“Cheyenne Allen.” A cute blond bitch called. Her eyes widened when they landed on Sam, and I decided I was going to hate her. She didn’t look like she weighed over a buck twenty, and I was going to have to hop my fat ass up onto a scale and have my weight checked in front of her. Yay.
Sam stood off to the side while the nurse indiscreetly called off my weight so everyone and their brother could hear how little I worked out. She took my blood pressure, drew some blood and then led us to a small room.
“You don’t have to take your clothes off today, just have a seat and someone will be in shortly to try to get the baby’s heartbeat. The doctor should be in not long after that.” She said before giving Sam one more longing glance, and then left the room.
“She’s cruisin’ for a bruisin’.” I said to Sam while jumping up onto the exam table.
Sam laughed but wisely said nothing. He walked up to me and gathered me into his arms.
“I know you are scared, but it will be alright, baby. I’m not going anywhere.” He said into my hair.
Something loosened in my chest that I wasn’t aware had wound tight. I turned my head into his chest and kissed where his heart beat against me.
The door opened up behind me and a pixie like voice said “Hi! I’m Amy. I’m going to see if I can find the heartbeat.”
Amy was cute, and married according to the ring on her finger.
“If you will lay down and raise your shirt, please.” She said to me.
I complied and settled with my arms behind my head. Sam watched in fascination from his position across the room where he was leaning against the wall. Amy took her little wand and smeared the cold gel on my lower abdomen. She moved it around until a faint “whir, whir” was able to be heard through the little speaker on the handheld device.
“The heartbeat is 142. Good and strong.” She said as she pulled the wand off my stomach and went to clean off my stomach. I opened my mouth to tell her about the twins when Sam beat me to it.
“Wait.” He said.
She looked towards him questioningly.
“At the ER they said there were two. You still need to find the other heartbeat.” He explained.
Amy squealed and pressed the wand back to my stomach with a delighted expression on her face.
“We don’t have many twins! It didn’t say it in your chart, so I didn’t know. Let’s see where the other one is hiding.” She said.
She went on for a couple more minutes sliding the wand this way and that before finally finding the slick little devil low towards my right hip bone. This baby’s heartbeat was lower at 132, but still strong according to Amy. Amy left shortly after and informed us that the doctor would likely be another fifteen minutes or so since it was his busy day.
Sam was wearing a cat ate the canary smile and was practically bouncing in place by the time the door close. Seeing him this happy made me super happy.
“Take a chill pill, Mr.” I said to him.
“Make me.” He said while giving me a kiss.
It was another ten minutes before the doctor came, gave me a thorough exam, and then sent us off to the ultrasound tech.
The tech took us in and had me lie down on another exam table.
“Shirt up, and lie back please.” She said.
There was a flat screen on the wall directly in front of us, so once I was situated I looked towards the screen. The tech squirted the gel on my tummy and started rubbing it around on my stomach with the wand.
I turned and watched Sam’s face as soon as the picture was projected onto the screen. He seemed in awe. They looked like tiny little aliens, but they were my little aliens. I took a picture of him with my phone so I could forever keep the memory.
The tech sent us on our way six pictures and a short video later. Neither one of us spoke while Sam settled the bill, and we made our way to the elevator. The elevator was empty, and I pressed the G on the buttons. I’d just stepped back when I found myself pinned against the opposite wall, Sam’s mouth clamped to mine.
Once he pulled back I asked “So you’re happy?”
“Never in my life have I been happier than I am right now. The only thing that could make this moment better is if we were married.” He whispered against my mouth.
I gave him one final kiss before the doors opened, and I practically beamed for the rest of the day. Little did I know that I would be cursing him later.
Chapter 17
“Cocksucking bastard.” I muttered to myself as I threw my jeans into the ever growing pile of clothes that didn’t fit anymore. Those didn’t even make it past my fucking hips. What the fuck.
I pulled out a pair of charcoal gray yoga pants that had a fold over waist with little stars in bright neon green dotted the band. Guess these were going to have to work.
I checked my phone to see a text from Sam.
Sam: “Don’t forget to take your vitamin.”
Rolling my eyes I made my way into the kitchen and shook out a purple pill. I washed it down with a swig of milk from the carton.
Sam was being extremely over protective since he found out I was pregnant. I still wasn’t sure how I was going to handle this. My thoughts went back to the night I found out I was pregnant.

Ember was lounging at the end of my bed, tapping her feet against the bed while we waited for my discharge papers. The nurse said they were waiting on my labs to return. As soon as they were reviewed by the doctor, then I would be all set to leave.
Sam and Gabe were outside waiting on us since the nurses didn’t like having so many people around. James and Jack went back to the compound with the girls. They were very tired, and it had been a long day. Ember and Sam had fought over who was going to stay with me; Ember won because she pointed out to obvious to Sam.
