Chapter 8- Twice as Happy

Ryan: Come on Riss, we'll be late.

Marissa: (from the bathroom) Ok, I'll be out in a second.

Marissa walks out and smiles.

Ryan: you look BEAUTIFUL!

Marissa slightly blushing as Ryan kisses her on the cheek and takes her handing leading her out of their house, opens the passenger side door climbs in himself and starts the car.

Ryan: Marissa? Have you had check-ups before this?

He asks as he pulls down the driveway.

Marissa: Yeah, at every port stop-off dad made me go for a check-up.

Ryan: So do you know anything about the baby, I mean and special details? (he says smiling)

Marissa: (smiling knowing what Ryan means) No, I told them I didn't want to know any details besides that the baby was health. I told them that I needed you there with me before we went into any details.

They pull into the clinic.

Ryan: Well we're here, you ready?

Marissa leans over and takes Ryan's hand.

Marissa: Definitely, I have you and that's all I need

Marissa is laying on the bed, Ryan standing besides her as the doctor does the ultra-sound.

Dr. Lucas: So Marissa, how much do you already know?

Marissa: Well besides that baby is healthy, nothing. I was away an I wanted Ryan to be with me before I knew anything else. Why, is something wrong?

Dr. Lucas: No, No everything is fine.

Dr. Lucas turn the monitor so that both Marissa and Ryan can see the baby.

Dr. Lucas: Ryan and Marissa, I would like to you to introduce you to your baby girl.

Marissa squeezes Ryan's hand as a tear falls from both of their eyes.

Dr. Lucas: And this here (he says pointing to another section of the monitor) is you second baby girl.

Marissa & Ryan: Our what?

Dr. Lucas: Your second baby girl, you're having twin girls.

Ryan leans down kissing Marissa.

Ryan: Hey mommy, looks like we have an instant family. (he says with a huge grin on his face)

Marissa: (placing her hand on her belly) hello in there my precious little girls.
