3 Months Later (February)
The next 3 months were fairly un-eventful for Ted and Carly. Carly's pregnancy was going smoothly so far, and was even more happier that she hadn't gotten sick during her first trimester. Now, she had just entered her second trimester, and was excited for tomorrow. Tomorrow would be the day she and Ted would have their sonogram appointment, and could find out if they are expecting a daughter or son. Although she was excited, Carly was a little sad too. Ted would still be on tour tomorrow, and wouldn't be able to accompany her.
It was a Sunday evening, and Alex was already down for the night. As Carly got comfortable in her nice, warm bed with a good book, she heard her cell phone ring, and smiled when she read the caller id. "Hey Ted," she said softly.
"Hey baby. How's everyone doing?" he asked. Carly could tell he had a hint of sadness in his voice.
"We're all doing good. As you know, my sonogram appointment is tomorrow, but I think Alex is coming down with the flu. He felt a little warm today and fell asleep early tonight."
"Ahh, poor guy. How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine. Ted, is everything ok?"
Carly heard Ted sigh. "I'm just a little frustrated that I can't be with you tomorrow. I kind of feel like I'm letting you down."
Carly smiled. "Baby, don't feel like that. I know that your working and would be here if you could. Unfortuantely when I scheduled my appointment all they had left was a Monday morning. Your not letting me down at all!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. When you get home tomorrow night, I'll leave out the sonogram pictures so you can see them."
"Alright sounds good. When Alex wakes up tomorrow, will you give him an extra hug and kiss for me?"
"You bet I will," Carly replied.
"Ok. Listen, I'm going to shower and relax in the hotel room and I'll let you get back to sleep. I'll call you tomorrow ok?"
"Alright I will talk to you tomorrow then. I love you Ted."
Ted grinned as he heard Carly talk. "I love you too babe. Bye."
"Bye," Carly said as she shut her phone. She opened her phone again, and simply stared at the picture she set as her main wallpaper. It was a picture of herself, Ted and Alex, taken by Ted's mom the day of Alex and Ted's birthday. She then set her phone back on the night stand and snuggled further under the covers. She then grabbed a pillow from Ted's side of the bed and cuddled with it, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, as Carly was putting on the final touches of her make up, she heard the doorbell ring. When she opened the door, she smiled at Ted's mom and dad. "Hey guys!"
"Hi Carly, are you about ready?" Jan asked.
"Yep, I just need to put on some lip gloss. Thanks again for coming with me today."
"Oh, no problem."
"It's a little quiet," Ted Sr. pointed out. "Where's Alex?"
"He is actually in his crib sleeping. Like I told Ted last night, I think he's starting to come down with the flu or something. He's been very droopy today."
"Poor kid. Do I need to give him some medicine when he wakes up?" Ted Sr. asked.
Carly shook her head no. "I gave him some right before he laid down, and that was like a half hour ago...so he should be ok."
Carly and Jan left for the doctor's office within 15 minutes, and were called to the little room soon after.
"So...are you guys hoping for a girl since you already have a boy?" Jan asked as she and Carly continued to wait.
"I'm kind of hoping it's a girl, but I would be happy with a boy too. I'm sure Ted would love another boy," Carly chuckled.
Jan grinned. "That may be true, but if it's a girl, she can be daddy's little girl."
Carly nodded as the nurse, Laura, walked into the room. "Hi Carly. How are you feeling?"
"I'm doing good. I definietly feel alot better than my last pregnancy."
"That's good," Laura said as she began the sonogram. "Ok...there is an arm, and there is the baby's head...and there's oh, oh my..."
"Is everything ok?" Carly asked concerned as she glanced at Jan.
Laura grinned. "Everything looks great, but I just made an interesting discovery," she said as she pointed to the screen. "There is one head and there is another baby's head. It looks like your expecting twins."
Carly was shocked, and her mouth literally dropped as she glanced at Jan. "Twins do run on my side of the family."
"Oh my God!" Carly exclaimed.
"There is one baby's extra body part, and I don't see one on the other baby, so it looks like your expecting a boy and girl. Congratulations," Laura exclaimed.
As Jan drove home, she could tell Carly looked nervous and scared. "Carly, everything will be fine. You don't have anything to worry about."
"How am I going to take care of 3 kids under the age of 2 by myself?" Carly whispered. "I mean, I know Ted will be home for a few weeks after the birth, but once he goes back to work, I'll be on my own."
"Oh, no you won't. Ted and I are nearby as is Mike and Christy and Brett and Jill. Also, I'm sure your mom and dad will come to help. You'll have plenty of people nearby that will want to help."
Carly only nodded as she heard her phone beep. It was a text message from Ted. So...how did everything go?
Carly couldn't possibly tell him they were expecting twins over the phone. This was the kind of news that had to be told in person. Everything went fine, she texted. I found out some interesting news though. When you get home tonight, I'll tell you what it is.
Ted immediately texted her back, asking what it was, and after some back and forth texting, he finally gave up. Carly was stubborn, and once she set her mind at something, there was no changing it. The rest of the day seemed to pass slowly for Ted, and finally about 12:30 that night, he literally ran inside the house, fearing there was something wrong.
When he shut the garage door that led into the kitchen, he heard Alex stirring and starting to cry. He quietly walked up the stairs, and when he peaked his head inside Alex's room, he smiled when he saw Carly rocking with him. When she looked up and saw him in the doorway, she smiled.
"Hey your home!" she exclaimed.
"Hey baby," he said as he kissed her forehead. As soon as Ted was in view, Alex sat straight up and lunged for Ted. Ted happily obliged to holding his son. "How are you feeling buddy?"
"He has a fever. I figured it was the flu, but I called the hospital and paged his peditrician just to make sure, and she said it sounded like the flu. He'll be ok in no time."
"Good," Ted said as he switched spots with Carly, and started rocking. "So...what happened at the doctor that you couldn't tell me over the phone?"
Carly disappeared for a moment, and then returned with the sonogram pictures. "This picture should say it all."
Ted looked at the picture, and his eyes grew wide. He could see the little arrows pointing to each of the baby's heads and then looked up at Carly. "We're expecting twins?!"
Carly nodded nervously. "Yeah...a boy and girl to be exact."
Ted nodded once more and then smiled at Carly before standing up and kissing her. "Boy, when I set out to do something, I do it right, huh?" he asked chuckling. Carly also giggled as Ted pulled her into a hug. She knew everything was going to be ok.
