Three months had passed since the clan first found out that the females were pregnant and they were just, barely showing baby bumps. Out of all of them, Elisa was the biggest, looking six months instead of four and a half months. Roe was the most worried, though his own pregnancy was being difficult. He was throwing up a lot and he'd lost some weight. David was also worried, not liking that he didn't know what to expect. It took him five hours to try and persuade Goliath to bring doctors in. And the only reason Goliath agreed was because he was desperately worried about Elisa and didn't want any bad surprises to happen to his human mate.
When a date was set for the check up, which was for the next night, Roe was nervous. His village had doctors, but not well supplied ones. The only real relief he had was that Demona was going to be there to. Demona was asked to be there by Angela. When Demona had found out that Angela was pregnant, the older gargoyle had shrieked in joy and had been spoiling her to the point of obsession. She had even gotten the expecting couple numerous baby supplies she thought they'd want. Or that they had asked for. Soon enough, the doctors appointment came upon them, in a chilly autumn night.
"So, who wants to go first?" Dr. Laura Thompson asked rather calmly at the clan. She, and several of her colleagues had placed several ultra sound machines, ekg, and heart monitors up around the dinning room. The good doctor had wanted to set up in the rookery, but Roe automatically, and fiercely refused to let her damage the room. She wasn't clan, neither were her associates they would damage the rookery. The doctor had been miffed at Roe's lack of trust, but Goliath assured her that was the gargoyle way, no outsiders were to know of the rookery, for safety reasons. Dr. Thompson had nodded, getting the message rather easily, and had gone to talk to Demona about what to expect with a gargoyle pregnancy. Since Demona was the only female gargoyle that had previously been pregnant, she had some need information. The red haired gargoyle would also be there to counsel the new mother.
"I'll go first Dr. Thompson," Elisa said, there was a calm in her voice that her mind didn't have. Goliath stepped next to her as she lied down, curios as to what to expect from this particular machine. It took mere seconds to start up the machine and have the scentless gel spread across the darker skinned women's abdomen. Roe looked on in awe, curiosity raging as to what exactly was going on. Four years in an industrialized city and he still was in awe about everything. Lex was the one who had explained what the machines were, and what they did, several times.
"Are you sure all this weird stuff isn't dangerous?" Roe asked once again as the doctor spread the wand around Elisa's abdomen.
"Positive," Lex said with a small grin.
"You act as if it's the first time seeing these machines," A kind nurse, her name was Sadie, said.
"That's cause it is," Roe replied, head tilting slightly but eyes not moving from what Dr. Thompson was doing.
"What, were you born in a Barn or something?" Another Doctor asked. His name was Dr. Beckley and he could be cruelly blunt at the best of times. Sadie glared at him over her clip bored. Roe's eyes shot to him, and he sniffed a little wetly.
"It wasn't a barn, it was an old school house. I come from a dirt poor, redneck village in Norway, Doktor, so excuse me for not being used to it." Roe replied rather stiffly.
"Oh, suck's to be you doesn't it?" The doctor responded nonchalantly. Roe frowned, and Lex loose an angry snarl. Before either of them could say anything, Dr. Thompson let out a surprised gasp.
"Congratulations, Ms. Maza, you're carrying twins," Dr. Thompson said with a warm smile. Roe squeaked joyously, the happiness rolling off of him in waves.
"Twins?" Elisa said rather faintly. Goliath felt his knees go a little week as a joyous look came to his face.
"This is joyous news my love," Goliath nearly shouted, he was so happy. Elisa turned to him with a frown and glared at him.
"Of course your happy. YOU don't have to push them out," the cop snarled at him. Goliath's happy face fell slightly, by he didn't take it to heart, recognizing the mood swing instantly.
"Twins are rare for our clan, my beloved," Goliath replied back rather smoothly. Elisa's eyes widened and soon she began apologizing for her temper. Goliath automatically waved it off and kissed Elisa's forehead. Elisa got off the table carefully, and with Goliath's help, and Angela went next, curious herself about the machines. Soon, every female but Roe had gone onto the table. The young half breed was nervous, but mostly waiting for Owen.
