An ultrasound student who offered to scan her sister while she was in school got a huge surprise when she discovered her sibling was actually pregnant. Unsuspecting Rachel Rodriguez, a student at San Joaquin Valley College, in Bakersfield, California, had no reason to suspect sister Crystal Vang was pregnant, as her sibling had asked her to perform a scan for a completely different reason. Crystal had explained to her sister she'd been experiencing painful menstrual cycles, and so Rachel offered to check her out to rule out the likes of cysts or fibroids. Secretly, though, Crystal had a big surprise waiting for Rachel, as a few weeks before she was due to be scanned, a pregnancy test revealed she was set to have a baby. Having sat down in the room with her sibling, Crystal went through the motions, explaining to her sister what her pains had involved, before opting for a simple abdominal scan. With a family member secretly recording – and college staff working on the other side of the curtain – Crystal watched on as Rachel scanned her belly. Then, when the moment of realization hit, Rachel could not help by smile, looking closer and closer at the screen to make sure what she was seeing was her new niece or nephew. When Crystal confirmed that she was pregnant, the pair then burst into hysterical laughter.

00:00This health scan turned into some unexpected news.
00:04It looks like she got pregnant.
00:08Crystal found out she was pregnant at the perfect time,
00:11when her sister Rachel was in sonography school.
00:14At the time, I was considering just doing a basic onesie and putting it in a bag for them,
00:20because I have another sister too who just announced my pregnancy.
00:23But I was like, you know what? She can actually scan me during school or in her classroom.
00:29And I was like, that might be a good idea, because I've never heard of that being done before.
00:33So I had to ask my teacher like, hey, you know, my sister's coming.
00:37She's having some problems with her menstrual cycle.
00:42You know, can she come in and I can just do a practice scan on her?
00:45And when she started the scan, she started thinking to herself.
00:49Oh, my gosh, that's her freaking fetus, a yolk sac.
00:52She's totally pregnant. Like, how am I going to tell her?
00:55Crystal, it looks like you have a baby girl.
01:01I was scared. I was like, does she even know she's pregnant?
01:04How am I going to tell her? Like, I don't even know.
01:07What?
01:09The blood check.
01:12Oh, my God.
01:16As an ultrasound tech, you're supposed to put on a really good poker face, you know,
01:22because you don't want the patient to, you know, to read it in your face
01:25if you're finding out some good news or bad news.
01:30Where?
01:32Right there.
01:34What was that?
01:36Don't look at me. I need to see what I think I'm seeing.
01:43During that scan, I think you can tell that my poker face was not in game at all.
01:48I was freaking out and excited at the same time.
01:52Did you tell her anything?
01:54Surprise, I'm pregnant.
01:56Liar.
01:58Are you?
02:00Oh, my God.
02:07I was like, wait a minute.
02:09I was like, I think this is what I'm seeing.
02:15I was like, oh, my gosh, this is like the best surprise of my whole life.
02:20I was like, dang, this is crazy.
02:22I just couldn't believe it.
02:24It was like, it was like one of the best surprises.
02:27Like, nothing can top it.
02:29Like, even my husband's proposal, nothing tops it.
02:32Like, just the way she's planning, planning everything.
02:34It was just like, perfect.
02:36I wanted to surprise you.
02:38Oh, you did?
02:40What I really wanted to say during that time that she was scanning was, I got you.
02:46And now that I got her, like, she's been the greatest aunt and biggest sister ever.
02:51And Rachel loves finally being Aunt Rachel to baby Beau.
02:56It's just something that you imagined and dreamed of, but seeing it in reality just hits different.
03:04Oh, my gosh.
03:06Okay, space doll, what do you see now?
