Chapter 21

We're having twins. I can't seem to wrap my head around it no matter how much I try to comprehend it. I was only expecting one child not two. Seeing two little babies on the ultrasound, it made me surprised but all the more happy as well.

We leave the doctor's office soon after hearing the news and the whole time Alex hasn't said much. I turn to him slightly to see him gripping the steering wheel hard and only focusing on the road ahead. I look between Alex and the road before I turn completely in his direction and softly take his hand making him jump slightly at the contact and quickly glances in my direction. "Alex? Are you okay?" I ask him softly as he remains silent at my question before sighing and slowly starts to nod his head. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just wasn't expecting him to tell us we're having twins." He tells me not breaking eye contact with the road. I don't say anything else for the rest of the drive and before I know it, we're pulling in the driveway.
