Chapter 112 - Little Shrimps

Jasmine

"Look at the screen." She told me. I saw a lot of  grey and in the middle there was a black hole with two grey things in there. It kind of looked like shrimps.

"Is that good?" I frowned unsure. I looked at Benjamin, but he seemed to be frozen. "Ben." I called him.  "Twins." He said in a robotic voice. He seemed to be in a trancelike state.

I looked at the screen again. My eyes grew big. "Those are babies?" I pointed at the two shrimps. The woman chuckled. "Yes." She said almost in a nice tone.

"Are they healthy?" Benjamin gulped. Jade smiled at Benjamin. "Do you see those two little flickering lights." She said pointing at both of the shrimps.

"Mhhh." Benjamin mused. "Those are their strongly beating little hearts." She smiled.  "You are going to be a father Benjamin El-Raji Al-Saud. Who ever thought you would be settling down." She chuckled.

I was starting to get angry. But then I looked at the screen again and I mellowed down. "Two babies." I said thinking out loud. She made little lines on them and said they were about eight to nine weeks old.

She explained that she wanted to do a grow ultrasound in two weeks and then she would determine the due date. She printed pictures for me and told me I could get dressed.

Benjamin animatedly  spoke to Jade and didn't pay any attention to me at all.

After I was dressed again, Jack came back into the room. Jade filled him in he congratulated us. He gave me a hug. I felt a little social awkward.

"Well mom and dad… We will see you in two weeks then?" Jack asked us. "Can you maybe recommend a good doctor in Boston?" I asked.

"Boston?" Benjamin frowned. "Ah, the two of you live in your penthouse?" Jack asked. Benjamin gave me a strange look.

"A recommendation is not necessity Jack." Benjamin said intently looking at me. "We have the finest doctors in the palace, where we live." Benjamin said meaningfully and shot me a warning look.

"Ah.. your grandfather finally brainwashed you enough." He laughed. "Yeah well… I accepted the crown, there comes string with it as well." Benjamin smirked.

"You are a king?" Jade said in a shaky voice. "Oh I am sorry." He chuckled. "That is right…" He said cheesy. "I never really told you that I was a prince right?!" He said as he used my favorite crooked smile on her.

If my eyes could burn both of them, I would do that right now. "Benjamin, dear." I said possessively. He looked at me, in a way that he was letting me know that he knew what I was doing. "Yes love." He said exaggeratingly, and I knew he was just mocking me.

"We are going to be a mom and dad." I said as I walked up to him and grabbed the material of his blouse. His lips twitched and I saw that he was fighting back a huge laugh.  He was having fun with this.  Benjamin placed his hand on the small of my back and kissed me with intensity.

Then he brought his lips to my ears. "Jealous much?" He breathed and then quietly chuckled.

"Thank you so much for making the time to see us today, Jack." Benjamin said offering his right hand, while his left hand was still on the small of my back.

"Jade." He said and she walked up to him and had the audacity to kiss his cheeks. "If anything, you know where to find me." She said under her breath. I looked at him, but he did not look back.

"Jasmine." She said with a fake smile.

We walked out of the practice and our driver was waiting. We got into the limo and I started to tap my feet again.

"Twins." He smiled at me. "Yes." I said as I held my belly protectively. I carried his twins. My husbands twins. He was mine.

I couldn't help myself. "Who is she." I said sharply.

Benjamin turned to look at me and raised one eyebrow. "Does that matter?" He plainly said. "Yes." I breathed. "We were in this together you just said. Or did you not mean that?" I said starting a fight.

"I honestly fail to see what your pregnancy has to do with anything." He muttered. "What?!" I said shouting.

"So now it is just my pregnancy? These are YOUR babies!" I yelled at him.

He smiled at me. "Yes they are." He mused gazing at my stomach.

"So you think it is normal to sleep around and you think I should accept that." I said raising my voice even louder.

Benjamin burst out in laughter. "We are not going to start that nonsense again, are we?!" He chuckled.

He licked his lips and looked at me. I started to cry. I couldn't stop myself, it was like a floodgate opened. I crossed my arms in anger.

"We should get some lunch." He said. The driver looked into the mirror. "11 Madison Ave." Benjamin said to the driver. The driver nodded in the review mirror. 

"I don't want to eat with you." I complained. "Very well." He said. "Then I will drop you off to eat and pick you up when you are done." He said indifferent.

"You go eat, and I'll go back to Boston." I cried. "Jasmine." He said and took my face in his hands. "Listen to me." He said and his eyes were warning me. "You will take the tests this week and then we will fly home." He said bossy.

I wanted to say something, but he raised his finger for me to be quiet. "You can finish your study at Harvard from home. All classes can be followed online." He said. I wanted to intervene again. "And if you insist on going back to Boston, because you hate the idea of being with me, then you can do that when the twins are at least one years old." He told me

"They need you for the milk." He clarified. "After that, you are free to go." He said and let go of me.

"Wait what?!" I said as my eyes spat fire. "You want me to leave my children?" I gasped. Was he serious? "No, you are taking things out of context. I said if-" He said holding my gaze.

"You want to leave me, and live your life separate of mine, than you can go." He said as if that was a better answer. "Without my children?" I said again. "Well yes… "

"They will stay in the palace. " He shrugged.  "You are unbelievable." I muttered. We parked in front of a restaurant.. "Do you want to have lunch together?" He asked in a calm voice.
