I'm so nervous. Today I would have my ultrasound that would tell us whether I was having a boy or a girl. I didn't feel right. Number one, I have gained so much weight. I'm a naturally tiny person, normally weighing in at around 110 pounds, fitting perfectly with my petite 5'4" frame. Now I am 124 lbs, all belly, making me look so out-of-proportion. Mal just thinks it's because I'm a person who has always been skinny, I'm just not used to being this big. I'm not so sure.
My thoughts get interrupted when Mal wraps his arms around me from behind and rests his chin on my shoulder.
" Good Morning beautiful." he says in a sleepy voice. God damn, his sleepy voice was so damn sexy.
" Hey sweet heart." I reply back.
" So today's the day?" he asks.
"What?" I wasn't really paying attention to what he was asking.
"Today we get to find out whether it's a boy or a girl, right?"
" Oh yeah, haha sorry I wasn't really paying attention."
" Something on your mind?"
" Nah not really. Just tired I guess. " I respond with a quick smile.
" What time do we have to be there?"
I glance at the clock, it's 12:36 in the afternoon. The appointment was at 2:30.
"In two hours." I reply.
" Are you excited?"
" Yeah, I'm just in a bad mood. Are you?"
" A little bit."
I could tell by his smile, he was more than just 'A little bit' excited for this, but I didn't comment.
" Okay , could you please lay back on the bed and then we'll start the ultrasound." said the nurse.
The way too preppy/happy sounding nurse in my opinion. But I noticed Mal's smile when she called me , even though we technically weren't married yet. He's so cute. Any way I did what I was told and prepared myself for the cold gel that I knew would be applied to my ever growing stomach from my last ultrasound, 6 weeks ago.
They turned on the ultra sound machine, and moved the remote over my bulging stomach. Then the technician asked,
" You know there's two in there right?"
Did I just hear her right?
" Excuse me?" I asked.
" You have twins. See?" she stated and she moved the monitor over so I could see the image. And sure enough, there were two, not one, babies in my stomach.
" Oh...My...God." was all I could manage to say.
I looked over to sneak a glance at Mal's reaction. I swear to God, if his smile could get any bigger, it would be touching his ears.
" We're having twins?!" He asks, beaming.
" Yes, you are going to be the father of twins. " the technician replies with a kind smile.
" May we know the sex of the twins?" I ask.
" Certainly. It looks like it'll be a boy, and the one on the right, looks like a girl. And it's hard to determine at the moment, but based on their skeletal features, it looks like they could be identical twins. Obviously not completely identical, one being a girl and one being a boy, but the chances are, is that they will look a like. Congrats. Would you like a picture?"
" Yes..Yes please that would great." I barely squeak out. She presses a few buttons and a photo comes out of the machine.
" Okay, here you go.
Besides that, they look healthy and the heartbeat is normal. If you have any more questions or concerns, don't hesitate to come in!" says the technician.
" okay thank you."
Mal and Natara leave the doctors, and it's not until they get into the car, does the news finally hit them.
"Oh my God. I'm going to be mom. Of Twins." exclaimed Natara.
" Yeah, and I'm the dad of twins!" said Mal, wicked excited at this.
Natara slaps Mal on the arm.
" Fuck you. Now I'm REALLY going to be fat..."
" And now it's going to be twice as many mood swings I take it?" Mal quips, but shuts up when he catches Nat's death glare.
Review?
