Chapter 7: An Afternoon Visit

Matt Camden walked through the halls of Glen Oak hospital towards his office. It was his lunch break, and he was grateful for it. Today, he had been exceptionally busy. This morning alone, he had delivered 4 babies (including a set of twins), given 5 check ups and been called in to supervise one emergency C-Section. He turned the corner and entered his office. To his surprise, Sarah sat on his desk with a basket in her hands.

"Hey you" She greeted him. He smiled and put down his things. She got up and walked over to him, putting her arms up around his neck. "Are you surprised?" She kissed him.

"Yes, I'm surprised! What are you doing here?" He asked her with a laugh. Rarely did his wife ever visit him at work. She was a pediatrician at the doctor's office across the street, but they were both so busy, that seeing each other was not a regular occurrence.

"Well, my 11 o'clock cancelled, and it's been really slow today, so no one else took the appointment. Which means…," She paused for effect. "I have two hours for lunch today, and that means…, "She paused again, "I can come visit you." Matt leaned down and kissed his wife. He stopped, however, when someone cleared their throat. Matt pushed his wife back immediately. He was less than pleased to see his boss, the maternity ward coordinator, standing in his door, eyebrow raised.

"Mr. Kile! Hey!" He stuttered nervously. "What can I do for you?" The middle aged man rolled his eyes.

"Hello Matt," He shifted his eyes to Matt's wife, "And hello, Sarah, nice to see you." Sarah blushed. "Mr. Camden, we've been trying to reach you for the last 10 minutes about one of your patients…is there a reason you're not answering your phone?" Matt frowned.

"Well, sir, I never heard it ring…" He turned and looked at his desk. To his dismay, he saw that the phone was off the hook, dangling off the side of the desk. "Oh, Sarah, you must have knocked it off the receiver when you were up there." He said, sounding slightly irritated. Mr. Kile again raised his eyebrows.

"Excuse me?" He asked, looking at the two of them unapprovingly. Suddenly, Matt gasped.

"No! No! Mr. Kile, it's not like that! Sarah was just sitting on my desk when I came in to surprise me, that's all." His boss eyed him suspiciously for a moment, then laughed.

"All right. Any way, you patient, an Alyssa Jacobs, has been calling she needs some advice. It would be wonderful if you could take a moment to call her. Jennifer at the main Maternity desk has the number for you. "He said and turned to leave. "Oh," He turned back for a moment. "And please, behave yourselves, you too." He added sarcastically, then left. As soon as he shut the door, Sarah burst out laughing. She buried her face in her husband's chest. He laughed too.

"Hold on, I have to call Alyssa back, she's 8 months pregnant. I don't want to leave her hanging." He laughed. Sarah's eyes widened and she pushed her husband towards the phone.

"Yes, call her now. When you're that far along, you want your questions answered NOW and not a moment later. I remember." They laughed and Matt reached for the phone. After answering Alyssa's question, he turned back to his wife. She smiled and ran over to the desk where the basket she had was still sitting. She held it up with a smile.

"I brought us lunch. Let's eat in the park." She suggested. There was a park next to the hospital for young patients, or the children of older patients to play in. There was a playground, and grass out in every direction that seemed to go for a mile. Matt agreed and they started for the door. Once they got to the park, they chose a tree to sit under and Sarah spread out their picnic blanket. She opened the basket and pulled out two roast beef sandwiches and a bag of chips. Matt reached in and got a bag of grapes out. They began to eat happily, enjoying each other's company, and rarity of a week day meal just the two of them.


Anna reached for David's hand as she sat on the small table at her OB/GYN's office. As of two weeks ago, she was 4 months pregnant, and it was time for her check up. Dr. Stevens entered the room and smiled at the couple. She picked up her clip bored and pen.

"Hi, Mrs. Camden, how have you been feeling lately? Any morning sickness, soreness, etcetera?" She asked.

"Well, I've been having a little bit of morning sickness, you know, sort of on and off. And my ankles have been hurting a bit. My stomach just feels odd, I mean look at this." She pulled her shirt tight and her quickly growing stomach was put in display. She was definitely beginning to get round, and wasn't used to so much change. The doctor laughed.

"Now, you're about four and a half months along, so you've made it half way. Congratulations." She smiled. "Now, why don't you lie down, and we'll check out how you're doing?" She said cheerfully. Anna eased herself down and pulled up her shirt. Dr. Stevens walked over and placed her hand on her patient's stomach, pushing in various places. She preformed the rest of the check up, the turned to the Sarah. "OK, hun, everything's feeling fine. Why don't we do an ultra-sound so we can see this little one." She brought in the machine and spread an the usual freezing gel over Anna's bare skin. An image began to come up on the screen and the sound of a heart beat filled the small office. Dr. Stevens rolled her chair up to the screen and studied it carefully.

"Well, how's the baby?" David asked finally.

"Little Connor or Avery." Anna said with a smile. The doctor remained quiet for a few more moments before turning to the couple.

"The baby seems to be doing well. Would you like to know the sex of your baby?" She asked. David and Anna looked at one other, then answered "yes" in unison. Dr. Stevens smiled at them.

"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Camden, come August 11th, you'll be having a baby boy!" She announced. Before they could even express their joy, the doctor continued. "And also a baby girl." They frowned at her.

"What?" Anna asked in confusion, "Which is it?" Dr. Stevens laughed.

"Both. Congratulations, Anna, David, you're expecting twins." Anna's jaw dropped, as did her husband's.

"Twins?" David cried, and looked at his wife. "Anna, honey, we're having two!" Anna stared at the screen in disbelief.

"Connor and Avery?" Anna asked, starting to smile. "That's awesome!" David ran over to her and leaned down to kiss her. The doctor gave them a moment before continuing to speak.

"As soon as I saw you today, I began to wonder. Normally, women don't get as big as you are at four months. I'm glad that you two are happy. Now, Mrs. Camden, in the next few months, you'll be experiencing even a bit more than most women do with one baby. You will likely be very hungry, so don't forget to eat big meals, and carry some snacks with you. You're eating for three now. Secondly, women with multiples tend to experience more morning sickness up to their delivery then women carrying one child do. Now, that's not to say that you will, but just keep the possibility in mind. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Pregnancy can be a scary thing if you don't know what's going on. Don't hesitate to get in touch. They finished up the appointment, then walked out of the office hand in hand. As soon as they got outside, David stopped his wife to kiss her again. She laughed. As they walked towards their car, they began to talk about what lay ahead of them.

"Can you believe this?" David asked. "Twins obviously run in the family. First my mom had Sam and I, then Lucy had Mia and Emily, now it's our turn. And now we have all the different combinations in the family…twin boys, twin girls, and now one of each!" Anna laughed as they climbed into the car. They continued chatting excitedly all the way home, a family of four.
