(A few days later)
"Calleigh, Dr. Wong is ready to see you." A nurse in green scrubs said to me.
Eric and I went into the Dr's office, taking a seat. I looked around the OB/GYN room covered in pictures pamphlets and posters. I sighed, I hated going to the doctors.
"Are you nervous?" Eric questioned.
"Somewhat, what if something is wrong with the baby?" I said my voice filled with doubt.
"Everything going to be okay" Eric kissed my forehead.
Dr. Wong, a short ebony haired, woman walked in. "Hi, I'm Dr. Wong. How are you doing today?"
"Okay" I responded. "First, I need you to change in this gown, then I'll take some blood and urine samples. After we'll do a sonogram, sound good?"
I nodded. "Great, I'll be right back."
I headed to the bathroom. "Why do you have to go to the bathroom, you can change in front of me." Eric said.
"I would like some privacy and I don't need you staring at me." I said.
"Well there isn't anything I haven't seen sweetheart" He smirked. I rolled my eyes and changed into the gown.
Dr. Wong took the samples for testing. She got the results a few minutes later.
"Calleigh you are pregnant. I want you to take vitamins, drink fluids, get rest and eat healthier."
"Got it!" "Let's go take your sonogram."
We walked down the hall into the other room. I laid down on the bed. Dr. Wong placed a cold greenish jelly-like substance of my stomach; she moved the wand around looking for the baby.
"Ok, you are about eight weeks pregnant. I see something here do you see it?" She pointed to the screen. "Yes"
"What is that next to the baby?" Eric pointed to the left. "I don't know let me see"
She zoomed in on the object. "It's another fetus!"
"What!" I exclaimed. "There are two of them?" Eric asked.
"Yes you're having twins. Your next appointment is in two weeks" She said before leaving.
"Can you believe it? We're having twins." Eric said happily.
"Yeah. We should get going; we have to go to the lab."
I changed out of the gown into my normal clothes and left the office.
In the car we were silent: both absorbed in our own thoughts. About 30 minutes later we were in the parking lot of the lab.
"We're here" I said as I killed the engine off the car. "I know" He didn't unbuckle his seatbelt.
"So are you going to stay here? We have to them. It's now or never." I said.
"How about never?" He laughed.
I never saw him so nervous before. He finally unbuckled his seatbelt getting out of the car.
We walked in the lab. Everyone was in the break room waiting for case assignments.
"Calleigh, Eric, what are you doing here? I thought you both had the day off." H said.
"We did but we have some news to share with you." I said
"What is it? Are you leaving the lab?" Walter asked.
"No we're not leaving Eric and I are having twins!"
There was dead silence in the room, you could hear a pin drop.
Ryan of course broke the ice.
"Twins? Back track of a second, how long have you been together or was it a one night stand?" Ryan said.
"It wasn't a one night stand. Calleigh and I have been together for two years." Eric said.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Ryan asked still in shock.
"We never told because it never came up" I said.
"How far along are you?" Samantha asked.
"I'm two months" I said
"So I'm going to be an uncle soon?" Walter said.
We all laughed.
"Yes."
"Congrats! If neither of you need anything you know where to find me" H said putting on his shades.
I was happy everyone gave us their blessings and was happy for Eric and I.
