Six Weeks Later
Sara lay on the examination table, Nick on a chair beside her. Her shirt was rolled up to expose her belly, which Dr. Holmes was now covering with warm gel.
Sara smiled up at Nick. She was so excited that she would finally get to see her babies.
Dr. Holmes placed the scanner over her belly and searched around until she found what she was looking for. The monitor displayed three pulsing spots, and motioning to them, she said, "Those are their heartbeats. You're going to have triplets."
Sara was ecstatic. Nick was still a bit unsure. "Are they boys or girls?" he asked.
"It's too early to tell," she replied, "but if you come back in about three months I can tell you then."
Sara was watching the monitor the whole time, and her eyes welled up after a minute. She started silently crying.
"Sara, honey, what's wrong?" Nick asked worriedly.
"Nothing's wrong," she said, wiping her eyes and sniffing. "I just can't believe that this is really happening. We're going to be parents," she said, voice full of wonder.
He kissed her. They both seemed to forget that there was another person in the room until Nick remembered.
He pulled back, a bit embarrassed. "Sorry," he said to Dr. Holmes sheepishly.
She smiled and chuckled. "Don't worry about it. I felt the same way when my daughter was born."
"You have a daughter?" Sara asked.
"Yeah. Tessa, she's fifteen. She's my oldest."
"Aww," Sara cooed.
Nick rolled his eyes. "Girls," he muttered under his breath.
She swatted him on his rock-hard bicep. "Let's see if you say that when I have your children."
"I probably won't," he said, kissing her once more. Dr. Holmes thought they were the cutest couple she'd ever seen, and she hated to break them up, but she needed to go over this.
"So, there are some special concerns with multiple births," she said.
Sara sat up and Nick leaned back as they listened to her explain the increased risk of premature birth, miscarriage, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, placental problems, and fetal growth problems. "You'll also most likely have to have a C-section," she added.
Sara was nervous, especially about the increased chance of miscarriage. Dr. Holmes reassured her that they would monitor the pregnancy very closely. This helped Sara a bit, but she was still uneasy.
They finished talking and Sara got cleaned up, and then they left the office to go home.
Author's Note: Okay, I know that that chapter was really short too (it was the shortest yet by about 400 words), but I think next chapter kind of makes up for it. And I'm going to update really quickly too. Like in ten minutes. Heartagram Lala, you get a bit of what I know you would've liked to see at the end of Chapter Thirty…I will say no more. Please review!
