“Don’t you have some shit to do, calls to make?” she said sweetly.
Sam had rolled his eyes, given me a peck on the lips, and said he would be outside waiting for me. That had been thirty minutes ago.
Just then a cute little nurse with hot pink scrubs came up to us, along with the older doctor. The nurse was wheeling what looked like an ultrasound machine over and set it up right beside the bed.
“Did you know you were pregnant?” the doctor asked.
I stared at him blankly.
“Pregnant?” Ember asked the doctor for confirmation.
“Yes, ma’am.” The doctor said. “You have quite a bit of HCG floating around in your blood too. I would say you were at least four months, if not more.”
“Three months is possible.” I said to the doctor. “Not four.”
My first time with Sam was exactly three months from today. Four was physically impossible.
“Well let’s go ahead and have a look.” He said to me. “Are you comfortable having this young lady in here while we do this?”
“Yes.” I said to him.
Ember had been incredibly quiet. She got up and went to the side of my bed where the machine was directly in front of her so she could get a better look.
The nurse lifted up the gown past my stomach and squirted clear jelly stuff all over my stomach. The doctor took the wand off its holder and spread the jelly out along my lower abdomen. Goose bumps broke out over my stomach at the feel of the cold gel. The black screen showed shades of gray, and looked grainy.
“Ahh.” The doctor said.
I looked at the screen and squinted. My heart started speeding up a little bit. Yes, that was definitely a baby. Fucking Sam. I told him this would happen. You could make out a big large head and tiny little hands and feet branching off of the body. There was a little tiny heartbeat, and something inside my chest restricted, and tears started to prick my eyes. I didn’t mean for there to be a baby, but I could say that I was definitely happy. I was carrying a piece of Sam with me. The man I loved with all of my heart.
The doctor was moving around the wand again, and suddenly I could see two of them. I stopped breathing. No way. Holy Guacamole!
“Well congratulations, its twins!” the doctor said to me. “They look to be about three months gestation just like you said. The extra baby would certainly account for the higher level of HCG in your system.”
The doctor rambled off some more shit, but I didn’t listen. Ember had grabbed my hand and was squeezing, but that didn’t affect me much either. I was released shortly after with a prescription for pain killers, a note to make an appointment with a doctor for my arm, and an OB/GYN for the baby as soon as I could arrange it.
Ember watched me dress in silence, and we were escorted out the doors by a nurse.
Sam and Gabe were standing off to the side of the entrance leaning against the brick of the building. He smiled at me, but then the smile died just as quick when he took in the look on my face. Ember was standing behind me and to my left, so I could make out that she was shaking her head in my peripheral vision. I ignored her and walked up to Sam slowly. He glanced between Ember and I with a raised brow.
“What is it?” he asked.
“What is it?” I said calmly. “You really want to know?”
“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked!” Sam said with a tone that was perilously close to being smartassy.
I smiled at him, poked him in the chest, and then let him have it.
“You knocked me up!” I yelled.
Two older people who were sitting on the bench beside the doors were watching us closely. The lady smiled and whispered something to her husband, but they both continued to watch the show.
“Not only did you knock me up, but you knocked me up with twins! What the fuck? Did you have to have super sperm? Couldn’t you just have normal sperm? No not Sam. He has to have super swimmers. I am going to be as big as a house!” I kept yelling.
Sam shut me up with a kiss. Not a nice kiss either. His tongue pillaged my mouth. He was kissing me like he didn’t expect to live past this moment. It didn’t take long and I was kissing him back. I anchored my good hand in his hair and hung on for dear life.
I heard a throat clear, and I broke my mouth from Sam’s and glanced to my right where Ember and Gabe were watching us with smiles on their faces.
“What?” I growled.
“You probably won’t be as big as a house, maybe just a barge.” Ember told me nicely.
“Fuck off.” I said to her and started stomping across the parking lot.
Sam grabbed my hand and then turned me in the opposite direction, leading me to his bike that was parked in the middle lot.
Sam stopped beside his bike and pulled my body into his and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
“I love you.” He said quietly. Then hopped on his bike and started it up without waiting for me to answer him.

That was four months ago, and today started my doctor’s appointments where I would go every two weeks.
Smiling, I pulled my phone from inside my shirt where I stored it on the left side of my bra and typed out a message to Sam.
Cheyenne: “Done. I’ll see you in a minute.”
Sam: “Bring me a new shirt.”
Heading into the bedroom, I picked a clean black shirt from the drawers, most likely the same color as the one he was wearing. He only worked in black t-shirts because he didn’t have to worry about getting them stained that way.
I grabbed my keys, his shirt, my back pack, and walked out to the new truck.
