Paige is set in the chair next to the exam table. The three girls’ are wait for Dr. Shoepin to come into the room. Bethany is combing her baby doll hair and Alex is helping her. Paige look up at her girlfriend and can tell she is nervous about her doctor appointment.

Bethany: Momie is doll hair pretty?
Paige: Yes, her hair is very pretty. You and Alex did a great job put your dolls hair into pig tails.

Dr. Shoepin walks into the exam room carry Alex’s medical folder and looks at the three girls. He remembers Paige from when she saw his co-worker, Dr. Penbrook. He set Alex’s folder on the counter and pulls his stool over towards Alex. He takes a set and then grabs her folder off the counter. He looks at the notes the nurse wrote down on the first page of the folder.

Dr. Shoepin: Can you hand Bethany to Paige and lay back on the exam table for me, then pull up your shirt, because I am going to do an ultrasound.
Alex: Ok

Paige takes her daughter from Alex and set Bethany on her lap. Alex lays back onto the exam table and pulls her white tank top up, as Dr. Shoepin pulls the ultrasound over to the right side of the exam table and turns the ultrasounds on. Dr. Shoepin squeezes some ultrasound gel onto Alex stomach and then put the probe onto her stomach and begin the ultrasound. He moves the probe under Alex stomach until he finds a fetus. Dr. Shoepin points the fetus out to Alex and Paige. He then moves the probe around to have another look, because he wants to see if she is having twins.

Dr. Shoepin: I will write you a prescription for prenatal vitamins and try to spent less time on your feet and get more rest. Other then that you are doing fine, I am going to have a nurse come in a give you a flu shoot.
Alex: Ok.

Dr. Shoepin walks out of the exam room and puts Alex’s folder into the holder that is on the outsides of the door. Alex looks over at Bethany and Paige, she sees that Bethany is having a snack of peanut butter cookie crisp. Bethany looks up at Alex and hands her a cookie crisp.

Bethany: Here Lex have one!
