“Congratulations.” She moved the wand around a bit before saying, “Let’s see if we can hear the heartbeat.” She moved the wand over Laurel’s stomach some more before settling on a spot. “Here we are.”
“I don’t see anything,” Zack said.
Laurel pointed to a black thing he assumed was the uterus. The doctor did something and they heard a swishing sound and a continuous thump. A fast thump.
“That’s your baby’s heartbeat,” the doctor said.
Fascinated, he listened. His baby’s heartbeat. His baby, growing inside Laurel. What a rush.
“The heartbeat sounds like it’s echoing,” Laurel said.
“Hmm,” Dr. Guilford said, moving the wand around and circling back, halted in roughly the same spot on Laurel’s stomach.
“What’s that?” Laurel asked sharply.
“Hmm,” Dr. Guilford said again.
“Dr. Guilford, what’s that?” Laurel pointed to something on the screen.
The doctor didn’t reply, but kept moving the wand into slightly different positions on Laurel’s stomach.
Something was obviously going on but Zack didn’t have a clue what.
“Here we go,” Dr. Guilford said. Finally, she froze the picture and magnified it.
“Oh, my God,” Laurel said, squeezing his hand hard. “That looks like—It can’t be—Are there two of them?”
Zack looked at the ultrasound again. Laurel was right. There were two blobs. At least, that’s what they looked like to him.
“Congratulations. You’re having twins.”
