Desmond offered the two a smile when they came in and nodded when she greeted them. He wondered how many times she'd seen single people come in on their own or maybe someone who was in a couple at the beginning but were separated somewhere along the way. He could see how something like this could be a strain on the couple-- it hadn't been a walk in the park for them either, but they could pull it off because they had each other. At least that's how Desmond felt because there was no way he'd have been able to do it on his own and it made him feel uncomfortable when he thought about how close that could have been to happening when he'd pushed Ocean away in the beginning. He shook those thoughts from his head, wanting to focus his attention on the babies, and squeezed Ocean's hand when he felt the gel being applied to the melon sized lump in his belly. "Definitely ready," Desmond agreed, turning his attention to the monitor when the scanner was placed against his skin.

"Alright so it looks like twin A here," the technician started, pointing out one baby-shaped gray blob on the screen. "Is a boy!" Desmond couldn't help but squeeze Ocean's hand in excitement at the news though he kept his eyes on the screen as the technician moved the scanner around for a better look at the second twin. "And twin B is....another little boy! Congratulations you two." Snapping a couple of pictures for the two of them, the technician gave Desmond a clean towel to wipe his stomach while handing the photos to Ocean.
