"O-Oh and, um, you're the, uh...father?" Peter asked then, glancing at Romulus for only a second before his eyes nervously flitted away.

Romulus stopped his glowering, blinking and looking up then.

"Oh...yes? I mean, I'm pretty sure I am. Right?" He looked to Remedy.

“He is the father.” Remedy nodded with certainty, clapping her hand on Romulus’s knee. Remedy observed Peter carefully, it was such a foreign concept to her, that Romulus could be scary. She couldn’t remember ever being afraid of him or even the idea of him. She felt bad for Peter, that he was so scared, but she felt bad for Romulus too. At the end of the day he was just a person, he couldn’t read, he called Roxanne, ‘mom,’ and would get bloated on her baked goods. His brother would follow him to the ends of the earth, and Remedy trusted him faithfully, Romulus had a heart of gold.

But Peter didn’t need Remedy to tell him that, she wouldn’t, he’d have to figure that out for himself over the course future appointments.

“He’s not gonna do anything to you, Pete. Do your thing, doc.” Remedy said, nodding at Peter, addressing his nervousness.

Romulus blinked, confused for a moment by Remedy's words, before his eyebrows shot up and he let out a little "ah" in realization. He looked to Peter and waved a dismissive hand.

"Oh, I don't do that anymore." He said, regarding his general misdoings in his previous life with his parents. "Also, I'm on probation and Remedy would get in big trouble too if I did. So, you don't have to worry." He added, though it didn't make his case sound any better.

Peter nodded.

"A-ah, I apologize. You're right. I should just do what we came here to do." He said, still rattled, though he was at least moving forward in the appointment. "Do you have any idea how far along you might be?" He asked Remedy.

“No idea, my periods had never been regular so I don’t know when I would’ve missed my period.” Remedy shrugged. “My mom thinks I could already be a month long but that couldn’t be right.” She sort of chuckled, fanning away the thought.

Remedy was actually showing a bit, she didn’t know there were two heartbeats inside her stomach, but her size would make more sense when they find out. Her stomach was low and “bloated,” in appearance, the weight all in her uterus. In truth, Remedy was anywhere between thirteen and fifteen weeks long.

"Well, I uh think you might be a little further than that if I'm being honest." Peter said as he glanced down to the beginnings of Remedy's belly. "We'll do a scan to confirm and we'll do all of our preliminary testing. Um...would you mind getting on the exam table?" He asked.

"A scan? Do we get to hear the baby today?" He asked, referring to what Remedy had told him earlier. This piqued his interest more than any poking they would be doing to Remedy and his eager smile showed.

“Yeah, I can do that.” Remedy nodded, squeezing Romulus’s knee before standing up. Remedy plopped down on the exam table, scooting back awkwardly to adjust the paper cover underneath her.

“It might be helpful if you can give us a run down of what we’ll do today and what to expect at the next check up. This is a first for both of us.” Remedy added.

"Oh, well, since this is your first appointment, we have a lot of ground to cover. We need to do some basic bloodwork, we'll also need to do a pelvic exam, and, of course, because we aren't sure about how far you are, we'll go ahead and do an ultrasound." Peter explained as he went ahead and gloved up. "It's probably going to be the most, um...thorough, but that just means going forward the appointments will be a little easier given there aren't complications. Later on, we'll do more genetics testing. Depending on how far you are, we might arrange that for the next appointment."

Romulus scooted closer to the table, reaching for Remedy's hand where she was perched. He watched Peter intently as Peter desperately tried to not watch him back and focus on his work instead. As he did all the doctor things Romulus didn't quite understand, Peter asked Remedy questions about her health history and about how she had been dealing with her pregnancy symptoms so far. After taking her blood and giving her a general exam, he changed gloves and pulled over a clunky looking machine that was taking up space in the corner of the room.

"Alright, Remedy, go ahead and lay back and pull your shirt up. We'll go ahead and do the ultrasound before we continue with the more uh... i-invasive examination." Peter said, unable to keep himself from glancing to Romulus, almost as if he expected Romulus to make a scene at the mere suggestion. Romulus, however, didn't looked bothered in the least.

"What's an ultrasound?" He asked, looking to Remedy as he was sure she'd be the one to answer him (as she had been for most of the appointment so far).

Remedy situated herself, reclining back and lifting up her shirt. She rolled up the fabric to stay in place, so she would have a free hand to hold Romulus’s. She wasn’t nervous at all, but was happy to reassure Romulus if she could.

“An ultrasound is…taking a picture on your insides kind of. You can see the baby.” Remedy explained but looked to Peter, to add any follow up if he desired.

Romulus's eyes shot wide with surprise and excitement.

"We get to see them?" He asked, a hint of a smile already pulling at his lips. He flapped eagerly at Peter then. "Hurry, I want to see."

Peter flinched and fumbled with the gel and doppler in his hands, but went ahead with the procedure. He laid on the gel and pressed the doppler to Remedy's stomach and almost instantly became taken aback at the whooshing of two echoing-no...two very separate heartbeats before adjusting the probe and confirming not one, but two little figures nestled in close together in Remedy's womb.

Remedy had relaxed into her seat, and looked to Romulus while Peter prepared with the doppler. She studied Romulus’s face, she wanted to see his expression when he saw their baby for the first time. Remedy didn’t fully drink it in as she heard, what sounded like two heartbeats. Her neck jerked to observe the screen, two obscure baby shapes, floated on the screen.

“Heh, it’s almost like there’s two babies.” Remedy offered with a nervous chuckle, surely she couldn’t be pregnant with twins.

There was a brief silence in the room besides the steady whooshing of the babies' heartbeats.

"Well...uh...um...u-uh, that's because it looks like there is." Peter said, adjusting the view a few times over as if to confirm what was blatantly obvious: there were two fetuses. Twins.

Romulus blinked, taken aback. He looked from the screen, to Remedy, back to the screen, and then Peter.

"Two? Are you sure?" He asked, surprised as if he weren't a twin himself.

Remedy stared blankly for a moment, processing the words she was hearing and what she was seeing in the screen. Twins, she could hardly believe it.

“Are they boys at least?” Remedy asked after a moment.

She couldn't say she was excited, but she wasn’t especially deterred. They were two people, two arms each, how hard could it be?

“Do they look ok, healthy?” She followed up.

"Oh, I, uh can't tell the gender yet, but they look healthy. They look good." Peter assured before taking a few pictures and doing a few measurements on the screen. "Judging from their size, I think they're about thirteen weeks, perhaps going on fourteen. You're already in your second trimester probably."

Romulus looked back to the screen, surprised but...well pleased. He smiled at the screen, though he didn't know anything about what Peter was saying about weeks and trimesters.

"Two babies. We have two babies." He said, grinning giddily.

“Second trimester?” Remedy repeated, somewhat incredulous, mostly because she was still trying to keep up with everything as it was being said. “Okay, okay, do I need to be doing anything differently? Since they’re twins and I’m farther along?” She asked, concerned but eager to get her ducks in a row.

“Not in particular, just mind your diet and keep active. They look great so far, we’ll do more testing at the next appointment to check for potential abnormalities.” Peter explained as he took a few more pictures at various angles. He glanced towards Romulus, noting his excited and proud grin. “Uh…do…do you want print outs?” He asked.

Romulus lit up even more, if that was even physically possible.

“Print outs? Like pictures? We can get those? Yes! Please!” He laughed, looking to Remedy with glee. Any worries he had earlier about being a parent seemed to have to washed right off him upon seeing his babies.
