The nurse put the gel onto Char's stomach and Char kept her eyes closed during the entire thing, until we started seeing the babies. 
'There we go mama. We're up and running now' the nurse said and Char still kept her eyes closed. 
'Can I open my eyes now?' She said and the nurse answered yes. So Char opened her eyes. 
'Everything looks amazing here. The twins look comfy in there. Are you experiencing any pain?' The nurse asked Char and I looked at her aswell. 
'A bit. I mean my lower back has been aching a bit more. I've been feeling a lot more tired, oh and I felt them kick about an hour ago' Char said all excited to the nurse and I smiled down to her. 
'Yes! That's amazing news and that's extremely positive. You will start to experience more movement and kicks occasionally especially as you are now in your 18th week' the nurse said and Char nodded. 
'Would you like to know the genders today?' The nurse asked and looked at us both, but I wanted to leave the decision down to Char, it was her body. 
Char looked up at me and it looked like she wanted to know now. So did I. 
'Yes please' Char said quickly, and the doctor nodded. 
'Okay, let's see if we can see these genders' she said as though she made it her mission. 
I said a silent prayer that she could find the genders today, and I saw Char doing the same thing. She thought she was slick. 
'I've seen the genders, but I don't normally tell my patients in here. I've had too many families break my equipment' the nurse joked and we both laughed too. 
'I will see you next door in a minute?' She asked and we both nodded and she left the room. 
'You ready to find out baby?' I asked her as I wiped the gel off her stomach and helped her up from the bed. 
'Ready as I'll ever be' she said and we walked into the consultants office next door. 
'Ready?' The nurse said and Char nodded eagerly. 
'Congratulations to you both, you are having 2 girls' the nurse smiled hard and me and Char both looked at each other. 
'2 girls?! That's amazing, oh my gosh' Char said choked up. She had already started crying. 
'Wow, we so blessed' I said and smiled at the Char. I've wanted to have a girl one day, and now God blessed me with 2. I was forever grateful. 
The nurse finished up with us, and we walked back and got into the car. 
'Thank you mama. Thank you' I said to Char who had a tear stained face from crying so much in the Nurse's office. 
'Don't thank me. We in this together baby, you gon be a girl dad. How you feel?' She joked and I laughed with her. 
'Nah seriously. This makes me so happy. You really came into my life and made it so much better. You blessing me with my daughters man, that's a lot already' I started and she rolled her eyes up to stop the tears from falling from her eyes. 
'Baby please, I can't cry anymore today. My tear ducts gon dry out' she joked and I laughed at her. 
'Let those tears fall mama, you know they gon come out regardless' I said and she rolled her eyes. 
'Ugh, you making me a mess. I'm so excited though for our future together' and when she said that something dawned on me. This girl is really mine and I'm gon make her see it today. 
'Wait there mama, I'm gon be back' I said and I ran outta the door. 
Charlene's POV :
I didn't know why Nathan just left here like that, I thought we were having a good time. I was feeling so overwhelmed with everything, maybe I said something or did something wrong? 
I hadn't spoken to Kayla since I told her I was pregnant, and of course she was excited and screaming down my phone. I needed to tell her the genders, seeming as I couldn't really tell my parents. I didn't feel comfortable. 
'Hey baby mama! How are you bestie? How my kids? You been feeding em?' She asked me and I laughed at her. She really think these twins hers. 
'Yeah I have. Guess what I did today?' I asked her and she shrugged whilst looking into the phone eagerly to hear what I did. 
'I got the genders. Wanna know?' I said and she started clapping. 
'So how come you went to the appointment without me? Making me seem like an absent father' she said rolling her eyes and I sucked my teeth at her. 
'Well I hope these girls don't come out with your attitude then' I sassed back at her and her eyes widened. 
'Your having two girls?' She said and her smile widened when I nodded. 'Aw bestie, I'm so happy and proud of you. Everything okay?' 
'I'm starting to enjoy my pregnancy a lot more but' I started then stopped. 
'What's wrong Char?' she asked me looking all concerned. 
'Well I mean, me and Nathan just had a good moment here and he just ran outta here. No explanation or nothing' I said feeling myself getting worked up all over again. 
'Girl, it could be anything. Don't always think negatively, you know you found a good one in Nathan' she said and I shrugged. 
'I'll talk to you later, I need to cry and overthink' I joked and she laughed at me. 'Love you' i said to her and she blew kisses to the camera before hanging up.
I put on Treat Me By Somebody by Tink on my speaker and turned off my phone for the rest of the night. I switched off all the lights and was just about to go to sleep when I heard the door. 
Nathan's POV : 
I walked back into the apartment and heard some break up some playing faintly in the background. I knew I shouldn't have left like that without saying anything, cause I know Char overthinks. 
'Mama where you at?' I called out and I heard quiet sobs followed by her sucking her teeth at me.
'Why you gotta attitude for?' I asked her as I switched on the bedroom light to see her wrapped up in blankets, turned away from the door. 
'Whatever. Shut the light off' she sassed me and I ignored her. 
'So you not gon tell me whats wrong? You just gon ignore me? That's whack ma, talk to me' I said to her sitting by her now. 
'Why you just leave like that? What did I do? She said and she looked at me with her tear-stained face. 
'I just had to go get something ma, I'm sorry for leaving like that' I said and rubbed on her thigh. 
'Okay, so where did you go?' She said now sitting up slowly and adjusting herself. 
'Mmm, you not getting it today. Go to bed though' she said and sucked her teeth and laid back down. 
'Whatever. Whatever' she tutted and turned her music back on quietly. 
Next Day - 12:00pm
Charlene's POV : 
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and when I looked at it, it was my father. And my heart dropped. I picked it up and waited for him to speak first. 
'I want you and Nathan to come to the house at 2:30'
