Free Web NovelChapter 84: Her first appointment
"Please lie on the bed, Miss Lyvana," the doctor said. "I’ll start the scan while we wait for the other test results."
Lyvana stood up. Julian still hadn’t arrived and she was a bit nervous.
Suddenly, her phone began to ring. She wanted to ignore it, but the screen showed her grandmother’s name.
"I’ll take this call," Lyvana said, already moving toward the door. "I’ll be right back."
"Go ahead," the doctor said, gesturing toward the door.
Lyvana stepped into the hallway and pressed the phone to her ear.
"Grandmother?"
"Lyvana," the older woman said. "Where are you?"
Lyvana looked back at the doctor’s office. "I... I’m in a meeting, Grandma."
"Ok. Come by the house tonight, will you darling? We need to talk." freēwebnovel.com
"Sure, Grandma. I’ll be there."
Hearing her grandmother’s voice always lifted her mood. She took a calm breath and walked back into the room.
The doctor was already setting up the machine. She climbed onto the bed.
As the doctor began the scan, Lyvana could only stare at the ceiling.
Just then the door opened and Julian walked in looking so perfect and powerful that Lyvana couldn’t help but smile.
The doctor on the other hand froze, looking up from the monitor in surprise.
"Julian?" she said. "What are you doing here?"
Julian stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide. "Jasmine? Since when are you back in the country?"
"I thought you were working in London," he said.
"Plans change, Julian," Jasmine replied. She turned back to the screen, trying to act professional. "What are you doing here?"
"She is carrying my baby," Julian said quietly.
Jasmine’s hand shook slightly as she held the scanner over Lyvana’s stomach. She forced a professional smile, but Lyvana caught the hurt in her eyes.
"I see," Jasmine whispered. "Well. Congratulations, Julian. I didn’t think you were the type to... settle down."
The room went very quiet as Jasmine moved the scanner. Suddenly, a fast, steady sound filled the room.
Thump-thump... thump-thump...
Lyvana’s eyes widened. "Is that... the heartbeat?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Jasmine nodded with a smile.
But suddenly her expression changed.
She moved the scanner slightly and the sound grew stronger.
Thump-thump... thump-thump...
"Wait," Jasmine said, her voice changing.
Julian’s body tensed. "What is it? Is something wrong?"
Jasmine slowly pointed at the screen.
"Nothing is wrong. But it looks like you aren’t just having one baby. There are two. You’re having twins."
Julian froze. He stared at the screen, his mouth slightly opened.
"Twins..." he repeated under his breath.
Lyvana could only stare at the screen in shock. Then she suddenly had a flashback memory from her past life.
She remembered sitting in a hospital waiting room, years ago. She had been there following her diagnosis that she was barren. She watched as a woman walked out of the doctor’s office with a huge smile and a sonogram in her hand.
That woman had been glowing with joy, telling someone on the phone that she was having twins.
Lyvana looked up at the doctor more closely now.
It was her, Lyvana realized, her heart hammering. In her past life, Jasmine was the one who was pregnant with twins.
She had the exact small, dark mole on her cheek. It was exactly where she remembered it.
Back then, she had looked at Jasmine’s mole and thought how unique and beautiful it was. Lyvana had felt a sharp pang of jealousy. She had wished, with everything she had, that she could be that happy. But in that life, Lyvana knew her body couldn’t support a child.
Now, the roles were reversed. Lyvana was the one on the bed. She was the one with two heartbeats inside her. And Jasmine was the one standing over her, looking pale and hurt.
Lyvana’s eyes went wild as the pieces clicked together. If Jasmine had twins in the past life, who was the father? Was it Julian? What did this mean?
Has her fate transferred to her?
Julian squeezed her hand lightly bringing her back to the present.
Jasmine adjusted the probe again, pointing at the screen.
"Here... and here."
Two tiny forms.
Two flickering pulses.
Lyvana stared, her chest rising and falling unevenly. For a moment, everything else faded into the background.
There was only this.
Only them.
Julian didn’t speak.
His thumb brushed slowly over the back of her hand. A quiet, unconscious motion. His eyes were fixed on the screen.
Jasmine cleared her throat, breaking the moment.
"I’ll need to run a few more checks," she said. Her voice was flat and professional again. "Twin pregnancies are high-risk. They require much closer monitoring."
She finished the scan and wiped the cool gel from Lyvana’s skin.
"I’ll print the images for you," Jasmine stepped back toward the counter. "You can sit up now."
Julian helped her sit up.
"She is six weeks pregnant," Jasmine said as she handed a folder of black-and-white scans to Julian.
Julian stared at the grainy shapes, trying to make sense of what he was seeing. At six weeks, there wasn’t much to look at — just two tiny, blurry shadows in the dark. But he held the paper like it was the most valuable thing he had ever owned.
Jasmine checked her tablet as she sat behind her desk.
"Ah, yes. The lab work is in. Your hormone levels are exactly where they should be for a twin pregnancy. Everything else is also perfectly normal."
"And her well-being? Is there anything she needs to avoid?"
"Everything is fine," Jasmine assured him. "Unless she has allergies. She also needs the standard care — prenatal vitamins, plenty of rest, and staying hydrated. She is very healthy, Julian."
Julian nodded, then gave Jasmine a quick, playful wink.
"That is good to hear. One more thing — we can still have sex, right?"
Lyvana felt her face turn red instantly. She reached out and swatted Julian’s arm, but he kept grinning.
Jasmine smiled softly. "As long as there is no pain or spotting, it is perfectly safe," she replied. "Just make sure she stays comfortable and keep her stress levels down."
As they were riding home, Lyvana asked Julian how he knew the doctor.
"We went to the same university together, a long time ago."
