"Oh! Look at you! You are so gorgeous pregnant. You have the glow," Hazel screeched, running up to me. She hugged me, putting me in a death lock.
"Hey. Great to see you guys too."
"Hazel was dieing to come see you two." Chris said, chuckling.
"Well, mostly Raven. Look at her Chris, isn't she adorable." She was rubbing my belly, admiring me some more. They stayed for breakfast, and then Hazel said she wanted to go shopping for more clothes. I just smiled and let her continue. We finally had them leave after lunch, I was somewhat tired, after being woken up like that.

Finally, the day I have been waiting for. Garrison and I got in the truck to go the doctor's office. I had butterflies all in my stomach. I didn't each much that morning, for I felt as if I was going to be sick.
"Now, when we get there, I'll answer all the questions." I just shook my head, not turning to look at him. we turned into a parking lot. The building was plain white, a typical doctor's office. I got out of the car, and grabbed Garrison's hand. I was so nervous.
The lady behind the desk looked up when the door opened. She plastered a smile on. We walked up to the counter.
"Hi, this Is Raven Riley. She's here to see Dr. Johnson." Garrison said politely.
"Oh yes," She said looking down at her notes, "please, come with me." She got up from behind the desk, opening up a door for us. She pointed us to a room that was small and plain. "Dr. Johnson will be right in. Please make yourselves comfortable." I shook my head, and went to sit on the bed. The doctor came in. he walked over the Garrison, shaking his hand.
"Garrison, how are you doing?" He seemed nice enough.
"I'm good Leroy. How about you?"
"I'm great. Everything's grand." He turned to me. "You must be Raven." I shook his hand also.
"Yes sir."
"Please lie back. how far along do you think you are?"
"Well, I'm thinking approximately two months."
"Let's take a look at the baby." He pulled out the ultrasound machine. A few moments later, the image of what was inside my stomach appeared. I took a deep breath, my heart soaring. "Well, as you can see, they are seemingly healthy." I had tears in my eyes, threatening to spill over.
"They?" Garrison's voice repeated.
"Of course, as you can see here, when I move to this side, there is another baby. It explains why she is so large."
"Twins." I said again, smiling at the word.
