Winnie had been looking forward to her day off for a week; she had felt tired and moody and had to restrain herself from snapping at anyone who (in her opinion) asked stupid questions. Spike was working the afternoon shift and after a year of dating and being married for eight months Winnie didn't know if she was imagining the look of relief on Spike's face as he went out the door, although if she hadn't imagined it Winnie couldn't really blame Spike as he had had to suffer the brunt of her recent bad mood.

After Spike had left Winnie called her sister-in-law (her brother's wife). Winnie had told Sally about her change in mood lately and how she tended to pee more. Sally's reply freaked Winnie out.

"Maybe you should get a pregnancy test"

"What?!"

"Well before I found out I was pregnant with Timmy I was feeling the same as you and your mom suggested I get a test. And what do you know I was pregnant."

"So you think I'm pregnant?"

"Well I could be wrong, but better to find out now just in case you are"

"I guess" replied Winnie, biting on her bottom lip in worry; she couldn't be pregnant could she? Even though she and Spike had been married for eight months they had never even talked about having a baby.

"Want me to come over?" asked Sally knowing exactly how Winnie was feeling.

"No I'll be ok, I'll get a test at the pharmacy a couple blocks away and come home and-"

"Winnie you're rambling" stated Sally; she knew this was what Winnie did when she was worried.

"Sally"

"Yeah?"

"If I am pregnant is it bad that I'm scared?"

"No Winnie" comforted Sally, "I felt the same when I found out about Timmy and I'll tell you what"

"What?"

"I felt the same two years later when I found out I was expecting Joe and three years after that when I was expecting Olivia"

"But you had already had Timmy!"

"I know, but Winnie mothers always worry and get scared even if it is their first baby or their seventh"

Winnie laughed "didn't know that was what you were aiming for"

"Very funny. No I think three is my lot"

"Ok I gotta go and get a test; I'll call you later with the results"

"Ok speak to you later Winnie, oh and if I were you get one of those fancy tests which tell you how far along you are"

"Right, ok. Bye".

So here was Winnie five hours later (she took a while to build up the courage to pee on the stick) sat on the edge of the bath looking at the little stick which could change her life forever, while she was lost in her thoughts she didn't see what the result came up as. Two minutes later she looked down to see positive, 4 – 5 weeks. Winnie gasped in shock and dropped the test. Subconsciously she placed a hand over her belly; she had no idea how she was supposed to tell Spike. I'll just come out and say it she decided.

Two hours later and Spike had come home right on time announcing "I'm home!"

"In the living room!" replied Winnie, she took a deep breathe when he sits down just tell him.

"How was your afternoon?" asked Spike as he sat down next to Winnie,

"It was fine, how was yours?" replied Winnie trying to keep her voice normal.

"Uneventful, spent the time fixing up Babycakes"

"Uh Spike" began Winnie,

"Yeah?"

"I need to tell you something"

"Ok"

"Um...er..."

Spike sat up and turned Winnie to face him concern written all over his face, "What's wrong?"

"Well nothing's wrong as such, it's just...we're having a baby" smiled Winnie.

The concern disappeared from Spike's face to be replaced with happiness and excitement. "We are?!"

Winnie nodded; Spike hugged her tight and said "this is the best news ever! When did you find out?"

"This afternoon"

Spike stood up and did a funny dance in the middle of the room "we're having a baby!" he exclaimed, Winnie laughed from where she was sitting. She felt it was about time Spike got to be a father, after seeing him with the young children of Team One and with his and hers nephews and nieces.

Spike came to sit down next to her again, "so do you know how far along you are?"

"The test said four to five weeks"

Spike smiled and pulled Winnie so she was leaning against him, he wrapped his arms around her. They both held their hands over her belly, and both wearing huge smiles. When Winnie started giggling.

"What?" asked Spike looking down at Winnie.

"It's just that we never talked about having a baby and now we're having one"

"Well both like surprises and I think this is the best of them all"

"I fully agree" said Winnie as she angled her head so she was looking up at Spike and then she turned the T.V on and Spike kissed the top of her head.

Winnie was now seven weeks pregnant and the only person she and Spike had told was Sally as they wanted to wait until after the ultrasound next week as there was still a risk Winnie could miscarry.

Their alarm had just gone off and as Winnie began to wake up she felt her stomach turning and dashed to the bathroom and bent down in front of the toilet. She heard footsteps behind her and then felt gentle hands rubbing up and down her back.

"I hate morning sickness" Winnie grumbled.

"I'll bet" murmured Spike as he continued to rub Winnie's back until they were both certain it was over.

Spike held back Winnie's hair as she rinsed her mouth. She turned to face him and smiled "thanks"

He shrugged his shoulders "figured it was the least I could do for you".

"I really want to kiss you right now, but seeing as I've only just thrown up I don't think that would be a good idea"

"You've rinsed your mouth" and before Winnie could say anything Spike placed a gentle kiss on her lips. He then took her hand and together they walked downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast, Winnie was seriously missing her morning coffee but she knew caffeine was bad while she was pregnant. She had taken to having blackberry juice but instead of using cold water she used hot water so for the cold months she could have the same warmth of coffee but without the bad effects it would bring. Then she noticed Spike making two hot blackberry juices.

"Where's your coffee?" asked Winnie, she knew Spike loved his morning coffee as much as she did.

"Well I thought as you have to give up coffee I will as well"

"Have I told you how much I love you?" smiled Winnie as Spike handed her drink to her.

"Once or twice" smirked Spike as he sat at the table opposite her as he munched on his toast and she ate her cereal.

"Well I love you very much" she smiled,

"That's three times"

"Very funny" laughed Winnie.

"I thought so" smirked Spike.

"If this baby turns out like you I have no idea what I am going to do!"

"You'll love us both" stated Spike,

"Yes I suppose I will" smiled Winnie.

Winnie was sat on an uncomfortable examining table with Spike sat holding her hand as a nurse was prepping her for the ultrasound.

"Right here we are" said the nurse, Winnie and Spike looked at the screen and then heard a gentle thumping sound.

"And that is the heartbeat of your babies"

"Wait, what?!" exclaimed Winnie and Spike.

The nurse smiled "you're having twins", the nurse then went to get the photo of the ultrasound and Spike turned to Winnie "twins" he muttered still in a state of shock,

"Well we'd better get two of everything we need" said Winnie.

"But twins!"

"Spike there's nothing we can do about it now"

Spike looked at her and pulled her close and asked "can you tell my mom when we tell her?"

"Why?" laughed Winnie,

"Because she'll get all excited and yell at me through the phone"

"Alright only if you tell my mom"

"Deal" replied Spike smiling. "This should be fun" he added,

"I think so" replied Winnie as she rested her head on Spike's shoulder.

A/N I have never had a baby so I've researched this on the internet so sorry if some bits are wrong but I have also asked my sister what she went through when she was pregnant and my made up character of Sally is based on my sister, thanks for helping me with this and being such a great big sister to me Sal!
