WOSO One-Shots

One Plus One (Ellie Carpenter)

"Congratulations you two! It's twins!" My OB/GYN says.

"Wait. Wait. T-twins?" I ask. It's been six months since Ellie and I got married and we decided to get a round of IVF. We were told it didn't work, but apparently it did.

"Babe. We are having twins. Twins."

"Two. Dos. One times two. One plus one." I say, still in disbelief.

"Yep. Two babies." My OB says.

"TWO BABIES! ELLIE WE ARE GOING TO BE MUMS!"

"So, El and I have an announcement." I pause for a bit, letting the suspension build.

"Just spit it out!" Caitlin yells.

"Okay, okay. No need to be aggressive mate. Ellie and I are expecting." Everyone goes wild, "You didn't let me finish. Ellie and I are expecting twins." We got an array of reactions from the team. Some started crying.

"Why are the youngest on the team expecting and I'm still single." Lindsey rumbles.

"Linds, you've got me!" Sonnett yells, making everyone go quiet.

"HA! YOU OWE ME TWENTY DOLLARS SINCY! PAY UP!" Kling yells.

"Wait, so yall are a thing?" I ask, pointing between Sonnett and Linds.

"Yep." Emily goes into her duffel and pulls out a ring. Everybody's jaws drop to the turf. "Guys don't worry. Don't worry. It's only a promise ring!"

"That would be too much in one day," I say, laughing. There is a pain on my right side.

"El, I just got a weird pain on my right side. We should go to the hospital, I don't want to risk anything."

"Guys, we need to head out, but we'll see you later," Ellie says quickly. She then grabs my hand and swiftly leads me out of the stadium and into the car.

"It was just a false alarm. Nothing to worry about."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep, 100%." Thank fuck.

"Okay thank you." She leaves the room and I break down. "We-we could have lost our babies. I couldn't have lived with myself if I would have lost our babies. I know how bad you want this. I know how bad we want this."

"Calm down. You didn't lose our babies. Look at it that way. I know in seven months time, you will give birth to our sweet little angels."

"I love you so much," I say kissing my wife.

"I love you too."

---

"You two ready to find out the genders?"

"More ready than we'll ever be."

"Okay, well, let's get going." She lifts up my shirt then starts rubbing the jelly all over my stomach.

I see my two angels appear on the screen. I still tear up when I see the picture. I look over at my wife and she squeezes my hand.
