'Cause Now I Know It's All That I Wanted, chapter 16
"This is nerve wrecking."
"Calm down India, he'll be excited."
"But still Mike! What if he isn't?"
"He will be."
"Ok, if he isn't, you're going to pay."
"I'm already paying for this dinner, what else could I pay for?"
"Whatever."
Billie Joe and Adie came into the restraunt first, I smiled at them at gave them both a kiss on the cheek.
"So, what's up? Why are we here this evening?" Adie asked.
"Let's just say we have a very big announcement," Mike said while kissing me. I smiled at him as my dad and Larissa came in with their fingers intwined. Mike waved him over to where we were and Dad smiled and walked to us.
"Nice place for dinner," Dad smiled at me. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and sat down where we told the waiter what we wanted to drink.
"So, what do we owe this lovely dinner?" Dad asked us. I looked at Mike to see if it was a good time, he nodded and so I just took it slowly.
"Um, I know it's only a month until the wedding but Mike and I just discovered, we're about to have a child."
Everyone seemed to spit out their drinks at the same time. I laughed and dabbed my face with a napkin.
"A child? India, is this true?" Dad asked me.
"Yes Dad, I wouldn't lie about this."
"Wow, I knew this would happen, I knew it." He rubbed his eyes with the tips of his fingers and I held my breath.
"I congratulate both of you."
Tears came to my eyes as I laughed and hugged my dad. He seemed close to tears himself as Billie Joe and Adie just looked at each other. Adie smiled at me and started to speak.
"Get ready for it, your hormones will be so out of order you won't know what happen?"
"Nah, she'll be fine, if she's gotten this far without a mood swing, it won't be way too bad," Mike laughed. I decided to shake him up a little bit, "what's that supposed to mean?" I asked in my best angry tone. He just looked at me and didn't know what to be, embarrassed or just expressionless, then I started laughing.
"Ok, that was about 3 mood swings in one right there," Billie Joe laughed.
"No, I was just seeing how you would respond to me saying that," I giggled.
"Oh thank goodness!" Mike exclaimed. I giggled and kissed him as he got a face of relief.
"So, I hope you made a doctor's appointment for this?" Larissa asked.
"Yes, tomorrow, at about, um noon, I think?" Mike asked me. I nodded and smiled at him. So far, this was going spectacular.

"Congratulations Miss Wright, you are surprisingly two months pregnant."
"Oh my gosh!" I squealed while hugging Mike.
"Yep, they're doing perfectly."
I looked at the doctor with curious eyes.
"They?" Mike asked for me.
"Yes, you are having twins, congratulations!"
"Sweet!" I laughed while hugging Mike.
"Ok, well go home, get lots of rest, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks to determine the gender."
"Thank you doctor."
We walked out of the doctor's clinic and Mike looked like he was thinking around.
"Whatcha thinking about hun?" I asked.
"What's this going to do with the wedding?"
"What about it? We have all the plans, and I'm surely not changing it."
"But... the babies."
"Yes, I know about the babies, I'm kinda carrying them."
"Oh sorry."
"It's ok hun, but next time, think."
"Why would I do that?"
I laughed and rubbed my stomach where my and Mike's babies where. He chuckled and grabbed my left hand with his right hand.
"More shopping, joy," he laughed.
"What would you name it if it was a boy?"
"Um, Micheal Pritchard the second."
"Oh, fancy."
"How about you, what would you name it if it was a girl?"
"Julianna."
"Oh, pretty name."
"Thanks, ok, if you had.. another boy, what would you name him?"
"Um, I don't know exactly, but if there was another girl, I would name her Ginger."
"Ginger huh? That's interesting."
"And if there was another boy? What would you name him?"
"Hunter, it's always been my favorite name for a boy."
"Interesting."
"Ok, the plans are being the same, everything's going to be fine."
"I know, but it's just so exciting you know? I mean, the woman I love, having my kids, it's a good feeling."
"Yeah, wait until about seven months, where I'm yelling about how much I hate you."
"Can't wait."
"Calm down India, he'll be excited."
"But still Mike! What if he isn't?"
"He will be."
"Ok, if he isn't, you're going to pay."
