Not So Little Secrets

Chapter Thirty: Creating New Lives

Santana's POV:

About a week after Britt proposed we had a doctors appointment and you won't believe what we found out.

"Hello ladies, nice to see you." Doctor Johnson said.

"Hey Doc." I say holding Britt's hand as she keeps bouncing her knee nervously.

I know she's nervous because this is her first time going through any of this. It can be a bit overwhelming... But luckily she has me here to help her through it.

"So you're here just for a check up to make sure your baby is healthy, right?" She says while looking at us.

"Yes." I say.

"Okay. Im going to set this up, so if you could please lift up your shirt to just above your stomach, that would be great." She says as she turns to set up the ultrasound machine.

Pulling my shirt up, I look over at Britt while I wait for Doctor Johnson.

"What's wrong babe?" I asked as I intertwined our fingers again.

"Nothing, just nerves." She says taking a deep breath.

"Relax, it's gonna be okay." I say giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Okay, are you ready?" The doctor asked as she walked over to me with the gel.

I turned to look at Britt and when she nodded her head, I looked back to the doctor.

"Yes we are."

"Okay, so this will be a little cold." She says just before she puts enough gel on my stomach.

"So what exactly are we gonna be doing today?" Britt asked the doctor as she turned the screen to face us.

"Well we're gonna check to make sure that the baby body is developing correctly. Like the arms, fingers, legs and toes... Also we're gonna make sure the baby has a strong and healthy heartbeat." Doctor Johnson says as she grabs the probe.

"Okay." Britt say nodding her head.

"Before we start... Would y'all like to know the gender of the baby?" Doctor Johnson asked.

"We've discussed this and we decided that we don't want to know yet... Maybe at the next check up, but not now." I say.

"Okay well let me adjust the screen a bit. I will turn it towards me just in case a gender revealing body part is shown. Then I'll turn it back towards you for y'all to see." She says as she turns the screen.

"Okay ready?" She says as I nod.

She places the probe on my belly and starts sliding it around while looking at the screen.

"Okay let's see. So the baby is..." She says before cutting herself off and listening closely to the sound in my stomach.

"The baby is what?" Britt asked worried.

"Umm... So if you listen closely... You can hear that there are two beating hearts." She says while looking back at the screen.

"So that means..." I mumble to myself.

"We're having twins." Britt says while squeezing my hand a bit tighter.

"Because this is your first ultra sound, that is the reason we are just finding this out... You are only 13weeks pregnant, so this isn't uncommon considering you found out you were pregnant 3weeks ago." Doctor Johnson says as she turns the tv towards us.

"Okay so we've already established that both babies have a strong heartbeat, and if you look here... That is one of your babies." She says while pointing to the baby blur on the screen.
