On the ultrasound table, the technician runs a wand over my exposed belly. We hear the thump, thump, thump of a heartbeat, and Stella grips my hand in hers.

“That’s the baby?” I ask.

The tech shakes her head, eyes narrowed in on the screen. “No, that one is your heartbeat,” she says slowly. “Hmm, give me a sec.” She squints at the machine as if it is going to speak to her.

“Is something wrong?” I ask, suddenly scared. The pregnancy was a surprise, of course, but my heart is already wrapped around this little life. I blink back tears, thinking of my sister’s loss, and how she experienced it all alone.

Am I going to lose something too? Is that why the tech won’t look at me?

“What’s wrong?” I say more frantic this time.

Suddenly the room is filled with a heartbeat–a heartbeat that is not my own.

“Is that the baby? Is the baby okay?” I ask.

“No,” the tech says still staring at the screen.

“What?” I cover my mouth with my hands.

The tech turns toward me now and smiles. “The baby isn’t okay. But the babies are. Congratulations,” she says pointing to the monitor where two embryos are now visible. “You’re having twins.”
