Bound By Her Bump novel Chapter 40

After spending a week in Dubai, two weeks in Paris and a week and a half in Rome, Annie and Eric returned home. Their honeymoon was a memorable one. They spent time exploring the word together and also made love on most nights except when Annie was tired. Still, there were times she would wake him up at midnight and beg him to make love to her. She would use the baby as an excuse for making her horny as hell.

Annie and Eric decided to tell their families about the baby as soon as they got back from their honeymoon.

Annie's bump was now very obvious and there was no way she would be able to hide it for so long.

They got home on a Thursday night and woke up early on Friday to meet up with their Doctors appointment.

Doctor Grey was very happy to see them. She had grown closer to the couple. Annie felt comfortable opening up to her with everything concerning her pregnancy. She and Eric had even invited her to their wedding along with Doctor Myers and his family.

Alicia ushered them into the ultrasound room for the check-up.

"So how are you?" She directed to Annie. "Noticed anything strange since the last check-up?"

"I'm fine Alicia. Nothing much except I get tired easily. And I don't know, I have this weird feeling that my bump is bigger than usual. Maybe I'm going to have a big baby or if that isn't the case I feel Eric is feeding me too much. Maybe I'm getting fat."

Eric chuckled and kissed her cheek. "You're not fat babe."

"I agree with him. But an ultrasound will make us know if you'll be having a big baby."

Annie got on the scale on Alicia's instruction, weighed herself then Alicia wrote something down on her chart. It turned out that Annie had gained an extra three kg since her last check-up. Then Alicia ushered her to the stretcher where she laid down for the ultrasound. Eric took a seat beside her and held her hand.

"Okay, let's see." She said as her right hand was on Annie's belly controlling the wand while her focus was on the Monitor.

"Your baby is fin......Ohhhh!" She exclaimed.

"What is it?"

"Is anything wrong with the baby?" Annie and Eric asked.

Instead of Doctor Grey answering them, she more like talked to herself. "How come I never noticed?"

Tears were already building up in Annie's eyes. She concluded something was wrong with the baby.

"I just want both of you to listen," Alicia said which was followed by the baby's heartbeat.

After a few seconds of listening to the heartbeat, she turned to them and said: "Baby A is very healthy, now let's listen to Baby B's heartbeat." Then the room was filled with the sound of another heartbeat.

"No way!" Eric grinned as he looked at Annie who was shedding tears of Joy.

"I can't believe it. We asked for one and He gave us two. Thank you, God" He kissed Annie on her lips.

Annie could not even explain how she was feeling. She was overwhelmed; She knew her bump was bigger than usual so She was expecting the doctor to confirm her prediction that she was going to have a big baby and not Twins.

"It's okay Baby." Eric smiled at her and wiped her tears with his thumb.

"Congratulations to you both." Doctor Alicia Grey smiled. She was truly happy for them.

"Thank you." The soon to be parents replied.

Alicia grinned. "I hoped that confirmed why you have a big bump."

"Sure." Annie chuckled.

"So would you like to know their Gender?"

Annie looked at Eric and she could tell the answer from his eyes. She knew if she said NO, he would respect her decision. That was how much he loved her. Hell, she wanted to know so badly so she replied Doctor Alicia.

"Yes please."Eric kissed her cheek.

Alicia was busy studying the monitor for a while then she turned to them and announced their babies' gender.

"You're having Twin Boys."

"Damn, I'm the luckiest man in the world." He turned to Annie. "Thank you for giving me these precious miracles, thank you for bringing so much joy to my life. You're the best, babe." He placed a long kiss on her forehead.

Alicia excused herself to go print copies of ultrasound.

"I'm so happy," Eric beamed.

"Me too." She replied.
