-Heart Beat Chapter Forty Three-
Today is the day that I get to hear my baby's heart beat and to say I am excited is an understatement, I am ecstatic. I'll be even happier when I get to know if I am going to have a daughter or a son.
"Britt babe, we are running late"
"I'm sorry, I had to pee again."
"It's ok, honey lets go, though"
We make it just in time for our appointment. We check in and before we can even make it to take a seat they called us into the room. The nurse walked us back into the room. She asks Britt a few questions and then told us the doctor would be in shortly.
True to her word Dr. Hanes walked in a few minutes later.
"Hello, I am Dr. Hanes your primary doctor referred you to me. You must be Brittany"
Dr. Hanes says as she reaches out her hand to shake Britt's.
"And you must be Santana"
She reaches out to shake my hand. She sits down in the swivel chair and glances over the chart.
"So it says here that your last period was November 22nd, it that correct?"
"Yes"
Britt answers.
"Ok so we can then estimate that your due date will be August 27th, that puts you at around 9 weeks today. Why don't you lie back and we will do an ultra sound"
Britt lie's down on her back, I sit down right next to her as the doctor gets the machine ready. She turns it on, places the jelly on Britt's belly and then that's when I heard it, our baby's heartbeat. It sounds weird though like double.
"Well, well it seems that the two mommies are going to have two babies"
I look at Britt in shock.
"Two"
"Two"
The doctor repeats me.
"Baby we are going to have two babies"
I say as I place a kiss on Britt's lips.
"Twins just like Sky and you, baby"
Britt says.
"Congratulations moms. Right now your babies are about 1 inch long. Their fingers and toes are formed as well as, their hearts, also there eyelids are developed, although they will stay closed for several more months. "
We can see the two little babies that are growing in my soon to be wife's belly. They aren't very, formed but you can see what we have to little ones that will be coming into our life's soon.
After we see them for a while the doctor wipes off the jelly and turns off the monitor. She reaches under the machine and takes out a dvd, placing it into a case.
"Here you go, your babies."
I help Britt sit up.
"I am sure you are running to the bathroom all the time, you are probably having food cravings, and occasional heartburn. You might be having morning sickness as well. These things are all normal. Most of them won't last that much longer, another week or so."
"Yes I have been having some strange food cravings but I am lucky not too much morning sickness"
"Since you are having twins you are going to start showing soon, you might want to consider buying some loose fitting close"
"Ok thank you"
"Do you have any questions for me?"
"When will we be able to tell the sex of our babies?"
I ask. I really want to know if we are having boys, girls or a boy and a girl.
"The next time you come in we should be able to tell the sex of the babies. Is there anything else?"
"Is it ok if we still have sex?"
"Britt"
"What I want to know"
"It's ok, Britt's sex drive may increase, or may decrease every women is different but it is safe for you to have sex until she goes into labor. Any more questions?"
"No I think I am ok, San?"
"No I think we are good"
"Ok I want to see you back in my office in 4 weeks, Britt you look good, keep doing what you're doing and we will see you then"
"Thank you"
"See you then, you can leave the door open when you leave"
Dr. Hanes leaves the room while Britt changes back into her clothes. We make another appointment for 4 weeks later and head back home. The gang is coming over to play karaoke and we still have to tell them about the babies and wedding.
We get home with just enough time to throw some pizza beagles into the oven before the gang starts trickling in.
The first to arrive is Puck, followed by Mike and Tina. Quinn and Rachel showed up a few minutes later. Mercedes and Sam came together and Artie, Fin and Lauren all showed up at the same time. I am running around trying to get the drinks and snack for everyone while Britt is in the living room talking.
"You need some help?"
"Oh shit you scared me Puck"
"Sorry, do you need help?"
"Nah, I think I got it. The bagels are coming out in a minute and I already got everything else, thanks though"
"So what's wrong then?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well we are all here, normally when we all get together its cause something is wrong or we are going on vacation, were not going on vacation, so… what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong"
"Did Britt lose the studio?"
"No"
"You're not going away on tour again are you?"
"No…well not right now"
"Then what's going on?"
"Nothing is wrong, but you will find out our news really soon I promise"
"As long as nothing is wrong"
"I promise, everything is amazing"
"Ok"
Puck pulls me into a hug. The buzzing of the oven allows me to escape his bear hug. I take out the bagels and put them on to a plate.
"Come on, I need to get back to my wife"
"Wife?"
"Shut up, come on"
We head into the living room and meet up with the rest of the gang. I put the plate down on the table.
"The food has arrived."
Rachel walks over to the table and pours herself a drink.
"So what's wrong?"
She asks as she caps the soda bottle.
"Wrong?"
"Yeah, I mean we all only get together when something is wrong, or we are going on vacation, we clearly aren't going on vacation, so what's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, actually everything is great"
"Ok, as long as you're sure your fine."
She says as she picks up her glass and walks back to the couch.
The rest of our guest found their way over to the food and drinks. We all talked for a while and once conversation started to fade, Fin spoke up.
"It's not that I don't like hanging out, but what's wrong? Or are we going on vacation?"
"There is nothing wrong, God everyone keeps asking what's wrong, seriously I don't get how us having babies can be wrong?"
Oh shit! I cover my mouth.
"Fuck, I am sorry baby"
I turn to Britt.
"It just came out"
"Babe its ok, they are here for us to tell them, I just didn't think it was going to be like that"
She giggles at me. We look back to our friends and they all have shell shock looks plastered on their faces.
"There's going to be a little Lopez-Pierce running around?"
Mercedes finally finds her voice. I hold up 2 fingers.
"Two?"
"Wait, you guys are having twins, sis?"
I shake my head up and down.
"Did you tell mom, or abuela?"
I shake my head side to side.
"You better, abuela is going to be so happy."
I shake my head up and down.
"Wow, that's right Lopez, when you do it you do it right"
Puck says as he walks over to give me another bear hug. This time he pulls Britt into.
"Congrats you two, it's about time."
He lets go of us and I am in a coma of my thoughts. How Britt and I are going to be mommies and that we are finally going to get married. I am so happy right now and to be sharing this with all of the most important people in our lives only make it more real.
"Baby, you ok?"
I turn to look into the most beautiful blue eyes in the world and I am brought back to reality again.
"Yes love, I am better then ok, we are going to be mommies to the most beautiful kids, and you are going to be my wife"
"Wife? Hold up, first I learn I am going to be an auntie and now we's having a wedding too?"
Mercedes says as she walks up to Britt and me, pulling us into a hug. Sky walks up to us hanging me her phone.
"Mom wants to talk to you"
"Hello?"
"Mija, why didn't you call me when you found out that you are going to make me a grandmother twice?"
"Yeah, or that fact that, I am going to be, a great grandma?"
I cover the mouth piece, and glare at my sister.
"Sky, they're both on the phone?"
She shakes her head up and down. And I shake my head at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just found out myself. I was going to call you later tonight"
"Well I for one am very excited that I am going to be a great grandma to not only one baby but two."
"I am glad as well, give Britt our congratulations, we will let you go love, oh and make sure you call her mom"
"Will do, thanks and I love you guys"
I hang up the phone and walk back to my wife, who is surrounded by all the girls, touching her belly and asking tons of questions.
"Do you know what you're having?"
Rachel asks
"Not yet, we will find out at the next doctor appointment"
"Do you have morning sickness?"
Quinn asked
"Not so much anymore, at first all the time"
"Wait didn't someone say something about wife?"
Puck jumped into the conversation
"That's the other part. I asked Britt to marry me! All of you are going to be a part of it, at least I hope you all will."
"You know I am down"
Mercedes says
"I am your lesbro of course I am down"
"We are definitely in"
Rachel says for Quinn and herself.
"We wouldn't miss it for the world"
Tina says for her and Mike.
"You know I will always be there"
Artie say
"Yeah me too"
Fin add
"I wouldn't miss it"
Sam chimes in.
"Good, cause we are going to need your help we are trying to have the wedding at the end of April."
"Damn girl that's so soon."
"I know but we want Britt to be able to fit in a dress and since she is carrying twins she is going to be bigger faster"
"That's true"
Quinn says
"Do you have a color yet?"
"No I was going to ask if you girls would help with all that"
"Of course"
The girls respond in unison.
"Now that that is all settled can we get our singing on"
Rachel asks.
The rest of the night was filled with questions and thoughts for wedding plans. The idea of bachelorette parties came up but Britt and I turned them down. Baby shower plans have started.
Over all the night went well. We got to tell all of the most important people in our family about the newest additions and the fact that we are finally taking the last step in our relationship. Once the last of our guest have left, Sky, D and I cleaned up while Britt went upstairs to get ready for bed. I want her to take it easy and not push herself to much, knowing her though I am going to have a hard time with that.
After the living room and kitchen are clean I make my way to join Britt.
"Hey baby, I think we should call your mom and the boys, let them know they are becoming a grandma and uncles twice over"
"Oh that's right I totally forgot they don't know"
"Yeah mom told me not to let you forget"
"Aw that was sweet, tell mom I say thank you"
"Will do"
I finish getting undressed and climb into my side of the bed. I pulled the blanket over me and cuddled into Britt's side. She is sitting up looking at a magazine. We lay there in quite for a few mins just enjoying the moment.
"Honey?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you really think our kids will have your blonde hair and my eyes?"
"Yea, I love your mocha eyes"
"Well, I still think they are going to have my black hair and your piercing blue eyes"
"I guess we will just have to wait and see"
She says a she pokes my nose.
"Do you think we are having boys? girls? Or a boy and a girl?"
I ask as I look up.
"That a hard one, but I feel like one is a boy and the other a girl"
"Really that would be perfect, a boy and a girl. We would have one of each, no trying for one or the other"
"Oh no hon, these babies are just the beginning, we are going to have more. You know I want a big family, and if abuela has anything to say about it, we will have a football team."
"That is true if she had her say these babies would be here already and we would be on round two. I want whatever you want. I will give you a football team, if that's what you want"
She leans down and pulls my chin up so that our lips can touch. She rests her forehead on mine and we look into each other's eyes.
"How did I get so lucky"
