Insecurity

Chapter 17

Ella's POV:

I was 20 weeks pregnant. My, you could tell! This baby is going to be huge and that worried me I thought.

Lucas and I went to the doctor to find out the sex of the baby. I was so excited.

I woke up to a kick in my stomach. It was around nine. Our appointment was soon. I woke up Lucas.
"You ready!" I was excited.
"Of course!" He replied.

We got in the car and drove to the clinic.
"What do you think it's going to be?" Lucas blurted.
"I want a girl." I replied.
"I want a boy. We can't get both." He joked.
We talked the whole way there. Happiness is not overrated.

I sat in the waiting room. I saw all the ladies who were pregnant like me. Some were bigger. Some were smaller.

I saw a few teenagers who were freaking out. I was a teenager too, but it was different for me. I'm older and out of school.

I imagined my baby, A little girl with brunette hair and sharp blue eyes. Her hair was only fuzz. She was trying to grab the mobile.

She wore a pink short dress. Her eyes were full of happiness like nothing had ever happened to her. Her mind was free of harm.

I blinked and snapped out of the daydream. That's when I made sure that my baby was never going to hurt or sad as long as she was in my care.

I heard my name. I stood up and followed the nurse to our room. I laid on the bed and waiting for the doctor.

She soon came in with a smile on her face. She put the gel on my stomach and moved the thing around.
"The babies are healthy."
"Do you guys want to know the sex of the babies?" She asked.
"No we're good. We want it to be a- Wait? What did you say?" Lucas asked with shock.
"Do you guys want-" she repeated.
"We know what you said. Are we having twins?" He asked.
"Yes. You didn't know? Oh well, you know now. Do you want to know the genders?" She said with a smile.

I started tearing up. We are going to have two babies. I just got used to one. I looked at Lucas. He was tearing up too.

I looked in his eyes. His tears were full of joy, mine were scared. Can I even raise two children? Can I even give birth to two children?
The nurse repeated herself.
"Do you want to know the genders?"
I swallowed back my tears.
"Yes?"
I looked up at Lucas. He nodded.
"Yes. I'm sure. Yes."
"Okay- you're going to have a boy and a girl!" She said with joy.

All my worries melted away. I'm going to have a baby girl and a baby boy. We're going to get both. Lucas and I both get the gender we wanted. It might be a little harder, but I'll love them with all my heart!
