"Dad, you made it," the man said as he opened the door to his wife's hospital room, his bright eyes shining with happiness. "We didn't expect you to show until we possibly brought the kids home."

"Yea, well, here I am," the older man said, shrugging his shoulders as he scratched the back of his neck. He had intended to wait but he owed it to his brother to be here.

"Come in, come in," the younger man said, stepping aside to let their visitor in.

The older man stepped forward slowly, giving a casual wave to the woman as he surveyed the inside of the room. It was a quaint little room with a lovely view of the hospital parking lot, way different from the view he was used to in Gravity Falls.

"Oh, hi, Stan," the woman in the bed said, in her arms, two bundles held closely to her chest, one in pink and one in blue.

"There's two of them," he remarked once he reached the woman's bedside, his eyes widening slightly.

The younger man chuckled as he came up on her other side. "Yes, Dad, I told you we were having twins months ago."

Before the older man could say anything, the young man had already pulled one of the bundles out of his wife's arms. "We've named the girl Mabel but we haven't decided on a name for the boy yet."

"There's a strange birthmark on his forehead!" the older man said, his eyes squinting as he inspected it closer.

"We know," the woman said. "He's our little Dipper."

The older man looked back down at the bundle, tracing the birthmark with his finger.

"Oh, Ford, if you could see your family now," he thought.
