Hello my sweeties,
Sorry I've not updated this story for a while I just got tied up
with my other stories, I suppose finishing some of them sooner than others would be a good idea as I already have another 3 skip beat and 2 harry potter full length fic's planned out in detail and that's without all the one shots I write!

I do not own Skip Beat.
Enjoy.

Kuon sat cuddling Kyoko on the sofa at his apartment, it had been four weeks since finding out he was to be the father of twins, and he never thought he could ever be this excited. They still had lots to do such as house hunting in their spare time, check ups and ultrasound scans like they had tomorrow morning. Then there was Kuon's favourite part. Spoiling his babies and the woman he loved rotten. Kyoko was really coming into her own now with her pregnancy. She still had mood swings, but with the help of his dad's advice he was coping better. Then there were the cravings! Only the night before she had asked him to make a Banana and brown sauce sandwich and now she was sitting there, eating a jar of gherkins.
Kuon smiled down at his wife, she seemed too perfect for him like an angel sent from heaven. Kyoko stirred slightly, her attention on the film Kuon had bought specially for her. It was one of their father's earlier action films and she was lost in it, watching with bated breath and eager eyes. God he loved her. Kuon had just started to watch the movie again when Kyoko jumped slightly in his arms.
"Kyoko?" he asked looking down at her again, she looked at her bulge, then up into Kuon's eyes. Her eyes were sparkling as a look of surprise and then pure wonder crossed her face as a smile exploded. She looked away and grabbing Kuon's hand she placed it on her stomach.
"Kyoko?" he asked again rather confused by her reaction. Kyoko just shook her head and motioned for him to be quiet as she pressed his hand into her soft skin. Kuon waited, it was like lightning shooting through his touch sensors as for the briefest moment he felt the smallest knocking against his palm. Kuon's eyes widened as Kyoko turned back to him with the same smile. Again the small slight knocking. Kuon felt the burning behind his eyes as the smile covered his face.
"Those are my babies." he could hardly speak, with so many emotions running through his mind. Even though he kept his hand there for the rest of the night, it didn't happen again, but that one time was enough. He would remember this moment for the rest of his life. The moment he felt his babies for the first time.
Kyoko watched her babies heartbeats fluttering on the screen and smiled at the look of pure joy on Lory's face. Sadly, Kuon was unable to come with her this morning and even though Kanae had offered to bring her as planned as soon as Lory had heard about Kuon missing the scan he had started to pout in Kyoko's presence until Maria had told her Lory wanted her to ask him along.
Kyoko had laughed at Lory's expression when she told him if he wanted to come he only had to ask, but she invited him anyway. So here he was with her and Kanae watching her babies heartbeats and Yuki told her everything was fine. After the shock of the last appointment today's was rather ordinary. Kyoko made sure to get lots of scan pictures for Kuon and when Yuki asked if she would like to know the sexes she just shook her head, she and Kuon had decided it was more exciting to wait and see.
Yuki smiled as Kyoko readjusted her clothes, while Lory was still staring at the scan pictures Yuki had handed him with a gentle excited smile on his face. Kanae just raised her eyebrows shaking her head, but she too was smiling.
"OK then sweetie, I will be seeing you again in five weeks for your next scan at 27 weeks. You also have a check up appointment in two weeks time. If at any point you feel unwell in any way or if anything happens as always call me, my number is in your notes. If I don't answer then call the hospital. There are people here 24/7 so do not leave it, if in doubt, you must find out OK?" Kyoko smiled and nodded. It was always the same lecture, but in a way she was glad. It showed just how much her midwife cared.
"Thanks, Yuki." she said giving the young woman a hug. They had become friends in their time together. Kuon insisted on the best possible care for his wife and children, so Kyoko came to see Yuki a little more regularly than the average pregnant woman. Kyoko was just turning to leave when Yuki called her back.
"Kyoko, one moment I forgot something." She said, walking over to the nurses station and pulling out what looked like a present wrapped in shimmering white paper with a red bow. She handed it to Kyoko with a smile.
"What's this?" Kyoko asked as she looked at the gift.
"Well if you would open it you would see now wouldn't you." Yuki answered with a sing song tone. Pulling off the bow and slowly taking off the paper it revealed a square box about the size of a medium-sized pizza box. Placing it on the nurse station she wiggled off the lid, her sudden gasp made Lory and Kanae's curiosity get the better of them. Coming up behind her on either side they looked at what she had revealed. Kanae smiled and popped her arm around her best friend in a one armed hug as Lory grinned.
"I think he was upset about not being able to come today." Yuki said with a pleasant smile on her face. Kuon had come to see Yuki two days ago when he had found out he wouldn't be able to be there for Kyoko's appointment and booked this secret surprise. Judging by the happy tears and stunned look on her face Kuon had done the perfect thing.
"So I will be seeing you in three weeks as well then?" Kyoko nodded and smiled, hugging Yuki again she allowed Kanae to gather up the box and to lead her from the clinic. That night when Kuon got home, there was one happy wife waiting for him, and she was ever so willing to please.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Hizuri. My name is Honda Kaori, please call me Kaori." Kyoko and Yuki appeared behind Kaori.
"Hello you two, how's the movement coming along." she asked as Kuon and Kyoko exchanged knowing smiles.
"Well lets just say they're starting to becoming real little kickers." Kyoko said with a radiant smile. Both her and Kuon's hand both rested calmly on her stomach.
"We may even have a future athlete the way one of them keeps at it." Yuki could see the pride in Kuon's eyes and smiled at the pair. They were always portrayed as this fantasy couple. Yuki had seen the small arguments and even heard about the bigger ones Kyoko started herself but watching them here now it was hard to imagine them being anything but together.
"Well then shall we begin?" the couple nodded excitedly as Yuki and Kaori led them to a different room than normal. Inside there were machines a lot like the ultrasound ones Yuki used normally, but these seemed a little larger and in Kyoko's mind more complicated.
"Now before we begin we will need to talk about what we are doing here today. The type of scan we will be doing will be a 4D scan of your babies, we will be able to see them as 4D images and I believe you have prepaid for the gold package. Which means when you leave here, you will have ten 4D images plus a 20 minute DVD of your babies. Now Yuki has told me you wished not to know the sex at your past scan, but I warn you as this scan will be more clear giving you a good look at the babies physical form you may at some point notice the babies genders. Do you still wish to continue." Kyoko looked at Kuon who smiled.
"We wouldn't miss this opportunity for the world. If we are meant to find out we are meant to find out." Yuki smiled at Kaori who nodded.
"OK then let's get started." it was the usual prep, Kyoko moving her clothing and lying on the bed, but when the screens came alive this time, both Kuon and Kyoko gasped at the image. The screen which was normally black and white with a flat 2D picture was suddenly alive with a little peachy yellow image in 4D beauty. As Kaori moved the wand they saw a tangle of limbs and a tummy with the cord attached. Slowly but surely Kaori expertly moved the wand, and within a few moments Kyoko began crying as she saw the face of one of her children for the first time.
"It's beautiful." she whispered. All Kuon could do was nod as he watched the moving baby on the screen, its hands moving around by the small face, Yuki and Kaori pointed out different things for the couple who were amazed by what they were seeing. After a few minutes Kaori expertly moved the wand finding the second babe and again moving along the child's body they looked it over inch by inch before arriving at the head. The child's hand seemed to be in front of its mouth and when Kaori moved the wand a little, Yuki giggled slightly.
"Seems we have a thumb sucker." she said with a smile for the couple. Looking at their beautiful child their hearts melting as they watched the thumb in its mouth. The scan lasted almost 40 minutes, and by the end of it Kyoko and Kuon were still in their happy little daze. They had actually seen their children. So when Yuki handed over the ten special prints and DVD footage, which was around the whole 40 minutes worth, she was swept off her feet in a hug from Kuon and a kiss on each cheek. Kaori got the same treatment as a laughing Yuki told him to put them both down so they could get back to work.
Kyoko had never thought she would see Kuon like this, he was simply radiant with happiness, as he rushed them both home copying and sending the footage to his parents then driving them both to LME. He gathered all available friends into Lory's large office and insisted on playing the DVD over twice as he chatted on about the features and everything Yui and Kaori had said during their 4D session.
"So did you by accident see the sex?" Lory asked as he sighed over the picture of babe two as Kuon had called it sucking its thumb. Kyoko and Kuon both smiled, they each had their own suspicions, but they weren't going to talk about them, and so they told their friends to keep their thoughts to themselves as well at the end of the day. They only had 15 more weeks to go before they would finally meet their little fluttering fairies.

I've never personally had a 4D scan so sorry if what you experience is different,
though I did watch my friends DVD of her daughter and
saw her pictures which is where I got the idea of the thumb sucking babe
as her daughter was sucking her thumb when she had hers taken
or appears to be anyway, and its such a cute picture :)
Thank you for reading

Comments and reviews please
I only had a 3D scan with my son. He wouldn't cooperate though since he was sleeping. Technology is pretty amazing, it was great to see their reactions to actually seeing their babies in the scan-RD
