After Octavia and Karsen's wedding we came home and went to bed
_____
The next day I woke in bed by myself I turned over and saw there was a note
It said "hey baby I got called into work but I'll be back soon I love you call if you need anything"
I stayed in bed for a few minutes before I got up quickly and ran into the bathroom and puked into the toilet
After I felt a little bit better I stood up and brushed my teeth then I went to the kitchen to make me something to eat
I was craving pickles and Nutella so I got the pickles out of the fridge and the Nutella out of the pantry
A few minutes later Xander came home and saw me eating
He laughed and said "pickles and Nutella"
I said "what it's good"
We decided to watch a movie after awhile I started getting hungry again
So I got up and went to kitchen and made me a tomato, ranch, pickle sandwich and some ice cream with cucumbers on it
Then I went back into the living room and Xander said "uhm babe you feel okay"
I said "yeah why wouldn't I be"
He said "I don't know maybe because your eating a tomato, ranch and pickle sandwich when you don't even like tomato's or ranch and you put cucumbers on your ice cream"
"I know but I've been craving stuff that I don't normally eat and I threw up this morning" I said
"Okay baby let's take you to the doctor" he said
So we turned off the tv and got in his car and headed to the doctor
When we got there we checked in and waited after a few minutes the nurse called us back and said "what seems to be the problem"
I said "well this morning I threw up and I've been craving food that I don't eat"
She said "okay come with me into a different room"
That's what we did and she had me lay down on the bed thing and then she put this gel type stuff on my stomach and then used a wand type thing and moved it around my stomach with the gel
She smiled and said "congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Rutter you're pregnant"
I looked at Xander and said "we're pregnant"
He smiled and said "we're pregnant"
The nurse said "you're about 10 weeks along come back in 9 weeks for another check up
Your due date should be September 15,2022
After that she wiped all the gel off my stomach and we left the hospital
We got back into his car and drove home
I still had morning sickness for a couple more weeks
_____
9 weeks later
We went back to the doctor and heard the baby's heartbeat
It was so amazing to hear I can't believe I'm growing a little human being inside me
The nurse said "hold on"
I said "what's wrong"
She smiled and said "nothings wrong just there's another heartbeat"
Xander looked at the nurse and said "we're having twins"
She nodded and said "congratulations"
I can't believe I'm carrying two little human beings inside me
"You are 18 weeks pregnant so if you'd like I can tell you the genders" the nurse said
We nodded she said "okay so baby number 1 is a boy and baby number 2 is a girl"
After that we went home and watched Disney movies
The morning sickness went away and so did the cravings
I called everyone and told them the good news when I got off the phone I went to bed
_______
September 15, 2022
_____
I'm now 9 months pregnant and Zoey and River should be coming any day now
A few days later I woke up and went downstairs to get me something to eat
As I was putting cream cheese on my bagel I felt something wet go down my legs
I looked down and saw that my water broke I yelled "Xander it's time my water broke"
He came running downstairs with his, mine and the babies stuff for when we leave the hospital
We got in his car and drove to the hospital
Xander said "I'll be right back I'm going to get a nurse"
Xander ran into the hospital and came back out with a nurse and wheelchair
When they got back to the car Xander opened the door and the got me out and sat me down
Xander got our stuff and we went in and went to the Obgyn part and they stuck me in room 230
After a few minutes two nurses came in
One nurse was hooking me up to an iv and the other nurse was seeing how dilated I was
The nurse who checked to see how far I was said to the other nurse "She's at at a 5 right now"
After they left Xander was talking to me trying to distract me from the pain
After awhile the same nurse came in and checked me again she said "okay honey your at a 10 so let call the doctor and two more nurses in here
After the doctor and the two other nurses came the doctor took the first nurses place and checked me and then said "okay Adeline i need you to push"
So I pushed and pushed and pushed
The doctor said "one more push"
So I pushed one more time and the doctor said "a beautiful baby boy" the doctor gave him to the nurses so they could get him clean and then one of the nurses said "dad come over here"
So Xander did and the nurse said "now I'm gonna give you some scissors to cut the umbilical cord okay"
Xander nodded and did as he was told after River was cleaned off and put in a diaper and wrapped him in a blanket one of the nurses gave him to Xander
The doctor said "now Adeline I need you to push again okay"
So I pushed and pushed and pushed
The doctor said "a beautiful baby girl"
Then he gave her to the nurses and they cleaned her and then had Xander cut the umbilical cord
After he did that they put her in a diaper and then wrapped her in a blanket then the same nurse gave me Zoey
After awhile a nurse came back with everything I he'd to follow with the babies while here
I then filled out the birth certificates
A few days later we got to go home
______
So we're at home now and Zoey and River are in their cribs sleeping
While Xander and I are watching tv downstairs
