Chapter 296\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Dr. Sammy,\u201d she said. \u201cI understand you\u2019re pregnant and experiencing some pain?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just a twinge,\u201d Athena answered. \u201cReally, I think my fianc\u00e9 is overreacting. My head and heart swelled when I heard her words,\u00a0<\/p>\n
She referred to me as her fiance, I think that was a very big mistake. Because right now all I want is to hear her call me her husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBetter to overreact than to ignore something important,\u201d the doctor voice brought me out from my thoughts. \u201cHow far along are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout three weeks,\u201d Athena said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd where exactly did you feel the pain?\u201d the doctor asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Athena pointed to her lower abdomen. \u201cRight here, it only lasted a few seconds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAny bleeding?\u201d Dr. Sammy asked again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Athena said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCramping?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAny other symptoms? Dizziness, nausea, anything unusual?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, nothing,\u201d Athena responded carefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dr nodded and made some notes on her tablet. \u201cAlright, I\u2019d like to do an ultrasound just to make sure everything looks good, given that you\u2019re still very early in the pregnancy and you mentioned\u00a0<\/p>\n
you were in a physical altercation recently.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you know about that?\u201d Athena asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour chart notes from your regular doctor,\u201d Yeap, we already forwarded everything to them. Can\u2019t take any chances. \u201cIt\u2019s important we keep track of any trauma during pregnancy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 296\u00a0<\/p>\n
A nurse came in and helped Athena lie back on the examination table, pulling up her shirt to expose\u00a0<\/p>\n
her stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stood beside her, holding her hand and trying not to let her see how terrified I was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because I was fucking terrified and I know she was too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nurse squirted gel on Athena\u2019s stomach and Dr. Sammy picked up the ultrasound wand, pressing\u00a0<\/p>\n
it against Athena\u2019s skin and moving it around while watching a screen that I couldn\u2019t see from my\u00a0<\/p>\n
angle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was quiet except for the sound of the ultrasound machine and I felt like I couldn\u2019t breathe,\u00a0<\/p>\n
just waiting for the doctor to say something, anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity, Dr. Sammy smiled. There we go,\u201d she said. \u201cStrong heartbeat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt my knees almost give out with relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe baby\u2019s okay?\u201d Athena asked, her voice trembling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe baby looks perfect,\u201d she replied, then paused, moving the wand around some more. \u201cActually,\u00a0<\/p>\n
babies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My brain stuttered to a halt. \u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBabies,\u201d Dr. Sammy repeated, turning the screen so we could see. \u201cPlural, you\u2019re having twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What? How\u2019s it possible?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Twins. I couldn\u2019t believe my ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are expecting twin. Athena and I are going to be parents of not one, but two children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A large grin appeared on my face, I was so happy. I squeezed Athena hands with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared at the screen where I could now see two tiny blobs, each with a little flickering light that the\u00a0<\/p>\n
doctor said was their heartbeats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 296\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwins? Athena whispered, hay draw and guing to be mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwins, Dr. Sammy confirmed with\u00a0<\/p>\n
waste, But looking healthy and deterjen sormally,\u00a0<\/p>\n
the pain you felt was likely hur por atawa duty to accommodate two bathes instead of one, it\u2019s completely normal especially rate warly ow\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re having twins, I said, sal trying to pross the information,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re having twins, the doctor aped Compralons\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at Athena and saw tears treating down they face, I couldn\u2019t tell if they were happy tears or\u00a0<\/p>\n
overwhelmed tears or both.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you okay?\u201d I asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d she said with a watery laugh. \u201cTwins, dristen, we\u2019re having two babies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d I said, sitting down heavily in the chair beside the examination table because my legs wouldn\u2019t hold me anymore. \u201cHoly shit, we\u2019re having twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr. Sammy printed out some images from the ultrasound and handed them to us. \u201cI want you to take it easy for the next few weeks, she said to Athena,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo strenuous activity, plenty of rest, and I want to see you back here in two weeks for a follow up, twin pregnancies require more monitoring than single pregnancies so we\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on\u00a0<\/p>\n
you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Athena said, still staring at the ultrasound images.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pain you felt today is normal, Dr. Sammy continued. \u201cBut if you experience any bleeding, severe cramping, or anything else that concerns you come back immediately, don\u2019t wait.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
