Life outside the bullpen

Beyond shocked

Erin's POV; it's been a pretty great week for the halstead family, The first thing that happened was that Natalie will  told us that they are having another baby. Which sparked me to think about how I have been feeling the last month and a half so I decided to take a pregnancy test and it came back positive. When I told Jay we were pregnant again it was already in ventral day because we officially adopted Porter that day and it was his birthday. It has been a couple days since Porter's birthday and adoption day, ever since then my morning sickness has come on full force. It's more like every day now. Me and jay decided not to tell anyone the news until after our first doctors appointment. Which happens to be today, we got an early appointment so that we aren't super late into work. Right now we are heading to the doctors office when we get there I sign in they call me back within five minutes the nurse takes my vitals and also draws my blood  then she leaves and we wait on the doctor to come in

ED= ( 10 minutes later knocking on door) hey guys how are we today
J= we are good doctor how about yourself
ED= I am doing fine
E= that's good to hear
ED= so I got your blood work back and you are indeed pregnant Erin so congrats to you guys
J= why thank you
ED= so let's take a look at your baby to determine how far along you are so just lay back and lift up your shirt
E= all right I know the drill
ED= ( put the wand on her stomach) actually it looks like you were still not far enough along to do it this way so I will leave will you take your pants off so we can do it the other way
E= all right ( she leaves)
J= can I please do that I love to take your pants off
E= jay Alexander
J= what
E= The doctor just left and besides it's too late I'm done already
J= you are no fun
E= whatever ( knocks) you are  good doctor
ED= all right let's try this again ( puts the little one inside her) sorry this may feel weird)
E= it's all right
ED= and there is your baby
J= wow so tiny
ED= do you guys want to hear the heartbeat
J= yes we do
ED=  all right here it is (heartbeat sound)
E= oh my
J= The most amazing sound ever
E= couldn't agree more ( kiss her)
ED= oh my wait a second. ( turns the screen)
J= what's going on
ED= oh yeah that's it
E= dr. what's going on
J= it's something wrong
ED= here take a look ( turns the screen back ) so here is your baby
E= yes it is
ED= well turns out that you have another baby hiding behind your first baby
J= wait doctor are you saying what I think you're saying
ED= yes I'm saying that congrats guys you're having twins
E= well ain't no way how is that possible
ED= it's possible to have twins even if it doesn't run in  either of your families
J= wow that's
E= i'm beyond shocked
ED= so based on The measurements of both your babies you are almost 9 weeks along and that put your due date to be May 7
J= wow that's crazy
ED= so everything else looks good so I will see you guys here in another four weeks
E= all right thanks

The doctor leave so we gather up all her things and head to the front desk to make the next appointment then we head out to the car so that we can go to work

J= wow that
E= that was a shocker
J= oh yeah so can I say that I have some super sperm to get you pregnant this time around
E= this isn't funny Jay
J= come on Erin it's kind of funny
E= it may be funny but still we are going to be having five kids here the next few months
J= we will handle it together we are the best team there is
E= yes good point
J=  so let's head to work and tell everyone we are having twins
E= actually before we go I want to run something by you
J= okay what is it
E= what if we didn't tell people we are having twins at all
J= like hide your pregnancy the whole time
E= no that's impossible there's no way I can hide my growing pump that long
J= also our job isn't the most safe job to hide a pregnancy at
E= not at all but what I mean is when we tell you on the news we only say we are having one more baby not two
J= good idea but will we tell them eventually like maybe when we find out the gender
E= I think it'll be fun to hide it from them the whole time like they won't find out we are having twins until they are both born so what do you say
J= you know what that sounds like fun let's do it
E= all right Great let's get to work before Hank is mad at us for being late
J=  good idea let's go
