THE CALL.

http://writetribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/file000884219889.jpg 

"Bye baby. Call me if you need me. Will be with you in a jiffy," said Sam as he kisses Linda.

"Jiffy? Like in 2 hours. I would have delivered the baby by then," says Linda playfully. "Don't worry Sam, you know I am not due for another month. So, don't stress. I am going out for lunch with Shiela. Will be out most of the day and she is there if the need arises. Run along now." 

It is almost 4 in the evening when Sam receives a call. 

"Sam, this is Sheila. Linda's water broke. We rushed her to the hospital, how soon can you be here?"

"Oh shit! I had some nagging feeling all through the day. I am leaving now."

"Wait! Sam, the doctor is here. She wants to talk to you."

"Congratulations Sam. It is a boy."

Sam is laughing with relief when the doctor continues..."Hey Sam...it is a girl too. You have twins! Linda wanted to surprise you."
