Dr. Smith walked into Peyton's hospital room with a smile on his face pulling the ultra sound machine behind him. "Are you three ready to see Peyton's babies?"
Lucas looked at the Doctor and smiled slight and then looked back at Peyton. "Come on baby you need to wake up so that you can see our beautiful babies. Please Peyt wake up."
When there was no change in Peyton, Lucas sighed and nodded his head at the Doctor. "Do I need to move?"
Dr. Smith smiled and shook his head. "No I can do the Ultra Sound from the other side of the bed."
Lucas let out a sigh of relief and said "Thank you."
Dr. Smith nodded and made sure that the Ultra Sound machine was working so that he could do the Ultra Sound. He could not help but think that once Peyton woke up that she would be one lucky woman because she obviously had a man who loved her dearly. He just hoped that she would wake up soon. The longer she was out the greater chance of brain damage to her and some kind of damage to her babies. He sighed and shook his head to clear his thoughts and then looked at the young man who had a grip on Peyton's hand and the woman and man behind him with the little boy. "I amm going to put this gel on Peyton's stomach. Unfortunately it will be a little cold because the warmer broke a couple of days ago and we have not gotten the replacement warmer yet."
Lucas nodded and Haley said "How far along did you say Peyton was?"
Dr Smith smiled and said "Peyton is about fourteen weeks pregnant give or take a day or two. Are you guys ready to see the babies now?"
Nathan smiled and put his hand on Lucas's shoulder and nodded "We are ready Doc. Let us see my nephews or nieces or nephews and nieces."
Dr. Smith laughed and said "I will not be able to tell you the sexes of the babies this early on but you guys will be able to hear the heartbeats and I will make sure to print out several photos so that once Peyton wakes up you all can show her, her beautiful children."
Lucas smiled at Dr. Smith's words and said "I just want to know that they are unharmed and that they are healthy."
Dr. Smith nodded and then turned on the Ultra Machine and pulled Peyton's blanket down and moved the hospital gown to the side and put some gel on Peyton's stomach before taking the Doppler and placing it on Peyton's stomach. He moved it around for a minute and then turned the sound up and smiled when the sound of one of the babies heartbeats filled the air. "This here is baby A and he or she seems to be doing just fine. His or her heartbeat is right where it should be."
Lucas could not help but smile at the sound of his daughter or son's heartbeat and he said "Wow."
Dr. Smith chuckled and said "Right here is baby A's head, arms and legs. Everything seems to be developing just as it should. Are you ready to hear the next baby's heartbeat?"
Lucas nodded and said "Yes. Did you get a picture of Baby A?"
Dr. Smith nodded and then moved the Doppler again and soon another heartbeat was heard and he made sure to take a picture of baby B and print out a couple copies of it. "This is baby B. His or her heartbeat is right where it should be. If you look closely you can see his or her head as well as the arms or legs."
This time Haley chuckled and said "It looks as if baby A is hiding baby B from view."
Dr. Smith laughed and said "A lot of times one baby will hide behind the other baby. Now we will look at baby C."
Lucas nodded but did not say anything. He could not take his eyes off of the screen. He could not believe that those were his babies even though he knew that they were. He could not believe that him and Peyton had created these wonderful babies together and his heart felt as if it was going to pound right out of his chest because of how proud he was of the fact that him and Peyton made babies from their love of one another.
Dr. Smith saw the look on Lucas's face and could not help but smile. He knew that Lucas would make a great father even though he did not know him that well. He was pretty good at reading people and he could tell how much Lucas loved Peyton and the babies even though he had just found out about the babies today. With the smile stuck firmly in place he moved the Doppler around again for a few seconds and soon the third heartbeat was sounding in Peyton's hospital room. "This here is baby C. His or her heartbeat is right where it should be. Once again if you look closely you can see his or her head and arms and legs. I have snapped pictures of all three babies and printed out several copies of them. I also made sure to place a DVD in the Ultra Sound machine so that when Peyton wakes up she can watch it and listen to the babies heartbeats. Do any of you have any questions?"
Lucas shook his head but Nate said "Are all three babies developing how they should be? I have read that some babies do not develop like the others in a multiple pregnancy."
Dr. Smith smiled and nodded his head. "That is true in some cases because one baby will take what it needs from the other baby stunting the development of the second baby. However it appears that all three babies are developing just as they should. When Peyton does wake up and I release her from the hospital she will need to make an appointment with an OBGYN. I have her on prenatal vitamins as well as the I.V fluid going through her. Since she is carrying triplets she will need to be monitored especially with her high blood pressure and her heart condition. Speaking of her heart condition the Cardiologists will be in to see you soon. If you have any other questions just go to the Nurse's station and have me paged. I'll be back to check on Peyton in a couple of hours."
"Thank you Dr. Smith." Lucas said as he held onto the pictures that Dr. Smith had handed him.
Dr. Smith nodded and started pushing the Ultra Machine back out of Peyton's hospital room. "You are welcome Lucas. Remember if you need anything or if she wakes up go to the Nurse's station and have me paged."
"We will Doctor." Nathan said.
Lucas traced his finger over the Ultra Sound pictures with a smile on his face and he whispered "My babies."
