Anneliese's POV

My mother has driven me to my doctors appointment and it's 9:30 in the morning. Afterwards she's drive me to my boutique and April would take me home later. Doctor Chang just left me in the capable hands of Nurse Tricia. Who is a doctor in training and would help me during my pregnancy. But if needed Doctor Chang will be there to help out.

"I don't believe it" mum says looking out the door. I lift my head to see Julian and his mother. "Should I send them away?" she asks.

"No, they can stay just this once" I tell her sighing. Nurse Tricia lets them in and Julian stands at my other side while his mother stood near mine. "I told you not to come" I tell him.

"I know, but I... we just really wanted to be here" he states after his mother gave him a look.

"But you aren't going to be about of the baby's life when he or she is born. Why put yourself through all of this grief?" I ask him.

"Because I still pray we have a chance at a future together" he states looking into my eyes. I roll my eyes but smile a small smile anyway. The nurse returns and gives us all a smile.

"Are you ready to see your baby for the first time?" she asks.

"More then ready" I tell her.

"Well then, please lift your shirt so I can reach your stomach" she instructs. "Now this maybe a little cold" she states after putting gel on the wand. I nod my head and the places it on my stomach turning on the screen. "There's your baby" she says pointing at a black spot on the screen. "That's odd, I'll be back in a minute" she states putting the wand.

"Mum" I say confused.

"I don't know sweety" she says holding my hand in comfort.

"I'm sure everything is fine" Lillian assures us.

"I agree" Julian states.

"You two aren't even suppose to be here" mum tells him. Just the Nurse Tricia returns with Doctor Chang. He picks up the wand placing it one my stomach looking at the screen.

"Your suspicions were correct" he tells the nurse.

"What suspicions? Is my baby ok?" I ask him.

"They are both perfectly fine Miss Logan, you are just having twins" he tells me. "Would you like a photo?" he asks and I nod my head. He prints out four copies handing one to each of us. "I trust you can handle it from here" he says looking at Tricia.

"Yes sir" she says and he leaves the room. "Now these are the vitamins you need to take, just follow the instructions on the label. This is for when you start to feel nausea" she says hand me two pill bottles. "Your next appointment will be in two weeks unless something happens. Here are some pamphlets on pregnancy about what you can and can't eat. Also what you can and can't do" she explains. "Book your next appointment at the front desk and congrats on the twins" she says before leaving the room.

"Mum I wish to speak to Julian alone" I tell her.

"Of course sweetheart" she says kissing my forehead and leaves with Lillian.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asks.

"Well there are two babies and you need an heir or you'll be forced to marry a girl" I tell him.

"True, where are you going with this?" he asks confused.

"We split them up, you take one with you to Italy and we never see each other again" I state.

"No, I could never split two siblings up" he tells me. "Either you come with me to Italy or I'll forfeit the throne" he states.

"I won't let you do that" I tell him shaking my head.

"Then give me a chance" he begs. "Besides you have a two bedroom house and two babies on the way. How do you expect to raise them by yourself?" he asks.

"I won't be alone, my mother will be there and I can buy a bigger house" I tell him. "I am actually looking at having one built" I state.

"How long will that take?" he asks.

"Once everything if finalized, about six to nine months" I tell him. "Besides the babies won't need their own rooms until they're older. Even then they may choose to share a room, depends on what they are" I state.

"Please let me help you, give me a chance" he begs.

"One chance, no talk of me moving to Italy" I tell him.

"Of course" he agrees and hugs me. I clean up the gel and we leave the room to see our mothers arguing in whispered tones.

"Mum did you make my appointment?" I ask.

"Yes I did dear, lets get you to work" she states.

"She is pregnant and shouldn't be working" Lillian snaps.

"You have no say in the matter, besides I worked until the day I gave birth as did my mother" mum tells her annoyed. "Lets go Anneliese" she says grabbing my hand. I wave goodbye to Julian as we leave. "What did you  talk about?" she asks as we got into the car.

"I decided to give him a chance as long as he doesn't talk about Italy or try to convince me to live with him there" I tell her.

"I hope you made the right decision Anneliese" she says sighing. "I don't want you go through what I did" she states.

"Don't worry mum, I won't let that happen" I assure her. "Especially with two babies on the way" I add rubbing my stomach. She smiles gently and drops me off at the boutique before leaving for her own workplace.
