Authors note: Thanks for the reviews, Jules is 6 months pregnant in this chapter.
Jules' POV
Today Sam and I are going for another ultrasound and hopefully we'll find out the sex of the baby.
*Flashback*
"Joe I've got an ultrasound today do you wanna come? We should be able to find out the sex of the babies." Jules says sitting down beside Joe on the sofa, wrapping her arms around his torso and leaning up and kissing his cheek.
"No." Comes his reply, unwrapping Jules' arms and pushing her away.
"Joe... What's wrong? Why are you acting so..so different all of a sudden? You use to love it when we hugged and now, now you're just so distant all the time. Is it something I've done? Something I've said?" Jules asks
"Why are you acting so clingy? We're dating not attached at the hip! I don't want to spend ever waking moment with you! Is it too much to ask that you leave me in peace for a bit and stop asking so many questions?" He shouts and gets up from the sofa.
"Joey! I'm sorry ok? Can you just come with me? Please?" Jules asks getting up and following him into the hallway.
"No. Just go away. Just leave me alone." He says and storms out the front door slamming it behind him.
"Hey Jules." Wordy calls as Jules walks into the waiting room at the hospital.
"Hi, I didn't know you'd be here." She say taking a seat beside him and Shelley. "Not long to go now is it?"
"Nope two weeks." Shelley replies rubbing her stomach.
"Where's Joe?" Wordy asks
"Oh he was busy." Jules says looking down and rubbing her stomach.
"Really? He couldn't just take a little time out of his schedule to come to the ultrasound with you?" He asks
"Kevin." Shelley says raising her eyebrows at him.
"No he's in an important meeting." Jules says
"On a Saturday evening?" Shelley asks and Jules nods as the doctor calls Shelley's name.
When Shelley and Wordy come out of the room, they make their way back into the waiting room.
"Hey, everything ok?" Jules asks
"Yep, everything's great I was just thinking that I know what it's like going in for an ultrasound alone, it's not particularly nice so would you like Kevin to go in with you?" Shelley asks
"Are you sure?" Jules asks and they both nod and sit back down beside her.
"Joe's not in a meeting is he Jules?" Wordy asks and Jules shakes her head.
"I asked him if he wanted to come but he pushed me away and stormed out of the house saying that I'm being too clingy." Jules whispers and Shelley glances at Kevin before giving Jules a sympathetic look.
"He's not been to any of your appointments has he?" Shelley asks and Jules shakes her head and tries to stop the tears from falling.
"Hey it's ok. Jules why didn't you tell us this before? You know we're all here for you, we just want what's best for you and the babies. We could have helped, we could have come to your appointments with you." Wordy says wrapping his arms around Jules the best he could with her ever growing stomach.
"I know but I thought that Joe would change as we got closer to my due date but he's just become more and more distant." Jules cries.
"Has Joe hurt you Jules?" Shelley asks when Jules stops crying.
"Yes." Jules whispers "but you can't tell anyone, please. I need Joe, he may not be the perfect boyfriend but I love him, even if he doesn't love me back."
"Jules if he's hurting you, we need to tell someone, we need to tell Sarge or.."
"No." Jules cuts Wordy off. "No, I knew this would happen that's why I didn't tell anyone."
"Juliana Callaghan." The doctor calls and Jules gets up.
"You still want me to come?" Wordy asks and Jules hesitates before nodding.
*End of flashback*
"Good morning Juliana, how are you feeling today?" The doctor asks as she and Sam walk into the room.
"Good thanks." Says Jules taking a seat on the bed.
"Good, no one else from the Callaghan clan here today then?" He asks
"No they're all at school and nursery." Jules says
"Ah ok. Would you like to lie back and lift your top for me please?" Jules nods and does what the doctor asks.
"Would you like to find out the gender of your baby today?" He asks as Jules reaches for Sam's hand and they both nod.
"Well it looks like you're having..."
*Flashback*
"Two baby girls!" The doctor announces. "I'll go and print off some pictures, the tissues are just beside you."
"Two girls! Wow!" Jules says as Wordy hands her some tissues.
"Congratulations!" He says hugging her and then helping her off the bed.
"Thanks for coming in with me." Jules says
"Anytime." Wordy says as the doctor comes back into the room and hands Jules the pictures. "So when are you going to tell the team?"
"Well we've got a shift now so I could do it then." Jules says
"Hey! How was the ultrasound? Did you find out what you're having?" Rolie asks Jules when Jules and Wordy arrive.
"Yeah, I'm having two girls!" She announces and everyone congratulates her.
"How did Joe react?" Spike asks
"He uh, he was busy. Something came up at work." Jules says and the subject gets dropped as Winnie shouts to them to gear up.
*End of flashback*
"...a boy! Congratulations." The doctor says
"For a second then I thought you were going to say girl again!" Jules said laughing.
"Not this time! I'll go and print off those pictures for you."
"A boy huh? You happy?" Sam asks helping Jules wipe off the gel and then hugging her.
"Very. I'm glad it's a boy, Lukey will have someone other than girls to play with now." Jules replies wrapping her arms around Sam's neck and kissing his cheek.
"Where to next?" Sam asks
"Well we've basically got all the furniture because we've got Mia's old cot and changing table. We've got all of Lucas' old clothes, we could do with another chest of drawers, maybe some more bedding for the baby's bed because Lucas is still sleeping in his cot. We'll need a new car seat because I got rid of Lucas' old one." Jules says listing everything that they will need.
"Got it. So baby store?" Sam asks and Jules nods.
"Aw Sammy look at this!" Jules gushes holding up a baby sleeping bag with a mouse on it. "It's so cute!"
"Do you wanna get it?" Sam asks
"Really?" Jules asks and Sam nods.
"Sure, if that's what you want then we can get it, why?" Sam replies
"It's just that whenever I showed Joe something like that he'd say that we didn't need it and then it was not worth getting." Jules says putting the sleeping bag in the basket that Sam is holding and taking his free hand in hers.
"You can have whatever you want the price doesn't matter." Sam says leaning down and kissing Jules' cheek.
*Flashback*
"So we're going to need two cribs, a changing table, a chest of drawers, a two seater pram, two car seats, nappies, dummies, bottles, clothes, baby monitors and some other things." Jules says memorising the list as she and Joe drive towards the baby store.
"That much?" Joe asks not looking up from his phone.
"Joe we're not having just one baby, we're having twins." Jules says as they pull into the car park.
"I'm aware of that but do we really need all those things?" He asks still not looking up from his phone.
"Well, kinda." Jules mutters
"Kinda? Juliana it's either yes we need all those things or no we don't which one is it?" Joe shouts
"Yes. Yes we need those things because I am having two babies and those are the things we need. You happy now?" She shouts getting frustrated.
"Don't you ever speak to me like that again, got it?" Joe asks grabbing her wrist tightly and pulling so that she moved and was facing him. "Got it?"
"Yes but Joe you're hurting me, please let go." Jules begs and rubs her sore wrist as he lets go and shoves it away before getting out of the car.
*End of flashback*
"What about this Sammy?" Jules asks pointing to a picture frame with five different sections. "We could put a picture of each of the children in it." Sam comes up behind Jules and wraps his arms around her and kisses her cheek again.
"That's sweet, what colour, black or white?" He asks
"White please." Jules says as Sam bends down and picks up a box and puts it in the basket.
"I was looking at this mobile, do you like it?" Sam asks leading Jules over to a mobile with little owls hanging down.
"That's cute, it would match with the colour theme as well." Jules says
"We have a colour theme? So you want it?" He asks
"Yes we do, it's blue and yeah it's cute and it's different from Lucas' which is nice." Jules says and moves onto the bedding and picks up one with owls on as well and puts it in the basket as well.
After finding everything they need, Sam and Jules go and pick the twins up from school and Mia and Lucas up from nursery. They then go and pick out some wallpaper and paint for the baby's room.
*Flashback*
"Joe the guys are coming over to help paint the nursery and put everything together, could you help them?" Jules asks Joe as she walks into the kitchen.
"No." Joe grumbles
"No?" Jules asks "what do you mean no?" She shouts her hormones taking over.
"Don't you dare shout at me!" Joe shouts and goes to hit her but she raises her hand and grabs his wrist and twists.
"Then don't you dare shout at me!" She shouts back. Joe's face turns red with anger and Jules quickly lets go and steps back, suddenly feeling nervous. "I-uh, I..." She starts as the doorbell rings. She walks into the hallway and opens the door, trying to hide how flustered she was. As soon as she opened the door, she's greeted by the team who start to enter the house before Joe pushes past Jules, knocking her into the wall and making her lose balance and almost fall before Spike grab her and pulls her towards him so that she doesn't fall.
"Joe!" She shouts shrugging Spike off and starting to follow Joe out the door. "Joe stop!"
"Jules no, just calm down, calm down Jules." Greg says holding onto Jules' shoulders and making her look into his eyes. "Why don't you show us where the babies room is and what you want us to do?" Jules nods and motions for the team to come in and follow her.
*End of flashback*
"Mama, baba." Lucas says walking into the living room, where Sam and Jules are sitting discussing baby names, pointing to Jules' stomach.
"That's right buddy, your baby brother is in mummy's tummy." Jules says as Lucas comes and stands in front of Jules and leaning forward and kissing her stomach.
"Love you baba." He says climbing onto the sofa and resting his head on Jules' small bump.
"Hi mama." Mia says walking into the living room with the twins close behind her.
"Hey." Jules replies as the twins climbing onto Sam's lap and Mia climbs onto Jules'.
"Baba." Mia says putting her hand on Jules' stomach.
"Yep, that's your baby brother in there." Jules says resting her hand on top of Mia's.
"It's a boy?" Jenny asks and Jules nods.
"Yay! I having another brother!" Tori shouts doing a little dance on Sam's lap making Sam and Jules laugh.
"That's right baby, you're having another baby brother." Jules says.
