"Maka?" Soul woke up in his bed alone again. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Maka, are you out there?"

"Yeah Soul, I'm out here," Maka said in a shaky voice.

"Are you okay?"

Soul walked into the living room, where Maka was sitting on the ground petting her stomach.

"Are you okay?" He asked again, kneeling down to her level.

Maka stayed silent.

"Maka?"

"I don't know."

"Do you think something's wrong with the baby?"

"I don't know," she cried.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked trying to calm her.

Tears ran down Maka's cheeks. "I'm scared."

"Why? There's nothing to be scared about, everything's fine."

"The first time I knew I was pregnant I saw such a small soul, it was like a blueberry, but now-"

"You can't see a soul, can you?" He asked, trying as hard as he could not to cry.

"That's the thing," Maka said grabbing Soul's hand and placing it on her stomach, "I see two."

"What?"

"Yeah, and I felt something move earlier."

"Wow."

Maka smiled, but she still felt very worried. Soul's hand was still on her stomach when he felt a small hit against his palm. He quickly pulled his hand away in shock.

"Was that?"

Maka nodded her head.

"We should go see Stein." Maka nodded again. "Do you want to call anyone?"

"No. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up."

"Hey," Soul said wrapping his arms around Maka's. "Everything's going to be okay."

"How do you know?" She cried.

Maka continued to pet her now noticeable pregnant belly. Soul was pretty confident that nothing was wrong, but he couldn't get the bad feeling in the pit of his stomach to go away.

Maka was laid out on Stein's "doctor table" with Soul beside her and her stomach exposed. Stein came back into the room with a sonogram machine rolling beside him.

"What's that?" Soul asked clenching Maka's hand in his.

"It's what's going to help us see what's going on," Stein stated.

"Oh."

Stein got the machine hooked up and was ready to put the cold, blue jelly on Maka's stomach. He finally squeezed the gel on, making Maka jump.

"You could warn a girl before you put her on ice!" Maka snapped.

"Keep still."

The next moment a black and white image popped up on the screen.

"Everything looks good," Stein said as he looked at the screen. "See here," Stein pointed to a head shaped feature on the screen, "the head is shaping, you can see the nose there and the stomach there." He continued to say as he pointed to each feature.

Maka and Soul were smiling at each other and then at the screen, but then Maka noticed something strange.

"If that," Maka pointed to the nose, "is the baby then what is that?" Maka pointed to another thing that looked like a small nose next to the other one.

"That's weird."

"What is it?" Soul asked.

"Well, turns out you're having twins." Stein said it like it wasn't news to him and printed out a picture for them.

"Wait a minute, twins?" Maka said.

"As in two babies?" Soul asked, holding up his fingers.

"You heard me," Stein handed Soul the sonogram picture and shut off the machine. Before leaving he told them one more thing.

Maka and Soul finally got back to their apartment with a McDonald's bag in hand. Maka threw the bag into the kitchen hoping it would land in the trash can, but she missed.

"Ooh, she shoots, she misses." Soul laughed.

Maka nudged him in the side. "Shut up."

"What's up with you? You've been weird since we left Stein's."

"Why shouldn't I be?"

"Why should you be?"

"I don't know, maybe because I just found out that were not only having a baby, we're having two babies!"

"Whoa, Maka, don't panic! It'll be fine!" Soul said, soothing her with his voice as he held his hands out to her.

Maka started breathing heavily in and out non-stop. "I can't can't," she said in between breaths.

Soul grabbed her arms and shook her lightly. "Maka, just breathe." Soul inhaled and exhaled with her. "Breathe."

Maka inhaled, and exhaled on command, it eventually calmed her.

"Maka, if you think about it this was perfect timing."

"How so?" Maka asked still regaining her breath.

"Instead of telling everyone what the sexes are right now, we can wait until next week, you know, Christmas. It'll be our Christmas present to everyone."

"That's a great idea!"

Maka wrapped her arms around Soul's waist, giving him the impression that they were going to hug or make out or something, but she dug in his back pocket instead.

"Maka, what're you doing?"

Maka didn't say anything, but she continued to grab something and move towards the kitchen with it.

"Maka, what did you take?"

Maka still didn't speak as she walked to the refrigerator and grabbed the closest magnet. Soul followed her.

"That's where it went," Soul said as he looked at the picture Maka held in her hand. "I forgot I put it there."

"We're lucky you didn't wrinkle it." Maka placed the picture on the top of the fridge so they could see it everyday, and then placed a cute pink cat magnet on top.

"Now it's officially official."

"Officially official? You're the mushroom brain and I even know that isn't proper grammar."

"Did you figure out what's been going on with the baby?" Tsubaki asked.

"Yes, did everything turn out alright?" Kid asked.
Spirit's eyes started to glow. "Did you figure out if it was a boy or a cute little girl like her mommy?!"

"Actually-" Soul started.

"We have something to tell all of you," Maka finished.

"What? What? Tell us!" Liz demanded.

"Pink!" Patti screamed.

"I have surpassed God already, now obey your God and tell us!"

Maka and Soul looked each other in the eyes and smiled.

"We're having twins," Soul finally said.

"Oh. My. God." Liz said.

"Right here!" Black Star shouted.

Kid did everyone a favor and punched him in the face.

"Yeah, apparently, Soul here forgot to mention that his mother was a twin."

Soul shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say, I didn't think about it much. And how do you put that in a conversation, 'Could you pass the Cap'n Crunch, oh and by the way there's a chance that we could have twins someday'?"

"Well, you could've hinted it or something," Tsubaki said.

Then, Soul gave her the stink eye.

"So, what're you having then?!" Spirit asked again, eyes even wider and brighter.

"Drum roll please," Maka said.

They all sat down in their chairs and began pounding on their legs, creating a drum roll.

"We're having-"
