Part 37 🐼🦆🦒🦙🍜

Courtney's POV
Today's the day that me and Lucy are going for our scans and to find out the gender of our babies. I can tell she is scared but so am I. Daniel and Zach were hoping to come but they had a meeting that they had to go to. But at least we have each other.

"Courtney Williams" the nurse called out. I guess I'm going first. Lucy guided me down the hallway holding my hand. We entered the room, my nerves were overwhelming me. Lucy sat down on the chair while I laid down on the bed, as the nurse instructed. I was shaking so much and Lucy could tell. She grabbed my hand and squeezed it, letting me know that she was there. I lifted my t-shirt up for the nurse as she applied the cold gel to my stomach. She moved the ultrasound probe around my stomach. "So how far along are you both?" The nurse asked while still moving the ultrasound probe around. "Well I'm 13 weeks pregnant." I told her. "And I'm 14 weeks" Lucy said with a massive smile on her face. "Would u like to see your baby?" I smiled at the nurse and nodded. She tilted the screen so it was facing me. Omg that's my baby right there. "How big is the baby?" I asked the nurse. "About the size of a peach." I have a peach sized baby inside of me. I'm so happy right now. "Would you like to know the gender?" Yes please but can u please write it on a piece of paper. I just want to find out with my boyfriend. The nurse nodded and wrote it on a piece of paper, folded it and passed it to me. "Just one last thing." The nurse instructed. I waited until I heard a thumping noise. Omg that's my baby's heart beat. "Your baby is as healthy as can be." The nurse wiped off the gel from my stomach and past me some baby photos. Now it was Lucy's go.

I held onto her hand like she was doing when it was my go. Somehow she looked more nervous than me. The cold gel was applied to her stomach and the nurse moved the ultrasound probe around her stomach. "Here's your babies" the nurse tilted the screen so Lucy could see. "They are about the size of lemons." She stares at the screen in awe. Lucy started to cry. "Aww Lucy, it's okay." "I'm just so happy right now." I squeezed her hand tight. "Would you like the gender now or later." "Later please." The nurse wrote on a piece of paper, just like she did with mine. She is went back to moving the ultrasound probe around on Lucy's stomach. A sound of a heart beat was heard. "That's peanut one" Lucy told me with a massive smile on her face. A second heart beat was heard. "And that's peanut two." She started laughing to herself. The nurse stayed with peanut two's heart beat, as Lucy would say. It had been about 5 minutes and the nurse was still checking peanut two's heart beat. "Is there something wrong Lucy asked." "Well umm..."
