Okay, sorry to keep the gender of Brittany's baby from you for so long. I promise you, you'll find out very soon ;D


As the days turned into weeks, Brittany grew and grew. Her belly stuck out in front of her, and she tired easily. She walked with a waddle, sitting down at every possible chance. Chipmunk pregnancies usually lasted, on average, a month, and since Brittany had been pregnant for roughly 2 weeks, there wasn't long left before she was ready to give birth.

There were some aspects about this chipmunk bunch that were human like, the way they functioned, the fact they could speak English, and many of their feelings, but their pregnancies were normal.

"Brit, can't you tell me if you're having a boy or a girl?" Jeanette pleaded.

Brittany looked around, Eleanor was in the room and so was Alvin. Theodore and Simon were there too.

"Not yet, it's too risky"

"But can't you just whisper it in my ear?"

Brittany patted Jeanette's shoulders "Don't worry, I will... Just not now"

"You're such a tease, Brit" Jeanette laughed and walked over to the others.

Alvin, seeing Brit was by herself, walked over to her "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" she sighed "Just sleepy"

"Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?"

"Only if you come up with me"

Alvin smiled "Sure"

...

"So, for a girl-"

"Ariana"

Alvin smiled "I love that name"

"And for the boy's name?"

"Charlie"

"Yeah, I like that name... We didn't have much to choose from though" Brittany laughed "But I'm fine with those. Are you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine with those two names"

"Of course, I already know what our baby is called" Brittany smirked.

"I know, I don't mind, I want it to be a surprise" Alvin kissed Brittany "As long as you and our baby are healthy and safe, it's fine with me..."

Brittany smiled and let out a soft sigh "I'm so glad you're here... You could have just run off, but you didn't"

"Well, where else would I be?" Alvin smiled back.

"You're so brave" Brittany kissed Alvin's cheek, before lying back onto her bed.

Alvin brushed her hair out of her face as her eyes fluttered closed. She drifted off to sleep and Alvin tip-toed out of the room.

...

"Hey guys" Alvin walked into the room "Brit's asleep"

"She's been so tired lately" Eleanor frowned "Is there something wrong with her"

"No, Ellie, being exhausted is a common side effect of being pregnant" Jeanette told her "Especially how late Brittany is in her pregnancy"

"Yeah, she is getting really big" Theodore said.

Simon spoke up "She probably only has about a week until she'll be ready to give birth"

"Yeah" Alvin said, face blank, zoned out of the world. He couldn't believe in a little over a week he was going to be a father. There would be a new Chipmunk baby in the household, and he would own it.

Alvin snapped back into reality when he felt Simon's reassuring hand on his back "Alvin?"

"Yeah?"

"You okay?"

Alvin looked around the room. 4 pairs of eyes were looking at him "Yeah, I'm fine..."

"Are you sure?" said Jeanette.

Alvin hesitated "I just can't believe that in less than a week, I'll be a Dad..."

"Yeah, it is pretty unbelievable" Simon agreed "But I know in my heart that you'll be a great dad"

"Thanks Si" he smiled "I'm so glad of how supportive you have all been"

A thought struck Alvin "Oh my God, I haven't told Dave! I haven't talked to him since I found out Brit was pregnant, what the hell do I do now?"

Jeanette smiled "Alvin, I told him as soon as we all knew. I knew how hard it would be for you to tell Dave, so I did it for you"

"Really? Well, thanks. I don't know what I would have done if I'd kept it from him until now" Alvin smiled at Jeanette "I owe you one, guys..."

"Alvin, giving us our own niece or nephew is a good enough gift" Simon said, putting his arm around Jeanette and looking at all his family "You don't know how happy we are that we are going to be Uncles and Aunts"

"You guys are really happy about this?"

"Of course, Alvin, our brother is having a baby!" Theodore giggled "What's not to be happy about?"

"Jeanette, what did Dave say?" Alvin asked, dreading the answer.

"Well, he was a little disappointed, I guess..." she sighed "I guess it must have just felt weird to him to know that his son conceived a child, and that he was even doing that kind of thing, as any father would have felt"

"Was he mad?"

"Well, no. He actually took it quite well, he understands completely why you didn't tell him, and he thought he'd just let you have your own time with Brit and he wouldn't interrupt just yet" Jeanette smiled "But he will come to see you, soon"

Alvin breathed a sigh of relief "Thanks so much for telling him, guys"

...

"Brit, it's lunchtime" Jeanette appeared in Brittany's doorway.

"W-What?" Brittany squinted her tired eyes and looked around.

"You've been asleep since 7:00 last night" laughed Jeanette "You need to get up, you can't sleep all day"

Brittany sat up "Well, I don't feel as tired anymore"

"That's because you've been asleep for a day! Now get your lazy ass up and come eat lunch... Or breakfast"

Brittany laughed. She loved sleeping in, but this was a new record.

"There's still something you haven't told me" Jeanette hinted, she couldn't stand the wait. She needed to know if she'd have a niece or a nephew.

"Fine, I'll tell you"

Jeanette squealed and sat next to her sister.

"Well..." Brittany breathed "I guess I'll just blurt it out?"

"Do anything you want to"

Brittany paused "I'm having a girl-"

Jeanette screamed, hugging her sister close "Oh my God! That's so cool! I'll be Aunty Jeanette to a little girl!"

"Jeanette, I wasn't finished talking"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, keep going. I'm listening"

"And a boy"

Jeanette's eyes snapped open, she looked right at her sister "Twins?!"


OMG! A boy and a girl!
