It was a sunny day in Braeton City.  The streets were full of vehicles, back to their busy lives on a Friday morning.  Ethan and Samantha were at the doctor's clinic, getting confirmation on the status of the pregnancy. It was more than a month ago that the doctor told them a second sac had developed.  Holding her husband's hand, Samantha took heavy breaths. As the doctor began the ultrasound, her eyes were glued to the monitor, wanting to confirm everything was true.  "Relax, honey. Everything will be okay," said Ethan.  The doctor chuckled and said, "Okay, here we go." "Oh, my goodness," Samantha sighed, seeing that there were in fact two sacs. The other one already developed a fetus, and a heartbeat was evident.  She closed her eyes and sighed before asking, "Doctor, I don't understand what happened here?" "Well, it's rare." The doctor pointed out to the first sac where a more developed

"Honey, wake up. Hon," Samantha softly spoke while waking Ethan. She repeatedly yet gently shook his arm and said, "Hon, I'm hungry." Baby one was turning 16 weeks old while baby two was already 13 weeks. Starvation started to kick in in the wee hours, and Samantha felt even more nauseated on an empty stomach.  Since Ethan did not like it when she disappeared out of nowhere, she had no choice but to disturb his sleep.  Humming as he awoke, Ethan massaged his temples before turning to his wife. His eyes remained hooded, recalling how they had slept past twelve, trying to settle Samantha's stomach.  In his bedroom voice, he echoed, "You are... hungry?" "Yes, hon. I could go down the kitchen - " "No, I'll get something for you. What do you think you can stomach?" Ethan weakly asked while trying to get up from the bed.  That was a difficult question for Samantha. Truth be told, it was so burdensome to figure out

7:00 PM at the Wright Diamond Corporation. "John, clear my schedule tomorrow afternoon." Ethan reflected a wide grin on his face before he told, "I'm going with Sam for her check-up, and tomorrow, we find out the twin's gender." "Oh, Mr. Wright. Someone looks very excited," teased John Garcia. It had been some time now that he could get away with these kinds of lines, especially if it had something to do with Samantha and the twins.  "Of course, John. I wasn't there for Kyle and Kenzie." He closed his laptop before resuming his thoughts, "I want to know exactly how it feels like. The last ultrasound she had, the babies were still so small." He got up, ready to leave and fetch his wife at the hotel before admitting, "It feels good to be a father, John. I have a reason to look forward to every day of my life. You should try it." John could not be more proud of the changes in his boss. From a cold and snob CEO, Ethan easily changed into a ha

"I booked two hours of the doctor's time today. There should be no excuse for not being able to determine the second baby's gender," revealed Ethan. Finally, the next month arrived, and yet again, Ethan cleared his schedule to join his wife on her next ultrasound. He only had three months left to have the nursery painted. He badly needed to get the gender out of the way.  "Two hours?!" Samantha reacted while sipping on her milkshake. Ethan made sure she had enough sweets before the ultrasound.  "I'm prepared to spend all the time needed. If we don't get a clear gender by today, I am going to announce that the second baby is a boy," declared Ethan before crossing his legs.  Samantha just chuckled and shook her head. She hooked her arm around Ethan's and concluded, "It's a girl. I can feel it." When Ethan and Samantha came inside the ultrasound room, the man settled in a seat next to his wife.  He was prepared

2:00 AM at a private hospital. "Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth.  "Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor. Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored.  "But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child.  "Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment." "Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the b
