To the Maun and Back

Chapter:23

"I don't care. Your going to do it no matter what I say."

I glared at him. He's been like this since my last ultrasound finding out it was twins instead of one. "It's because I know when to stop. I can still keep going until we find out the gender." I told him. ""You didn't last time and look what happened."

"Yeah I was doing housework and watching R.J at the same time. While you were outside. I want to get through this one without losing one or both." I almost yelled. "Then how about I just leave. Would that make everything better? Because I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I've never had children this close in age before let alone raise twins." He shouted.

"That's the learning experience. You learn as you go. If both of them are the same gender then we know how to raise them." I said. "And if their different?" He asked. "We'll still know how to raise them." I told him.

"When are we supposed to find out?" He asked calmer. "In a week. As long as we can get through that there's a greater chance of both living. I wouldn't mind spending weeks in the NICU with them. Even if they last all of the nine months I'll be happy." I said.

He came up to me and hugged me close to him. "I'll help you around the house the best I can and watch R.J when you need me to. I'll even watch him when you don't need me to." He said. I hugged him tighter.

"Don't squeeze them. I want them too. I don't care how much money it'll take as long as their healthy and strong." He said. "Come on let's go check on the kids."

I took his hand and walked with him to the living room. Bella looked at us wondering what had happened. "Don't worry Bella we're not splitting up. I'm staying with her as long as I'm alive." J.B told his daughter.

R.J came up to him. He picked him up holding him. Bella came up to him. "Dad would you leave me?" She asked. "Of course not. Why would you think that?" He asked her. "My mom told me you didn't want me anymore since marrying her." She answered.

"She's just trying to get you for herself and make me pay for more child support." He told her. Then bent down to hug her. "I may be busy with my career at the moment but once I'm done I will get more time with my girl." He said.

She smiled softly at him. "Don't forget that I always want my children even if their mother doesn't." He said before kissing her forehead. I love their relationship.

Once again at the doctors office for an ultrasound this time for the genders of the unborns. I sat down in a chair after checking in. I looked around seeing several expecting mothers. I remember when I was that big. I couldn't wait for R.J to be born and watch him grow up. Now there's two more coming into the world. R.J was staying at grandparents just for the duration of this then we'll be sharing the news.

Once my name was called we went back to the room. I sat there on the table as she checked their heartbeats. Then the doctor came in. "Alrighty lets check out these two." He said tuning the monitor.

"2D or 3D?" He asked. "3D." J.B and I said at the same time. Right away we saw our babies. I felt J.B squeeze my hand. "I already see a baby boy right off the bat but I can't tell what the other one is." Another boy. I readjusted on the table and the other one moved. "This is new. J.B did you want another boy or girl?" The doctor asked. "Why?" He asked.

J.B quickly went around to look closer at the monitor. "Looks like I'm going to have to look for Bella's old baby clothes."
