Dr. Iris sat up straight and smiled. “Tell me again what’s concerning you.”
Cody squeezed Theresa’s hand. She wasn’t one to worry, which was what made him concerned. She had been complaining for weeks.
“By my count, I should be only four months along. But I’m as big as a house!” Theresa lamented. “I’m exhausted all the time and growing larger by the day.”
“I’m sorry. I know that sounds uncomfortable, but I can confirm you’re very healthy,” Dr. Iris smiled.
“But none of my sisters were this large at this point in their pregnancies. Unless you count Ruby and Opal, but that was different, because they were having—” Theresa sat up on the table and looked at Cody in shock.
Cody was confused. “What is it?”
Theresa and Dr. Iris spoke at the same time. “Twins.”
“What? We’re having twins? More twins?” Cody babbled.
Theresa was in disbelief. “How is that possible?”
Dr. Iris shrugged. “Twins can be more common than you might imagine. Both babies seem perfectly healthy. But you will be a little bigger than your sisters who only had one baby at a time. That’s quite normal.”
Theresa laughed. “I don’t know whether I’m more scared or excited. I feel like we just got the hang of having one set of twins. I can’t imagine what two will be like!”
Dr. Iris smiled at her patient and her family. “I’ll give you some privacy and will be outside if you have any questions.” She left the exam room.
Cody’s eyes grew large. “I can’t imagine our bills at the mercantile.” He recovered quickly. “It’s a good thing we know someone who works there.” He bent down and kissed Theresa’s forehead. “I’m only teasing, darling. I’m thrilled. All I’ve wanted since the moment I met you was to raise a family with you. And now we’re growing by the day.”
“I just hope I don’t grow so large I can’t fit through the door,” Theresa joked. “In all seriousness, I’m very happy, too. I love you.”
Theresa couldn’t believe how much her life had changed in a few short months. Although the future would be challenging and exciting at the same time, there was one point she was absolutely certain of—Cody Witherspoon was the man she was meant to be with, and together, they would build a beautiful family and life. She thanked her lucky stars for all of her blessings. She was exactly where she was destined to be.
