“Do you think I'm upset?”
“Mhmmm, that's why I want to know.”
“Being in front of a screen and seeing the ultrasound scans have somehow protected me from the anxiety I feel now. It looks so real now, so real, “he sighs.“I'm home, I'm with you. Kate, I'm so happy that I feel stupidly nervous. “
I take his hand and put it on my belly.“We are here, take all the time in the world to get used to this new situation. I love you.”
“You are my life, Kate.”I smile as I park the car.
“Let's go see our wonders.”
Entering the practice, the smell of roses on the center of the table makes me smile. I love flowers. They always put me in a good mood.
Andrea, the receptionist greets me in passing as I see that she drools over Logan.
She looks at him and undresses him with her eyes. It might be hormones but it makes me angry to see her drool on my man. Since when am I jealous?!
“Kate, good morning.”Dr. Hailey greets me and brings me back to reality“How are you today?”
“Very well thank you, excited for what awaits me. Meet Logan. “
“Daddy, I finally get to meet you. Please take a seat in the surgery. “As we pass the front desk, Andrea has the courage to stop us saying“only one person is allowed inside.”
I turn around replying as calm as I can to her“my husband can come with me,”and I drag him inside.
After the usual routine questions, we begin to do the ultrasound. The doctor takes the measurements of the children, we hear their little hearts, and I am at the peak of emotion.
“Well, we are ready with the verdict, do you want to know the sex of these little ones?”
“Is he keeping us on thorns on purpose?”I ask Logan laughing.
“Then, there is not much to say. The little ones are fine, they are healthy and strong. The weight is very good considering the 25 weeks of gestation. And both of them are... “Hepauses making me want to scream. Logan strokes my hand.“They are both boys. Congratulations!”
I am speechless, I am very happy for boys.“I am screwed, between you and Max and two boys I will end up in the asylum before their 21stbirthday.”
We all laugh in unison. Logan kisses me and whispers a very sweet “I love you”. His eyes are shiny.
We never talked about wanting boys or girls, but I think he is proud to be the father of two boys.
“Okay, Kate, then indicatively the due date of delivery should be around April 12thbut being twins perhaps also in early April. You already know that babies decide to come out whenever they want. Start preparing your bag for the hospital so that you are ready for any eventuality. “
“Of course, I finish shopping today and it will be ready.”
“Well done, now, let's talk a little about childbirth. I know you would like to have a natural birth. And the babies would already be in position and it could also be feasible, however, we always keep open the possibility that in the case of any hitch or problem, we will proceed with a C section. “
“It's fine,”I confirm
“Well, then I will book the next visit for you in 3 weeks when you will already be 6 months along.”
We get up. “Thank you, doctor, you are very kind,”I smile and leave the consultation room.
Andrea looks at us smiling.
“Good bye, Andreea”I say as I approach to her and whisper so only she can hear me“my husband is off limits so keep a professional attitude next time, please.”
She didn't expect an affront and in fact, I left her stuttering.
I give the keys to Logan who picks me up and kisses me.“Where is this husband of yours taking you now?”he says with a proud smile“Do you realize that you are possessive and sexy as hell, babe? I love your jealousy.”
