It's a Jeep

*beep* I looked to my left, revealing Shawn in a black Jeep. I gave him a disapproving look, but couldn't help but chuckle and bit. "Really?" Was my only response when I got to the passenger door. "Well it seemed more like a family vehicle, than the car or truck." He commented. All I did was shake me head and looked down. "What? It's very practical actually!" He got excited. "There's lots of space for lots of stuff. Lots of seats, good size, comfortable, looks amazing," "yeah okay, I get it, you like the Jeep." I laughed. "You're cute when you laugh" I rolled my eyes. "You'll always think I'm cute." I blushed a little. "Well you always are" he complimented. This time I hid my face in embarrassment, because I was blushing so hard. "So why exactly did you get a Jeep?" I asked Shawn. "Because it's a better family vehicle. I said that." He stated. "And because you think the Jeep is cool." I mumbled. "I heard that! Don't insult the Jeep." Shawn lectured. "You're such a child." I chuckled. I hadn't even noticed Shawn wasn't driving home until now. "And we're here." He stated as he parked the Jeep. I noticed we were at the doctors for our ultrasound. "Are you ready?" I nervously asked Shawn. "No the question is; are you ready?" He asked me. "I'm nervous." I admitted. "Don't be." He reassured. "You say it like you've been through this before." I commented. "No. I'm nervous when I go away and leave you here alone." He confessed. "You get a little bit nervous, when you think about me" I joked. "It's true though. I worry about you babe." I was ready to end this conversation now. People worried about me. "Can we not talk about this?" I whispered and put my head down. "We can talk about it when you're ready." Shawn rubbed my hand ,gently, with his thumb. "Don't be ashamed of it. I had struggles of my own too." "I know. I just get kinda uncomfortable talking about it and I don't really like talking about it 'cause I don't want that to be the way people view me." I looked up, holding back tears. I didn't move as Shawn and I made eye contact for the few seconds it lasted. Quickly Shawn looked away, opened his door, and hoped out. Before I could get mine open, a kind gentleman, whom just left the driver's seat of the Jeep, was opening my door for me. He lifted me to my feet and squeezed me tightly in our shared embrace. "Let's go" Shawn whispered. We both removed our arms from around the other, and joined our hands walking in. "Hi" Shawn said as we walked into a smaller room. "Is that Shawn Mendes that I here?" A brunette lady turned her chair in our direction. She looked to be about mid 30's. "Nice to see you again." Shawn greeted her with a side hug, still holding onto my hand. "Oh um Sarah this is my girlfriend Emma." Shawn pointed at me with his free hand. "Hi" I released Shawn's hand to shake hers. "Nice to meet you" her kind voice said. I smiled back. "So, let'a get started." Sarah instructed. Shawn took a seat on a chair by the bed, while I hoped onto the upright bed. Sarah walked over to her desk and handed me some papers. "I'll just need you to fill out theses forms and we can start." She handed me the papers and pen. The papers were typical things doctors needed to know about you. I finished filling out the papers and handed it all back to her. "Thank you" she took the papers. "So from what Shawn has told me, you are pregnant. Correct?" "Yes" "Well congrats to both of you." "Thank you" Shawn and I said in unison. "So when did you find out?" Sarah asked. "Around the end of August." I replied. "Okay well, I'm gonna give you an ultrasound, to give a rough idea how far along you are." she said. I looked at Shawn while she wheeled her equipment over to the bedside. Shawn smiled at me before I looked back the other way. She squeezed the tube, and moved around above my stomach to cover a large area. The gel application reminds me of toothpaste coming out of a tube. To be honest it kind of tickled a bit landing on my stomach. I searched for Shawn's hand with mine, while Sarah started spreading out the gel with her machine. I laced my fingers around Shawn's hand looking at Sarah examining her screen. Shawn softly placed his lips on the back of my hand. Soon after, Sarah put the image on her screen, onto the tv screen in the wall Shawn and I are facing. "Well you look the be about a month into your pregnancy, so we are looking at early to late May as a due date." Sarah told us. "I can also tell you that you are having twins." She informed. I was in complete shock. I released my grip from Shawn's hand, leaving mine only locked in his. My eyes grew wide, and my hand that was placed on my chest had found its way to over my mouth. Complete and utter shock. I hadn't heard Shawn talk at all since the ultrasound began. I looked over to him, for the first time since we sat down. His head slowly turned until his eyes met mine. Both of us shocked by the fact that we're having 2 babies at the same time. Both of our eyes opened wide, mouths hung open. I looked back over to the tv screen showing us our babies. "Would you like a copy of the scan?" Sarah kindly asked. "Yes please." I replied. "How many?" "Could we have 4?" I asked. "You can. Just give them a minute to print." Sarah told us. "There you go" she handed me the pictures. "Thank you." I said as she wipes my stomach off with a towel. "You're welcome. Now I would like you back in a month, so Shawn can just let me know when you're free." "Okay" Shawn replied. "Congrats" Sarah said again as we left. Walking out to the car neither one of us said a word. It was an awkward silence, opposed to a comfortable one, because I don't think none of us knew how to react to that. I got in the passenger side of the car, as Shawn got in, behind the wheel. "Twins" I stated as a lonely word. It took him a minute to respond, but eventually he did, with nothing more than; "Twins."
