I waddle nervously towards the front door, words cannot describe how scared and worried I am. My right hand caresses underneath my baby bump, every now & then I feel the joyful kicks of my baby. Once, I'm finally on the porch, I shakily press the white doorbell button on the wall besides the door.

DING DONG
DING DONG
DING -

The door opens widely and Chance's smiling mother comes into view as she stands slightly behind the door. "Adriana!," she says loudly and pulls me into a tight hug. Chance obviously hasn't told her the story yet.
"Look at you darling, You look even more beautiful pregnant. Are you alone ? Where's that cheeky son of mine -,"
Definitely didn't tell her.

"Can we, um, talk inside." I say bluntly and her facial expression falls completely. Her eyebrows borrow in utter confusion and she opens the door allowing me to waddle inside caressing my baby bump. She strolls slowly behind me, we walk inside the dining room area and she pulls out a chair. I whisper a 'thank you' and she sits in front of me , her eyes staring into my soul.

"What would you like to talk about dear? Is this about Chance or -"
"About Chance." I say quickly and she leans forward, her hands folded together on the table.

"Well what about him?," she asks confused and slightly worried. Diana's pinkish sundress is sprawled out on the next chairs and her hair is up in a tight bun giving her facial features a blissful glow.
"He..Chance uh -" the words aren't coming out and my palms sweat. "He cheated on me."

She gasps and covers her mouth, her intoxicating eyes widening from the unbelievable news. She shakes her head denying and then she leans back in her chair, a tear falls from her eyes and I look down sadly.
"Did you leave him darling? I don't know what's gotten into him lately." She says, shocked. She wipes the un fallen tears and leans across the table, grasping my hand in hers.

I nod weakly and she frowns deeply, slight wrinkle lines show around her mouth but she's still beautiful. The house is silent until her mouth opens. "No matter what happens, Adriana, you'll get through this. I suggest you talking to Chance about the incident though." She squeezes my hand and I smile weakly, knowing it's fake.

"How's the baby going anyway, enough about my son."
"The baby is going great, I have an ultrasound tomorrow to see if the baby's breathing is normal and hopefully, I might find out the gender." I say, my body relaxing and her grip loosening on my hand. She pulls back and excuses herself gracefully, I raise my eyebrows confused before she parades back into the room with a large bag.

"What's this?," I ask and a large happy smile covers her face. "I figured you'll need some baby clothes, their unisex but I got a bigger size so when the baby grows he or she will easily fit."

"Oh Diana -" I gasp loudly as I pull out the little clothing, there are two yellow onesies, blue overalls, orange tights and multicoloured tee's. I put the last shirt down and pull her into a firm grasp, she hugs me tightly back and then places a loving kiss on my cheek. She pulls back and her hands grip my upper arms, she whispers 'it's okay to be okay, I promise you."

"This baby's going to get spoilt!" She yells happily before prancing around the room joyfully.

NEXT DAY - ULTRASOUND VISIT

I nervously sit in the plush chair in the hospital. My eyes move from the front desk to a lady who is hurrying inside the doors caressing her overly large belly. Her breathing is rapid and who I'm guessing is her husband - is caressing her back and helping her walk steadily towards the front desk. Their faces are stressed and panicked.

"Help! Nurse, doctor ! Someone." The blonde man yells from behind his wife, my eyes widen as blood trickles quickly down her leg onto the marble floor. An oldish nurse hurries into the room and helps her into a wheelchair, her face is pale and panicked.

"You're experiencing a stressed miscarriage. Mrs and Mr Swaltz, I'm terribly sorry." I hear the nurse mutter to her as they hurry down the corridor.

My palms begin to sweat even more and I think my hair is even beginning to fall out.
What if my baby doesn't make it from all the stress?
What if the babies heartbeat isn't norm-

"Adriana?"
I snap my head towards the open door to see a lady with a notepad in her pale hands. She nods her head towards a room to our left and I follow closely and steadily behind her. I slide onto the narrow bed and her face is emotionless but she looks hard in thought as she gets the equipment out.
I take this moment to look over her, detailed tattoos cover her arms and neck. Piercings cover her right ear lobe and above her arched eyebrow. She carefully lies be back down and I gracefully pull my tank top up, showing my large bump and the wire of my bra. Since the pregnancy, my old bra's no longer fit, I have gone up two sizes and I really hated it. Especially in the heat.

"Congratulations." She says, her chestnut eyes stare into mine. I smile tensely and she pulls out a yellow tape measure, measuring the baby bump. "Is anyone else coming?," she asks with an uneasy tone, I whisper a saddened 'no' and she nods firmly.

She begins to wipe some clear gel onto my tan stomach, it's cold and I look down towards my belly. My hands hold the shirt up as she begins to wipe all around my belly, her eyes are focused on the monitor screen to my right.

I rest my head back awaiting her feedback.
"Both the heartbeats are doing very well."

My head snaps up and my heartbeats fastens inside my body. "B..b..both?"
"You're having twins. A little boy and girl, what a handful."
