It wasn't that he hadn't believed the at home test they'd taken weeks ago, but hearing the doctor say it aloud had Desmond releasing a breath of air he hadn't known he'd been holding. His eyes followed her's to the machines next to him before looking back at her with a nod, releasing Ocean's hand but not before giving it a tight squeeze for comfort. The doctor had him relax against the exam bed that had him comfortably propped up and asked him to pull his shirt up to his chest. The gel she rubbed on his lower abdomen with her gloved hand was cold, just as she had warned, and he shivered. Once he was comfortable and before she placed the scanner against his skin he reached for Ocean's hand once again. When she placed it against his skin it took a moment before she was able to spot anything, but once she did she focused her attention on that spot.

"There's your baby," she told them with a happy smile before something on the monitor caught her eye. She moved the scanner back to the spot where it had just been and made a noise causing Desmond's attention to focus back on her. "My mistake," she started, and for a second Desmond's heart sank. "There are your babies."

"I'm sorry, what?" Desmond asked, moving to sit up, the motion causing the nurse to lose the image she'd had.
