One month…
BLEH!
"Daph? You ok in there?" Justin asked through the bathroom door.
Daphne swung the door open and stared at Justin with a you-have-to-be-fucking-kidding-me look on her face.
"I'm fine and dandy…stupid question Justin. I've been puking for the last week. I don't think I've eaten anything other than saltines since I found out I was pregnant."
It was a stupid question. Justin knew that Daphne hadn't been feeling well for a while. She had really bad morning sickness.
Why the fuck do they call it morning sickness if she pukes round the clock? He thought as he helped her to her bed.
Justin watched as Daphne slumped down on the bed, remembering not to lie on her stomach. She grabbed the pack of saltines from the nightstand and began eating. Justin went into the kitchen and grabbed another glass of ginger ale and brought it back to her.
"Thanks Jus. If you don't mind…I kinda wanna be alone to puke in peace right now. Thanks for coming over and taking such good care of me." She said as she started to get up to walk Justin to the door.
"Where do you think you're going? You're staying right here. I know my way out. I'll call you later."
Daphne looked at him and smirked.
"Ok…I'm gonna call you in an hour. I call because I care…I swear." Justin hugged Daphne and walked out of the room. Daphne counted backwards from five and as if on cue, right when she got to one, Justin poked his head back in the room.
"Are you sure you're ok by yourself? Because I can stay…really…"
"I'm fine…leave now," Daphne said as she got out of bed and closed the bedroom door. She stood and listened to Justin shuffle around outside the door, trying to decide if he should come back in or just leave. Finally he walked away from the door and she heard the apartment door close.
"Justin. I know you're still here. I'm not stupid. I'm fine…we're fine. Now go or you're gonna be late for work!"
She waited a minute until he finally said, " damn…you're good. Ok...I'm going for real this time. I'll call you later."
After she was sure that Justin had really left, she went back over to the bed and lay down again. She put a hand on her stomach and talked to the baby.
"You'll get used to him. But believe you me kid…its gonna be a looong nine months…"
At the diner…"Excuse me. But I didn't order this. Hello? Hey you!" yelled a very unhappy guy in the booth Justin had just left.
"What? Oh…I'm sorry. I'll get your order for you right no-- " Justin said right before Deb cut him off.
"Don't worry about it Sunshine. I got it." She said as she hurried past him, tray in hand. "Here you go honey. Sorry for the mix up. Justin. Sit. Now."
She had that motherly time-for-a-lecture tone in her voice so Justin did as he was told and sat down. Once she had dropped off her orders, she came back with a cup of coffee for and sat down in the seat across from him.
"So Sunshine. What's up with you lately? You've been messing up orders left and right. What the fuck is going on?" she asked as she chomped on her gum.
" Nothings wrong Deb. I've just been a little pre occupied lately. I've got a lot of things on my mind right now." he answered.
Justin didn't mention anything about the baby because he and Brian had decided that they would tell them when they got the first ultrasound pictures. They had an appointment that was right around Deb's birthday and what better present could they give her than telling her she was going to be a grandma?
"Anything you want to talk about?"
"No. Its ok. I'm fine. I think I just need to rest for today. Can I take off early. I'll work late another day to make up for it."
"Take all the time you need Sunshine. Feel better honey."
" Thanks Deb. I'll see you later."
Month two…"Chanders, Daphne? " called the nurse from the entrance of the waiting room; " the doctor will see you now."
Daphne stood up and put her hands on her stomach. She had the beginnings of a little baby bump and Justin stood up to put his hands over hers.
" Will the baby's father be coming in with you?" asked the nurse.
Daphne turned to Brian and Justin and smiled.
"Yes…they will."
"Ok then. Follow me." Said the nurse as she led them down the hallway.
Daphne lay down on the exam table and waited for the doctor to come into the room.
"So are you sure you want to find out the sex of the baby? " Justin asked
" Yea. I'm totally sure. I always said that when I had kids I wanted to know what they were going to be. Plus I don't think I can wait nine months to find out." She answered with a laugh.
"Hello there. I'm Doctor Kelly. So are we ready to have a look at your baby?" said the doctor as she entered the room.
"Yes." They all replied in unison.
"Ok. Then lets get started. Daphne, I'm going to put a gel on your stomach so I can use the ultrasound machine ok?"
"Ok." Daphne said as she pulled up her shirt. The doctor squirted the gel onto her stomach and she gasped.
" Oh…haha...its cold." She said.
"Oh. Don't worry. It'll warm up."
When the doctor said that Brian and Justin looked at each other and smiled. Justin reached over and put his hand over Brian's gripping it tightly.
"Ok...here we go." Dr. Kelly said as she put the ultrasound tool on Daphne's stomach.
Suddenly the room was filled with the sound of the baby's heartbeat. It was the most beautiful sound that any of them had ever heard.
"Ok. Heres a leg. And that's an arm. And…would you like to know the sex of your baby?" she asked.
"Yes we would." Answered Daphne.
"Ok…congratulations. It's a little girl."
"Oh my god. It's a girl. We're gonna have a –" Justin was cut off mid sentence when he heard the tone of the doctors voice change.
"Oh…"
"Oh what? Is there something wrong with the baby?" asked Daphne worriedly.
" No. The baby is perfectly healthy. And so is her brother."
"Her what?" asked Justin and Daphne.
"Her brother. See here. Two heartbeats. Four arms, four legs. Congrats. Its twins."
"oh my god…we're having babies….."
Just a short chapter…I wanted to give you guys something…but I promise there will be more soon.
