[Fast forward: 2 more months]
"Three more months," Benny mumbled as he brushed his fingers over Ethan's protruding stomach.
"Three more months. You ready to be a parent?" Ethan asked, looking at his fiancé, who smirked happily at him.
"Of course. Spending the rest of my life taking care of you and two little brats who look just like me and you. What's not to look forward to?" he said sarcastically, making Ethan hit him playfully.
"They may be brats but they're our brats," he said, making them both smile.
"You are correct; they're our brats," Benny said in a loving voice, making Ethan smile happily.
…
The next day, Benny was at work, sighing in boredom. Work was dead today. They had like two customers all day.
"Wassup!" Rory called out as he entered the gaming store.
"Hey Rory. What are you doing here?" Benny asked, looking at his friend, who looked at some random things by the register.
"I came to talk to you about Ethan's birthday party. We gotta plan it."
"Who's Ethan?" Benny's nosey manager, Eli, asked.
"Benny's bo-" Rory was cut off by a slap to the back of the head. "Ow."
"My best friend. His birthday is coming up in a few days."
"Ah. That's cool. How old will he be?"
"17."
"Cool," the manager said as Rory looked at him strangely. "Uh, why don't you take a break so you and your friend can talk about birthday plans?"
"Thanks Eli," Benny said, walking from behind the counter. "Come on Rory; let's go to the break room. Do you mind?" Benny asked his boss, who shook his head.
"Nah, we're dead out here. If we get busy I'll let you know." Rory just stared at the older guy before being dragged into the back by Benny.
"Dude… your boss looks really familiar!" Rory said as soon as they went into the back room.
"Hey, we've gotta talk about Ethan's party, not my boss."
"I'm trying to be serious. He looks like… kinda like you. Or is it Ethan? He looks really REALLY familiar."
"So what? He has brown hair and brown eyes. A lot of people do. You're crazy. Come on, let's talk party."
"Party," Rory said in a daze-like voice.
"Party."
…
At this moment in time, Sarah was having a human lunch with Ethan's mom.
"You know, they've only got three more months before your grandchildren are here," Sarah said as she bit into a cookie.
"I know. I feel old. I'm not that old am I?" Samantha asked, looking at the dark-haired girl before her, who shrugged. "I'm sorry. I forgot," she said, sending an apologetic smile to Sarah.
"Don't be. It's fine. I'm fine. I'm getting used to the whole immortal thing," Sarah said with an honest smile. "Besides, we need to start planning Ethan and Benny their baby shower!"
"Of course! But Ethan's birthday is coming up too…"
"Benny and Rory have got that covered," Sarah said, making Ethan's mom smile.
"Well then, let's talk baby shower."
…
[A few days later…]
Ethan was napping in his and Benny's room while Benny, his grandma, Rory, Sarah, Ethan's mom and Jane all met in the Weir's kitchen.
"So, we have the birthday party first then the baby shower?" Sarah asked as everyone else nodded. "Alright. And he doesn't know any of this is happening? I'm surprised Rory can keep a secret this long."
"I put a forgetting charm on him," Benny said with a smile. "He only remembers about the party when we meet to talk about it or when it's actually happening, that way he doesn't go blabbing about it to Ethan."
"Ah. Good idea," Sarah said with a nod. "So, birthday party tomorrow, and then baby shower the day after. Sound right?"
"Yup."
"Awesome. And we've already got everything ready, so all that's left is to have the parties."
"Yep." After everyone had converged and Benny got ready to head to work, Rory pulled Sarah aside.
"Sarah, I know I'm not the smartest person on the planet, or the world for that matter-"
"You've got that right," she said, making him frown.
"But! There's something about Benny's boss, Eli."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't describe it. Come to his work, and just … look at the guy. There's something… off about him. Maybe he's an alien!" Rory told Sarah, eyes wide.
"Yeah, alien," she said with an eye roll. "Benny!" she called out to the tall boy, who turned to look at her. "Need a ride to work?"
"…Sure... Why the sudden offer?"
"Felt like being nice. Come on."
"Can I come?" Rory asked, making Sarah shrug and look at Benny.
"Don't bother me while I'm working." Rory shot Benny a huge smile and they all piled into Sarah's car.
…
Sarah and Rory stood near the back of the store, watching Benny interact with the customers. "Who would've thought he'd be so good at something?" Sarah asked Rory, clearly impressed.
"Well he's not the one we're spying on. He's the one," Rory said, tilting his head to where Benny's boss, Eli, was standing, restacking video games. "Doesn't he look really familiar?" Sarah looked at him, taking in his features. His hair was long, curling around his ears and at the nape of his neck; although it was a light brown color, some parts of his hair looked a little darker though. His eyes were a dark brown, with a light color tint to them.
"Yeah… he does look familiar." As they were talking Eli looked up and caught their eyes on him. His own widened before he looked away. "Weird…" Sarah mumbled, looking at Rory, who nodded.
"Told ya."
…
The next day was Ethan's birthday party, and he couldn't be happier. Of course, he was so round at 6 months that he opted to spend most of his party sitting on the couch, laughing and having fun with his family and the few friends who were there that he allowed to see him.
"I'm fat," he mumbled to Benny, who laughed happily at him.
"Makes you feel any better, you look really cute as a fatty," Benny said, kissing Ethan's cheek. Ethan blushed, making the other people in the room laugh at him a little.
"Not cool," he said, blushing even more.
"Love you," Benny whispered to Ethan.
"I love you too."
…
The next day was the baby shower, and Ethan and Benny were both bombarded with presents for the twins. So, while everyone was enjoying cake and talking happily, and the floor was littered with wrapping and tissue paper, Ethan looked at Benny.
"Can we tell them now?" he asked, making Benny smile.
"Yeah baby, we can tell them."
"Hey everyone!" Ethan called out, making everyone look at him and Benny. "We've got something to tell you."
"We've come up with middle names for our brats," Benny said, placing an arm around Ethan's shoulders. "You tell them," he said, smiling at Ethan, who nodded.
"Eric Benji and Ella Bethany."
…
