Chapter twelve:

"Yeah." Michael says looking to it.

"It's the star that we both share." Gavin says lowering his hand. "It's the one that always makes sure I am lead home to you."

Michael smiles. "Then I hope it stays there." He tells Gavin. "Cause I wouldn't be able to stand my broken heart if I lost you."

Gavin grins at that. "Same to you." He says and sits up to get a kiss from Michael as Michael kisses back happily.

They hang around there for a bit longer before getting up and heading off back home to go get some rest.

The next day….

Ray and Ryan head to the doctors this late morning.

When they enter the office the doctor that they've been seeing turns to them as he had been passing through the room.

"Ah. Ryan. Ray." He says in greeting. "Come on in."

The two follow the doctor to the room and the doctor closes it behind them.

Ray hops onto the bed while Ryan stays standing.

"I heard you had a little incident and wanted to make sure everything is ok." The doctor says.

"Yes Doctor Regis." Ray says.

"Do you mind if I ask what happened?" Doctor Regis asks.

"I got shot at. None of them hit but I had to climb a counter, go out a window and run away." Ray gives the short version.

Doctor Regis nods. "I'm sorry that happened." He says. "Here. I'll take a look but you should remove your sweater."

Ray takes off his purple sweater leaving him with a grey muscle shirt.

Ryan takes his sweater while Doctor Regis begins the examination. He watches as the doctor does what is needed then he pulls away. "Is everything ok?" He asks.

Doctor Regis glances to him. "As far as I can tell it is. But since it was such a big ordeal I'll need to move your ultrasound to today or tomorrow just to be on the safe side. I will call the place. Wait here."

"Thank you." Ray says and the doctor leaves as Ryan gives him back his sweater to put on.

Ryan and Ray link hands once Ray's sweater is back on as they wait for Doctor Regis to return.

Doctor Regis returns a little later. "You're booked in for one pm tomorrow. It is recommended to not eat or drink anything for twelve hours before just to make sure we get a clear picture. Also since I know any medication you are taking I would suggest not taking any that day. Just to be safe."

"Thank you." Ray says.

"No problem." Doctor Regis assures them.

So they leave after that.

"Let's go to the place." Ryan suggests. "I made sure to bring snacks. They're in the car."

Ray nods. "Ok." He agrees.

"Great!" Ryan says excited.

The two climb into the car and once both are buckled in Ryan begins driving.

Ray leans back closing his eyes for a moment.

Too bad if he had left his eyes open he would have seen the hooded figure watching him as he goes by.

Ray opens his eyes after a few moments then turns grabbing the bag left within reach to see what snacks Ryan brought along. He finds some granola bars, a peeled orange in a plastic container and a box of veggie thin crackers. He smiles and first grabs the container holding the orange deciding to eat that first while putting the bag with the rest of the stuff down to at his feet while he eats the orange.

Ryan takes him to a location pulling into the parking lot only to park the car.

Ray is munching on a granola bar by the time they get there. He stuffs two other bars into his pocket the follows Ryan out of the car.

They head along the park area where a river flows gently.

Ray must admit that Ryan was right about it being beautiful. "Wow." He gasps stuffing the granola bar wrapper into his pocket. "It is beautiful."

Ryan smiles and when they stand by the river he stops making Ray stop then turn to him a little confused.

"Ryan?" Ray asks.

"Ray. My dear Ray." Ryan begins. "There's something we need to talk about."

Ray blinks and turns to fully face Ryan. "What is it?" He asks.

Ryan takes a step closer to Ray. "Ray. You are the one I love more than the world. Now I know we only talked about this once after finding out you were pregnant but I wanted to do it officially." He says taking one of Ray's hands. "Because I love you so much. I love you unlike I have ever loved anyone else." He lowers himself to one knee and Ray gasps. "So." He brings out a small box to show to Ryan. "Will you…" He opens the box revealing the ring. "Marry me?"

The ring is white gold with a white jewel on top.

Ray opens his mouth but he is so happy that he has lost his voice so instead he nods.

Ryan grins and takes out the ring sliding it onto Ray's finger.

Ray leans in stealing a kiss from Ryan who happily accepts it.

…..

Michael walks around the house while Gavin is playing some GTA V to work on his character. He wanders into the kitchen feeling a little hungry and looks in the pantry for anything to eat. He had taken the medicine that Gavin got and that Ray had suggested so he's feeling better now faster than before. He finds nothing he wants in the pantry and turns to the fridge finding some oranges in which he feels a certain craving come about.

So he grabs two oranges placing them on the counter then he goes back to the pantry grabbing the pretty much full bag of chocolate chips and pours some in a bowl then puts the bag away.

He puts the bowl in the microwave and types in the number that it should take to melt them then presses start.

As he waits he begins peeling the oranges throwing the peels into the trash can then once that is done the microwave beeps.

He goes back over to it and carefully takes the bowl out closing the microwave after. He settles at the table with the oranges and the bowl of melted chocolate chips. He grabs one orange piece and dips it into the chocolate only to take a bite. He quite likes it and he continues to eat dipping the oranges into the chocolate.

Around when he is almost done is when Gavin wanders into the room.

Gavin turns to him and raises and eyebrow.

"What?" Michael questions after swallowing what's in his mouth.

"Chocolate and oranges?" Gavin asks. "Bloody hell Micool. I didn't think you'd like something like that."

Michael shrugs. "I was just craving it. It's not that bad." He says then takes another bite of a chocolate dipped orange.

Gavin chuckles and shakes his head only to head to grab something for himself.

The next day…..

Ray and Ryan left work to go to their appointment.

Ray showed off his engagement ring and everyone was excited since he did post it on the internet but to actually see it in person was like a special moment for the others.

The two arrive to their appointment and Ryan goes to the front desk with Ray following with their hands linked.

"We are here for our appointment." Ryan says and takes care of anything needed then they are lead to a room.

"Get yourself settled." The nurse says. "And change into this." She hands Ray the hospital gown.

Once Ray is ready the nurse is brought back in by Ryan.

Ray climbs onto the bed laying back as the bed is positioned so he can do so safely and Ryan stands next to him.

"This will be a little cold." The nurse says then begins and applies the special lubricating jelly on his belly making Ray shiver. "There we go." She says when done. "Now we can do the ultrasound." She brings the equipment up and begins it.

Ray gasps as they see the baby… Well…..

"It's twins." The nurse says with a smile.

Ray turns to Ryan extremely happy.

Ryan smiles staring at the screen then turns to Ray still smiling.

The nurse smiles at this and she checks for anything wrong. "Everything is fine." She reports. "They look to be completely healthy. You can get another one done in a month and a half to two months to see if we can tell the genders." She offers.

"Thanks. We'll keep that in mind." Ryan says.

Once everything is all done the gel is cleaned off, Ray is allowed to change back into his clothes and they are allowed to go back to work.

Ryan had made sure to bring a nice sized lunch for Ray when the ultrasound was done and Ray is currently eating as they drive back to work.

Ray was quite hungry finishing the food before the pull up to their work.

They head inside.

Michael and Gavin were playing Lucius when the two left but seem to be done now making everyone in the room mostly editing.

Michael and Ray have been wearing the hair clips as Lindsay placed them like a new favorite style including today they are wearing them.

Lindsay turns and brightens. "How'd it go?" She asks making everyone turn.

Ryan is still smiling and Ray is too.

"Everything's fine." Ray says.

"It's twins!" Ryan says happily.

The group smile and either go to them or say their congratulations.

Work went well that day and after work is done Ryan is staying behind to do a let's build with Geoff while Ray decides to go visit Michael and Gavin.

He drives there and finds Michael is already back. He hops out of the car as Michael is outside out front relaxing on one of the chairs there. "Yo." He greets as Michael turns to him.

"Hey." Michael greets back and Ray sits down in a chair that is free.

A figure pokes a head over the bush and gasps at the sight.
