Sorry, it's been a long while.
Big thank you to FrankElza, who looked this over for me, I really do appreciate it.
FrankElza: Thank you for the review. Ricky certainly must be stressed.

Frozen By Fear,
Chapter 9
Sat on the bed, Ricky's eyes widened as she took in Nate's news.
"Twins?" She repeated, her voice trembling in shock.
"Yes." Nate nodded, turning the screen towards Ricky. Staring at the screen, she saw two sacs on the screen, each filled with amniotic fluid.
A hand covering her mouth as her eyes widened as she stared at the screen, containing her babies.
Nate wiped the gel off Ricky's stomach, leaving the young woman in shock.
"Ricky, I have to tell you, the risks of carrying a twin pregnancy. You could suffer a miscarriage. Or develop pre-eclampsia."
Ricky nodded, her mind spinning with all the information Nate was telling her. He handed her a few leaflets, which she put in her bag.
"Can I cope with three babies?" Ricky thought to herself as she headed for the car park with Bianca, wrapping her arms around herself for comfort as the wind picked up around them.
The journey back to the Bay was quiet for the two women, both lost in their own thoughts.
Unlocking the door, Ricky found her flat in darkness, with a note from Heath. "Case is with me, Rick. "
Setting her bag down, Ricky walked next door, to see her son.
"Hey. " Heath smiled, holding his nephew in his arms. "Scan alright, Rick?"
"I don't want to talk about it. " Ricky said, her shoulders hunched as if she had the weight of the world on them.
Thanking Heath and balancing Case on her hip, Ricky headed back to her flat. She put Case in his cot and put the kettle on, got a tea bag, and sat on the couch, getting her phone out and sending a group text, on the Whatsapp group chat Bianca had created called "Ricky's pregnancy"
After a few minutes, the trio arrived at her flat.
"What's going on?" Kyle asked.
"Kyle, give her a minute. " Bianca said, she already knew what Ricky was going to tell the boys.
Ricky took a deep breath. "Boys, I'm having twins. "
"Twins?" The boys repeated, in unison.
"Yes. " Ricky nodded.
