Twins Gender

Ulie’s parents will be here in the Philippines next month. He decided to introduce me and to tell our situation to them.

The idea of meeting his parents makes me anxious.

I don’t have any idea about Ulie’s fiance. I don't even know her name but I'm sure that whoever the girl is, she will surely come from affluent family. I may be considered a rich person but compared to Ulie’s wealth, I am nothing. I am not sure if his parents will accept me or not though I know it doesn't matter because it was not on my plan to marry Ulie. I don't know why meeting them makes me so nervous, I should be cool about it.  But maybe the reason of my nervousness is because I was the reason why Ulie can't marry the girl that they chose for him.

Two weeks passed after Ulie found out about my pregnancy.

I must commend him because I never expected that he would support me with my pregnancy.

Ulie is visiting me in my penthouse to bring all my food cravings almost everyday. No matter how late I call him to buy me the food I want, he will buy it with no complain. If it's too late, he sometimes spend the night here in my place.

So far, I like the arrangement that we have. There is no pressure, no expectation and it was clear for both of us that everything we do is all for the twins.

I was back from my deep thinking when I heard my phone ring.

"Hello?"

‘I'm already in the basement.’

"Okay. I'll be right there."

Ulie and I will go to my OB for a check-up. Today we will finally know the twin's gender. Speaking of twins, I to tell him that we will be having twins.

When we arrive at the hospital, people keep staring at us. I don't know if those people knew us or they are just curious.

When we arrived at my OB’s clinic, my OB eyes widened upon seeing Ulie.

"Hi, I'm Kade Ulysses Escarrer. I'm the father of Penelope's child." He introduced himself in a formal tone.

I saw my OB blush as Ulie introduced himself.

I just shook my head. Ulie’s presence makes the girl giddy.

"Dra. Martha Allejo." She also introduced herself in a formal tone.

Dra. Allejo’s assistant guides me to the ultrasound area to check my twins' gender.

She made us hear the twins’ heartbeat again. I am starting to get emotional again, I know that it is due to my hormones.

Until now, this pregnancy feels surreal. It hasn’t fully sunk yet that there are twins inside my tummy.

I look at Ulie, and I saw him smiling while listening to our twins’ heartbeat. It was his first time hearing it, and I can see myself in him when I heard it for the first time.

"Are you ready to know the gender of your twins?" Dra. Allejo asked with excitement.

I saw Ulie’s forehead creased. "T-twins?"

Dr. Allejo nodded. "Yes, Mr. Escarrer, didn't Ms. Cabello tell you that you had twins?”

He then looked at me. "No. She hasn't told me yet."

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that we were having twins."

He just nodded, and he messed up my hair.

"It's okay, baby."

I felt blushed and kind of uncomfortable by what he said.

He's with his flirty mode again.

"We were ready to know our twins' gender Dra. Allejo." Ulie said.

The ob started to check the monitor. She moves the transducer tube to find the twins' gender.

"Your twins’ genders are a boy and a girl!"

My eyes widen. "Really?! Wow! Thank you, Lord!"

I can’t believe it. I am so happy right now. I wanted my twins' gender, a boy and a girl. I wanted a girl because I am sure that I will enjoy dressing her up like a doll. I also wanted a boy because I want him to inherit my company.

After our check-up, Ulie and I decided to have dinner first before we go home to celebrate.

"Now that we already know the gender of our twins. We need to prepare ourselves because my parents will be here in two weeks." Ulie said.

I just nodded at him. The truth is, I am not that excited to meet his parents.

"Also, I have already canceled the wedding. So don't be surprised if my parent's reaction when we meet them will not be that good.” He informed me.

I swallowed hard. I don't need them to like me, though, because I don't have plans on marrying their son.

"Ulie, I'm just curious. May I know the girl you are supposed to marry?" I finally asked.

I can’t help myself to ask him about the girl. I am so curious about the girl Ulie’s supposed to marry.

"She's Hadley Adelson. The only daughter of Simon and Lilah Adelson. The heiress of Adelson Hotels."

My eyes widen at his revelation. AGC owned more than 200 hotels in the USA. I heard that they are planning to expand their business in Asia, particularly here in the Philippines. They are like the Escarrer in America.

I completely understand why his parents will be in a bad mood because their son canceled his wedding.

"You look shocked." He said.

"Of course I am! They are Adelson! They are like the Escarrer in the USA!”

"So?" He reacts as it's not a big deal.

I can't believe him!

"You know you can still marry her. I mean, I will not chase you." I said, trying to convince him.

"Too late, baby. I have already canceled the wedding. Plus, we will have our twins. I don't want our children to be illegitimate. Once I marry her, our twins will become illegitimate. Do you want that?” He explained for me to understand.

That made me shut my mouth. "I don't want that."

"See? Stop thinking about her. Just focus on our twins."
