*Brooke's POV*

"Ashton, I swear to God if you pass out I'll hurt you." I said. I was sitting, waiting for the ultrasound lady to finish getting ready. Ashton's already passed out once before. When I told him I was pregnant. We were in front of company too! If he even thinks of passing out while I'm actually having the baby he's got another thing coming.

"I'm sorry Brooke. I'm just so nervous! Boy or girl! I don't know!"

The ultrasound lady cut in. "Alright here we go. Just lift your shirt." I did and she put the goo on my belly. It was cold.

She moved it around and looked at the screen. Then we heard the heartbeat. "What's that?!" Ashton asked.

"That's your baby's heartbeat."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

"Alright, let's see what you've got here." She paused for a second. "Oh my!"

"What's the matter?" I asked, suddenly worried. "Is something wrong with the baby?"

"No, not at all. Mrs. Patterson you're having twins."

"Twins?!" I yelled.

"A boy and a girl!"

I looked over at Ashton. His eyes were wide. Then he blacked out. "Oh my God! Ashton get up! Damn it! Not again!"

"He'll be fine. That happens a lot."

"Can I see them?"

"Of course. Here, look."

I looked at the screen. There they are. They are so beautiful.

"Let's take the first picture of your baby!"

I looked down at Ashton. Idiot.

She cleaned off my belly and I got off the bed. Ashton was waking up. "What'd I miss?" He said standing up and putting a hand on his head.

"We're having twins. A boy and a girl."

"Twins! Oh my gosh! This is amazing! Twins! I can't wait to tell our moms!"

"Me too. How about we invite them over tonight?"

"Alright."

All of the sudden I felt a kick. I put my hand on my stomach. "Whoa!"

"What? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just a kick. I wonder which one."

"Probably the boy."

"Maybe the girl. I mean we have a history with girls in my family. It's genetics obviously because of Ally."

"So true. Oh my gosh! We're going to have another you!"

"Shut up." I said laughing.

We got the ultrasound pictures and looked at them. Ashton could stop staring at them. I had to drive home because he was still looking!

When I got back to our house I gave Anne a call and Ashton was calling Theresa.

"Hey mom." I said happily.

She didn't miss a beat. "How'd the ultrasound go!"

"Great!"

"So! Boy or girl?"

"Well, I was going to invite you all to dinner tonight to tell you all at once."

"Oh Brooke you know how I don't like suspense!"
