Today, me and Nathan are going to find out the gender of the twins. We still haven't found a new house. We have been shopping for some bits. Bottles, dummies, wipes, nappies and stuff like that.
"What are you hoping for?" I ask Nathan as we sit in the waiting room.
"I hope one of them is a boy, but as long as they are healthy." Says Nathan.
"Harper Montgomery." Says a nurse.
Me and Nathan follow the nurse to a room. I do the usual (get on the bed and pull my top up).
"Will you want to know the gender's today?" Asks the nurse.
"Yes please." Nathan and I both say in sync.
"Ok. Both babies look very healthy." Says the nurse.
"Ok. Can we see?" Asks Nathan.
The nurse turn a the screen so we can see. I wipe a few tears. She turns the screen back to her and then tells us the gender.
"You have a little girl and a little boy." Says the nurse.
"Thank you. Can we get some pictures please?" I ask.
"Yes. How many?" Asks the woman.
"4 please." I ask.
I sit up and wipe the gel off my stomach. I get the pictures from the nurse and then we leave.
"Can we go to mother care. I saw these baby grows that I wanted to buy, but I wanted to wait until we found out of the gender." I say.
"Yeah. Sure." Says Nathan.
We drive into town and then go into the shopping centre car park. We pay for a ticket and then go to mother care. I end up buying the baby grows that i wanted.
"Nathan." I say.
"Yeah." Says Nathan.
"Can we McDonalds?" I ask.
"Sure. What do you want, I'll go que now." Says Nathan.
"Apple pie, large coke, quarter pounder, large fries and afterwards I might want a mcflurry." I say.
Nathan walks off and then it's my turn to pay. I hand the woman and 20 pound not and get 7 pound change. I take the bag containing my items and walk to McDonalds. I find an empty table and after 5 minutes, Nathan comes over with the food.
"Wanna think of some names?" I ask.
"Yeah. I was thinking Sophie and Andy." Says Nathan.
"I don't like Andy. I like Sophie though. What about Sophie and Freddy?" I ask.
"I think Freddy is too old fashioned. What about Sophie and Billy?" Asks Nathan.
"No. Charlie. That's it! Sophie and Charlie!" I say.
"I like it." Says Nathan.
"So. What about middle names?" I ask.
"Well. Lily is Lily Rose. Charlie...?" Says Nathan.
"How about Charlie James, or Charlie David?" I ask.
"Hmmm. I Like Charlie James. Charlie James Montgomery." Says Nathan.
"For Sophie, what about, Sophie Leigh?" I ask.
"Perfect. I have a perfect wife and three perfect children. Lily Rose, Sophie Leigh and Charlie James." Says Nathan.
We share a quick kiss and then finished out food. We go back to the car and drive home.
"Can you take me to work please. I haven't seen Connor for a while." I say.
"What? Gay Connor?" Asks Nathan.
"Yes. He just went on his honeymoon for 5 weeks to the Italy." I say.
"Ok." Says Nathan.
Nathan drops me off and I walk into the shop. Connor is looking at some dresses whilst holding a clipboard. I silently walk up begin him and cove his eyes with my hands. He drops the pen and clipboard.
"Guess who?" I say with a smile on my face.
"HARPER!" Says Connor.
He turns around and hugs me. I hug him back then we sit down.
"The babies have gotten a lot bigger since I last saw you!" Says Connor.
"Well. Little Sophie Leigh and Charlie James have missed you." I say.
"Who's- oh you chose names for them!" Says Connor.
"Yeah." I say.
"So how's Nathan?" Asks Connor.
"He's good. He's at home at the moment." I say.
"Have you heard anything from Rosie?" Asks Connor.
"Yeah. She last texted me about two weeks ago saying she was fine and that she had found a new job." I say.
"Oh ok. Look. You should be getting home. It's not your day to work." Says Connor.
"I want to be here. I want to spend time with you." I say.
"Harper. Go. Spend time with your husband and not your work colleague." Says Connor.
"If you insists." I say.
I hug Coonor goodbye and then start to walk home. I pass the baby shop on the way home and that's when I first feel the babies moves.
"I love you so much. Both of you." I say.
I continue my walk and eventually get home. When I walk through the door, Nathan is watching t.v.
"Harper. You should have called me and I would have picked you up." I say.
"Nathan. Stop fussing. I may be 3 months pregnant with twins, but that doesn't mean I can't walk. Just, dial it down, yeah?" I say.
I put my bag on the island and then sit on the couch.
"Just let me look after you." Says Nathan.
"Nathan. I love you. Just, you can be a bit over protective. Now, don't get me wrong, I love how you make me feel safe, but sometimes it's too much." I say.
"Ok. We need to pick Lily up soon." Says Nathan.
"Ok. I'm gonna take a quick shower." I say.
I give Nathan a kiss in the lips and then go upstairs. I go to the bedroom instead of the bathroom. I sit on the bed and then lay back. I rub my swelling stomach. I sit up and then walk out my room and to the bathroom. I start running he shower and then go to the airing cupboard to get my towel. I go back to the bathroom and undress for my shower. I stares at my stomach in the full length mirror. I turn to the side and look at the slightly visible stretch marks. As soon as I'm done with this pregnancy, I'm doing everything I can to get rid of them.
