Hollie-Dollie over and out.

Prologue/Introduction

I walked along the street as my darling 3 year-old twins opened the blacksmith door with silent giggles passing their lips. Tess and Erin sneaked in, their long beautiful vibrant red hair flowing behind them as they hastily made there way in, while I waited for them to go inside, rubbing the bump that had been growing for nearly two whole seasons. I picked up Tess' teddy with great difficulty, which she dropped on the floor as she entered.

I walked inside and stood in the doorway. Exchanging quick smiles with my grandfather-in-law Saibara, as I waited for the girls put their plan into action.

"Daddy." The girls sang in harmony behind my husband's back.

As I expected, Gray jumped at the sound of the unexpected singing. I simply smiled as I waited for his complete reaction.

"Erin, Tess! What are you both doing here? Where's your Mother?" Gray questioned with a chuckle.

"Right here." I giggled, stepping out from behind the wall where I remained hidden from his view.

"I didn't realise you were in town today. You didn't say anything last night." Gray grumbled cheekily with a grin.

"It slipped my mind. I promised the girls we would go out and do something. They need a change now and then from helping me with the farm work all the time. Besides, I need to pick up the sickle you were working on." I explained with a smile, kissing him on the forehead, continuing to rub my large bump, the smallest pounding aching slightly.

"Gray, you never said anything about expecting another." Saibara grumbled. "You don't trust me to let me know?"

"I tried to tell you. You left the shop when I did, so I thought you heard me. Besides, when we were expecting these two you had all of town going crazy." Gray sighed, rubbing Tess and Erin's shoulders as he spoke.

Flashback

Gray and I walked into the blacksmith, holding hands as we sniggered to each other. Saibara greeted us with a smile, so I smiled in return. He's not a bad man, even if he does bring Gray down a lot.

"You two seem to have something on your mind. What's happened?" Saibara questioned.

Gray and I gave each a look to say 'who's going to tell him?' We instantly agreed that Gray would be the one. Saibara is his direct grandfather after all.

"We received some really wonderful news this morning. We went to see Doctor Hardy in the valley because I thought Hollie was unwell. Fortunately it turns out I'm wrong." Gray blushingly began to explain. "What actually is the case is that Hollie's pregnant."

"This really is wonderful news. I have to tell everyone." Saibara bawled in laughter, exiting past us in a rage of happiness I had never seen from him before.

Leaving Gray and I alone together, I could only rest my head on his shoulder and smile. I knew he would be happy, but never thought this happy. Resting a hand on my currently flat stomach, Gray simply chuckled.

Minutes later, the entire town had somehow managed to squeeze inside the shop with their own separate comments and questions. Many were the same, like "What names do you have in mind?" I knew Saibara would be happy, but this really does mean something else.

End Flashback

"Mummy having baby!" Erin giggled, putting a hand on my stomach. A moment later she gasped and continued to giggle. I could feel what she felt. "Baby kicking Mummy!"

"I'm happy you came to visit." Gray chuckled, picking both girls with a separate arm. I was surprised he could carry both of them. They wriggle a lot.

"We haven't visited in a while. It's nice to keep in touch with family." I explained with a smile, glancing as Saibara shortly before looking back at Gray. "You see your grandfather almost everyday, but I'm in the valley with the girls all the time."

"Love Daddy and Mummy." Tess giggled, wrapping her arms around Gray's neck and smiling at me as she kept her hazel eyes gazed on me.

"I imagine the baby will be a beautiful mix of both of you like Tess and Erin." Saibara chuckled as he made his way around the counter, which he made his post for work.

I'm used to conversations about how they either look like Gray or me, but never both of us. I can see his point though. With my hazel eyes, instead of Gray's deep ocean blue ones, and Gray's red hair compared to my long brunette hair, there is a certain mix. Tess also has the traits of being taller than Erin, which she must have inherited from Gray because he is a head taller compared to me. Erin is also petite like me, but they are both slim girls. Even though they are twins, they have a few subtle differences that allows everyone to tell them apart. As well as looking different, Tess is more optimistic than Erin is, and will look at anything with a bright point of view; while Erin requires some encouragement as well as I do to see the good side of a difficult situation. Erin also learns by reading, studying, while Tess would rather be practical, and experiment to learn. It's also fair to say that my children have the distinctive learning abilities that I tend to use, because I learn by both reading and studying as well being practical.
