Chapter 296
“I’m Dr. Sammy,” she said. “I understand you’re pregnant and experiencing some pain?”
“It was just a twinge,” Athena answered. “Really, I think my fiancé is overreacting. My head and heart swelled when I heard her words,
She referred to me as her fiance, I think that was a very big mistake. Because right now all I want is to hear her call me her husband.
“Better to overreact than to ignore something important,” the doctor voice brought me out from my thoughts. “How far along are you?”
“About three weeks,” Athena said.
“And where exactly did you feel the pain?” the doctor asked.
Athena pointed to her lower abdomen. “Right here, it only lasted a few seconds.”
“Any bleeding?” Dr. Sammy asked again.
“No,” Athena said.
“Cramping?”
“No.”
“Any other symptoms? Dizziness, nausea, anything unusual?”
“No, nothing,” Athena responded carefully.
The Dr nodded and made some notes on her tablet. “Alright, I’d like to do an ultrasound just to make sure everything looks good, given that you’re still very early in the pregnancy and you mentioned
you were in a physical altercation recently.”
“How did you know about that?” Athena asked.
“Your chart notes from your regular doctor,” Yeap, we already forwarded everything to them. Can’t take any chances. “It’s important we keep track of any trauma during pregnancy.”

Chapter 296
A nurse came in and helped Athena lie back on the examination table, pulling up her shirt to expose
her stomach.
I stood beside her, holding her hand and trying not to let her see how terrified I was.
Because I was fucking terrified and I know she was too.
The nurse squirted gel on Athena’s stomach and Dr. Sammy picked up the ultrasound wand, pressing
it against Athena’s skin and moving it around while watching a screen that I couldn’t see from my
angle.
The room was quiet except for the sound of the ultrasound machine and I felt like I couldn’t breathe,
just waiting for the doctor to say something, anything.
After what felt like an eternity, Dr. Sammy smiled. There we go,” she said. “Strong heartbeat.”
I felt my knees almost give out with relief.
“The baby’s okay?” Athena asked, her voice trembling.
“The baby looks perfect,” she replied, then paused, moving the wand around some more. “Actually,
babies.”
My brain stuttered to a halt. “What?”
“Babies,” Dr. Sammy repeated, turning the screen so we could see. “Plural, you’re having twins.”
What? How’s it possible?
Twins. I couldn’t believe my ears.
We are expecting twin. Athena and I are going to be parents of not one, but two children.
Wow.
A large grin appeared on my face, I was so happy. I squeezed Athena hands with a smile.
I stared at the screen where I could now see two tiny blobs, each with a little flickering light that the
doctor said was their heartbeats.

I looked at Athena and saw tears treating down they face, I couldn’t tell if they were happy tears or
overwhelmed tears or both.
“Are you okay?” I asked her.
“I don’t know,” she said with a watery laugh. “Twins, dristen, we’re having two babies.”
“I know,” I said, sitting down heavily in the chair beside the examination table because my legs wouldn’t hold me anymore. “Holy shit, we’re having twins.”
Dr. Sammy printed out some images from the ultrasound and handed them to us. “I want you to take it easy for the next few weeks, she said to Athena,
“No strenuous activity, plenty of rest, and I want to see you back here in two weeks for a follow up, twin pregnancies require more monitoring than single pregnancies so we’ll be keeping a close eye on
you.”
“Okay,” Athena said, still staring at the ultrasound images.
“The pain you felt today is normal, Dr. Sammy continued. “But if you experience any bleeding, severe cramping, or anything else that concerns you come back immediately, don’t wait.”
