When Dreams Become Reality

Part 27

It was now the 13 week mark and it was all getting really exciting. I was heading over to my appointment and unfortunately Patrick had to leave for a race in Brazil, so Carly is coming with me. Today I was going to tell her that she was going to be the babies godmother. I thought long and hard on this. I know many people pick their siblings, but I only have a brother and I am not that close with Patrick's sisters because I never seen them. So when talking with Patrick about who should be godparents he was totally fine with it and I know we will have more kids in the future, so they will have their chance. So we decided for the twins we would chose someone outside of the family. He was going to pick the godfather and I would pick the godmother, but of course we talked it over who it was going to be. However Patrick is still trying to find that one person.

I pull into the OB with Carly and we go in and check in. We wait for the nurse to call me back. I look up from the magazine that I am reading and notice someone staring at me, but it is not just a random stranger, no it is Ellen. She gets up and walks over to me.

"Hey Sam."

"Hey Ellen how are you?"

"Pretty good. You?"

"Pretty good too. Fancy seeing you here."

"Yep just here for an appointment with my OB. What are you doing here?"

"Oh just the same. Oh sorry I am being rude. Ellen this is my longtime friend from high school Carly, and Carly this is one of Patrick's costars Ellen Pompeo."

"Nice to meet you Carly. What brings you to LA?"

"It's nice to meet you too, and I am here to try to get my music career going. Sam and Patrick were nice enough to let me stay with them while I try out my music career and see if it is infact what I want to do."

"Well if you have something that you recorded I could give it to my husband is a music producer so he could help you get into the business if you would like."

"That would be great! I will give it to Patrick when he gets back to give it to you."

"Awesome. Well I'll let you two enjoy your day and Sam congrats."

"Thanks."

I'm now on the exam table ready for my ultrasound. I really wish Patrick was here with me because I am hearing the heart beat for the first time, but I will be getting a disc of the ultrasound so he can hear and see it. And after my appointment Carly and I are going to get a doppler so that we can listen to it all the time.

"Ok Sam ready to see your babies again."

"Yes."

Then the babies came on screen. They have grown so much since I saw them.

"Ready to hear the heartbeats?"

"I have been waiting seven weeks for this...yes."

The room is filled with the sound of the first heartbeat. My eyes fill with tears. Carly offers me her hand.

"God I wish Patrick was here."

"He wishes he were hear too, but he will not miss another one. He promised you that. Trust me he was heart broken when he told me that he would miss your ultrasound."

"Well Sam, the babies look really good. They are in perfect position and you probably have a natural birth which is what you wanted and with twins that isn't always the case. So as long as they don't change positions by the start of your third trimester you will most likely be able to have a natural birth."

"Thank god. I didn't want to have a c-section unless it is absolutely my only choice."

"Well I will see you back in another seven weeks and hopefully we will be able to see what you are having if you guys still want to know."

"Oh yes we do."

"Great, so if you don't have any questions here are your ultrasound pictures and video and I will see you in seven weeks."

"Thank you."

"So where do you want to eat at?" I say to Carly as we walk out of the baby store where we got a doppler and something for daddy.

"Well I would love something fresh and not to heavy."

"Hmm well we could go to this deli by where Patrick films or we could try this new place down the street?"

"Hmm I'm starved let's try that new place."

After eating lunch we decide to go around to the other shops in the area. I honestly love shopping around this area because there are always less paparazzi, and I can have some privacy while out shopping. When we return home I make us some stir fry and we sit on the couch watching "Case 39" together. It is nice having someone around when Patrick is gone. It gets really lonely when his away to race because I can't always get away because I have a job too. This is kind of what it will be like having kids around the house even though they are way younger than me and can't be someone to share my every thoughts with, but it will be nice having other people around in this big house.

Once the movie is over Carly decides to go to bed before getting up early in the morning to work on some music. I then head up to my bedroom get into some pjs and grab my laptop to skype Patrick.

"Hey babe." He says coming up on screen.

"Hey I missed you so much today."

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there today, but how is everything with the babies?"

"Everything is looking really good. Babies are in the right position right now for a natural birth so as long as they don't shift in these next few months we should be good to go for a natural birth."

"That's great." He says with a sad look in his eyes.

"Patrick baby it is ok I got the ultrasound video, some new pictures, and a doppler so we can watch and listen any time we want."

"Can we listen now?"

"Sure." I went to go grab the doppler and blue gel to put on my stomach.

"Okay ready?"

"God yes."

I put on some of the gel and turn on the dobbler. Once I find the first perfect spot the sound of a heartbeat fills the room. I look at the screen of my laptop and see Patrick's eyes filled with tears.

"Patrick are you ok?"

"Yeah it is just that sound was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. God I wish I could have been there."

"I wish you were there too, but you didn.t miss finding out the sexes so that is good."

"I wouldn't miss that for the world."

"I love you so much."

'I love you too, and I wish I could talk to you longer, but I really need to get back to sleep I have a long day of practices tomorrow before the race on Sunday."

"Ok well be safe and I can't wait for you to get home."

"Neither can I. I love you and I will talk to you tomorrow, but earlier than tonight because I need my sleep."

"Of course. I love you."

"I love you too and the babies."

"Talk to you tomorrow bye."

"Bye..."

A/N Well there is a new chapter. I am still trying to decide if I should skip to her next doctor's appointment or do something else next chapter, so it would be awesome for some advice on what to do for the next chapter.
