Avaa POV
The clock read 7:57- we made it just in time. I rushed out the car and into the building. When we got off the elevator, I checked in with Calista and walked into exam room 1. Shortly after, Julia walked in.
"Hey Av-" she started but stopped when she saw Khalil. I forgot to tell her I was going on a date with him last night and would subsequently be showing up to this mornings appointment with him, so she's definitely surprised he's here.
"Hi, we met yesterday, I'm Khalil." Khalil said reintroducing himself.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Julia Manuel. I'm also a really good friend of Avaa's, we went to med school together."
"Oh that's really cool." he said in response.
"Ok! So you're ready to see the baby?" Julia said directing her attention to me.
I could tell Khalil was getting excited in the chair next to me because he started to fidget. I just smiled a little,
"Yeah I'm ready now. We talked about somethings yesterday and last night, and we're in agreeance about keeping the baby."
"Alrighty then, lets take a look. You know the drill, pull your shirt up for me." Julia instructed and I obliged. She put the gel on my belly and placed the doppler over it, moving it around. I stared at the small screen connected to the machine while Khalil looked at the bigger screen that the machine projected the images onto. Julia kept moving the doppler around on my belly and I noticed a slight look of shock come over her face before it went away.
"Uh-Avaa, you uh you might want to look at the big screen." She said adjusting the doppler once more. Looking at the big screen, I saw something weird.
"Is that what I think it is?" I said looking at Julia and she just nodded.
"What is it?" Khalil asked
"Khalil, it looks like Avaa here is pregnant with triplets."
Khalil's mouth hit the damn floor when he heard that.
"Triplets as in three? Not one or two, but three?" he said.
Julia just nodded in response. She took some pictures and printed them out for us then wiped my stomach off. I got off the exam table to stand and I could feel myself getting dizzy.
Three. THREE whole babies. What the hell am I going to do with three babies.
All of a sudden my vision started to go black and I felt myself falling. Thankfully, Khalil was right beside me and caught me before I hit the floor. He sat me in a nearby chair and Julia came over with water. I drank it and started to feel better. But I still felt weird so I asked Khalil to grab me a ginger ale from the vending machine. As soon as the door closed behind him, Julia started talking.
"Are you ok?"
"Julia, what am I going to do with triplets? I was barely sure I could have ONE baby, now I'm having 3 of them!"
"Oh honey, you'll be a great mom. Regardless of how many you are having, I know that much so never doubt it. And as for triplets, I told you I'd be here for whatever you chose to do and I am. I have no problem helping out with those kids, they are my nieces or nephews or both after all."
"H-how am I supposed to tell my family?" I said
"Just like you would anything else, if you want, I can be there when you do it for moral support."
"Yeah that would be great honestly."
"Then I'm there. When are you going to do it?"
"Well shit, I have to do it soon. I can't hide them for much longer. Hell in a few weeks, it'll be impossible. Maybe I'll do it during family dinner later tonight."
