Frank Sinatra left after surprising Angel and Husk at their wedding ceremony. At that point, I was already exhausted and it felt like the baby was up in my rib cage doing jumping jacks. As a result, Demetrius and I get up from our table and walk hand in hand over to Husk and Angel's table to give them hugs and congratulate them on their union before then wishing them a happy honeymoon. Demetrius and I turn around and walk out of the hotel ballroom before walking up to a nearby elevator and taking it up to the floor that our bedroom is on. Yes, you heard right.
Demetrius has officially moved into my bedroom with me. Of course, I helped him move his things over the best that I could without putting too much strain on myself or the baby. Since I was pregnant during all of this, Angel and Husk were there to help us move things over to my room. Demetrius and I get upstairs to our room and I place the key card in the lock and pull it out before waiting for it to light up in green and twisting the knob open. We walk in and Demetrius shuts the door behind us.
I walk up to my dresser and pull out this new maternity night gown that Demetrius had bought for me. The baby was growing very quickly and much to our surprise, the doctor had talked to us on the day we got the first ultrasound done and had said that since I took the form of a dog in my afterlife and Demetrius had taken the form of a cat, that the length of the pregnancy would be half the full term of human body pregnancies. So in other words, while typical human pregnancies last up to nine or ten months, my pregnancy would only last up to about four and a half to five months before the baby is due. She had also told us to expect a phone call from the clinic some time before the end of today to discuss the results of the lab work we had done to verify whether or not I was carrying one baby or two. The moment my head finally hits the pillow my hellphone rings.
I let out a groan and roll my eyes before looking down at my phone. Demetrius flushes the toilet and runs out of the bathroom still zipping and buttoning his pants up. I chuckled amused by his excitement. He sits on the bed beside me and I answer it before placing it on speaker phone so Demetrius could hear the results too. "Hello?"
"Good afternoon, this is doctor Cher Mayflower calling to speak with Isabella Sparks about the results of her lab procedures. Is she available?" I clear my throat and look up at Demetrius still feeling exhausted with how busy the day has been. He smiles gently at me and I let out a sigh, "this is she." "Oh, hello how are you feeling today, my dear?
"I'm honestly a bit exhausted. We had a wedding to attend today and it sort of took its toll." "Well, based on the results of your lab examination that doesn't surprise me too much." "Really? Why's that?"
"Well, it turns out that our radiologist on duty was accurate and you are in fact pregnant with twins! Congratulations!" Demetrius fell off the bed and accidentally hits his head against the nightstand. I place the phone down and look over the side of the bed and down at him wincing with concern, "shit, are you alright there, baby?" He nods his head quietly still staring off in disbelief.
I notice that he's bleeding a little bit and move to get up and get the first aid kit from the closet when he throws his hands up, "no baby, stay there on the bed. You've been up on your feet all day. I'll get the kit and bring it over to you." I smile sweetly at his kind gesture and the doctor speaks through the phone, "is everything okay, my dear? Are you hurt?"
"Oh, uh, no mam'm. My boyfriend just fell and hit his head but it's just a small scratch. A simple bandage should do the trick." He walks over to me with the first aid kit and I immediately open it up and reach for the alcohol wipes. "Oh, well if everyone is okay, I just wanted to let you know that both of the babies are girls.
Based on the type of placentas and amniotic sacs that the girls have, I have reason to believe that the twins are identical and not fraternal. The best way to be completely sure however, would be to conduct a DNA test using cotton swabs on the inside of each baby's cheek after birth." "Oh, okay, that's wonderful news doctor! Thank you so much for getting in touch with me so promptly." "But of course, Sweetie!
Like I've told you guys before, we treat all of our patients like family members here and I want to make sure that your pregnancy is as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and the babies." I smile down at the phone and place a hand on my belly to soothe the kicking foot of one of my babies. "Thank you again, doctor. We look forward to seeing you at our next appointment." We say our good byes and then I hang up the phone.
I let out a huge sigh and lay back on the bed again. After Demetrius puts the first aid kit away, he changes into his pajama pants and walks over shirtless and climbs up on the bed beside me and lays on his side facing me and props his head up with one hand and smiles at me before gently kissing me on the lips. I hum and sigh happily while feeling high, on the intense love I have for my unborn babies and the man lying next to me. I smile looking up at him from my pillow and take one of his hands. "Do you want to feel them kick?
They're pretty active right now. I probably should have stayed away from the wedding cake today. I think it made them hyper." He laughs and nods his head at me. I take him by the hand and place it on the part of my belly where the babies are kicking.
His hand rests on my belly and I can tell that he felt it because he jumps slightly and smiles up at me. I wipe away one of his joyful tears and cup his cheek in my hand. He smiles and softly kisses my lips and nuzzles in and lays his head gently on my belly. He begins to purr and after a couple of minutes, they finally stop kicking me. A tear falls from my eye and I smile, "awwww... babe!
The girls love you already! Your purring soothe them." He leans up and places a kiss on my forehead and then reaches over and grabs the throw blanket and wraps me in it, tucking me in. He drapes his arm around my belly and kisses me again, "rest, Mahal ko." I smile and close my eyes. A couple of seconds later I feel him kiss my belly twice and hear him purring affectionately, "good night girls. Your daddy loves you... so much.❤️"
