At first, there was just static. Gray and white shapes that didn’t make sense.

And then?—

A heartbeat.

Fast. Strong. Steady.

I stared at the screen, my chest tightening.

“There’s the baby,” Dr. Beaumont said softly, pointing to a small shape on the screen.

And then she moved the wand slightly.

Another heartbeat.

My breath caught.

“Wait,” I said, my voice barely audible. “What?—”

Dr. Beaumont’s expression shifted. She moved the wand again, more deliberately this time, and the screen showed two distinct shapes.

Two heartbeats.

“Ms. Renois,” Dr. Beaumont said carefully, “you’re carrying twins.”

The world tilted.

“What?” My voice cracked.

“Twins. Two babies. Both appear healthy and developing normally.”

I couldn’t breathe.

Twins.

Not one baby.

Two.

I turned to look at Amai, and his expression was unreadable—shock, maybe, or something deeper. Something I couldn’t name.

“How—” I started, but the words wouldn’t come.

“It’s not uncommon with IVF,” Dr. Beaumont explained. “Sometimes multiple embryos implant successfully.”

Multiple embryos.

Multiple specimens.

Oh God.

“I need the DNA test,” I said, my voice shaking. “Now. I need to know?—”

The exam room door opened.

I turned, expecting a nurse.

But it wasn’t a nurse.
