Chapter 18: Complications?

Dougie´s POV:

Maria agreed to come with me back to London and just days later we flew there. As we got out of the airport I realized that I didn´t know where we could stay. I´d sold my apartment as I left and Maria had sold her apartment as she moved in with me. Maria looked at me and laughed. I hadn´t heard her laugh in so long that it felt weird but still wonderful as I heard it. Since we couldn´t stay in the airport all night, I called Harry to ask if we could stay there until we got our own apartment. None of the guys actually knew about Maria´s pregnancy yet and we planned on hiding it for a while.

That plan got ruined real quickly. Harry got suspicious of all the times that Maria was hanging over the toilet throwing up every morning and by all the food that she ate. And the confirmation of his suspicion was when Maria started showing a little baby belly when she was 1 and a half month along. Of course at the time he didn´t know it was a baby belly. Harry had apparently told Danny and Tom and Tom had told Gio who had confronted Maria about the rumour. Maria had acted surprised and confused at first but as Gio mentioned all the facts behind the rumour, she had to give in.

I was sitting in the living room watching some boring game and mostly listening to Maria and Gio´s conversation in the kitchen. I heard Gio´s voice then say something about the baby, but I couldn´t hear more than just a mumble besides that. I stood up and sneaked closer to the door so I could hear. "Don´t you think it´s just a little strange?" Gio asked and I couldn´t help but wonder what she might think was strange about our baby. I sneaked closer careful not to make a sound. "Can´t you see it?" she asked when Maria didn´t say anything. Maria still didn´t answer and I was starting to get worried for her. What was wrong? "Don´t misunderstand this please…but you´re only three months pregnant and you´ve grown as much as I had grown when I was 5 months along," Gio said and then I realized it too. Maria had started to show more than she did the last time. Gio ended the conversation with the request that Maria should see a gynaecologist.

The next day Maria told me that she was going out for lunch with Gio. As she drove off I started wondering if she´d made that doctors appointment that Gio had told her to make. I kept worrying about this until Maria finally came home. I hadn´t heard her come in the door so I was startled as she stood right in front of me. She put her hand on my shoulder and sat down beside me. "What´s wrong?" she asked in her soft voice and looked at me. I lifted my head up and looked at her taking in her expression. "Nothing," I lied and looked away slightly. She let it go and stood up. She sighed and then whispered something incoherent. I must´ve looked very confused and I was. But I was also worried. Maria suddenly looked very serious. "There´s something that you need to know," she said and sighed. I sighed. "Is it about the baby?" I asked and hoped that she would say that it wasn´t. "Yes," she said and I sighed again. "Is everything okay?" I asked the worry back again. "Yeah, everything´s fine," she told me and I was relieved. "But you really shouldn´t say baby, you should rather say babies," she said and I nodded a little spaced out. Then I suddenly realized what she had said. "Twins?" I asked with a big smile on my face. She nodded and I stood up and pulled her into a tight hug. This was great news.
