Chapter Text
Sarah and Cosima were in the same hospital room for their ultra sounds. Cosima was up first so she was laying down on the bed patiently waiting for the doctor to get ready.
Sarah was waiting in the chair next to Cosima.
"Oi doc when do we get to find out the gender?" Sarah asked fidgeting with her hands in her lap.
"We can usually see the gender at about 12 weeks or so. You guys are only at about 7 or 6 weeks so we can't tell much right now." The doctor said smiling.
"This is gonna be a little cold" the doctor said putting the gel onto Cosima's belly.
Cosima winced a little when it made contact.
"You were not wrong" Cosima said smiling and looking at the monitor as the doctor shifted the stick around looking for her embryo.
The doctor smiled and pointed at the screen.
"That's it. That's your baby"
"Holy watershed." Cosima said smiling sitting up to get a better look at the monitor.
Sarah smiled at Cosima and looked at the monitor with her.
"It looks like a blob right now but not too long from now you will start to be able to what looks like a baby" the doctor reassured.
"Alright well everything looks fine and healthy so you are done Ms. Niehaus." the doctor said wiping off the gel with a blue rag.
Sarah got up from her chair and made her way over to the hospital bed. Cosima stood and walked over to where Sarah had been sitting and sat down.
Sarah leaned back and let the doctor lift her shirt and apply the gel to her stomach.
Sarah winced at the gel.
"This gel shit is cold" Sarah remarked as the doctor shifted the gel around with the instrument.
"I know, sorry." The doctor said giving her a sympathetic smile.
"Ah there it is." The doctor said smiling and shifting the monitor slightly to give Sarah a better look.
Sarah smiled at the monitor.
Sarah had known it was there but seeing it was a whole different experience, she actually felt like it was hers.
"Oh would you look at that, usually can't see a heartbeat until 8 or 9 weeks but I can see it. Your baby has a heart rate of 105, which is really good." The doctor looking closely at the monitor.
"Holy shite." Sarah murmured under her breath.
"That's awesome Sar" Cosima said grinning at the monitor.
"Everything looks great so you are all done" The doctor said wiping the gel off.
"That was bloody quick."
"Wanna go check on the others Sarah?" Cosima asked standing and wandering to the door.
"Yeah what else do we have to do" Sarah said standing up from the table.
Sarah and Cosima came into the room where the rest of them were.
Alison was laying on the bed waiting for her ultrasound, Beth leaning on the wall right next to her giving her comforting smiles, and Delphine was sitting in the chair on the wall horizontal from Alison.
"Oi oi Alison. Are you the last one getting an ultrasound?" Sarah asked leaning on the wall vertical to Alison.
"Hello Sarah, no Beth still has to have one."
"Hey Sarah, how's the bun in your oven" Beth asked glancing at Sarah.
"Has a good heartbeat."
Beth nodded giving her a small smile before averting her attention back to Alison.
"Alright all set." The doctor said applying gel to the instrument.
"fair warning dude the gel is cold" Cosima said sitting down next to Delphine.
"Holy christ on a cereal bowl" Alison breathed as the gel made contact with her belly.
Sarah flashed a grin at the ramarke. Only Alison would say something like that.
"Alright there is your..." The doctor began to say but then trailed off. The doctor zoomed in on the monitor squinting.
You could just see the alarm sirens going off in Alison's head.
"What? What is it? What's wrong?" Alison said in a panicked tone.
The group started to get worried expressions on their faces.
"I didn't mean to scare you guys I apologize, it's just, you're having twins, identical twins by the looks of it." The doctor said smiling at Alison.
Alison gaped in shock for a moment.
"Holy shite." Sarah muttered.
"Oh my christmas cake! I- it doesn't run in the family! This is..holy christ." Alison said quickly.
The doctor turned the monitor and pointed at the two different blobs.
Alison gaped at the monitor before turning the shocked expression into a big smile.
Once everybody saw that she was happy about it everyone let out a breath they didn't know they were holding and smiled with her.
"Welcome to the trip man" Cosima remarked from the side.
"Congratulations Ali" Beth said giving Alison's knee a squeeze.
"Thank you Beth" Alison said giving her a smile.
The doctor printed out a picture of the twins for Alison before wiping the gel of Alison's belly.
Mrs. S walked into the room wearing a smile.
"What did I miss?" S asked resting her hands on her hips.
"Alison is having twins" Delphine said smiling at Mrs. S
"No way." Mrs. S said smiling at Alison who nodded in conformation and walked over handing her the picture.
"That is amazing news Alison, congratulations" Mrs. S said smiling looking at the picture and handing it back.
Beth then hopped on the bed and laid back lifting her shirt waiting for her ultrasound to begin.
"Cosima, can you get me a candy bar from the vending machine i'm starving." Delphine asked handing Cosima a 5 dollar bill.
"Totes. I will be back in a minute" Cosima said flashing a toothy grin.
Sarah needed Delphine to stop being oblivious and just snog Cosima already. They both obviously like each other why won't can't they just face facts and date.
Sarah walked over to Delphine and sat in the chair that Cosima was previously sitting in.
"Oi frenchy, Cosima likes ya' alright and all this romantic and sexual tension is bloody painful to watch so can you do me a favor and just snog her already?" Sarah said bluntly.
Delphine wore a confused look as she tried to process what Sarah had just said.
"Em I- hold on, She likes me?"
Sarah rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yeah she really does, now can ya' just do me a favor and stop avoiding the inevitable and go out with her some shite."
Delphine's jaw dropped a bit and her eyes widened.
She was obviously going into gay panic.
Shite.
Cosima walked in still smiling and handed Delphine her candy bar. Delphine took it and quickly stood, avoiding eye contact.
"I- em, thank you. I forgot I have to go see my mom, bye." Delphine said quickly and walked out of the hospital room.
Cosima looked a little taken back.
"That was really weird" Cosima said sitting next to Sarah still confused at what just happened.
Sarah had to refrain from banging her bloody head against a wall.
What the hell did she just do.
