Grazziena did not know but every time she looks at Draeko she got irritated and Draeko noticed it.
“Sweet, you seemed to be always getting irritated with me. Did I do something wrong?” he asked with a worried expression. He does not want Grazziena to get angry, especially since she is in her early stage of pregnancy. He does not want her to be stressed.
Grazziena frowned when he heard what he said. “Nothing. I don’t know. I just easily got irritated whenever I see your face,” she said while looking at him, still with a frown.
Draeko’s forehead furrowed while looking at her wife then suddenly burst into laughter after realizing what is happening.
“Sweety, I am sure, our child will gonna look exactly like me,” he said grinning at her.
She became even more irritated. “No way, she will look like me.”
Draeko hugged his wife laughing. “What if our baby is not a girl but a boy? It is better if he will look like me,” he said insisting, amused on how she concluded that their child would be a girl.
She just gave him a sullen look that made him laughed again. He wrapped her with his embrace and pacified her by caressing her hair. “I love you, Sweety,” he murmured and kissed her.
“I love you too Draeko, but I am getting pissed off these past few days every time I see your face,” she murmured back that made Draeko, laughed out loud. He can conclude that his wife is getting pissed off of him as part of her early pregnancy stage.
In the next few months of Grazziena's pregnancy, she was still doing fine. She could still work and easily cope up. However, when she was in her 6th month of pregnancy they noticed that her tummy got bigger than the usual, six-month pregnancy stage.
Somewhat worried, Draeko suggested for Grazziena to ask her OB-Gyne about it. As usual, he was with her when she visited the doctor.
Grazziena’s OB Gyne was already waiting for them in her clinic. She was her OB Gyne’s first scheduled patient for the day.
“I suggest for your to have an ultrasound, Mrs. Villadela. I know you wanted everything to be a surprise until she gives birth, but in this case that I could sense a bit of abnormality, we need to know the reason and possible cure before it is too late,” the OB-Gyne said after checking the stomach of Grazziena.
Draeko and Grazziena looked at each other and it was Draeko who finally decided.
“Let us do it then Doc, today,” he said while nodding to Grazziena’s OB-Gyne.” And, Sweety we have to do away with the surprising thing to be sure that both of you and our baby, will gonna be safe,” he added.
Grazziena nodded and look at her OB-Gyne. “I agree with my husband Doc. Let us do it today then.”
The OB-Gyne smilingly nodded.

Draeko was watching as the Doctor performs the 3D ultrasound to Grazziena. The Doctor put enough cream on Grazziena’s tummy and then started to move the transducer into her tummy. At first, the images that they could see at the sonogram monitor was blurry until it got clearer and clearer.
Draeko was feelings ecstatic seeing a human small form inside Grazziena’s tummy as can be seen in the sonogram monitor.
The Doctor continued to roll the transducer until it captured something that made her stopped. The Doctor suddenly furrowed and looked at Draeko and Grazziena.
“What it is Doctor? Something wrong?” Draeko asked, worriedly while holding the hand of his wife.
Grazziena also looked at her OB-Gyne with much anticipation. What if there is something wrong with her baby or her pregnancy as a whole? How will she take it? She does not want her baby to be at risk.
“Doctor, something wrong?” Grazziena reiterated her question a minute ago.
The Doctor shook her head and smiled. “There is nothing wrong, Mr. And Mrs. Villadela. This is actually good news.”
Wondering Draeko and Grazziena looked at each other then asked the Doctor almost at the same time. “What’s the good news?”
The Doctor moved the transducer again slowly and then pointed to the figure that came out in the monitor. “Look at that, Mr. And Mrs. Villadela.” she said smiling.
Draeko and Grazziena both focused their eyes on the sonogram monitor.
Then she moved the transducer on the other side of Grazziena’s stomach then pointed to the figure that came out also in the monitor. “Look at that also,” The Doctor said again.
“Draeko’s eyes grew big while Grazziena was looking so intently on the sonogram monitor.
“Doctor, there is one baby form on the one side and then another one on the other side of my wife’s stomach; was that what you want to pinpoint to us?” Draeko said, exclaiming.
“Yes, Mr. Villadella. You do not only have one baby but two. You are having a twin baby.”
