A week and half later Sara and Gil are at Sara obgyn office for Sara prenatal check up, with Dr. Moonstar. There are back in exam room number four and the room has white walls with posters of a baby or babies in utero. Gil is hold Sarah hand as the doctor and the two of them are listening to the baby heart beat. Gil has a huge smile on his face, because this is his first time hearing the baby heartbeat, Sara heard it once already at here eight week check up. Sara turns her head and looks at Gil then smiles at him. A few minutes later Gil and Sara turn the head toward the female doctor that has dark brown eyes, dark brow hair that is just past her shoulder in length that is pull back into a bun and is five feet seven inches tall. In addition the doctor is wearing a pair of black dress pants and a lavender long sleeve blouse under her white lab coat, the reason Sara and Gil turn they head toward the doctor is because the doctor started to talk.
"You are doing at the beginning of July and I find two baby heartbeats, I thought that I hear two heartbeats at your eight-week check up, because I want to see if it happened at two appointments and it did."
Gil lets go of Sara's hand and give her a look of shock and then gives the doctor the same look, he clears his throat and few times and then try to speak by no words comes out of his mouth. A minute later he is able to get words out.
"Two heartbeats, are you a hundred percent sure Dr. Moonstar?"
"Yes"
"When will you be able to tell us the sex?"
"Sara I will be able to tell you and Gil the sex of the babies when you come back to seen me in five weeks and we do the first ultrasound."
Dr. Moonstar check the growth of Sara stomach next and Gil and Sara just look at each other the rest of the appointment but do not say anything to each other. When the appointment end Sara and Gil walk out of the doctors office holding each other hands, a few minutes later Gil is starting up his sliver 2007 ford escape. Sara turns her head and look at Gil with a big smile on her face and he smiles back at her. Gil can tell by just looking at Sara that something is on her mind.
"What is it Sara?"
"We need to start searches for a house together!"
"What!"
"Gil my apartments nor your townhouse is big enough for one baby let alone two. There is one bedroom in my apartment and your townhouse has one large bedroom and second small room that you use as an office because it too small for a twin bed!"
"You are right Sara, we have time to kill before our shift starts do you want to start looking now?"
"Yes."
"Let stop at a gas station and pick up a newspaper and see what houses are on the market and that have open house today?"
"Sound like a great idea."
Gil backs out of the parking space and a few minutes later pulling into a gas station. He parks the SUV and then runs into the gas station to buys a newspaper. Two minutes later when then get to his SUV he hands Sarah the newspaper and she finds the houses for sale section then start looking at it and highlights the house that they want to look at and that have opening houses. Gil drives to the first house right away and the two of them looks at eight house before Gil pulls up in front of the last house they have time to look at, which is in Fairwick Street and in Catherine Willows's neighborhood and the house is on the right-hand side of Catherine's house. Gil puts the SUV into the parked position and the turns the SUV off, he then take his keys out of the SUV.
"Gil are you sure that you want to look at this house because it will let the cat out of the bag that we are dating each other and Catherine will then figure out that you are the babies' father?"
"You told me that you told Catherine you are pregnant and I thought you tell her who the father is already?"
"No I just told her I was pregnant."
"We are here and it won't hurt to check the house out, beside neither of us has like any of the other house we look at today."
"Because there were really old and need a lot of work Gil."
"This one a newer house at lest."
"Then let go look at the house Gil."
Gil and Sara get out of the SUV and then walk up to the front porch of the light tan two story houses, which door is on the left-hand side of the house. As they are walking up to the house, Gil sees there is a two-car garages with an apartment above on the right-hand side behind the house. A minute later the retailer open up the brown front door and let Gil and Sara into the house and first things the two of them see is off to their left and it is a small mud room to hang your coat in and to keep your shoes. The retailer then shows Sara and Gil into the living room that is on the right-hand side of the house and behind the two car garage. A few minutes later the retailer shows them the huge kitchen that is at the back of the house and the downstairs bedroom that door is on the left-hand side of the kitchen when you enter the room and then the retailer show Sara and Gil the basement. Gil see that Sara has a huge smile on her face as looking around the basement.
"What do you think so far Sara?"
"I love it so far, I really love how they turn the basement into a library Gil."
"You are a big reading I take it?"
"Yes and I also like the fact there is downstairs bedroom with a bathroom and that there even a bathroom down here."
"I will show you the upstairs now."
The retailer leads the way up the basement stairs and Sara and Gil follow the retailer to the staircase to the second floor is on the right and across from the front door. The three of them head up to the second floor and the first room the retailer show Sara and Gil the rooms on the second floor of the house. As Sara and Gil are walking downstairs to the first floor Gil looks over at Sara and for the first time in a long time he can't tell want Sara is thinking.
"Sara do you want the house?"
"I love it, do you love and want the house too?"
"Yes"
"But can we afford it?"
"Of cause we can."
The retailer show Gil and Sara into the kitchen and Sara and Gil fills out the paperwork and Gil offers three times more then the owner of the house was asking, because he and Sarah both really want this house and the two of them both agrees with the retailer the house was under price. Once the paperwork in filled out Gil takes a deep breath and then start to talk.
"How long before we know if the owners agree to the price we offer them?"
"I will let you know within a day or two."
(Gil and Sarah) thank you."
A few minutes later Sara and Gil walk up to Gil SUV and the two of them both looks at the time and see there is enough time to get something to eat before going into work for the night.
