" I'm so nervous. You know there's a high possibility that I might not be pregnant?"
" Yes and we'll try again because the doctor has already given us a clean bill of health."
" Yeah, today's results are not the end all."
" Now that's the spirit. Relax before you hurt my baby."
Her dimple popped as she tried to hide her smile. I loved this woman and all her anxiety. Her need for everything to be perfect and not disappoint anyone. Her tendency to put everyone first and forget to take care of herself.
" You can go in the doctor's waiting for you."
Zizo intertwined her hand with mine and kept them like that even when she got into the hospital bed. One would think she has serious abandonment issues but I love when she needed me and not in the narcissistic way.
" Well let's see what's going on in here ladies._ This is interesting..."
" What's interesting?"
" You're wife is definitely pregnant but it's not just one baby-"
" Okay twins is no issue, there's two of us we can handle them."
Zizo kept our hands intertwined the whole time and every time the doctor spoke she squeezed my hand a little. The doctor smiled, we have become close since Zizo started going to her and we found out she is dating one of my teammates.
" I know that you can handle twins but can you handle quads?"
" Quads as in four?"
" Yes."
Zizo sat up with a gasp, my hand suddenly felt empty. In her moment of shock she had let go of my hand.
" Do you mean to tell me that I'm currently pregnant with not one or two but four _ I've got four little four humans growing in me right now?"
" That's exactly what I'm saying Zizo. In twenty-six weeks you'll have little humans, half you and half Pres here in your home."
" How? How is that possible?"
" Like I explained the last time the nympho-three-thousand works and sometimes it works too well."
She explained to us while I sat back in my chair thinking of how we are going to raise four babies at the same time. They already say one baby is a handful, we were expecting four.
" Is it wrong that I don't know how to fell about this. I mean I want children but not all at once."
Thank God, Zizo spoke first. At least I was not the only one stressing out about having quadruplets.
" Zizo it's normal to be anxious and you're still early in the pregnancy_ you have options."
The pause as she spoke told me she was not for those options. Zizo looked at me with a face riddled with stress, guilt, confusion and helplessness. I felt the same way but I still smiled then squeezed her hand.
" We'll figure it out love."
" It's four of them. Sure maybe we won't have such a hard the with them for the first few months but what happens as they grow, eat and go to school."
" Zee stop stressing. You're the one who always says the universe doesn't give you anything you can't handle."
" Really?! You're going to use my words against me in this moment."
" That's not what I'm doing.-"
" Well this is one blessing I can't handle. It's four kids and all of the same age and I'll probably be alone with them most of the time."
" I'm going to be there too. We do get a few weeks maternity leave you know."
" A few weeks then it's back to practice and travelling for games. Oh Lord what have I gotten myself into."
" We've been blessed and we'll be fine_ together."
I hope.
