In the moment

Oh baby

It's been almost 2 weeks since she had the home visit from the dr. Now she finds her self sitting in the waiting area of the antenatal ward. She had her hat pulled low with her hoodie up, a Jack grealish special when he has to go anywhere public. She was just hoping that no one noticed her. She waited 20 long minutes till she was called in for her scan.
She laid back on the bed the anxiety running through her veins. It was a weird feeling, this really wasn't planned and she didn't think they were ready for a baby yet but on the other hand, she wanted everything with Jack.
The nurse places the cold gel on sophs belly before pressing the machine uncomfortably into lower abdomen. The silence is killing her and she can't see the screen, just the emotionless look on the nurses face. She knew something was wrong, she was taking to long. She exhaled loudly trying to calm herself down.
'Sophie' the nurse said trying to get sophs attention. She closes her eyes preparing herself for what was about to come. She opens them and she spins the screen round. 'There's two babies' she wasn't sure if she felt relief or like she could pass out. She sat watching these two little babies on the screen back flipping and kicking there legs. She felt so guilty when she watched it that Jack couldn't witness it to.
'Are you sure? Soph asks but the nurse just nods as she captures images of them rolling around. 'Can I take a video?'
The nurses pushes her mouth to one side but then speaks, 'we shouldn't really let you, but seen as thought this is a rare occasion of multiples I'll let it slide' Soph points her phone at the screen and records them.
She leave the hospital with a handful of photos, trying to figure out how to break the news to jack. Or how's she going to explain she kept this a secret for almost 2 whole weeks. She was already 13 weeks pregnant, not far off half way.
She sits in her car thinking, and the perfect idea comes to her
________________________________

Shes sat at home with mae waiting for Jack to finish training. She managed to swing by a few shops on the way home and made Jack a little present, which is sat wrapped perfectly on the coffee table.
4pm Jack comes through the door, he's mad from training 'how was training babe?' She asks as he aggressively kicks his sliders off.
'Shit, peps shouted at me all day. Can't do nout right, I'm sick on it' his eyes dart to the brightly wrapped present 'what's that?' He asks her
She hands it over to him and sits mae on her knee 'it's for you'
He opens the box and pulls out a Man City baby grow 'it's abit small for mae ain't it?' He holds it up in front of him.
'Turn it round' she's smiling but she scared of his reaction. He's staring at the back of the baby grow.
'Twin 1?' He lowers the baby grow to look at Soph then holds it back up again. He pulled the second baby grow out the gift box 'twin 2?' He questions again
'There's one more thing in there' he pulls out a card and opens it, a scan photo inside. He tilts it left and right trying to work it out then looks back at Soph, his eye welling up 'Soph are you?' He wipes the tears out of his eyes before going over to her 'Soph are you pregnant?' He asks managing to say the full sentence.
She grins at him 'we're having twins Jack' he falls to the floor in front of her, his head in her knees
'Your not having me on are you?' She shakes her head at him and he looks at mae 'ya gonna be a big sister mae!!' He beams at her before resting his hand on sophs stomach 'how long have you known?' He's asked the question Soph has wanted to avoid.
'Since this morning' she replies a half lie, she had only known it was twins since then. He's looking at her confused. 'Is that what's been making ya bad?' He asks but before she can reply 'oh moi god me moms gonna be buzzing yknow, an me sisters'
Hes now bouncing around taking pictures of the baby grows and scan photo he attaches it to the family group chat but before he sends it he looks at Soph 'can I?'
She pulls him in for a cuddle 'yeah but no social media!'
He attaches the photos

She jumping up and down when it connects
'It's the truth ain't it jacks?' She asks again
'Yeah mom, twins'

His mam clearly missing the twins memo
'Really?' She's stopped jumping but she's crying now
'I'm gonna be a nana!' His dad takes the phone
'Congratulations to you both, you've done a great job there, two eh'
His mum shouting in the background 'ask him when their due'
'14th February'
His mums now hysterically crying and Jack and Soph are laughing at her reaction.
'We've got to go mom but we'll come by next week okay!'
They agree and she hangs up.

Jack looks at Soph, 'can I tell the lads?' His grins so big she can say no to him.

'City's got two new players on loan lads'
Attaches the scan photo

Phil - i don't believe it

John - jo said she fucking knew it!

Walker - wow two mini jacks running around, scary thought!

Phil - your not joking are you?

John - congrats guys!

Soph sits down next to him 'I almost forgot watch this!'
She holds her phone out to show him the video of the ultrasound
'There moving a lot them, can you feel it?' He asks her placing his hand on her tummy again
She giggles, 'it's to early to properly feel anything yet, but 3 weeks we can find out their genders? '
He looks at her bouncing with excitement 'can I come?'
Her heart melts, what was she so afraid of!
