Richardo Pov.
I stand above her behind the couch and watch the doctor put gel on her stomach.
"Right, let's see now,how have you been feeling?".
"I've been craving salt a lot,swollen fingers and ankles, I don't know if it's connected to pregnancy but I had dizzy spells for two months now"The doctor nods.
"That's all normal, it's because of your low blood pressure, you experienced fainting quite often these past few weeks, if I remember it correctly, right?"Isabella nods and I tap her shoulder.
"You didn't mention fainting amorcita''She scoffs and ignores me.
The nerve of this woman, all because I pulled a little trick.
"Look at the screen"We look at the screen and see a grayish stain, I have no idea what I'm looking at but it's beautiful.
"And the heartbeat should be..."She focuses on the screen and suddenly a loud sound of the heartbeat fills the room and my heart drops.
I stare at the screen mesmerized by everything happening,now I wanna hit myself in the balls for missing out on this for five months.
"You're about 33 weeks,but surprisingly they're both very developed, they might even come early"I stop and look at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What did you just say? They? As in multiple?"She nods,her eyes still fixated on the screen.
"Yes, I see a big boy and a small girl, didn't your doctor tell you that?"Isabella shakes her head and looks up at me, I'm pretty sure I lost all the color on my face.
"No, I've been switching doctors and no one told me I'm having twins...They just said I'm carrying a very developed baby".
Isabella Pov.
Two of them...Two of them will have to get out of me...
I'm going to kill Richardo, this is all his fault.
The doctor wipes the gel off my stomach and looks at me brightly.
"This must be very exciting for you, I'm going to give you a few books to read before out next visit,which is next week,I want to see how they develop''I stare at her blankly, unable to process what she's talking about.
"They're very active and healthy, I'm actually quite surprised,this kind of fast development of twins in just 33 weeks I've seen only two times before you"I pull my shirt down and sit up.
"Soo...Does that mean they're coming early?".
"Most of the twins come early, somewhere between 35-37 weeks is very often"My body goes limp at her words, that's a little too soon,I didn't even prepare the right way because of everything that was happening.
"I have the heartbeats here and the pictures,if you'd like I can offer stuffed animals and you can put the heartbeats inside so you can remember it"I stare at her not saying a word.
"That would be great,can we pick what stuffed animal?"Richardo speaks.
"Sure, I'll give you a catalog and you can flip through it while I pack my stuff"She gives him the catalog and starts packing the equipment.
"Amorcita,you okay?"He sits next to me and puts a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I have nothing ready for them to arrive,our relationship is shit,this house is shit, you're going to announce retirement so you need to go back home,I don't have the room ready, Palmer is out in the wild like amln animal and I'm still as fat as a whale!"I yell out, completely forgetting the doctor is still in the room, Richardo clears his throat awkwardly and straightens up.
"See yourself out, we're going upstairs to prepare for...Twins"She nods,he takes my hand and I slowly get up.
"Did you decide on the stuffed animal?"He opens the catalog and quickly flips through it.
"This horse with a stick in his head and an elephant"I roll my eyes.
"That's a unicorn"I say and head to the kitchen.
I need to have baby names,a nursery, clothing,a better situation with Richardo,nicer house, smaller stomach and about fifty new outfits cause I can't fit in anything I own right now and what am I doing? Grabbing ice cream from the freezer while my life is holding on a small string.
"Are you okay?"Richardo sits across me on the barstool.
"I'm fine,we need baby stuff and a better relationship,ohh can't forget the girl that's planning to kill me"I say and grab a spoonful of vanilla ice cream, stuffing it in my mouth.
"Well I have alot of names on my mind, I was thinking about them when you left and moved here"I look at him suspiciously.
"Why did you do that after calling me all those horrible names?"I see his face lose color and his shoulders slump.
"I told you I never thought you were any of the names I called you,I don't wanna talk about that, I'm still never going to forgive myself for being an idiot"I lick the spoon while nodding.
"Good,and don't think I forgave you for what you did earlier but that's not important right now, let's hear the names you have"He crosses his arms and leans on the counter.
"I had a whole list of them but I really like the name Enya Irís that's first and middle name and also Allegra is beautiful"I lean back in surprise.
"I love both of those names actually"He smiles.
"I had Colton and Lennox for boys too, those were the one's that stuck"He says and grabs my spoon full of ice cream.
"That's actually not bad at all,I love them, I didn't give it much thought but I'm glad you did"I smile and get up, walking around the counter and into his arms.
"This is so sweet and I'm trying so hard not to cry right now"I kiss his lips and run my fingers through his hair.
"Why would you cry at this?".
"Because now I know you kept thinking about everything even after we were broken up"He sighs and rests his head on my chest.
"I wrote letters to you, they went missing and I'm guessing either Palmer or Monica"I laugh.
"It was Palmer first,she threw them then Monica found them and brought them here"He pulls away and looks at me.
"Before you read all of them,there is one that is...Well it's going to shock you so I'll tell you right now"I bite my lip anxiously.
"What's it about?".
"My business"He says,the words coming out as an angry warning.
"What happened to it?"He spreads his legs slightly and taps his knee, he's damn lucky the chair is as huge as I am cause I would not be able to fit if it was just an inch smaller.
I sit on his lap and wraps his arm around me.
"Remember how I told you about my mother's plan? With marriage and leading?"I nod.
"Well I said the retirement is in a week or so but..."He stops and hesitates to keep going.
"But what?".
"...Before I came here,I gave Carlos my spot, I'm no longer the boss".
