The next week Jonesy spent working and he visited Jo every spare moment that he had.
Jo was booked in for an ultrasound to check on her baby for Tuesday and Jonesy agreed to be with her when it happened. He had the day off work to spend with Jo so he could be at the ultrasound with her.
"Morning Jo. Ready for the ultrasound?" Jonesy asked when he walked in. Jo was doing much better than she was a week ago.
"Not really. But I'm glad you're here."
"Yeah…I am too." He smiled. "I didn't really want to miss this…after all that is my little niece or nephew you're carrying." Jonesy laughed.
"I knew you would come." Jo smiled.
"So what time is the appointment?" Jonesy asked.
"In about 20 minutes. Are you as nervous as I am?" Jo asked.
"Why should you I nervous? It's not even my baby." Jonesy laughed.
"I know but I wish it was." She mumbled.
"What was that?" Jonesy asked.
"Oh nothing." Jo replied.
"Come on. You can tell me."
"You really want to know?" Jo asked.
"Of course I do. You can trust me remember."
"Ok fine. I said that I wished it were your baby. Things would be a whole lot less complicated if it were."
"That may be the case…but no matter what happens PJ will always be the father of your baby Jo." Jonesy reminded her.
"I know…I really miss him Jonesy." Jo was almost in tears.
"Then why don't you talk to him?"
"I cant…he said he didn't want kids Jonesy…and I don't want to ruin his life…"
"You wont Jo…if he loves you he'll understand."
"Yeah but I'm not too sure he does understand. Maybe if he thought I was with someone else…then maybe he would admit how he really feels." Jo suggested.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well…maybe you could pretend that we're together…and see how he reacts…"
"I don't know Jo…I cant do that…I'm sorry but you're my best friend…it would just be way too weird."
"It doesn't matter. It was a stupid idea anyway. So are we going to go or not?" Jo started getting out of the bed. Jonesy grabbed the wheelchair that was next to the door.
"I don't need it. I can walk you know." Jo cried.
"Well ok. If you're sure."
"I am sure. Now let's go before we're late." Jo started walking along the corridor leaning on Jonesy for support. Neither of them knew it at the time but PJ had followed Jonesy to the hospital and was spying on him and Jo. He wanted to know what was going on. He followed them all the way to the Radiology ward where Jo was now lying in a bed next to an ultrasound machine.
"OK I'm just going to pull up your gown and we can get started." The doctor told Jo.
"Thanks for doing this Jonesy."
"Well I can't very well leave you alone can I." Jonesy smiled at her.
"Are you the father?" the doctor asked.
Jonesy looked at Jo then at the doctor then back at Jo. Jo could see PJ in the corner of her eye so she grabbed Jonesy's hand.
"Yes he is!" Jo cried before Jonesy could say anything.
"Well then let's get started." The doctor pulled up Jo's gown and grabbed the tube of gel. "Now this is going to be cold ok."
"OK." Jo replied. The doctor squirted some gel onto what used to be Jo's tiny stomach, which was now beginning to show signs of growth in her 14th week.
"Ooh that tickles." Jo cried as the doctor started the ultrasound.
"Well would you look at that? We have two little feet with ten little toes and over here we have another two little feet with ten little toes." The doctor told them.
"Does that mean…?" Jo asked.
"It certainly does. Congratulations guys. You are going to have twins."
"This is amazing." Jonesy kissed Jo on the cheek.
PJ could feel his face growing red…how could Jonesy do that to him? His best mate had slept with the woman he loved and now she was pregnant with his children.. He couldn't stand it anymore. He walked out of the hospital in disgust.
Meanwhile back in the ultrasound room…
"And there are their hands. And two little heads."
"Wow this is so amazing." Jo cried.
"Yeah I know." Jonesy replied.
"Do you want to know the sex of your children?" The doctor asked.
"Yes." Jo said.
"Well if you're sure." She looked at Jonesy.
"Of course I am." Jo beamed.
"Well then congratulations. You are going to be the parents of two healthy little girls."
"Girls!" Jo cried. "I'm going to have two little girls."
"Well I guess I've always wanted to have a daughter…" Jonesy smiled.
"Now you've got two of them!" Jo replied.
