"Look at this." The doctor pointed to the ultrasound, whispering to the nurse. "What's wrong?" I asked. I was at my 7 month point, and I was HUGE. Should I be this big when pregnant? My belly felt like it was about to pop.

"I think there's two." The doctor rubbed his chin. "Two, what?" I asked, laughing. Two what? Did the baby have like two noses or? 

"Two babies! I think you're expecting twins! One of them looks dangerously placed but I think it'll make it through." The doctor nodded, pointing at the ultrasound.

WAIT, WHAT?

2 days earlier

Tal's hand gripped mine, leading my waddling self towards the store front. "The cribs are so expensive." I gasped under my breathe, Tal's excellent hearing catching every word.

"Don't worry about money." He kissed my forehead, making me smile. I loved him.

"Aria, look at  this." He pointed to a small crib. "It's beautiful." I awed over the small crib. All I could imagine was my little baby sleeping peacefully in this crib, it's small hands out to its side and it's small chest rising and falling.

I didn't even dare to look at the price tag. Should I look at the price tag? $500. What the hell!? Why would you charge that much for a crib. 

Tal saw my interest in it, and chuckled. "Don't look at the price tag." He reminded me with a sweet kiss on the neck, and I pat his chest. "I didn't." I lied. He grinned and we continued to shop for the baby's room. Tal had prepared it complete with a white wall, some decorations, complete with some storing space. 

I truly was thankful for his help. He could have left me and this baby in such a bad position, and if he had I probably wouldn't even of kept this bundle of amazingness. 

We shopped all day, Tal showing me some cool things with shelves and picking a dresser for the baby. We tried to keep all colors unisex to make sure we didn't gender the baby. 

Truthfully, I didn't mind getting the baby's gender. I wanted to know it so that we could prepare correctly, but Tal was determined in finding it out at birth.

It was merely 5pm when Tal started setting up the baby's room. He insisted to do it all himself, not even letting me get a whiff of the paint used to cover the walls. We chose an off white for the babys room, and we would let the baby pick their color when they got older. 

I was watching TV eating my favorite snack, a bow of watermelon. I felt so....fat. I always felt that way, and it was hard not to when you could use your belly as a table. "How are you feeling?" I heard Tal ask, his freshly showered self sitting down next to me.

I nodded. "I'm fine! How about you, Mr Handy?" I giggled, kissing his cheek and rubbing his knee comfortingly. "I'm good! Got the crib up, and finished the walls. Tomorrow I will do the dresser, shelves, and we will just go from there." He nodded. 

"I love you." I reminded him, cooing into his ear, and he smiled. "I love you." He kissed my lips and I stopped. What the hell? There was a small kick in my upper abdomen. "Tal!" I smiled, and he questioned me. "What's wrong?" He smiled along with me, and I took his hand.

"Feel." He trusted me, his hand laying on my upper belly. "Oh my gosh!" He freaked out. Tal started to tear up. I loved how emotional yet manly he was. "That's our baby....." He reminded me, and we both stayed content feeling our little monster kick my belly. 

It wasn't painful, it felt like something was in your belly moving. Which was true, there was baby inside of me moving. It felt just like it was supposed to feel. It gave me a warm feeling in my heart, making me smile.
