They were giving me patient looks, and I was a little apprehensive. One of them was going to hate everything about what I was going to say.
"Well. After really thinking about it, I think that maybe I want to pursue a relationship with Carlos. I don't want to resume sleeping together right now, however, I'd like to try an actual relationship. And for parenting, well, I like Carlos' suggestion of coparenting the children together. All three of us."
As I figured, Joe lost his mind at that. He didn't want Carlos near his kid, and how dare I not pick us and our history. Carlos sat back patiently and waited for Joe to finish losing his mind.
"I think that is a wise choice, babe. Even if you weren't picking me, I think that making the decision to be in a relationship without the physical aspect is important."
So that's what we did. We decided to relearn each other. We spent the next 5 weeks dating each other, with no more than a kiss goodnight at the door. It was hell, especially with my pregnancy hormones. I wanted sex all the time, and my shower massager was getting quite the work out. By the time we had to go back for the next check up, I thought for sure I'd die from being sexually unsatisfied.
Joe met us at the doctors, and we went through the usual routine of urine, vitals, and questioning before the doctor had us go back for an ultrasound.
"Due to the nature of this pregnancy we are going to be doing a regular anatomy scan and then following it up with a 3D/4D ultrasound. Hopefully there will be some identifying features so we can pinpoint which baby is Mr. Morelli's and Mr. Manoso's."
They squeezed the goop on my tummy and used the wand to start orienting themselves. They scanned over their heads and took measurements and then asked if we wanted to know genders. We all did, and she slid the wand back over both babies.
"This makes it easy for you. One baby is a girl, and one is a boy. Let's switch this machine over to 3D so we can get an idea of who's baby is who."
They scanned over the faces of both babies and the boy very definitely had Joe's nose. Both of my guys had big smiles on their faces and we all left with copies of the images of the babies
