-Chapter 71
Jenny's POV
I looked to the clock on the wall, my appointment was supposed to be twenty minutes ago, but that's England for you. Your appointment is never when they say it is. My foot tapped anxiously against the floor as I glanced around at all the other mothers in the room. Most of them were quite far along, I was the only one in the room who still didn't look pregnant. Maybe I do though to other people, who knows... Soon, a hand was placed on my knee which was bouncing up and down. I glanced down at the hand on my knee. "Calm down babe," Niall chuckled as he rubbed my knee gently.
"I just hate these early ultrasounds, like what if the baby isn't developing properly like before and-"
"Darlin', don't panic, I'm sure everything is already," Niall assured me, leaning down and pressing his lips gently to mine.
"God, I'm about to wet myself," I muttered as Niall wrapped an arm around me, rubbing the smalls of my back gently. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to the top of my head, kissing it gently.
"I can't wait to see our little 'un," Niall pressed a hand to my stomach gently. "Remember the first time we saw Bell?" He asked and I nodded with a smile. "Are we going to tell Bella about the baby?"
"Well eventually, but I don't think we should tell her until we know for sure the little one is going to be fine. We wouldn't want to confuse her, telling her she's getting a sibling and then she doesn't," I said and Niall nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, that would be the right thing to do. Sometimes I wish she never thought Mason is her brother," he sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"She still calls him her bro, it's kind of cute," I smiled, glancing up at him.
"It is actually," Niall admitted with a chuckle and just as he was about to speak again, my name was called. I quickly stood up and took Niall's hand, leading him into the room. The lady laid me down on the bed, Niall not letting my hand go the whole time.
"Is it your first?" The lady asked with a smile as I lifted my top.
"No," both Niall and I said simultaneously which made me smile softly.
"We have a little girl already," I said with a smile as she put some tissue at the waistband of my trousers. She nodded with a smile and got the gel out. I felt as though I wanted to puke as I watched her do this. It honestly made me feel so scared, I was just hoping it would all be good news.
I soon felt the cold gel on my stomach which she moved around as she tried to get a good image of the baby, neither Niall or I could look at the screen. Niall was holding my hand, looking down at the floor while I was staring at the ceiling. The room was silent. Nobody was saying anything.
I looked to the lady at the ultrasound machine who was frowning as she glanced at it. She looked through my file before looking back at the screen. "Is this your first ultrasound?" She asked. I nodded silently as I watched her with fear filled eyes, Niall's much the same. "I'm going to go get the doctor, I'll be right back," she said and immediately my eyes filled with tears.
"No," I shook my head as a tear rolled down my cheek. "No, don't tell me it's happening again," I sat up and put my face in my hands.
"Shh babe, calm down," Niall wrapped an arm around me. "I'm sure it's all okay," he said although it sounded as though he was trying to convince himself more than me.
"No, she only goes to get the doctor when something is wrong. Niall something is wrong," I started to cry into my hands, my body trembling. Niall quickly stood up and sat next to me on the bed, pulling me to his chest. I cried quietly into it, just not wanting to go through this again. It honestly scared the shit out of me. I didn't know how we were going to go through the loss again. The though just made me sob loudly.
"Calm down Jen, please, you're scaring me. Just because she's getting the doctor doesn't mean this is bad. Please, calm down, I'm sure baby is okay," he rubbed my belly gently but I felt wetness on my shoulder where tears were dripping down from Niall's face. I knew he was just as scared about this as I was. It scared me because I knew this one was probably going to hit him harder, he's wanted this baby so badly for so long, but so have I. I've wanted this baby since before Mason. Now with it finally inside me, I felt as though things were going right for us. Now, I wasn't so sure.
"I'm scared Niall," I cried and he nodded.
"I know, I am too," he responded just as the door opened and the nurse returned with the doctor. We both quickly wiped our eyes and Niall moved back to his seat while I lay down.
"Is everything okay?" The nurse asked, looking between us rather baffled. We both just nodded, even though we wanted to ask to make sure our baby was okay; we didn't want to hear the answer we didn't want.
The doctor silently moved the transducer around on my lower abdomen, observing the screen intently. I watched his facial expressions, as he squinted his eyes and then relaxed them. I watched for a frown; there wasn't one. I watched for a smile; there wasn't one. I watched for any change in expression then, all he did was purse his lips. That's not good, is it?
"Do you know how far along you are?" The doctor asked finally after what felt an eternity.
"About six weeks?" I questioned anxiously, my voice trembling as I spoke.
"I would say that too," he nodded and suddenly I felt as though it maybe wasn't bad news he was about to apprise me of. "What were you hoping for, a little girl or a boy?" He asked with a smile as he watched the screen. I frowned, I was only six weeks along, there was no way in hell he could tell the gender right now. Why was he asking this?
"I don't mind," I responded with a frown.
"Well, there's a good chance you might get a little girl and a little boy," he said which made Niall and I look at one another with a perplexed expression.
"What?" We both simultaneously questioned, having no idea what he meant.
"You're having twins!" He beamed and my jaw dropped. Twins?!
"Two babies?!" Niall exclaimed.
"No, a baby and a bloody giraffe Niall," I rolled my eyes which made the nurse giggle.
"Look, you can see them here, well, it's a little hard to make them out right now, but there's definitely two babies in here," the doctor pointed out the two babies to us on the screen. Even with him pointing them out, I couldn't really make them out but I nodded and smiled anyway.
"Oh my God," Niall squealed as he looked to the screen. "We're having twins!" He exclaimed and pulled me into his arms, squeezing me tightly as he hugged me. I smiled brightly too and felt my eyes fill with tears for the second time tonight in this room, this time because of happiness.
"Fuck, well it looks like I'm going to have to get another 'made in Ireland' vest, because two of them were made there," Niall said which made me giggle.
...
I took a look in the mirror at my belly. I still couldn't believe we were having twins. It'd only be a few days since we found out we were having twins and to be honest, neither Niall or I could believe it. I wasn't showing at all yet really, my belly was a little more swollen than usual but it was nothing anybody but myself would notice.
We hadn't told anybody yet, well Niall told his mother, which I told him not to tell anybody but I heard him on the phone the evening we came back from the scan. I wasn't mad though, I couldn't blame him, I knew he was excited.
'"Mammy, you're never going to believe this!" I heard Niall's voice as I walked to the living room with two mugs of hot chocolate for us. "No, well I'm not meant to be telling you this, but I can't not tell you, just don't tell anybody else, okay?" He questioned. Silence as he waited on a response. I stood against the wall, smiling softly to myself. I knew what he was going to tell her but I wanted to hear it.
"Mammy, you're actually gonna wet yourself, you better be ready for this," he giggled into the phone. I smiled wider when I heard his giggles, clutching the mugs tighter. "Okay, well you're gonna be a granny again!" He excitedly told her. "But mammy, that's not the best part!" He exclaimed. "You're gonna be a granny to two little 'un's, not just one! We're having twins," he told her.
"Oh I'm so excited, I've never been so happy in my life! Well, except when we had Bella but now it's like double the excitement, I'm just so happy with her now," he said which made my heart feel warm. I took a sip of my hot chocolate and smiled to myself. "I'm so lucky already to have her and Bell, but I cannot wait to meet the two little squids, imagine how fun this is going to be," he giggled. I had to agree, twins did sound like fun.'
I soon felt arms wrapping around me from behind, moist lips pressing to the side of my neck. I smiled and leaned my head back onto Niall's shoulder, a smile etched on his features as he rubbed my stomach gently. "How are the little squids doing?" He asked, his lips pressed to the sensitive skin on my neck.
"They're doing good," I smiled up at him as he gently pressed his lips to mine for a few short seconds.
"Look what came today," he left the room, coming back a few moments later with a brown box, inside was the other twins vest with 'made in Ireland' written on it. "So now they're going to be matching," he giggled. I smiled softly and took it front his hands, trying to imagine what our little twins were going to look like once they were in our arms and in these little vests.
"I think they're gonna be blonde like Bell and have your eyes again- hopefully," I grinned up at a beaming Niall.
"No, I want them to have your eyes," Niall pouted. "Imagine twins with green eyes," he smiled, biting on his lower lip. "And with your dainty little nose," he bopped it and giggled.
"No, Bella is the cutest kid ever, so your features did her well," I said and Niall rolled his eyes.
"We had this argument before Bella was born too," Niall chuckled. "I wanted Bella to look like me and you wanted her to look like me," he chuckled.
"Well, I want them to take after you," I said.
"I don't mind who they take after as long as they're okay," he smiled softly and I sighed. I was so looking forward to meeting these little twins. Getting to take care of them and watch them grow up together. But it was also only early days to be thinking of these things. I was scared Niall getting these clothes for them would jinx it.
I couldn't shake that thought from my mind. I was scared of losing one baby, one baby was risk enough on it's own, not to mention two. Having twins will be double the smiles, double the cries, double the fun but also, double the risk.
