The pack is piled in the Old Hale House when Nathan and Lycea finally get there. They're only there for a few minutes before Wyatt Whittemore crosses his arms and turns a stink eye toward the couple.
"Well, we already know you got her pregnant. Why'd we have to come here again?"
Nathan always liked Luke better.
Logan smacks Wyatt in the head. "You get free pizza out of it. At least try to pretend you're interested."
"Just because you're my brother-in-law now doesn't mean I have to listen to you."
Logan looks at Nathan and rolls his eyes. "So, bro. What's the news?"
Lycea speaks first. "We had a doctor's appointment today," she says smiling.
Laura sits up a little straighter. "It's too early to know if it's a boy or a girl, isn't it?"
Lycea laughs. "Yeah, a bit too early for that." She turns to her husband. "Nate, go on."
Nathan blushes. "Dad. Dad. Everyone… We're having twins."
The whole room cheers and hugs are distributed all around.
"I'm so happy for the both of you," Stiles says as he finishes hugging his daughter-in-law. "But, I can tell you from experience, carrying two babies is a lot harder than carrying one."
"I don't doubt it." Lycea laughs. "It makes me thankful I'm only having one."
The entire room furrows their brows in unison. "What?" Derek asks.
Lycea points to her stomach. "There's only one in there."
Stiles backs away from her. "What do you mean?" He looks at Derek and then back to Nathan and his wife. "I'm so confused. You just said that you were having two and then…"
Lycea laughs. She unzips her jacket to reveal her shirt. It says, "Mom to baby one."
The whole pack is staring at her like she's crazy when they hear another jacket unzipping. "Mom to baby two" is printed across Nathan's shirt.
Stiles' eyes open comically wide. "Nathan?"
Nathan blushes a little bit. "Surprise." The crowd is speechless. "It's a long story involving me being incredibly stupid and selfish a couple years ago, wanting to have a family now, and Yiayia, of course."
"Of course," Derek says sarcastically. His tone is deep and guarded, "and you're… You're happy this time?"
Tears come to Nathan's eyes. "Ecstatic."
Stiles finally snaps out of his shock. "Oh, Nathan." They hug. "Oh my gosh. I'm so happy for you! At Thanksgiving, we talked, but I didn't expect…"
"Dad, you better tell me everything."
"Oh, trust me. I will." He pulls away from Nathan but keeps his hands on his son's shoulders. He turns to look at his husband. "Derek, where's the book?"
When Lycea wakes up one morning and realizes her pants don't fit, she cries. Nathan realizes the same thing about his pants, jumps up and down, and squeals.
When Lycea complains about her tender chest, she whines. Nathan proceeds to chest bump his brother.
When Lycea starts craving jelly donuts with tuna and hot sauce, Nathan decides he better find a good spot to hide his own stash.
When Nathan starts complaining about his ankles swelling, Lycea makes him sit down so she can massage them. They're not even that bad- men are babies. Men who are having a baby are even bigger babies.
When Nathan realizes he can no longer bend over, he growls at his wife. She's figured out how to grab stuff with her toes and pick things up that way. Try as he might, he can't do it. Logan took a picture of him trying once- he had to buy a new camera.
When they both realize that they can no longer cuddle together in bed because their stomachs are in the way, they make grabby hands at each other and pout the whole night. They finally devise a way to curl around each other, kinda like the yin-yang symbol, and they are able to sleep again.
When the babies start to kick, they place one hand on their own stomach and the other hand on each other's so they can both feel both babies at the same time.
When everyone in the pack BEGS them to find out the sex of the babies, they refuse, because they want it to be a surprise.
When they are finally allowed to see the nursery, they both cry. And, they both blame it on the hormones.
