I have gone back over it for things I missed and there is nothing in it.

We were just happy.

Part Seven: Twins. Both Girls.

Not long afterwards we were told there were two of them in there, and that both of them were girls.

The two came first, at the early scan, and it arrived as a piece of information delivered so casually that I missed it.

The woman doing the scan said something about measuring, and then said something about a second one, and I said “a second what,” and Kevin’s hand closed on my wrist hard enough to leave a mark.

Twins.
