Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return

Chapter 105: Gender Reveal?

7:00 PM at the Wright Diamond Corporation.

"John, clear my schedule tomorrow afternoon." Ethan reflected a wide grin on his face before he told, "I'm going with Sam for her check-up, and tomorrow, we find out the twin's gender."

"Oh, Mr. Wright. Someone looks very excited," teased John Garcia. It had been some time now that he could get away with these kinds of lines, especially if it had something to do with Samantha and the twins.

"Of course, John. I wasn't there for Kyle and Kenzie." He closed his laptop before resuming his thoughts, "I want to know exactly how it feels like. The last ultrasound she had, the babies were still so small."

He got up, ready to leave and fetch his wife at the hotel before admitting, "It feels good to be a father, John. I have a reason to look forward to every day of my life. You should try it."

John could not be more proud of the changes in his boss. From a cold and snob CEO, Ethan easily changed into a happy and loving husband and father. He could not help but conclude how Samantha made his boss a better person.

He was especially happy how everyone in the company got an extra Christmas bonus because of Samantha. He, specifically, got more than the rest, having ensured the connection between his boss and Samantha.

"I'll definitely clear your schedule, Mr. Wright. There shall be no interference to the Gender reveal!" Declared John before opening the door for Ethan.

The next day, Ethan and Samantha arrived at the doctor's clinic an hour before their appointment.

Samantha was giggling while munching on her mandarin orange before she said, "We are too early, hon. You are too excited."

Folding his arms across his chest, Ethan answered, "I'm always early for my appointments."

"Well, not with doctors. They sometimes have emergencies and other patients to attend to," reminded Samantha.

Ethan glared at the secretary and said, "Tell the doctor, Ethan Wright and his wife came early to see her." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

The poor secretary, knowing the influence of Ethan, gulped air down her throat and responded, "I - I will, Mr. Wright."

The doctor arrived in twenty minutes and while she still had about half an hour before Samantha's appointment; she accommodated the prominent couple inside her clinic. They went straight to the ultrasound room to view the babies.

The second the doctor placed the probe on Samantha's belly, Ethan asked, "Are they girls or boys."

Samantha wound up laughing and so did the doctor.

"What an excited husband and father, " remarked the doctor.

"Very much, doctor. You don't know how many times we have had the gender conversation," revealed Samantha.

"Give me a second to maneuver around." The doctor started with the older baby, first checking on the heartbeat before finding the gender.

Pointing in between the legs, the doctor said, "that right there, standing up means... the first baby is a boy."

Ethan could not be more proud. He responded, "Good."

When it was finally time to check on the second baby, the doctor took her time. She frowned repeatedly before saying, "The baby is hiding himself or herself!"

She pointed to the screen and remarked, "the legs are crossed... Let's see."

"Oh, no. Looks like we won't know today," Samantha said, holding her obvious bump. "Move, baby. Move."

"What does it take for the baby to move?" Ethan probed with a frown.

"I ate cake earlier, hon. They say, sweets are supposed to encourage the baby to move before the ultrasound," revealed Samantha.

"Do I need to get some more? Maybe a drink outside or a shake?" Ethan inquired. He badly wanted to know the baby's gender.

Both the doctor and Samantha chuckled. Samantha answered, "Hon, it's okay. We can wait until the next visit."

The doctor still tried moving the probe from different angles, but still the same. She could not figure out the gender. She sighed and said, "I guess it's until the next ultrasound."

Ethan let out a long sigh and suggested, "Can we try tomorrow?"

"Honey, no. It doesn't matter," Samantha objected.

With a frown, Ethan said, "But, when are we going to start buying for their clothes, paint their rooms - "

"Ethan, honey. I'm still in my fourth month of pregnancy." Samantha held his hand and told, "We have time. Don't worry too much."

In the evening of that same day, as Samantha and Ethan rested on their bed, they covered the possible gender of their second baby.

Ethan studied his wife while she was eating a piece of mandarin orange. He caressed her belly and suggested, "I think the second baby is a boy."

"Oh?" Samantha answered, raising her brow. "I think it's a girl."

She chuckled and added, "It would be nice if both Kyle and Kenzie get a playmate each."

"Let's have another ultrasound soon," Ethan suggested.

Samantha chuckled and asked, "Does it really matter what the gender is? Will you love one less if it's a girl?"

Ethan sneered and glanced at his wife. He said, "Of course not, hon. I just want to be prepared."

Grabbing his phone, Ethan showed to his wife, "Look here. The shopping agent already gave me options for both girls and boys. I already confirmed the orders for our first baby and everything will be ready soon... We just need to paint the room according to their gender."

Yet again, Samantha chuckled and suggested, "What if we paint the room white? Goes with both a girl and a boy."

"Honey, please. I am very particular with specifics," answered Ethan. "I can't wait for the next ultrasound."

Another month passed.

Ethan and Samantha returned to the doctor for another ultrasound.

With the second baby now in its 5th month, they were confident the gender will finally be revealed.

Before leaving for the clinic that day, Ethan gave his wife a mug of ice cream, hoping that the second baby would reveal itself.

Ethan showed the same eagerness that day, rushing the doctor in her work. The second the doctor placed the probe in Samantha's belly, he asked, "What is it, doctor?"

While Samantha shook her head, the doctor smiled and answered, "We will get there. Hold on."

The couple noticed how the second baby was moving around. The doctor kept moving the probe, frowning as she tried to determine the gender.

"Okay, here we go." The doctor's eyes narrowed, focusing on the second baby. She declared, "The second baby is... a boy."

"Yes!" Ethan exclaimed, turning his hand into a fist.

However, just as he was delighted by the news, he heard the doctor say, "I think."

Both Samantha and Ethan turned to the doctor and echoed at the same time, "You think?"

"Or... it's a finger," the doctor said before sneering.
