Rona and Edward and Ezio entered the gynecology examination room this afternoon. A doctor and a nurse greeted them with a friendly smile.
"Good afternoon Doctor Emmy," Rona courteously greeted her obstetrician.
"Good afternoon Mrs Edward. Please sit down," replied Emmy. Emmy pointed towards the empty seat that was in front of her using an open palm.
Rona and Edward thanked him simultaneously and sat down together on the chair that had been provided. Their gazes instantly fixated on Doctor Emmy's grim face.
Emmy gave a rude sigh while opening Rona's content check file. "You're late check up 3 weeks Mrs Edward. You should check the content regularly and periodically for the sake of monitoring the health and development of your fetus."
"I-yes Doc, sorry. There are so many things that we can't explain one by one, that my wife can't have her contents checked regularly" Edward replied to Emmy's words that regretted her patients being undisciplined.
"I hope next month is not too late again, because the drugs and vitamins I prescribed are also only for 1 month" Emmy said.
"Well, Doc.." replied Edward quickly.
"Well, we start the examination, yes." Emmy stood up and walked to the side of the hospital bed. "Mrs Edward, please get on the patient's bed." While waiting for Rona, Doctor Emmy prepares the examination apparatus.
Rona got out of her chair and then climbed into the patient's bed with the help of her husband. Edward returned to his original place and lifted Ezio's body onto his lap.
"Please take off her clothes Madam" Emmy said with the transducer in hand. Rona lifted her midi dress, a nurse quickly covered the bottom of the abdomen to the feet using a blanket. Emmy began applying Clear Ultrasound Gel to the top of Rona's stomach and turned her gaze toward the monitor.
Rotating the tool he held, a picture of the uterine sac on a computer screen appears. "That's a picture of the future baby Madam, sir. The gestational age is about 18-19 weeks."
Emmy moves the transducer again to the right and then to the left, the eyebrows are linked. "So, Madam, the last time the fetal sac was checked was only one, right?"
"Yes, Doc. There's only one, so why?" sahut Rona was surprised.
"On the monitor there are three fetal sacs, ma'am," replied Emmy in amazement.
Rona looked at the monitor and noticed an oval-shaped image. "Then what does that mean, Doc?"
"That means you're going to have triplets" Emmy explained as she moved the ultrasound.
"A-what's Doc, triplets?" rework Rona to make sure. Between happiness, surprise and disbelief, Rona's mouth was gaping with tears flowing from both corners of her eyes. He stared at the equally dumbfounded Edward.
"But-but I don't have twin genes, Doc. Could that happen?" Edward still could not believe what he heard or saw.
Emmy gave a smile and answered Edward's question straightforwardly. "Anything can happen, sir. When the power of God speaks...."
Edward was embarrassed to hear Emmy's answer, because he had been too alive based on logic. Until he forgets, there will be things beyond human reason that can only be understood with confidence in God.
"Then how is my fetal development Doc?" ask Rona worried.
Emmy noticed the size of the fetus on the monitor screen and let out a slight sigh. "The size is still very small, ma'am. But this is still reasonable because it is only the first trimester. I recommend you to eat regularly with a nutritious menu. Fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and assisted with special milk pregnant women."
"Well Doc, I'll pay more attention to my pregnancy" replied Rona.
"Congratulations Madam and Mr. Edward" said Emmy after Rona sat down before him. "Once again, please check the contents regularly. And remember my message, yeah...."
Dr. Emmy writes down some vitamins and drugs to buy at the Hospital pharmacy. "It has iron, calcium, folic acid and vitamin D for one month. Please take it according to the dosage and rules I prescribed."
"Good, Doctor. Thank you very much" said Rona, taking a piece of paper handed over by Emmy's doctor.
Rona and Edward walked out of the obstetrician's room. Ezio who had just been silent, now made a sound.
"Mommy... What are triplets?" ezio asked with his innocent face.
Rona chuckled then summarized the handsome face of her eldest son. "Three twins, in Mommy's stomach are three baby sisters. Meaning... Ezio will have a sister at once three."
Ezio brandished his hands while counting his fingers one by one. " One.. two...."
"Ezio's gonna have this much sister, Mommy?" Ezio pointed three fingers.
Rona nodded happily. "Yes dear... Ezio will have three direct sisters...."
"Horay.... Ezio has three younger siblings. hooray.." cried Ezio happily.
Rona was happy to see the happiness of her son, a smile growing on her face non-stop. Likewise with Edward, it was like a dream for him that they would have three children at once.
Rona's attention was distracted at a girl sitting in the queue of an obstetrician patient. His stomach looks distended, unlike the last time he met who was still flat and small.
"Edward.. Isn't that Arabella?" Appoint Rona to the girl wearing the black mini dress.
Edward turned his head and looked for the figure called by his wife. His sense of sight caught the woman he once hated and perhaps even to this day. His forehead frowned as his eyeball scanned Arabella's visibly enlarged abdomen.
"Well, it's Arabella, but why is she here? His stomach? Is she pregnant?" The questions arise in Edward's mind, as well as in Rona's mind. Although the girl had intended to kill him, but seeing him pregnant without a clear status, Rona's heart was also filled.
"Come, Edward. Last time we met at the Hospital it felt like the stomach of Arabella was still very flat. But right now the size of her stomach is beyond the size of my stomach." Rona stared at Arabella's stomach and then at her stomach.
"Did Roland know about this sister?" ask Edward again. Edward reached into his pants pocket and took out a flat object from inside. He aimed at the camera and took a picture of Arabella with her big belly.
"What's Edward for? It doesn't seem to be our domain to interfere" added Rona, who dislikes her husband's attitude.
"Roland must know about his sister, because all this time he was very fond of and spoiled Arabella," said Edward put his phone back in his pants pocket. "Let's get out of here, before Arabella realizes where we are!"
Edward invites Rona to rush out of the Hospital. They walked with wide strides, towards the exit that was opposite the obstetrician's room.
