Chapter Eleven

The lights were dim in the exam room. The only sound was the tapping of the technician’s fingers on the keys of the computer. Lacey’d had an ultrasound when the doctor first suspected she was carrying twins, of course, but this one was different.

This time Devin sat at her shoulder, wide eyes glued to the monitor, mouth slightly open. He was so into it and she loved seeing his excitement.

The tech moved the wand across her stomach. “So we’re almost finished with measurements for Baby A. Oh, here’s the little face.”

It was a blur of light and shadow, but Lacey could make out eyes and a nose and a mouth. As they watched, the baby rubbed its hand across its cheek. Devin didn’t speak, but he slid his hand down her arm and linked his fingers with hers.

“And you want to know the gender?”

“Yes.” Lacey glanced up at Devin. He had a twinkle in his eye. She knew he was thinking about the little game they had going.

Once again, the tech moved the wand around, zooming in and out until she stopped and pointed to the screen. “Well, guys, congratulations, Baby A is a boy.”

“Yes!” Devin grinned and did a little I-was-right boogie. “I knew it. You’re cooking breakfast every day for a week.”

Lacey shook her head. He was so predictable. And so ridiculously cute. How was she supposed to use her brain and make wise decisions when he looked at her like that?

“And let’s go to Baby B...” The ultrasound technician guided the wand into position. “Baby B is definitely not a boy.”

“It’s a girl?” Lacey’s hand crept up to cover her mouth. She looked up at Devin. “One of each okay with you, cowboy?”

“It’s one of each.” His voice was delighted, his eyes tender as he looked down at her. “I don’t know why we never considered that combination.”

“Ah, there’s Baby B’s face. She looks like she’s sucking her thumb.” The tech pointed to the screen. “And I could be wrong but it looks like she has a dimple.”

Devin laughed. “Perfect.”

Lacey watched as the technician took the measurements for Baby B, shadows and light stretching and fading on the screen, but she didn’t really know what she was seeing. Boy or girl... It was fun to joke and guess, but she really just wanted to know they looked healthy. “They’re okay?”

The tech shot her a distracted smile as she continued the scan until finally, with a few more spins of the roller ball on the ultrasound machine and clicking of measurements, they were finished.

The tech handed her a cloth to wipe her stomach. “Dr. Lescale’s going to look over the video and she’ll be in to visit with you. You can get dressed.”

She left the room, turning the light on as she closed the door behind her.

That wasn’t quite an answer.

While Devin waited outside, Lacey dressed quickly, nerves overtaking her stomach. Was the tech not supposed to tell them anything? What if something was wrong?

Dr. Lescale entered the room, laughing at something Devin had said.
