I hold Joe's hand tightly as we walk towards the maternity ward.
A few people glanced at us. Either  because of my pregnancy and my young look or because they recognise Joe.

We enter and the same lady is in there. I smile and she frowns.
'You're here for the gender I presume?' She says. I mean, it's slightly stereotypical for an Australian to be rude and obnoxious but not like this.
'Yes.' I state.

'Well as you can see there is the baby's head and it's just developing hands and feet. The gender..' She pauses. She clicks around in a computer screen with a billion and one little words and directions on. She clucks her tongue in an irritated manner and I inwardly sigh.
'Ah, there's something..' She says to herself, moving the screen around a bit.
I look at Joe worriedly and he smiles supportively.
'I love you.' He mouths.
'I love you too.' I mouth back, looking then at my ring. I smile.
'Right well it appears to be twins. Two girls. The other one was behind this one here,' she says pointing at the main baby.
I look at Joe who is smiling, his eyes are watery. I've never seen Joe cry.

~~~~~~

'What should we call them though?' I ask, lying on the bed. Joe is editing his new video.
'What ever you want darling..' Joe says absentmindedly.
'Yeah but you need your input too.'
'Mhmm..' Joe says, clicking at the screen.
I sigh.
Ever since we got back Joe has been unnaturally quiet.
'Ok what's up?' I ask, sitting up and folding my arms.
'Nothing, nothing. I'm just tickety-boo.' He says sourly.
'Whenever you say that I know your not. What is it?'
He sighs and spins round on his chair.
'Zoe and Alfie are going through at tough time that's all...'
'What's happened?' I ask worriedly.
He runs a hand through his hair.
'Zoe got pregnant and she had a miscarriage. She lost the baby. She then got pregnant again and the baby died.'
'Oh that's horrible..' I whisper.
'I know. Listen, you name one girl I name the other ok?' Joe says softly, sitting by me on the bed. I snuggle into him and close my eyes.
'Amelie..' I mumble.
And I drift off to sleep.
