"Congratulations Mrs. Wilson, you're having a baby!" Dr. Moore exclaims, not looking away from her computer.

"I'm having a baby!" I exclaim in delight. Okay, one isn't too bad. The girls are going to be ecstatic to find out! We still have to stop and get everything ready for their party today.

"What's that behind the baby?" Jack asks, pointing at the computer screen.

"It's just the shadow," she replies, she turns to face me. I politely smile. This stupid bed is so freaking uncomfortable and I hate the stirrups! "I want you back in here in a month to find out the gender and check on how you are doing." She adds. I nod at her orders. One small problem with that, my pregnancies are not normal! Next time I come in, I'm gonna be as big as a horse!

Dr. Moore leaves the room, shutting the door behind her. Jack crosses his arms across his chest, waiting for me to get up and get dressed. My stomach passionately burns. I groan in pain, I squeeze my eyes shut.

"Leah?" Jack questions. I reach my hand out to hold onto him. I whimper in pain. Jack rubs my back and lets me rest the top of my head on his chest. I open my eyes and look at my stomach.

"Babe, look." I whisper. Jack looks down at my stomach and realizes the significant growth. We look up at the same time, staring into each other's eyes.

Is the room spinning? Cause it seems like it's spinning. I try to focus on Jack but which one? All three shoot me concerned looks.

"Leah?" He calls.

My knees become weak, my head pounds, and my body collapses.

*Back at the house- Ian and Brent are blowing up balloons with the helium machine, Lexi went out to get the cake, Leanne is putting the various flavors of chips into bowls, Cameron is hanging up the decorations, Aria is working on changing the girls outfits for the party, Stacey is stocking the fridge with juice boxes and sodas, and Mel is putting the table cloths on the tables.

"So, how did it go?" Ian asks. I smile and hand him the ultrasound strip.

"We're having a baby!" I exclaim. Everyone stops what they are doing and exclaims. Smiles shine on their faces.

"She fainted at the doctors office." Jack pipes. He walks past me and heads to the fridge.

"Are you alright?" Ian asks. I nod and reply,

"It's not that big of a deal, a lot of pregnant women faint."

"I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby." Ian replies. I sigh and roll my eyes.

All of a sudden, a groan escapes Mel's lips. I look over at her. She clutches her stomach with one hand with her eyes squeezed shut. She grips the kitchen countertop with the other hand.

"You're okay, I'm right here." Cam reassures her. He walks over to her and takes her shaky hand in his. Her stomach slowly protrudes.

I look down at my stomach, suddenly feeling faint, my body shuts down, I collapse to the floor.

"Babe, are you alright?" Jack asks. I turn my head to look at Mel. She's calmed down a little. I look down at my stomach, it's protruded a lot since I was out.

"I'm fine, let's just focus on the girls." I reply. He helps me up and scans my face. "Stop looking at me like that, I'm fine."

"You need to sit down, what are you going to do if you faint during the party? What are you going to do if your stomach grows?" He asks.

Valid point, however, shit needs to get done. It won't get done if I'm sitting. I roll my eyes and sit at the kitchen island. I can put the party favors together! I grab the box of assorted goodies and stuff them in baggies. While it is time consuming and boring as hell, at least I can help.
