Week 16

Dave stepped into the clinic. It still smelled brand new. he smiled running his hand over the walls. God, he loved this place. He loved where his life was right now.

"David?" A voice said behind him. Dave turned around to see an older woman. She looked familiar. He had seen her before and then it clicked in.

"Judith, hello." he said. It was Randi's mother. What kind of shit was she going to pull now? Judith smiled softly.

"Hello." She looked around the clinic, "So, this is the clinic. It's pretty nice." Dave frowned.

"Yeah. it is." he said, "So, what can I do you for? Randi is napping. She's pregnant again." Judith nodded.

"My mother wrote me and said she was pregnant again." She said. "What's this now? Number seven?"

"Five." Dave said, "Can I help you with something?"

"I need to speak with Randi. It's very important." Judith said.

"I don't think so." Dave said, "She's had a hard couple of weeks. Sailor hurt herself and she's been helping her get back on her feet."

"Her father is dead." Judith said. Dave stared at his mother in law.

"Excuse me?" Dave asked.

"Her father. he died. he was very sick. he could something down in Africa and his immune system couldn't handle it." Judith said, "I thought Randi had the right to know about it."

"Yes, she does." He said, "Follow me and I'll take you inside."

"Thank you." Dave led his mother in law into the house. The girls were running around the playroom. Judith smiled softly. God, they had gotten so big since the last time she saw pictures. She had never seen that red head before.

Dave led her upstairs to their bedroom. Randi was sleeping. Judith was startled to see how large Randi's stomach was. She though her daughter was only four months along. Dave gently shook her.

"Randi, wake up." he said softly. Randi mumbled something, "Randi, you have a visitor." He said.

"Who?" She asked.

"Hello, Miranda." Judith said. Randi sat up and stared at her mother. She was stunned to see her. It had been many years.

"Mother...What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I have to tell you something." Judith said.

"Don't." Randi said staring into her mother's eyes. Her heart stopped beating. "Where's Dad? Is he okay?"

"No. he's not okay." Judith said, "He's dead." The pregnancy hormones over took Randi and she shed a couple tears for a man she barely even liked.

"When?" She whispered.

"Last month. He got sick and...It was a long road and-"

"A long road??" Randi screeched. "It took you a month to tell me my father was dead?? First no one tells me Hannah died and now My father?"

"Randi." Dave said softly.

"It was a long road, Randi. It took me a long time to be able to leave the village." Judith said, "Everyone was devastated."

"You fly all the way back to tell me?" Randi asked.

"No." Judith said softly.

"How long have you been in Chicago?" Randi whispered.

"Almost two weeks.' She said. Randi closed her eyes. "Miranda...I know I wasn't a nice mother. I thought we agreed we were going to work on this relationship a few years ago."

"Yeah that's what we said, but you never returned my calls. You talked to Gram, but not me. You missed births of your grandchildren." Randi said.

"I know, but I'm here now. I'm back in Chicago now." Judith said, "Please don't shut me out." She put her hands on Randi's belly causing Randi to cry even more, "I love you, Baby."

"I love you too, Mother." Randi threw her arms around her. Randi sobbed into Judith's neck. Dave smiled softly and left the room to leave them alone. Maybe Judith would actually be here like she said. Randi deserved her mother to be in her life.

Week 18

Randi groaned as she leaned against her desk. She was getting too uncomfortable all ready. She was getting more and more dizzy as the days went on. This pregnancy felt so different than all her others. She was absolutely huge and the baby never stopped moving. She had agreed with Dave to wait to find the sex out but she wasn't sure if she could hold out.

"I feel you kicking my bladder, Baby." Randi chuckled softly. She hauled herself up. She couldn't wait another moment. She waddled house of the house, down the pathway, and towards the clinic. She walked in and smiled at April, "Is Dave busy?"

"No. We only had one patient and Drew had it." April said.

"Thanks." Randi walked into Dave's office, "Hey."

"Hey there." Dave grinned.

"I can't wait." She said.

"For what?" Dave frowned.

"I can't wait to find the sex out. I need to know." Randi said. Dave smirked.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to wait, Miranda." he said.

"Give me an ultrasound, Dave, now!!" Randi said.

"Are you sure?" He asked, "Because I know I want to know."

"Yes, Dave!" Randi laughed, "I need to know. I need to be able plan everything out. Like it's room and clothes and name."

"Fine. Let's go in room two." he said taking her hand. Randi had flutters in her heart. She went into the room and sat on the bed.

"I'm so excited." Randi grinned, "We haven't seen this baby yet." Dave chuckled as he rolled the ultrasound machine over.

"I know that." he said as he settled next to her, "This is exciting." Randi laid down and pulled her shirt up, exposing her large belly.

"I hope it's a boy this time." Randi said flinching as Dave put the gel on her belly.

"I'm sure it will be." he said, "I have this strong feeling like it is." Randi nodded in agreement.

"Me too." She said. Dave looked at her.

"Are you ready?" He asked. Randi took in a deep breath.

"yes." She said softly. Dave smiled and started the scan.

"All right. Let's see." He grinned brightly as he saw the heartbeat, "It's a very big baby."

"Maybe that's why I'm so big. I'm having a ten pound baby." Randi said.

"No I think-....Oh My god..." Dave croaked. Randi stared at him.

"What's wrong?" Randi asked.

"Oh...my...god." Dave whispered. The colour had drained from his face. The look on his face was scaring Randi.

"Is...Is it a b-boy?" Randi whispered. Dave looked at her and smiled.

"It's two." he said. Randi looked at him confused.

"What? Two what?" Randi looked at the screen. She couldn't read these things.

"There's two boys in there." Dave said.

"Wh-What?" Randi whispered. Dave started to laugh.

"We're having twins, Randi! Twin boys!!" he cheered.

"Oh...My...god." Randi whispered. Tears filled her eyes. She stared at the screen. Dave pointed out two healthy heart beats. Randi began to sob.

"They're healthy, Randi." he said, "We're having twin boys!!"

"OH MY GOD!!!!" Randi squealed and sat up, "WE'RE HAVING BOYS!!!!!" She threw her arms around his necka nd sobbed freely.

"God, we need to pick out two names now." he laughed.

"You can have one of them to have Harrison as their middle name." Randi wiped her eyes, laughing.

"Thank you." Dave smiled as he looked at his wife's eyes. She looked so happy. "Well since he's named after George Harrison then how about the next one's middle name is Lennon?"

"That's perfect." Randi whispered, "now we just need first names." Dave chuckled and wrapped his arms around his wife's shoulders. He was in total shock about having twins again. He was thankful that they didn't find out now. If they had found out early, Randi would have been too stressed out about loosing another twin like she did with Aaron. God, Twins.
