I sigh.

Me

No, they sometimes do it to work out how far along you are. Stop worrying, everything will be okay. Now, go, enjoy your meeting and I'll call you when I am out xx

Keaton

Okay wife, xo.

Wife. My heart melts. Keaton replaced my tacky pink diamond ring with a thin gold band, and I love it. I did protest a little, but it's perfect. He still has the one from Vegas and he told me he is never taking it off.

“Arizona?” I hear Dr Kyra call me forward again and I push out of my seat and back into her office.

I re-take my seat as she pulls up my file on her computer once more.

“Okay, so your HCG levels are a lot higher than they should be for how far along you are. Could you be a little further?” My heart sinks, because if I am further, it will more than likely be my mystery man and not Keaton’s baby.

“I mean, there is a possibility. I know you can still have periods and be pregnant,” I breathe out, my voice quiet.

“Come lay down, let me take a look at your womb,” she smiles a bit too happy at the thought of that. I shake it off, laying on the bed and tucking the hem of my tee under my bra wire.

She squirts the cool gel on my belly, then takes her seat, reaches for the probe and she presses it against my lower stomach. I can hear her clicking the buttons as she takes measurements and I pray everything is okay.

“Well, I suppose this explains the high HCG levels,” she smiles as she spins the screen around and my eyes widen as soon as they land on the black and white fuzziness that is in front of me.

“No way,” I whisper.

And there on the screen in front of me is two sacks and two little beans.

“Twins,” me and Kyra say in unison.

“One placenta which means they're going to be identical...” she beams as she starts printing out pictures of the inside of my womb. “You're around six weeks. Due date 28th May, but as you know I am sure, twins normally come early. We will try and keep them inside as long as we can. Ideally…” and I switch off, I am too busy staring at the two little flickering heartbeats on the screen.

“Can't believe I can see their heartbeats,” I mutter to myself.

“I know, a little early but amazing for you,” she stands and wipes the gel from my stomach before helping me up. “I will get you some prenatal vitamins and we can book your next appointment and ultrasound in,” she sits back at her desk, drying her wet hands on a hand towel then sanitizing them.

I just nod.

I am numb as I try and work out in my head the dates and who the father may be.

“How does the beginning of November sound?”

“That works,” I rub my lips together as I lift my eyes to meet hers.

I have no idea how I am feeling in all honesty. I was excited when I walked in, and now, well...

“That's all booked in, I also booked another scan for December, your vitamins will be at the front desk,” she stands and shakes my hand once more before seeing me out into the waiting room.

We both say goodbye and I walk towards the front desk where a young girl smiles at me.

“I need to pick up some prenatal vitamins,” I lean my elbows on the light wood surface.

“Name?”

“Arizona King,” she nods, tapping on her computer then opening her drawer and pulling out my medication. I thank her and turn, when I see a pretty redhead woman standing in front of me. Pale skin, eyes different colors. One ice blue, one dark brown and freckles scattered across her nose. Of course.

“Arizona,” she says softly, and I know before she even introduces herself who she is.
