A note: Mai and Naru don't live together. Their romantic relationship has just begun. Naru only went to Mai's apartment because it was closer to the hospital than his house or the office.
Enjoy.
Twins... They were unexpected. But Naru will make sure that they will be wanted and loved. But Naru had pictured that he and Mai would have children when they were older. But the twins are here now and that was fine with him.
And it was fine with Mai as well... Over the next few days Mai got stronger, though she hasn't gotten her memories back yet. She has moved out of the ICU and in to a normal room. One day Naru went to see her and he heard her talk to her belly. It was a sign that she wanted the twins as well. But they need to make the decision together.
"Mai." Naru said as he entered her room. Mai smiled up at him in greeting. "Hello." She said. "Mai we need to talk about the twins... What are we going to do? I mean we are too young to have children..."
Mai nodded, "I know. But I want them..." Naru nodded. "I want them as well. But can we raise them at our age?"
"I want to try." Mai said. "I want to try as well. I can't bare to think about someone else raising our children." Naru admitted. "Neither can I."
"That's settled then, we are keeping the babies. Now to tell my parents..." Naru shivered in the thought of what his parents would say. "Can you not tell them yet, giving that I hardly remember you. When I got pregnant...?"
Naru nodded in understanding. "I won't." Just then the doctor came in. "I'm sorry for bothering you but I have some good news. Taniyama-san, you can go home in a few days." The doctor said. "Thank you doctor." Mai said with a smile. "I will be back with the ultra sound so you can see your twins for the first time." This time both and Mai and smiled at the doctor.
A few minutes later the doctor came back with the machine. "Okay, can you lift your shirt up so I can put this cream on you?" The doctor asked. Mai lifted her shirt to reveal her belly.
Mai gasped when the cream landed on her belly. "It's cold." She said, laughing. The doctor searched for the twins. "Ah there they are. Hear their heart beats?"
They did hear it. "And is a head and another head. Would you like to know the genders?" The doctor asked. Mai and Naru smiled at him and Mai said, "We already know. A girl and a boy."
The doctor was speechless. "My girlfriend has ESP." Naru explained. "Ah, that explains it. That will help her gain her memories." The doctor sounds like he knows about ESP. The doctor noticed the look on Naru's face. "I had experience with the ability. Can't say it was pleasant. Don't want to deal with it again."
"Well Doctor, there different types of ESP. And it's not the ability itself but the person who has ESP. Some people can't even control it."
"I don't have a problem with the people who have the ability, I'm just scared of the ability." The doctor sounded like he didn't want to talk about it.
"Okay, I'll print out a picture for you."
A few hours later Naru left to let Mai rest from all of the excitement. Naru went back to his apartment and just stared at the picture of his children. Mai has been in the hospital for a month so she one month in to her pregnancy. Well that's what the doctor said.
Lin came home and found Naru sitting on the lounge. "How is Mai?" Lin asked as he sat down next to Mai and saw the picture of the twins. "Mai can leave the hospital in a few days. She is getting a lot better physically, but she still doesn't remember me. She doesn't remember when our babies were conceived. But all that doesn't matter at the moment. She is getting better." Naru said.
"May I see?" Lin asked. Naru handed him the picture. "They are real aren't they?" Naru asked his best friend. Lin smiled at him. "They are real. They are there clear as day." Lin noticed the look on Naru's face.
"I'm going to be a father. I'm going to be a father. Mai and I are going to be parents." Naru said in gasps. He finally realised the he was going to be a father. "I was like this when Madoka told me that she was pregnant. But when Isaac arrived I was over the moon. It really didn't kick in until I was holding him for the first time."
"Do you get over it?" Naru couldn't help but ask. Lin shook his head. "No." He said simply. "I take it that you are keeping the babies." Lin stated. "Yes. We want them. I was wondering if you would be their godfather."
Lin smiled again and nodded. "I'd be honoured to be their godfather. Who is going to be their godmother?"
"I'm going to leave that to Mai. When she gains her memory back." Naru said. "I think that Ayako-san should be godmother because she can provide for the children and she is a doctor." Lin suggested. Naru nodded. "I was thinking that."
Three days later Naru picked Mai up from the hospital and took her home. She couldn't find where things were. And that made her frustrated with herself. "Mai, the doctor said to stay calm for the babies." Naru said and Mai nodded.
"Will you stay with me?" Mai asked. Mai was surprised by how much she needs this man even though she can't remember him. "I'll never leave you or our children." Naru replied as he led her to the lounge room and on to a lounge chair. "I'll get you a drink and something to eat."
Naru got her a glass of orange juice and a sandwich then made himself a cup of tea. After she finished her lunch she fell asleep and Naru turned on the news. He pulled Mai in to his embrace and pressed his lips in to her hair and whispered, "I love you." And he rested his hands on her stomach.
Lin went up the stairs of Mai's apartment building. He knocked on her door and Naru answered it. "How is she?" Lin asked as Naru gave him a mug full of hot coffee.
"She got frustrated when she couldn't find anything and it's her first day back home." Naru sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "I can stay in the spare room with Isaac. Madoka had a high school reunion so it's just me and Isaac for the weekend. Madoka is also catching up with some friends."
"Thank you. That will help." Naru sighed in relief. Naru had never said it but he is grateful to have a good friend like Lin.
Lin went home to pack a few hours later. "Isaac and I are going to stay with Mai and Naru for the weekend." Lin said to Madoka when he got home. "Good idea. Well I better go. Give Mai my love." Madoka gave Lin a kiss and then hugged Isaac and kissed him on the cheek.
When she was gone Lin went in Isaac's room he pack a few nappies, shirts, and pants, a bottle and some toys. Then went back in to the lounge room where Isaac was playing. "Okay come on buddy, we are going to Mai's house."
"Ma?" Isaac asked looking up at his father. When Isaac says Ma he means Mai. "Yes, come on buddy." Lin picked Isaac up and locked the door behind him.
They arrived at the apartment and Isaac looked for Mai. When he couldn't find her he went to Naru and asked, "Ma?" "She is asleep right now, bud. Do you want to go and have a nap with her?" Naru replied. Isaac nodded and went in to the bedroom.
Naru watched Isaac climb on to the bed and crawled slowly up to Mai and curled up in to her side and instantly fell asleep. Naru pictured his son curled up next to his mother like that. And that made Naru smile for the first time in a long time.
