"Hey, you came at the perfect time!", Ophelia says as Lydia is dragging the ultrasound across her belly.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Shepherd was interrogating me about all things neuro", grabbing a chair to sit next to Ophelia.

"Did you get everything right?", Ophelia grins up at him.

"Apparently not. He told me to do my homework", he pouts.

"Aww, don't worry baby. I'll have a talk with him. Make sure he's not too hard on you and everything", squeezing his hand in reassurance when Lydia clears her throat.

"So Ophelia, how are you feeling? You're at around 14 weeks now", her eyes darting between the screen and Ophelia.

"I've been getting cramps. They feel worse than my period ones and- Oh, something's wrong isn't there? That's why you're asking me that question. Oh, James, I told you I would-", throwing her head back on the pile of pillows as she bites down on her bottom lip.

Lydia chuckles a bit. "That's not cramps. They're kicking now. I know it feels weird at first, but have you noticed when they're kicking?"

"When I'm in surgery or trying to rest", she grumbles. "Now they're being good I guess", looking down at her belly.

"Any extreme back pain?"

"Nothing I can't handle, doesn't distract me", she chuckles.

"I'm gonna suggest you wear flats at work now-"

"But I wear trainers-"

"Complete flats. Plimsoles really. You know what I mean?"

Ophelia sighs out a yes. "You said you wanted to keep on working throughout the pregnancy. Which I absolutely respect and agree with, but you have to take measures to help you out", the OB continues.

"So what else should we be doing then?"

"Start investing in loose clothes. They're gonna be your best friends, and the way these two are growing, you'll run out of clothes quickly. I'm gonna give you this- oh, have a look", she smiles, turning the screen.

Bucky stands up, trying to get a closer look. "She's smiling. She is a girl right?"

"Yes, still two girls", Lydia smiles.

"Wait, wait, take the photo now! They're both smiling!", Bucky commands her, nearly jumping up and down in excitement. He could really make out their facial features now.

"Would we be able to get four copies this time? We want official ones for their brothers", Ophelia asks softly. Lydia purses her lips together, thinking about it.

"Only because you work here Doctor Barnes. Don't tell my boss", she shakes her head as she changes the system. "Okay, um, yes, I'm going to give you this note. One of you needs to go up to dermatology to get a cream. It's gonna help with the stretch marks. Just hand them this note, say it's from me, and you'll be sorted. Only other thing is keep doing what you're doing. They perfect", handing them the photos.

Ophelia's smiling as Lydia wipes off the gel, her finger tracing over the shape of the babies. "They have your nose James", she whimpers as she sits up.

"They have your nose. Let's hope they don't get your terrible eyesight as well", he chuckles, helping her up and guiding her out of the room. "Thank you Lydia. See you soon!", closing the door behind him.

"Ooh, there's Derek. I'll speak to him, you go up to dermatology. See you at lunch?"

Bucky kisses the corner of her mouth as he starts to leave. "Page me if they kick yeah?", she nods and shoos him away as she approaches Derek.
