Ellis was stunned once again. "What?"
He was usually quite calm, but today, he was shocked twice in a row.
He slowly looked up at Mary in disbelief.
Mary said, "Yes, we're having twins, and the checkup shows it should be one boy and one girl."
Ellis was flabbergasted.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up, wanting to reach out and touch Mary's belly, but he hesitated, swallowed, and cautiously looked at her abdomen. "Twins?"
"Yes."
"Mary, are you a fairy sent from heaven to save me?"
Ellis rushed to the door, opened it, and was about to share the great news with everyone when he saw his parents tumble in.
It turned out the two had been eavesdropping outside the door all along...
A wave of jubilation swept through them.
But soon, they calmed down.
Mrs. Olsen looked at Mary. "Sweetheart, why didn't you tell us earlier? Ellis and I were both misled!"
