"No, way you're not going."Marcello all but yelled.

Emilia pressed her index finger against her temple."Marcello you act like every man's eyes will be on me."

He scoffed."That's because they will be."

Emilia took his hand in hers to calm him down."I'll be fine."

"Remember the night we met?"Marcello asked, smiling.

She placed her hand on her bump."How could I forget it, our baby was a product of that night."

Marcello couldn't help but feel overjoyed that she was attached to his child, to their child.

His ocean blue eyes darkened. "That night almost every mans eyes were on you."

She chuckled, lightly." Marcello, you are over exaggerating."She turned to walk to her closet but he stopped her.

"I'm serious Emilia you don't notice the amount of beauty you carry so trust me when I tell you those pigs will be all over you."He spoke oh so gently trying to get her to see reason but also because he didn't want her to be afraid of him.

For some reason, she was the only person he cared about. The only person who's feelings he took into account.

She sighed."I'm just going for an hour or two knowing Natalia she will probably be drunk by then and I can go home," She said trying to negotiate with him even though she didn't know why he was making a big deal out of it if they weren't together.

Marcello's jaw clenched as he spoke."Emilia, you are not going."

Emilia rolled her eyes."I don't have time to sit here and argue with you Marcello I have a doctor's appointment in an hour."

Marcello's anger quickly vanished and all he could feel was concern."What's wrong? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"He asked placing his hand on her bump.

She smiled."Yes, we're fine."She told him as she placed her hand over his."It's just an ultrasound."

He frowned."Oh."

He felt kind of hurt that she didn't tell him.

She turned to her closet but then looked back at him and saw there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes but then he masked it."Do you want to go?"She found her self asking almost hopeful that someone would be there to support her during this pregnancy.

"No," he said all too quickly."I don't want to go. I told you I don't want it."He pointed to her bump like his was a disease.

Emilia gave him a look of disgust." First off, stop referring to my baby as it," She snapped." and second okay, fine if you want nothing to do with me and my baby then get out. I don't want to see you."

Without another word, Marcello walked out slamming the door right behind him.

She rubbed her bump gently."I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry," She chanted even though she could feel her eyes watering.

She was sick and tired of crying.

She had to be strong for her baby.

Emilia was sitting in the doctor's office going through magazine after magazine to calm her nerves. She was scared something was wrong with her baby and if she stayed somewhat productive she wouldn't feel as if her heart was about to burst from her ribcage.

"Emilia Rene." Emilia stood up and headed towards the tall women with long blonde hair.

The doctor smiled and extended her perfectly manicured hand to Emilia."Hi, my name is Dr.Megan Carter I will be the one who is examining you today since my father is on vacation." Emilia shook her hand and smiled back she couldn't help it her smile was contagious.

Emilia couldn't help but ask." So you don't work here?"

Dr.Carter chuckled as she gestured Emilia into the exam room."No thank goodness. I hate it here. I actually live in London and work at the London Bridge Hospital. I just came here to take on his patients because his colleagues couldn't."

Emilia couldn't help but smile at the coincidence." I'm actually from London as well and will be going back tomorrow morning."

Dr. Carter smiled." Oh, then you should come to see me for your appointments. It would be nice to see you again." She said as she sat the chair near the ultrasound machine." Could you lay on the exam table and pull your shirt up for me, please."

Emilia did as she was told and then Dr.Carter squirted the green gel on her bump and began moving the wand around."Okay in your file it says this is your first ultrasound, correct?"

Emilia sighed."Yes sadly, every time I say was going to go something came up."

Dr. Carter smiled as looked at the screen." Well, that's okay at least you are here now. By the looks of things, you are 16 weeks pregnant which you might be able to find out the gender of your baby. Do you want to hear the heartbeat?"

Emilia nodded."Yeah, that would be amazing."

She clicked a button and the whole room filled with sound of her babies her beat."Well, Emilia, it looks like your having twins. " To say Emilia was shocked would be an understatement.

She was having two babies not one.

She was going to be a mother of two.

"Do you want to know your babies' genders?" Dr. Carter asked pulling Emilia out of her trance.

Emilia could only nod because of her shocked state."Okay, baby, A is a....boy and baby two is also a boy congratulations you're having identical twin boys." Emilia couldn't help the tear that fell down her cheek.

She was going to love and cherish them and never let them feel that they were less than anyone else because all the people in her life rejected them.

Dr. Carter handed her a paper towel as she spoke."Do you have any questions or concerns?"

"No. Thank you Dr.Carter."She wiped her bump and got off the exam table.

"Oh, please call me Megan." She told her and then handed her the ultrasound photos. "Alright, then it was nice meeting you Emilia. I hope to see you again soon."

Emilia smiled."Me too."
