“I’m fine.” I breathed as I laid on the table and waited for the technician to come in.

It was a lie, and I was anything but fine. I was all over the place. The excitement coursed through me and my nerves took over. I wanted to scream out of joy because this moment was here, but I could also do the opposite. Crying out of uncertainty from the time it took to receive an answer.

“Because I could always calm you down, young lady.” Daxon claimed as his other hand ran up my thigh and tingled my skin. “You look way too good in that skirt today.”

I pushed his hand away. “This isn’t the time for games, daddy.”

“As you wish, princess.” Daxon breathed and tucked his hands into his pockets.

The temperature in the room turned up a notch with his request and it left me lost in it. It always did. It would be a pleasurable distraction until the technician came in, but it was too risky. We had already been down that road and couldn’t afford someone stumbling on the truth. Our intimate encounter would make front page news and plastered all over social media. Daxon wasn’t thinking clearly and someone had to.

And it was a good thing I did.

Because she just arrived.

“I’ll be your technician for the visit.” She announced as she took her seat and got jelly on the probe. “The father couldn’t make it today?”

“No, he’s sick with a cold.” I said as I raised my blouse and tucked it under my bra. “So, the grandfather came for support.”

“Oh, well, how wonderful you could make it. It’s a pity the father couldn’t because this is a big moment.” She said with a smile and put the probe on my belly. “Just a cold touch here.”

The usual chill from the jelly hit my skin, but didn’t startle me like it normally does. My mind was elsewhere and lost in the unknown. I just sought two little answers.

What’s the sex of these babies?

“We want to find out the gender of the babies.” Daxon announced, but realized he shouldn’t and tried to fix the situation. “Well, I know I do. How do you feel about it, Celeste?”

“Yes, it’s solely your decision.” The technician added. “Do you want to find out the sex of your twins?”

I took Daxon’s hand and squeezed it. “I agree with Daxon, and we want to find out the genders.”

He looked nervously down at me and realized he could’ve just blown our story to hell. I knew he needed my touch to calm him down and get us back on track. Get us to where we finally had the answers we came here for. He needed me as much as I needed him. We’d get through this together.

“Perfect because I have the gender of baby A.” She announced with certainty. “Are you ready?”

“Yes...” I breathed.

“As ready as we’ll ever be.” Daxon sighed.

“Baby A’s legs are wide open and pretty obvious it’s a little boy.” She revealed it with a smile on her face. “And as for baby B...”

She pressed the probe further to my left side and moved it around. The baby kicked and played with the movement on my stomach. It made me giggle with happiness from the news and overjoyed me as I watched the screen. Baby B was putting on quite the show.

“Yes, what’s baby B going to be?” Daxon asked with anxious excitement and leaned in closer to me.

“Well, baby B is quite the little mover and your daughter is going to keep you busy.” She said as she looked at me and took the probe off my belly. “Congratulations on having a baby boy and girl.”

“I’m having a boy and a girl?” I asked in disbelief.

She smiled down at me and wiped the jelly off my belly. “Yes, you are, Celeste.”

My heart hammered with happiness, and I couldn’t believe the words she spoke. It was a boy. I could dress him in blue and he could play hockey. I was having a little girl. She could wear pink and become a ballerina. Hell, they could be whatever their little hearts desired.

“Oh, my gosh Daxon...” I cried with joy and held his hands in mine. “It’s a boy and a girl. I can’t believe it.”

“Neither can I, princess.” Daxon breathed in disbelief and squeezed my hands.

“I’ll give you a moment and will be back with the twins’ pictures.” The technician said as she left the room and we were alone once again.
