If anyone says "I see what you did there" I will lose it ;)
Chapter Four: Wasn't Expecting That
Bobbi sighed as she laid her head on Lance's shoulder while they waited for the doctor to call them in. He had one arm wrapped protectively around her waist while the other he let her play with. She was nervous and her leg was bouncing up and down.
Lance pressed his lips to her temple. He didn't offer any words because he had none. He was as nervous as she was. But he held her close, offering her his physical support.
"Barbara Morse," a nurse called.
Bobbi took a deep breath before standing up. Lance followed her, taking her hand in his, interlacing their fingers as they followed the nurse to the doctor's office.
Dr. Jean Grey looked up and smiled as Ororo led Bobbi and Lance into her office. "Good morning, Bobbi. And this must be Lance," she greeted, standing up to shake their hands as Ororo left them alone. "How are you feeling, Bobbi?"
"I've been getting sick a lot. And I'm very sensitive," Bobbi answered as she sat down on the examination table. "Lance is helpful," she added, making her boyfriend stare at her in shock as she lay down.
Jean smirked at his reaction. "Bobbi doesn't complain about you here," she informed him.
"He is a Teacup," Bobbi started, "But he is a good boyfriend so I can't really complain."
Lance made a look of mock surprise; he was surprised if he was to be honest. "You're being nice to me. Why are you being nice?"
"You knocked me up," Bobbi replied sweetly. "I need to be nice to make sure you'll be on diaper duty."
Lance looked at Jean. "I knew there was another reason for Bobbi being nice," he stated.
Jean shook her head at the young couple. "You two are impossible," she commented as she motioned for Bobbi to pull up her top.
Bobbi's stomach was beginning to show signs of curving. Lance watched with awe as Jean put gel on Bobbi's small pump before bringing the ultrasound wand down. He moved closer to the bed and watched as Jean found the baby. Babies.
Jean looked surprised. "There's two babies," she pointed out. "Baby one," she pointed at the screen to the baby on the left. "And baby two," she added as pointed to the other on the right.
Both Bobbi and Lance both looked shocked at the doctor's announcement. "Well, I wasn't expecting that," Lance eventually commented.
"Is there twins on either side of the family?" Jean asked.
Bobbi frowned at the question. "I was adopted. I don't know," she answered before looking back at her babies on the screen.
"My birth father was a twin," Lance answered. "He and my aunt, Victoria, were twins."
Jean nodded. "Twins usually do jump a generation," she stated as she moved the wand to the sides to check the babies. "They look fine at the moment. But now that you're expecting twins, we have to keep a closer eye on you, Bobbi," she stated. "Especially since you're barely eighteen; it is going to be hard on your body."
Bobbi nodded. "I'm really sensitive to touch. My breasts are sore to touch sometimes," she stated.
Jean tilted her head. "That's completely normal, particularly for your first pregnancy," the doctor stated. "Morning sickness still affecting you?" she asked as she captured pictures for the young expecting couple and printed them off.
Bobbi took the tissues Jean handed her to clean off the gel. "Yes. Particularly at certain smells," she answered as she sat up. "Lance's aftershave seems to be the only thing that doesn't seem to make me sick mostly," she added.
Lance smiled at that, standing beside Bobbi as Jean walked back over to her desk as the pictures printed. Bobbi returned his smile, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Two babies," he whispered as he pressed his lips to the top of her head. "Your mother is going to murder me," he commented lightly.
Bobbi chuckled at his words, shaking her head at her boyfriend. "I'll protect you, Teacup," she answered.
Jean smiled as she handed the pictures of the twins. "You are expecting identical twins," she informed them.
"That's going to bite me in the ass," Lance stated, looking down at the pictures in Bobbi's hands.
Jean smiled at the young couple as they gazed at the picture of the twins. "I will prescribe some herbal remedies for the morning sickness," she told them. "Try wearing Lance's clothes if they help too."
"You just gave her permission to steal my clothes," Lance stated, making a face of mock protest. "She didn't need permission, she does it anyways."
"You've never complained before," Bobbi stated, turning to look at her boyfriend.
Lance smiled. "I wasn't," he replied, hugging her close…
Bobbi and Lance arrived at the school just as Clint, Natasha and James arrived at the cafeteria alongside them.
"What happened?" Bobbi asked when she noticed the smirks.
"We locked Sharon and Steve in a room until they sort out whatever it is that made them break up," James answered.
"They broke up?" Lance and Bobbi asked at the same time. "When?"
"Last night," Natasha responded. "Steve has applied to join the army after school. He didn't tell Sharon. And now she's afraid he's going to get himself killed."
Bobbi brought her hand to her face. "Is Steve an idiot?" she asked.
"Just when it comes to girls," James stated with a shrug of his shoulders.
Lance chuckled. "Who's office did you use?" he asked.
"Phil's," Natasha and Clint answered at the same time.
"Oh, that is going to be so fun to see how Phil will react when he finds them," Lance stated.
Clint smirked. "Phil knows. He's planning on giving them an ear full," he replied.
"And I will check on them before Phil arrives. If I don't hear screaming and shouting, they're either making out or one of them has killed the other," James commented.
"More likely Sharon to kill Steve rather than Steve even thinking of hurting Sharon," Bobbi commented, making everyone look at her. "He is a gentleman when it comes to her."
"Except, you know, not telling her that he's joining the army while she is finishing high school," Clint stated. "I'm surprised Sharon didn't kill him last night."
"Oh, she might have well have done that to him last night," James stated, earning raised eyebrows. "She basically told him that if he valued being a hero more than he valued being with her, then he showed that he had lied about their whole relationship."
Natasha and Bobbi looked at each other before looking at the boys. "What else was said?"
"Steve said that she should support him and let him explain. But Sharon replied that it was better for them to go their separate ways before he became another person who hurt her and left her on the sideway," James replied. "Then she avoided all of our group until Natasha found her."
Bobbi looked at Clint when he opened his mouth. "Don't," she warned him.
Natasha and James raised an eyebrow as Lance looked sheepish.
Clint raised his arm and pointed at Lance. "He made you do the same thing. Except you didn't come to school at all," he stated.
"I've already apologised a thousand times," Lance mumbled sheepishly.
Bobbi glared at Clint. "Thanks, Arrowboy," she hissed.
Clint didn't bother to look apologetic. "I'm just pointing it out. I threatened Lance, you two made up. We," he stated, pointing his thumbs at Natasha and James, "locked Steve and Sharon in a room so they could sort out their problems."
Bobbi made to shout at him but Lance stopped her. "That is actually a fair point," he commented. "Make them face their problems rather than run from them."
Natasha looked at Bobbi before looking at Clint. "Bobbi's going to murder you, Yastreb," she commented.
James looked at Natasha. "Why are you calling Clint 'Hawk' in Russian?" he asked, making her eyes widen in surprise.
"How do you know Russian?" the red-head asked.
James shrugged his shoulders. "My dad was Russian. He and my mom never married so I took her name," he explained. "My father was killed in the line of duty for the Russian army before I was born."
"I thought your mother was Irish?" Lance asked, confused.
"She is Irish," James replied. "She has the wooden spoon and rules the neighbourhood we live in, mainly of Irish heritage with that same spoon."
Bobbi and Clint shook their heads. "How did we derail from the conversation we started on?" Bobbi asked.
"Because Natasha didn't know someone else spoke Russian apart from Fury, Hill and Mel?" Clint replied, looking at the red-head in question. "Your petname for me is the Russian for the shortened version of my nickname?"
"Don't push your luck, Barton," Natasha warned half-heartedly.
Bobbi chuckled. "He'll use his puppy dog eyes on you as well," she stated.
"You say that like he doesn't do that already," Natasha replied.
"Hawkboy is getting picked on now," James teased.
Clint glared at him. "Don't you have to go check on Steve and Sharon," he commented.
James looked at his watch. "If I'm not back for next class, tell Eva I love her," he stated before making his way back towards Phil's office.
"Steve and Sharon are going to rip him a new one," Lance commented.
"Not if they get 'caught' by Phil first," Clint stated. "Speaking of which, we have ten minutes before class. Did you two eat?" he asked Bobbi and Lance.
"We got food while we were out. Lance was chaperoning for me," Bobbi answered.
Clint raised an eyebrow but couldn't ask anything further when Natasha tugged on his hand. "Come on," she told him. "We need our books for next class."
Bobbi shot Natasha a grateful look as the red-head led Clint off to their lockers.
"Natasha knows," Lance stated. "And Clint is speculating."
"He will use you as target practice when he figures it out," Bobbi replied, turning to look at her boyfriend. "You should run now to save yourself."
Lance grabbed her hand and led her down to an empty classroom before pulling her inside. "I'm not running," he told her as he shut and locked the door behind them. "I'm in this for the long haul, Bob," he stated before kissing her deeply.
Bobbi moaned into the kiss, bringing her hands up to cup the back of his head. He lifted her up and propped her on the desk, deepening the kiss. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer.
Eventually, the pulled away, breathing heavily. "Why would you think I'd go running?" he asked, watching her carefully.
"Lance," she whispered, cupping his face between her hands. "I love you," she breathed against his lips.
"I love you too," he whispered. "I'm not leaving. Especially when we have two little ones depending on us," he added, resting his hands on her baby bump. "You're my family. All three of you."
Bobbi bit her lip before slowly nodding and letting Lance pull her into a tight hug. "I'm scared," she whispered into his shoulder.
"I'm not leaving," he replied. "I'm scared too, Bob. But I won't let you do this alone."
Bobbi closed her eyes and continued to hold Lance close, thinking about their babies and how they were going to raise them…
