Ch.6
It was three months later. The two of them had been able to get along without their parents help so far. Before they found out that she was pregnant, the two both had jobs and had saved up enough money. But, they were slowly running out of the money. They were down to only $250.00. It was 1:00 in the afternoon. He was sitting at the kitchen table, counting the money and trying to figure things out.
"Hey Chris," she said, walking in.
"Hey. How was the store?" he asked, smiling at her.
"Oh, it was so much fun. You will never believe what I found," she said, opening the bag and pulling something out. It was a white onesie that had said, 'Daddy's and Mommy's Angel' in blue letters. He just smiled.
"Ok," she said, "What's wrong?" He sighed.
"We're running out of money. We're down to $250 dollars," he replied.
"What? How is that possible? I thought that we had enough to make it for another 3 months," Bianca said, confused.
"So did I. But, I think that I added something up wrong when I first counted the money," he said.
"Ok, so we'll both get jobs," she said.
"Oh, no. I'll get another job. You just stay here and relax and take care of yourself and our baby," he said, standing up and wrapping his arms around her waist. They stood there and looked each other on the eyes, before kissing.
"Oh, I have to show you something now," he said, as he grabbed her hand and lead her to the room that they said would be the nursery.
"Ok, tell me what you think," Chris said, before opening the door. She stared in amazement as she looked around the room. The walls were painted a bluish color and had little animals painted on it. The ceiling looked like the sky during a beautiful summer day. The floor had a white carpet that had little hints of pink, purple, and blue in it. The light wooded crib was on one side of the room, with the matching changing table next to it. The matching dresser was next to the door, and the matching rocking chair was set so they could rock their baby and look outside at the same time. There was a white shelf above the dresser that had the first sonogram of their baby. The crib was all ready, with the sheet on the mattress, and the light blue baby blanket that Chris took from his parent's house. He had found it when he was getting his things the day they left. There were also 5 stuffed animals in the crib, while a mobile of little bears hang on the side of the crib.
"Oh, it's beautiful," she said.
"You like it?" he asked, smiling.
"How did you find time to do this all?" she asked.
"What did you think I did every time you went to the store," he replied, his smile getting bigger. They spent the next two hours, sitting on their couch, talking and laughing, and trying to come up with baby names.
"What do you think about Isabel for a girl and Alexander for a boy?" she asked.
"Well, I like Isabel, but I'm not too keen about Alexander. How about Chris? We could always name him after me," Chris said, which caused her to laugh. He smiled as she laughed. He loved to she her laugh and smile.
"Now, I have some ideas for names," he said.
"Ok, what are they?" she asked, looking up at him.
"How about Marie Isabel?" he asked, saying her middle name.
"You want to give our baby my middle name?" Bianca asked, surprised.
"Yes, I do," he simply answered.
"Ok, I think that's a good idea, but I also like the name Elizabeth. Anyway, we have a doctor's appointment," she said, as they stood up. Half an hour later, they were waiting in the doctor's office.
"Hi Bianca, Chris Are you two ready to see your baby?" Mrs. Morgan, their doctor, asked.
"Yes, we have been waiting to see him," Chris said.
"Hey, how do you know it's not a girl," Bianca said to him. He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Do you two want to know the gender?" Dr. Morgan asked.
"Yes," they both said.
"Ok," she said, as she turned on the sonogram machine.
"Well, Bianca. It looks like your right. You two are having a little girl, that looks like she'll be joining her sister," Dr. Morgan said.
"Twins?" Chris asked, both completely shocked.
"Yes, didn't you two know?" she asked. They both shook their heads.
"Well, it's true. You two are having two little girls," Dr. Morgan said, before printing out a picture and scheduling the next appointment. They sat there, staring at the picture.
"Twins," Chris said again.
"Chris, you already said that," Bianca said.
"I know, but it seems so much more real and better when I say it again. I can't believe it. We're having twins. Do you know how great this is?" he asked, excited. She just looked at him.
"Great? How is this great?" she asked. He just looked at her, before she smiled.
"This is amazing. Now, we get to share our love between two and not just one," she replied, as they hugged.
They had gone out that night, because he wanted to surprise her. It wasn't that much of a surprise though. He had brought her to P3, his mother's club. He knew, that because today was Sunday, that his mother and father wouldn't be there. Every Sunday, they spent the day alone. He did have a surprise for her though.
"Chris, what are we doing here? It's you mother's club. We shouldn't be here. I don't want anything to happen to you, me, or the babies," she said, scared.
"It's ok. Nothing's going to happen. I won't let it," he replied. They got in and went to a table to sit. After 5 minutes, he got back up to go get them both something to drink. He walked up to the bar and stood there, trying to get the guy's attention.
"Excuse me, can I get two waters?" he asked. The guy quickly turned around when he heard that voice.
"Chris?" he asked.
"Matt?" he asked, shocked.
