Ch. 2
The Speed Of Life
The baby bump that had started out about the size of a softball was now about the size volleyball. Tony had gotten in the habit of calling her a 'melon' and Kate had gotten into the habit of hitting him every time he said that. The two had moved in together. and Abby was already making plans for the babies room. Kate was standing in the kitchen of their house. She could just see herself as a mom. Tony as a dad. and the little one. It was just so real. Tony came down stairs.
"Hey Babe." He said smiling.
"Hey Tony." She said hugging him.
"How did you sleep?" He said rubbing his eyes. Thank god it was the weekend and he didn't have to go into work.
"Good. I guess you?" She said laughing at how Tony was like a little kid in the morning.
"Horrible. Someone kept kicking me all night." He said glaring at Kate.
"Hey I can't help it. If you don't like then sleep on the couch." Kate said giving the glare was right back to him. The two burst out in giggles.
NCIS
Kate was on desk duty now. She hated it. She often took her work down to Abby's lab or Autopsy so she had someone to sit with. Tony swore it was bad for the baby to be by all the chemicals used in Abby's lab but since they had no cases lately Abby wasn't using to much of those chemicals.
"Hey Abbs. I need to talk." Kate said as she walked into the lab.
"Hey Kate. Whats up?" She asked excitedly.
"Nothing really. Other than the fact I'm pregnant with twins." Her routine ultrasound was yesterday and when she saw two little babies in there instead of one it caught her off guard.
"TWINS?" Abby basically yelled.
"Yes. I was just wondering on how would you tell someone?"
"I would just tell Tony. Just tell him how it is."
"Okay. Thanks." Kate said hugging Abby as best as she could.
HOME
"Hey Tony. I need to tell you something." She said trying to hold back tears.
"Whats wrong honey?" Tony said pulling her into a hug.
"We're pregnant with twins." She said letting the tears fall. 'Damn pregnancy hormones.' She thought.
"Twins? Really?" Tony said surprised.
"Yeah twins. Your happy right?" She said wiping away tears.
"Yeah. I'm happy. Its just surprising. Twins. Wow." Tony said pulling Kate closer to him.
She smiled up at him. He leaned down and kissed her. The twins kicked their father in complete anger of them being squished.
"Well at least that explains why you look like a melon." Tony said jokingly.
Kate didn't even bother to answer she just smacked him and went up stairs crying.
"Kate. Honey. I didn't mean anything by it. Please come out." Tony was slowly learning how to deal with a hormonal pregnant woman.
