Bad Things Can Happen On This Journey Called Life

Changes, of many kinds

5 months later and I am still going on strong. Everything is going well and the baby is just fine. today is one of the most exciting doctors appointments, we are finding out the sex of the baby. Beau had stayed in our guest room last night, because mom wanted him to get used to staying here once in a while. I noticed he is really stubborn when you try to wake him up.

"Beau, get up!" I yelled into the spare bedroom.

"Urgg." he groaned.

"Get up! We have a doctors appointment today! Get your butt out of bed!" I yelled back at him, slightly irritated.

"Omigosh! That's right. I'll be out in a second." He replied.

"Okay, but hurry up!"

Ten minutes later Beau and I were to the doctors office.

"Hello, how may I help you today?" the receptionist asked me.

"Hi, my name is Anna Marshall. I have an appointment with Dr. Fisher today."

"Okay," she said as she checked the computer. "Okay, I will let them know that you are here."

"Thankyou," I replied.

We waited in the waiting room for about 10-15 minutes.

"Anna Marshall?" the nurse called.

"Yes?" I replied.

"Come with me please. Dr. Fisher is ready to see you," the nurse informed us.

We walked into the office, I took a seat on the bed and Beau sat across the room.

"Hello Anna, you look wonderful," Dr. Fisher said as he entered the room.

"Hello, and thank you. I'm pretty anxious for today's appointment. We will be ab le to find out what we are having, right?" I asked nervously.

"That is the plan. Well why don't you lay down and we will get started."

The usual routine started. I layed down and pulled my shirt off of my belly. Dr. Fisher started with the ultrasound and explained everything to us like usual, like where the baby's head is.

"Well, do you guys want to know what you are having?" Dr. Fisher asked us.

"Please!" Beau said excitedley.

"Well, by the looks of it, the two of you will be welcoming not only one, but two little girls into this world."Dr. Fisher explained. "I can't believe we didn't see this before, but Anna it looks like you are having twins."

"WHAT?! Twins? Are you insane? Omigosh, twins. Beau can you believe it? We are having twin girls!" I said, way to suprised to be excited.

Uh-huh were the only words that came out of Beau's mouth. I have no idea what to expect from him. I mean one baby was enough, but two at the same time. I don't know if he is going to stay or go.

"Thank you doctor. Is that all?" Beau asked, calm and polite.

"Yup, that's all. I will see you guys in 2 weeks. I am going to change your visits to twice a month, instead of once, because I want to make sure that the babies are okay. Is that alright with you?" Dr Fisher asked.

"Yeah, that sounds great. Thank you again." I said to Dr. Fisher as I left the room.

We left the office, after making an appointment for two weeks later. The whole ride home Beau didn't say a word to me. When we got to my house I switched the car off and turned towards him.

"Let me out." He said blankly.

"Excuse me?" I replied, angrily.

"I said, Let Me Out!" He said, harsher than he needed to.
