"No I don't like that name at all!" Eddie told Jamie on their way to their anatomy scan.

"What!? C'mon, it's mature, it's-"

"It's ancient" Eddie interrupted.

"Huh."

"I really like Scarlett for a girl." Eddie said.

"It's not my favorite. But their either 2 boys or 2 girls. So let's say 2 girls Scarlett and?" Jamie asked.

"Ava or Olivia." She said.

"Definitely Ava, I dated an Olivia." Jamie said laughing.

"Oh haha. Well do you have any girl names?" She asked.

"I still like Elizabeth." Jamie said.

"Ugh. Okay well what about for a middle name? We could do Ava Elizabeth. And then Scarlett...Hope!" Eddie suggested.

"Ava Elizabeth and Scarlett hope. I like them." Jamie said.

"Good. Now what about boys?" Eddie said laughing.

"Jamison Patrick and James Xavier" Jamie blurted out in a second.

"Oh." Eddie said laughing.

"You like them?" He asked.

"Jamison and James...?" Eddie questioned.

"Jamie and James. Yeah." He said.

"No." She said followed by a laugh and shaking her head.

"Okay then what do you have in mind?"

"How bout Jamison Patrick and Cole Xavier." She suggested.

"I like Cole." He said.

"So it's settled"

"I guess so. Just in time too." Jamie said as they pulled into the parking lot of the OB.

"I'm so excited!" Eddie said walking into the building with Jamie holding her hand.

They got back to the room, it was dark and calming. The technician was super nice and helped Eddie onto the bed.

"Alright, is this your first pregnancy?" She asked.

"No, we have two at home!" She told her.

"Okay so you know this appointment is long, measuring a lot of stuff, it's especially longer because there's two?" She asked.

"Yes! And when you get to the gender we wanna know!" She told her.

"Okay great! We're gonna look at that soon just not first, is that okay?"

"Oh of course, do your thing!" Eddie said and the tech got to work, she squirted the gel on her stomach and started looking at the babies.

"Wow there really in there tight" Jamie said watching the screen.

"Yes it is amazing isn't it? Now their identical so you are aware they are going to be the same sex right?"

"Yes!"

"That's the scary part" Jamie added.

"Oh no haha, let me guess, you want boys?" She asked him as she was measuring different parts of the babies on the screen.

"I do but I have one already so I'm happy with whatever." He said.

"Yeah and I don't know what's better, twin boys or girls" Eddie said.
