There is Still Hope

Harry's POV

"Charlotte! Your gonna be late let's go!" I yelled.

"Sorry daddy, I overslept." she explains.

"I know lets go!" I don't want to rush her but she can't go to daycare late. We run inside just as the tardy bell rings.

"Bye honey!" I say.

"Bye daddy!"

I walk to the car and drive to the grocery store. Today I'm the mom. It takes about an hour to get everything and pay for it.

"$133.51 is your total." oops. I pay and load up the basket with the plastic bags.

"Have a nice day." the moody cashier says even though, she doesn't mean it.

"You too." I say and walk out the store. I get to the car and open the trunk and fill it with the bags.

"Here you dropped this." a teen hands me a condom and runs away laughing. I keep it, it's in a box and just in case. I drive back home.

"Harry come here!" Sarah yells.

"Coming!" I run up the stairs.

Look, Tater is on the window seal. Isn't he a cute one?" she teases.

"Yeah, tater is a cutie." I say and kiss her forehead.

"How's the baby?" I ask.

"It's doing good, I'm gonna go to the doctors tomorrow to find our what it is." she says holding the bump.

"It's obviously a baby." I joke.

"Haha, very funny."

"Are you hungry?" I ask breaking the silence between us.

"Yeah a little." she says.

"Ok I'm gonna go make pancakes." I say walking downstairs again and into the fridge to get everything.

I whisper the ingredients as I put them in the bowl.

"Sarah, do you want mint chips in yours?"

"Yes." She says.

BEEP!BEEP!

"REALLY?! Stupid smoke detectors." I hurry to open the doors and run back the pancakes.

She sighs and gets the butter and syrup.

"Harry we have to prepare names." she says grabbing the plate with two pancakes on them.

"Ok, if it's a girl, Ellie. If it's a boy Bradley. Your turn." I say and grab a cup and the orange juice.

"Girl, Alexandrea. Boy, Jordan. Easy." she says and tears apart the pancakes.

"Did you haves them stocked in your mind or something?" I ask.

"No I like those names." she says.

•the next morning•

"Morning." I say rubbing my eyes.

"Good morning."

"C'mon let's get you ready for the doctor." I say helping her out of bed.

"Thank you. Can you get a t-shirt and sweatpants from the closet please?"

"Of course." I go to the closet and pull a magenta t-shirt and black sweatpants.

"Ok I can change on my own." she says.

"I'll be in the bathroom brushing my teeth then." I walk in the bathroom and do as I say.

"I'm dressed." she says and I walk out of the room and downstairs to the kitchen to give Sarah some cereal.

"Jeez I'm pregnant not in a full body cast." she jokes.

"I know but I want to keep you happy."

Once she is done eating we get in the car and drive to the doctors. Luckily it isn't a long drive because she gets carsick easily. We walk inside and check in.

"What do you think it's gonna be?" I ask shoving my hands in my pockets.

"Boy. What do you think it's gonna be?" she asks right back.

"I was hoping you didn't ask because I have no idea." I laugh.

They call her in and I sit next to her holding her hand. I look at the ultra sound and see something extremely shocking. The doctor stands up.

"You, will have twins a girl, and a boy."
