You will help me, right?

The conversation with Igor's friends and the removal of the beatings went much better than I thought. This whole story does not give me peace. I'm afraid that all my nerves will have a bad effect on the child. My brother did not show up, no one was looking for him. And we began to calmly leave the house, at least I did. Igor behaved as usual.

My week-long vacation ended and I returned to work. My consultations and operations went on as usual. I registered at the "Mother and Child Center" and I had to tell about it at work, because I could not hide it for long.

- Why do I find out about your situation through rumors in the clinic?

Nothing changes, Lera, in her usual repertoire, bursts into my office. Thank you that there was no patient here.

- Sorry, but you were with your family at your parents, why should I distract you?

- Are you serious now? I thought we were friends and shared everything that was going on with us?! - She walked over to my desk, sat down in a chair by the window and fixed me with her stern gaze. - I'll forgive you for this oversight only if you tell me everything immediately!

- Okay, - a smile appeared on my face.

I had to tell everything, how my brother threatened me, and how Igor took his first steps, and how "my brother's friends" threatened me, and of course about my pregnancy.

- If I'd known that it would be such a long story, I would have taken popcorn. Okay, I don't care about these bastards, tell me instead, how are you feeling? How is your pregnancy going?

- You know, I'm afraid to jinx it, but everything is fine. No toxicosis, tests are normal, I haven't had an ultrasound yet. Igor and I are supposed to go to the clinic in a few days.

- How did Igor react to the pregnancy? I hope he's blowing the dust off you even more? - Lera had already leaned her elbows on her legs and was holding her head like a little child listening to her mother's fairy tales.

- Don't worry, he's the happiest man in the world now, - I answered with a sad smile.

- Bah? Something's bothering you, isn't it? - Her posture only said that she was tense as never before.

- Yes, you're right. Everything is too good, everything is too quiet in our life. It seems to me that if I relax now, something will definitely happen.

- Why are you winding yourself up? You yourself have imagined that something bad will happen, you yourself are waiting for it. Of course something will happen, wait and wind yourself up. Throw all the nonsense out of your head, think about the child, about your husband, about your happy life.

Lera has never spoken to me so sternly before. But she's right, I should only think about the good now. Make plans for the future.

- Okay, friend. You're right. I should pull myself together and think only positively.

- Well, now, please excuse me, but I'm running to work. And I hope this won't happen again in the future, - laughing, Lera ran out of my office as quickly as she entered.

Two days later, Igor and I went to the clinic to see my doctor, today they will do an ultrasound and we will see our baby.

- I've never been so worried, - said Igor when I parked the car. - Will I definitely be able to go with you to the office?

- Don't worry, everything will be fine. The doctor herself suggested that I come with you, - I kissed him on the lips and opened the door.

Seeing how calmly I got out of the car, Igor followed me. Now he was walking with a cane for confidence, I don't even know whose, mine or his.

We both entered the office at once, I didn't leave him waiting in the hallway.

- Hello, Svetlana Anatolyevna. I have an appointment today for an ultrasound.

- Elena, good afternoon. I see you're with your husband today. Great, sit down. So, the tests came back normal, now we'll do the ultrasound, we'll see how we're developing, - I went to the couch, Igor sat down on a chair next to us and watched us. - This is my first pregnancy, late. But it's not scary. You understand, right?

- Of course, I don't think it's important to show age. The main thing is that the baby is healthy.

- Great, well, let's see, - she moved the device over my stomach, examined the baby, pressed buttons and was silent, which made us worry even more.

- Svetlana Anatolyevna, is something wrong? - Igor was the first to break the silence.

- No, no, everything is fine. I'm just checking if I see everything correctly.

- What is it?

- Congratulations, your first and multiple pregnancy.

There was silence, Igor and I looked at the monitor and couldn't believe what we were hearing.

- Did I understand everything correctly, we have more than one child?

- That's right, you have twins. Congratulations. The babies are developing well for this period, I'll prescribe you vitamins and come to me for another check-up in a month. If anything worries you, you have my phone number.

- Thank you very much for your congratulations. Can I ask you one more thing?

- Of course, ask.

- How about s*x? Is it safe? Lena didn't say anything, and I'm afraid of harming the children.

- There's nothing to worry about yet, but perhaps without experiments and carefully.

- I understand you, thank you again.

After leaving the clinic, we stopped near the car and enjoyed the fresh air. Igor hugged me from behind, put his palm on my stomach and I felt him calming down.

- Everything is fine, isn't it? - I covered his palm with mine.

- Yeah, I'm just happy and I'm catching this moment of unity with you, - his voice was so calm and happy that my soul felt so calm.

- I'm happy too. And I love you so much.

- I love you too.

- Let's go somewhere, take a walk. I can't stay at home anymore.

- Let's go out of town, they opened an observation deck on the cliff there.

Here it is, the life I dreamed of.
