I gritted my teeth. This Dr. Young was playing a deep game. The best way to get on my good side was to take care of the people I loved. And by the looks of things, Alice and Reena were happier than I had seen them in weeks.
Mary Lou went back with Alice, and Mark and I sat down for a moment.
“Well, what do you think of Dr. McChild now?” Mark’s tone was decidedly smug.
“Remember when I said you were adorable?”
His eyes widened and that sexy smirk was back. “Yes?”
“Damn it, you really are.”
CHAPTER 32
Mark
“Are you feeling any better, Mark?” Alice lifted another ice pack for me to replace the one that was currently sitting on the goose egg forming on my skull.
“Thank you, Alice.” I blinked, trying to get the world to make sense again. “Did the doctor say what I think he said?”
Alice sent a nervous look over to Dr. Young. “Was everything okay with the ultrasound?”
I had forgotten that she wasn’t in there. Sutton and I had done all of the preliminary tasks of a prenatal appointment. From there Dr. Young had told her that she was past due for an ultrasound. He had squeezed the jelly stuff on her belly and pulled out the wand, just like Dr. Roberts had at one of the early appointments.
But I couldn’t even wrap my brain around what happened next.
Dr. Young had smiled and asked, “Do you want to know the sex of your babies?”
Babies.
Two.
Duo.
Twins.
Things got a little fuzzy at that point, and the next thing I knew Alice was hovering over me. Apparently Dr. Young had called her in to bring a snack and an icepack.
