"no," lisa said, putting her arm around jennie and pulling her closer, "it's okay. i know you've been feeling really shitty lately. i would take all that on for you in a minute if i could."
"i know," jennie sighed, reaching over to press a small kiss to lisa's lips, "that's just one of the many reasons why i love you."
"i love you more," lisa said, grinning like the idiot she is, every time jennie told her she loves her, "but really, what's on your mind?"
"i don't know, i guess i'm just a little nervous. i mean what if there's something wrong with the baby? i don't think this level of morning sickness is normal. and you and i don't really have the greatest track record of things going our way so-"
"hey," lisa cut her off, "listen to me, everything is going to be fine. and i'm not just saying that. your morning sickness is normal, love. the doctor said it might get really bad, especially because of your cravings. the baby," lisa paused and reached for her wife's hand once again, holding it in both of hers, "our baby is fine."
jennie just nodded in agreement, lisa always did have a knack at being able to calm her down. but she was still worried, she knew something was going on.
10 minutes later, jennie was laid out on the chair in the examination room, the cold gel on her stomach, lisa's hand in hers, and their doctor firing up the ultrasound machine.
"so," dr. scott started, "how are you two doing? preparing yourself for being mommies?"
"we're doing the best we can," lisa smiled.
"and i believe you two will be amazing parents," dr. scott reassured, "so jennie, this is just going to be a routine ultrasound, just going to look around and make sure the baby is doing okay and they're nice and comfortable, okay? nothing to worry about. how have you been feeling recently?"
"horrible," jennie laughed.
"morning sickness been acting up?"
"yeah, it's at its worst around 9am, and then i just feel nauseous throughout the day."
"that's all normal, it's going to be at it's worst now just before you go into your second trimester, than it'll be a breeze after that," dr. scott answered.
"you promise?" jennie asked, making the whole room laugh.
"okay," dr. scott started, "let's see what's going on in here."
jennie kept her eyes on lisa, she was always too nervous to look at the screen, not that she'd actually be able to make anything out on it anyway.
dr. scott was quiet for a while, which of course startled the mothers-to-be.
"is everything okay?" jennie asked.
"yeah, everything is fine. i'm just seeing a little spot here, which might be nothing so don't worry. i'm just gonna move over a little bit and see if i can get a better look."
jennie's eyes shot to lisa's immediately, worry written all over her face. the blonde just held jennie's hand tighter, knowing that that was all she could really do right now.
"i thought so," dr. scott said to herself, turning to jennie and lisa with a smile, "wipe those worried looks off your faces."
lisa immediately perked up, but jennie remained worried.
dr. scott moved the ultrasound machine closer to the bed and tilted the screen so jennie and lisa could see better.
"okay," she started, moving the scanner around jennie's stomach once again, "here is your baby." dr. scott pointed to a little blip on the screen.
"love, look," lisa pointed.
"and everything's okay?" jennie asked.
"yes, everything is fine," dr. scott answered, still with a smile on her face that said she knew more. she moved the scanner further upwards towards jennie's ribs and pointed to the screen again.
"and here," she started, "is baby number 2." lisa and jennie immediately turned to each other then turned to the doctor.
"baby number 2?" they asked in unison.
"jennie, lisa," dr. scott said, "you're having twins. congratulations, mommies."
"oh my god," lisa said, shocked. that was the last thing she was expecting to hear today.
"lis," jennie said, reaching for her wife, "we're having twins. oh my god, we're having twins."
"i know!" lisa beamed, leaning in to kiss jennie soundly, "i love you, i love you, i love you," she kept repeating with every kiss she pressed to the brunette's lips.
"i love you more," jennie said, moving to wipe the tears from both of their eyes.
10 minutes later, they were walking out of the office, hand in hand, their ultrasound pictures tucked safely in jennie's purse. when they got to the car, they sat their silent for a minute, taking in everything. then in unison, they turned to each other, smiles broke out on their faces and they started yelling for joy.
"we're having twins!" lisa kept repeating.
"i know," jennie said, pulling lisa towards her, kissing her deeply.
"i can't believe i'm finally getting to make a family with you," lisa said, when she pulled away, tears prickling her eyes again.
"you are a dream come true," jennie said, moving to wipe away a tear on lisa's cheek. they drove home hand in hand, stealing kisses every so often at stop lights, unable to contain their excitement.
"we have to call our parents when we get home and tell them," jennie smiled, "they're going to be so excited."
"yes we are," lisa squeezed her hand, "i can't wait to tell everyone."
"two little us running around," jennie sighed, "i can't wait."
"me either," lisa said, unable to wipe the grin off her face. she was having twins, and with the love of her life. jennie was everything she's ever wanted, she's everything that she's dreamt of ever since they were fifteen, when they were only dreaming of what they aim to be in the future. everything still seems surreal.
"i guess we're going to have to start buying two of everything now," the brunette chuckled.
"we better go redo our registry," lisa said, shoving the hair from jennie's face when they were at the next stop light.
a few hours later, wrapped in each other's arms, the world was a blur around them. they still couldn't believe it. lisa quickly turned over and pulled jennie closer to her, drawing little patterns on her shoulder.
"i guess this explains why you're extra huge," lisa spoke up, quickly darting out of the way of jennie's pillow.
with laughter all around them, in this world that they were creating, with all the love in the world, everything was perfect.
