Winona tossed and turned that night, in fact she tossed and turned every night for months. She barely got any sleep anymore. Wallace was worried.

She was irritable and tired and every little thing set her off in tears. Steven told Wallace that it's only due to hormones and will pass. Wallace wasn't so sure.

Winona put on a brave face for people when they have visitors, Winona barely left the house anymore, but when she's alone and she thinks nobody is watching her she breaks down. Wallace saw that side of her too many times for his liking.

Winona was due soon. They were busy decorating the room that the babies would be staying in. They painted Milotic and Altaria on the walls. Well, Wallace did. Winona couldn't draw well. Her skills were about as good now as when she was a child scribbling on her tree house walls.

Winona painted the back ground as Wallace instructed. She watched as Wallace's paint brush expertly brought the two pokémon to life on the wall. Wallace looked up to see Winona watching him. He smiled but she only looked away.

"Winona, it's lunch time. Lets have a break." Wallace said as he averted the awkwardness by looking at his watch.

"I'm not hungry Wallace." She replied, dropping her brush onto the paint tray.

"You still have to eat" he said as he laced his fingers between hers as they made their way to the kitchen.

Winona sat down as Wallace went to the fridge. It was a struggle as she was absolutely huge. Wallace brought over Winona's new found favourite food, a skittles sandwich with whipped cream.

She wolfed down the sandwich to say she wasn't hungry and downed her drink of pink lemonade.

Wallace ate a lot slower and Winona was getting impatience.

"I'm going to continue painting." She said before getting up and waddling, in a fashion, out of the room.

Wallace was finished five minutes later. He made his way up the the children's room to find Winona standing there, hands on her belly with an extremely worried look on her face.

"Winona?! Winona what's wrong?! Tell me!"

She looked up, her voice barely a whisper. "Wallace, I think it's time."

"It can't be, you aren't due for another few weeks."

"Twins come premature Wallace."

"Right, to the car. I'll grab the hospital bag."

With that Winona waddled to the car as Wallace walked to his room, pokénav in hand ready to call Steven.

In truth Wallace was totally frightened. He had no idea what to do.

Steven picked up on the first ring. "Steven Stone speaking."

"Steven it's me. It's time."

"It's time you mean? The baby?"

"It's twins but yes. Steven I'm scared. I- I'm not ready to be a father."

"Nonsense Wallace, I couldn't think of a more perfect man for the job. I'll see you at the hospital. I'll tell Flannery. Goodbye Wallace."

Wallace hung up, grabbed the bag and made his way to the car.

The journey to the hospital was a short one, although it felt like a long one. It wasn't too long before they were parked up they made their way into the hospital.

Winona and Wallace were taken to the maternity ward. LTo their surprise they also saw Roxanne and Brawly. They were going to have a boy which they would call Diego.

"Wallace! How are you dude?" Brawly said as he walked up to Wallace.

"In all honesty, scared. What about you Brawly?"

"I can't wait man!"

"You do realise it's a baby and not a toy and will take some responsibility?"

"Mhmm, don't worry I'm totally ready."

Wallace had had enough of the conversation, he said his goodbye and went back to Winona.

"Congratulations, you've given birth to two girls." The midwife said as she handed them both to Winona.

For the first time in a long time Wallace saw Winona give a genuine smile.

"Well, congratulations Winona." Wallace said as he pushed some hair back of her face.

It was the following day and Winona was back in the maternity ward. Wallace was asleep on the chair beside her while the two babies were being held by Steven and Flannery.

Winona was tired herself but she fought it off as she had visitors. The leaders were alternating between Roxanne and Brawly and Winona and Wallace.

Wattson suggested they hold a joint party in celebration. Everyone aside from Winona enthusiastically agreed. She didn't want her children to be a show and tell object.

After visiting hours were over the nurse came over to them, they held the first bed in the ward.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" She asked.

"Yes. We have." Winona answered as Wallace was still sleeping. "Dahlia and Iris."

I know it's only a short chapter but I did have writers block for ages. As for Roxanne and Brawly becoming parents. I see them being the same ages as Wallace and Winona. Early to late twenties so it's ok really. As always I hope you're enjoying the story. Don't forget to review and let me know what you think.
