Chapter 38 : Reveal
The tension in the ultrasound room with us felt like it could be cut with a large steak knife.
I was already nervous enough coming to this appointment, so this wasn't helping.
Nobody was saying anything, the three of us just sat there waiting on the tech to come in.
The room was very comforting at least.
A decent sized white leather couch sat on one side a few feet away from the patient table. In the corner of the room there were several fake potted bamboo plants, the tallest one had branches that covered a huge portion of the wall, small framed floral paintings covered the remaining portion.
A 70 inch flat screen tv faced the table I was on which also was able to be viewed from the couch where Masika and Skye were sitting.
Deion stood next to me holding my hand. He squeezed it gently every couple of minutes as a reminder that he was right there.
It had only been about 10 minutes but that felt like 10 hours.
I huffed out loud as I threw my head back, now looking at the ceiling above the bed I laid in.
They had decorated the ceiling with a dozen of little multi-colored butterflies, I'm assuming it helps with anxiety while laying in the bed for an ultrasound.
"Oof!," I yelled out.
"What's wrong?!," Deion asked, concerned as ever.
"Nothing I'm okay. Just a strong kick."
"Awe that's so precious," Masika cooed.
Deion turned around and glared at her silently, I gulped.
"Babe, be nice."
I know he was just being protective, that was one of the main reasons I loved him so much.
He always looked out for my best interest and safety, the babies as well.
I wasn't mad about that, I just wanted everything to stay peaceful.
A few moments later the tech walked in.
The biggest feeling of relief came over my whole body.
"Hi Naomi, you ready to find out what these little ones are?," she asked.
I gulped, "Yes."
She hit a couple buttons on a remote and suddenly the ultrasound main screen mirrored onto the tv screen.
My feet dangled from the table swaying back and forth, I was so nervous.
Deion placed his hands on my shoulders and helped me lay back more so that the tech could get a good angle, shortly afterwards she poured warm gel onto my belly.
The ultrasound probe moved across my tummy gently back and forth, my palms begun to sweat, I was so scared.
I closed my eyes, out of fear and so much excitement.
