Baby Chinchilla

Doctors Visit

April POV

After the boys found out I was pregnant the rest of my pregnancy went on without a hitch. Well, okay that might be a slight lie but overall everything went fine. About two months in, we went searching in the nearest city for a OBGYN that was familiar with mutants and would be ok with taking care of  a girl who was pregnant with a half mutant child. After, a while of searching for someone that fit these requirements we set off to the nearby city. Turns out our OBGYN’s name was Dr. Tower and she seemed like a very reasonable woman considering she would be willing to see us. When me and Donnie arrived at her office no one else was there so we had her to ourselves. We waited until finally she turned a corner and smiled at us gratefully.

            “So, you must be Donnie and April.” She said as she started walking over to us. We stood up and shook her hand.

            “Yeah, that’s us!” I said nervously looking anywhere but her face. As if sensing my discomfort, Donnie leaned down and grabbed my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine and flashed me a supportive and loving smile.

            “So are we ready to start?” Dr. Tower said as we nodded and led us into the back room where there was a table with a sheet for me to lay on. I lay on the table and pulled up my shirt as she prepared the gel. My stomach didn’t show much yet but still it was firm and slightly swollen. As I made my observations Dr. Tower finished and spread the gel on my pale stomach. I shivered as the cold sliminess made contact. She rubbed it in and turned on the monitor where I could see inside my stomach. The machine started up and she took the stomach-inside-seer thingy and placed it on my stomach and she began moving it to different spots on my stomach.

            “Donnie, look!” I gasped as a newly developing baby showed up on the monitor. And then another. My eyes got slightly wider as my brain processed what was on the screen. I turned to look at Donnie and saw he had the same reaction though he looked a little pale. Well, as pale as a person who had green skin could get. 

            “Twins…!?” Donnie breathed. I could hear his breathing become slightly uneven as the reality set in. Dr. Tower looked at us with apprehension as she said her next sentence.

            “That isn’t it.” Slightly confused by her words we turned back to the monitor as she moved over slightly revealing another two developing babies. Next thing I heard was a thump on the floor which I assumed was Donnie falling to the ground unconscious. My eyes grew to the size of saucers and I was speechless.

            “Quadruplets?!?!?!”
