One week later, Desteny was sitting in the ultra-sound room by herself. She was tring to take her mind off of what was coming by thinking of what had all happened during the week.
The guys were coming home today after their tour. As promised, Nick had called Desteny everyday to see how she was doing. She had also talked to Brian and he told her how Nick was even more crazy then normal. All the guys wished her luck and they all promised they would come see her when the baby was born. A.J. liked to joke around, saying that the baby would be the newest addition to the Backstreet Boys. All the guys were very suportive of Nick and Desteny and that made them feel even better.
Desteny sighed, coming back to reality. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her mind off what the ultra-sound might show or might not show. She just wished Nick would get there. He was late, as usual.
Just then, Desteny heard the door clicked open. Desteny was expecting to see Nick's sweet face but instead she saw the gental face of the doctor.
"Hello Desteny. I'm Dr. Martens. I'll be doing your ultra-sound. Do you have any questions?" the doctor asked.
Desteny was about to relpy when Nick burst into the room. "Sorry I'm late, but I almost got kidnapped by a mob of girls," Nick aploligized.
Desteny sighed with releif and smiled. "You're lucky you made it, or I would have ripped your cute face off," laughed Desteny.
"I'm glad you made it Nick. I could tell Desteny was afriad you wouldn't make it," said the doctor, smiling, as she prepared the ultra-sound.
"No way. I'm not afraid of anything," said Desteny in moak anger.
"Ya right." Nick rolled his eyes as he sat down in a chair next beside Desteny.
"Let's get this ultra-sound going," laughed the doctor. "First thing I have to do is take that bandage off your stomach." Desteny was wearing a two piece pajama set so the doctor just lifted up her shirt a bit. Desteny still had a fairly large bandage where the bullet hit her. It was healing slowly, but at least it was healing. The doctor gentaly started to peel away the bandage. "That's a nasty boo boo," commented Dr. Martens, grimising.
Desteny just sighed, lying on the soft material of the bench.
"Now, this is going to be cold," warned Dr. Marten's, as got a tube of gel. She sqirted a little but on Desteny's stomach.
"Ah, that's cold," cringed Desteny.
"Told ya," smiled the doctor. Dr. Martens rubbed the get on her stomach. When she put some on Desteny's wound, Desteny cried out in pain and grabbed Nick's hand. "Sorry. I forgot that it's only a week old. I'll just skip that part," said the doctor, seeing the pain Desteny was in. She wiped her hands and put the little roller think on Desteny's stomach. Nick sqeezed Desteny's hand as they all watched the screen. Nick and Desteny couldn't make sence of what was on the screen but Dr. Martens could. "There's the baby." She examind it for a minute, looking surprised, then took it off Desteny's stomach and flicked off the screen. She looked Desteny and Nick in the eye, her face blank. Then she smiled. "The babies are fine. They are growing properly and will grow to be strong, normal babies," said the doctor.
Desteny and Nick broke into grins. "That's fantastic. I'm so relieved to hear....wait. Did you say babies?" asked Desteny, confused.
Dr. Martens smiled. "That's right."
Desteny looked at Nick, wide eyed. "What have we gotten ourselves into?" asked Desteny.
"So what's going to happen between you two?" asked Melody, licking her ice cream cone she had.
Nick wrapped his arms around Desteny. "Well, if we're starting a family, I think we better become a family," said Nick, smiling.
Melody stopped and looked at them. "Are you two talking about getting married?" she asked them.
"I think that's definalty in our future," smiled Nick, snuggling with Desteny.
"But not for a while because of the BsB tours and it will be after the baby. Oops, I mean babies," said Desteny, correcting herself.
"Twins. Yikes," said Nick.
Melody laughed. "Nick, I can so see you playing with two babies. You're just a big kid yourself. You're going to be more their best friend then their dad," she said, still laughing. Desteny laughed too, imagining it.
"I'm not that bad, am I?" asked Nick.
"Yes you are, but that's ok," said Desteny, kissing him.
"So what is going to be going on with you too?" asked Melody, returning to her past topic.
"Well, I'm not going to be there for Dest or the babies all the time which I've really upset about," said Nick, looking sad. But then he smiled. "Me and Dest have decide to get our own place."
"Really? That's so sweet," said Melody.
"Yea. I'm not going to be able to come on the tour after a few months so I'm going to have to come back here. But me and Nick decide that if we're going to be family, we should live together," said Desteny.
"Well, when you come back from the tour, I'll come back with you," said Melody.
"Mel, you don't have to do that," protested Desteny.
"I want to. Plus Dest, you're going to be pretty big by then and you're going to need some help," reminded Melody.
Desteny made a face. "Don't remind me. I'm going to hate being so big," she said, pouting.
Nick and Melody laughed at the look on her face. "Don't worry," said Nick, kissing her. "I'll love you no matter what you look like."
