Chapter Three

The Doctor Visit and Tests

-S-S-S-S-S-

Going to the doctor's office was always a highlight for him. He loved going. Meeting new people, seeing all the nice nurses, and of course learning new things that doctors did everyday were on his list of favorite things.

Today was no exception.

As they sat down to wait for their names to be called, the twins decided to do a small game of "I Spy". Miguel sat in one of the chairs next to them, vaguely listening to the boys giggle at the ridiculous things that they came up with. On the outside, he was reading yet another old magazine article, but inside, he was a mess. He had left Kai home to take the test while he took the boys to their yearly check-up with Dr. Strandland. Just thinking about the possibility of Kai being pregnant again made his stomach twist in knots. Not that he wouldn't mind another child, but with Kai having miscarried just two months before, it was a risky situation, both physically and mentally for the phoenix. If he had another child, would Kai be able to survive it? Would he miscarry again, or even worse this next time? Also, would he be able to handle the responsibility again? Kai was miserable for the two days after he miscarried. If it happened again, would they be able to bring the feisty phoenix back to the land of living?

There were many questions and so few answers for him to live with comfortably.

"Taiyo and Tsuki Hiwatari-Lavalier?" a nurse called, smiling a sweet smile as both boys ran up to her, Miguel right behind them. "This way."

Following her, the boys couldn't help but gawk at the other patients they passed. There was one that they took a particular interest in. A woman a little older than their daddy sat on the check-up tables in a nightgown, her husband standing beside her. What caught the twins' attentions was her belly. It was the size of a watermelon! She kept rubbing it and looking down, smiling. Why was she doing that? They'd have to ask Daddy when they could.

Entering the room, the boys made themselves comfortable on the table - with their father's help - and waved as the nurse bid them farewell. Now was their chance.

"Daddy?" both boys asked as Miguel sat down in one of the chairs.

"Yeah?" he asked, smiling at his sons. They had those questioning eyes again. He'd have to brace himself for another talk.

"Why was that lady's belly so big?" Tsuki asked while Taiyo nodded beside him.

"It was huge!" the young sun commented, throwing his arms out to his sides. "It was as big as a watermelon!"

"She kept rubbing it, too!" the moon added, nodding to his brother's explanation.

Miguel chuckled at his sons' enthusiasm. "She's pregnant," he stated simply.

"You mean, like what Papa was befores?" Tsuki asked, finger on chin in thought.

The gargoyle nodded his head. "Yes, just like Papa was before he miscarried."

"What's miscarried?" Taiyo asked, leaning further towards his father.

"Well," the Spaniard thought a minute, not knowing how to word it, "it's when a baby dies inside of its mother's stomach."

"Oh," the twins pondered on that piece of information before another question popped up. "Then how come Papa can get pregnant? He's not a mommy, he's Papa."

Miguel stopped, definitely not knowing how to answer that question. The boys were too young to understand the science behind why their other father can get pregnant.

"Well, how are we today?" Dr. Strandland's deep voice asked as he entered the room, unconsciously saving the blonde Spaniard from a world of explanations.

"Great, Dr. Strandlands!" the boys smiled brightly.

-S-S-S-

Miguel sighed as they finally reached the front door of their home. He'd been avoiding the twins' question about how Kai can get pregnant for the past half hour, and he was doing alright but home was more inviting.

Stepping through the door, he watched with soft eyes as his two healthy sons ran through the livingroom to their papa who was seated on the couch. Shutting the door and putting up his keys, Miguel made his way over to his phoenix and their sons. He frowned as he caught the spaced-out look on the young Russian's face. He looked down, catching sight of the pregnancy test on the coffee table. Reaching down, he picked it up, sharing a look with his phoenix who was busy listening to the twins' new information they learned at the doctor's office.

Turning his gaze to the test in his hands, and the box for reference, he gasped. The test showed two blue stripes.

Kai was pregnant again.

Worried sea blue eyes caught slightly excited yet scared violet orbs. Miguel smiled, not believing it. They were going to have another baby! Going over to his phoenix, he sat on the coffee table and pressed his lips to the pouty ones before him. "Looks like we're going to be fathers again," he joked, smiling broadly, causing a relieved one to form on Kai's lips.

Taiyo and Tsuki stopped their conversation when their daddy spoke those words. "Huh?" they both asked, tilting their heads to the side, a habit they picked up after their papa.

Miguel got more comfortable on the table while Kai did so on the couch. "Well, boys, Papa's pregnant again, which means that you two will be brothers in about nine months."

"We're gonna have a new brother?" Taiyo asked, violet-crimson eyes wide.

Kai nodded. "Or a sister, it just depends."

"On what?"

"Well," the phoenix chuckled, "on the baby's DNA"

"DNA?" the boys asked, their heads tilting even more. Yep, they were confused.

"How is it Papa can get pregnants?" Tsuki asked, referring to his question from earlier. "He's not a mommy."

Kai blushed a little at the question. The boys were too young to know, let alone understand. "Well, it's a long story, and you two aren't ready to hear it yet."

The twins both crossed their arms and put on defiant looks. "We ready."

Miguel laughed at his sons. "We'll tell you when you get older, alright?"

The moon and sun shared a look with each other before holding out their pinkies. "Promise?"

Kai and Miguel both smiled and connected pinkies with the boys. "Promise," they both answered.

"Now, how about some ice cream sandwiches to celebrate a good check-up score?" Kai asked.

The twins cheered and raced for the kitchen. Kai stood with Miguel and wrapped his arms around his Spaniard's waist. "I'm afraid, Miguel," the phoenix admitted. "What if it ends up like last time?"

The gargoyle smiled softly at his phoenix. "Relax. If you end up miscarrying again, we'll have your womb taken out, alright? We have to take life as it happens. If we aren't meant to have another child, then we'll accept it. We have two healthy boys now, and we can't worry ourselves sick over one we don't have."

"Whatever happens, happens, I guess."

Miguel nodded and brushed his lips against his lover's. "Whatever happens, as long as I have you and the twins, my life is complete."

Kai smiled softly at his gargoyle. "Same here," he whispered, kissing those tanned lips again.

"Papa! Daddy! Ice cream sandwiches! Aren't you coming?" Tsuki and Taiyo both called from the kitchen doorway.

Kai laughed and linked his hand in Miguel's, heading towards the kitchen and their two boys.

Highlights for Chapter Four

Due to a new machine Dr. Strandland has purchased, they are able to see what gender and how many children Kai is having. The twins, however, are more interested in the magnificent fact that babies start out tinier than a grain of sand.
