Kelly: I am glad you like it! Thanks! I will definitely keep writing since everyone seems to like it. I will probably get the next chapter up in a couple of days or less.
SarahandMattCamden4ever: Thanks! I'll post often!
Minacle2002: Thanks! I will definitely keep it going! I am glad that you are enjoying it. There are a few reasons that I had Mary and Lucy be pregnant together, which you will find out later. I am glad that you think its neat.
