Chapter 1222

The doctor glanced over Josefina's test results. Last time, there'd only been one baby.

Now? Two. The doctor looked genuinely shocked for a second, then broke into a big smile. "Congratulations!" she said, warm and sincere.

Josefina stared at her, wide-eyed. "Two? But last time I checked, there was only one!"

Oliver was frozen in place, speechless.

Two?

Two?

The word just kept bouncing around his head, echoing like he was standing in a giant, empty room.

Twins. He was going to have twins.

He couldn't even imagine how his grandfather would react-would he be so happy he'd pass out on the spot? Oliver didn't even want to think about it.

Josefina, on the other hand, was almost giddy. When she glanced over and saw Oliver looking like a statue, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The doctor grinned, joining in. "Looks like your husband is too happy to even talk."

The doctor didn't know who Oliver really was, just saw a couple totally in love and caught up in the moment.

Josefina reached over and tugged at the hem of Oliver's shirt, bringing him back to reality.

Their eyes met, and Oliver's were shining, dangerously close to tears. Josefina was just about to comfort him when the doctor reminded her, "Let's do the exam, okay?"

Oliver pressed his lips together, staring at the monitor like it was written in another language.

"Josie, let's do the check-up," he managed, his voice low and a little rough.

Josefina took a steadying breath and lay back, letting the doctor go ahead.

...

When it was over, Oliver was still clutching the test results, and Josefina led him down the hall to talk things through with the doctor.

Everything was perfect-Josefina and both babies were healthy and right on track.

Still holding the papers, Oliver let Josefina guide him out, looking a little like he'd just been hit by a truck.

Josefina started laughing. “Wake up, babe! I'm just having twins, not giving birth to a superhero or something. Why are you so nervous?"

She sat him down, took the results from his hands, and tucked them safely away.

“Oliver, are you okay? You look completely out of it." She squeezed his hand.

He was still in shock. He never, ever thought they'd be having two babies at once. "What's wrong? Didn't know you had it in you, huh?" Josefina teased, grinning at him.

That finally broke through his daze. Oliver laughed, then pulled her close, hugging her tight like he never wanted to let go.

"You're the amazing one, Josie. Carrying twins is a lot. I just wish you didn't have to go through

olding be

so

าวเ

much," he murmured, his voice full

of love and worry.

“Let's hope the babies behave and don't make things too difficult."

"If they don't, I'll handle them when they get here," Oliver joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Josefina slipped out of his arms and took his hand, her tone more

serious. "Let's not tell the family

about the twins yet, okay? I don'met

want everyone freaking

freaking out You

know how your rahm parents get-one little thing and the

whole family is in chaos. The fewer

people who know for now, the

better. What do you think?"

"I think you're absolutely right. You always think of everything, Josie," Oliver replied,

looking at her with so much admiration.

Josefina's smile was all sunshine-impossible to hide. "Deal."

They got up and headed for the hospital entrance.

"Let's get you something good to eat," Oliver said. "You need to keep your strength

up."

If he probably bring her

every healthy food in the world right

then and there anything to

make

sure she and the babies were okay.

Hand in hand, they were almost out the door when someone called from behind

them.

"Oliver?" A woman's voice, bright with surprise and excitement.
