“Well, folks, I got everything I need. Can I answer any questions?” Doctor Glaser asks, handing me a paper towel to clean myself.
“So, they’re normal?” I ask, still feeling terrified.
“Perfectly normal for their age. Don’t worry, mommy!” the doctor says.
“I understand there are occurrences in your family?” the doctor asks me.
I nod, “Yes, my grandmother on my mom’s side.”
Harvey chimes in excitedly, “Yeah, mine too if you can believe it! My sister and I are twins too,” Harvey says, all excited. “Wow, by now mom probably has already told the whole family!”
“I think that’s it, doctor…” I slowly sit back up and start to get down. “We’ll be on our way.”
“Alright, please pass through the reception downstairs to schedule your next appointment!” Doctor Glaser bids us goodbye.
“We will!” I say.
“Can’t wait to meet again, doc!” Harvey says excitedly.
I hold the door open for Harvey, then close it behind him. He’s so excited but I’m feeling overwhelmed.
As if one baby wasn’t enough, now we are having two?
“Harvey…” I say, holding onto his shoulder as we head to the elevator. “What are we going to do with two babies?”
Irritating to me, he just shrugs lightheartedly. “Same as we’d do with just one, but double!” and he laughs.
“Ugh, I need advice…” I feel my head, getting suddenly dizzy. “Can we drop by my parents?”
“You’re driving, babe. You are in control!” he says, cheering me up.
I press the button going down and the elevator doors immediately open. We go in and from there, we schedule another appointment with Doctor Glaser for a month from now.
In the car, Harvey grabs his phone again. “I’m going to call Parker!”
“No!” I shout. “I mean… Wait until I tell mom.”
“Why?” he looks at me, confused, as I start the engine.
“Because if you tell Parker now, mom will already know by the time we get there! And I want to give her the news!”
“Oh, but then your mom will tell him before I get to tell him!” Harvey complains.
I slap the back of his head again.
“Harvey, my mom is not a gossiper!” I say, defending my family’s honor.
“Like this is the type of news one can keep!” He brings my hand to his lips to kiss it.
