Harper groaned and let her head drop back against the small pillow thing on the table. "I can hardly leave the house as it is now." |

"Oh honey...you're barely even pushing three months, you've still got so much to go." Doctor Kelly explained.
Meanwhile, Griff, upon seeing Harper flop her head back, tilted his head to kiss at her shoulder, uttering a quiet, almost childish, "I sorry". |

"I know." Harper sighed and glanced down at her stomach. "Worth it though. As long as they don't bed-rid me for the next... four or five months. I'm sure they will by their nine month mark." |

"Well, I hope they don't make you too miserable." Doctor Kelly smiled before stepping back to set aside the measuring tape and pulling over the ultrasound cart that'd been brought into the room before Harper's arrival. "But enough fussing, am I right? You probably want to see your little ones now." She said, holding up the doppler, to which, Griffith responded by sitting up at attention. |

"Definitely." Harper smiled, moving her head again to be able to see the screen. "Is there anything else I should be doing or starting?" |

"I know you said that being active was already starting to wear you out, but maybe consider some prenatal exercise. I know that the clinic hosts a low-impact class down at the public pool every week. Or maybe you and your boyfriend can start walking in the evenings when it's nice and cool." Doctor Kelly nodded, gesturing for Harper to pull up her shirt while she finished her preparation.
"You know, that wouldn't be a half bad idea." Griffith said, looking to Harper. "Start taking walks around the block after dinner with Flora or the boys when I'm not there, that'd be great, yeah?" |

"Yeah, it'd be good for the boys too." Harper nodded, pulling her shirt up like usual. "Instead of going straight back to video games." |

"I know, even Flora's noticed. She regrets letting Dixie have the Xbox." Griffith chuckled, running his fingers over Harper's knuckles.
Doctor Kelly got everything situated before finally turning on the screen and poising the doppler over Harper's belly. As she moved it over Harper's belly, various shapes of black and grey shifted on the screen, all of them very nondescript, until she settled on two little gangly figures fluttering about against each other.
"Welp, there you are, there are your little ones." Doctor Kelly smiled, pressing a few buttons on the keyboard with one hand while still holding the doppler in the other.
Griffith stared in absolute awe, a smile broadening on his face as he admired his little ones.
"Look at that, Harp..." |

Harper stared in adoration and awe, a wide smile across her face as well. "They look so small to be doing this much.." she laughed, happy tears wetting her eyes a little. |

Doctor Kelly moved the doppler around a few different times, getting various angles of the babies and sharing idle chit-chat with Harper and Griffith as she allowed them to look at their babies. Eventually, however, she pulled the doppler away and turned off the screen. She turned around to grab some paper towels by the sink for Harper.
"Here, you can wipe off your belly and I will go get Mommy and Daddy pictures printed of their little ones." She smiled before excusing herself.
In the meantime, Griffith continued to sit in his chair, grinning like a fool, an absolutely proud fool. He couldn't help but smile adoringly at Harper.
"Christ, Harper...you're so amazing." He said to her. |

Harper went to clean up her belly, sniffling as she laughed. "You are too, you know? They are. They definitely are." she reached up with her free hand to wipe at her eyes. |

"Oh, baby, my sweet baby bird." Griff chuckled, reaching up to wipe Harper's eyes for her before he stood up to lean over her, moving his hand to cup at her cheek as he kissed her forehead. "You're fucking amazing, you're such a good momma, Harper. Thank you for doing this for us." He crooned, kissing her again. |

Harper laughed lightly and leaned up to catch a kiss, putting her hand over his and squeezing gently. "You're such a good Daddy too, Griff." |

"Good, 'cause I'm trying really hard." Griff chuckled before placing a gentle nip at Harper's bottom lip.
After a brief schmooze session, Doctor Kelly returned, giving Harper and Griffith a yellow envelope labeled "Hunt-Fitz twins" along with the date. Griffith instantly took the envelope and dug inside to look at the pictures, as if expecting the pictures to be any different from the ultrasound.
Nope. Still amazing.
He put the pictures away and he and Harper said their brief goodbyes to Doctor Kelly before heading out.
"So...store, right?" Griffith asked, handing over the envelope whilst draping his arm around Harper's shoulders. |

"Mhmm. I've got a list of things I need to get." Harper said, putting the envelope in her bag and then grabbing her phone to look at the list. |
