Sorry I've been away for soooooo long, but I'm back now! And I hope you enjoy this chapter!

America POV

"Maxon?"

"Umph?"

"Can you get me some ice-cream?"

"America, it's three o'clock I'm the morning."

I know it's three o'clock in the morning but I'm so tired and moody and sore I don't care. "Please? If you were the one carrying our baby and the heir to a very important country, I would get you ice-cream. And anything else you wanted." If guilt doesn't work, I don't know what will.

"Okay, I love you." He says while getting out of bed and pulling on his boxers that were discarded on the floor last night. He walks over to the door and sticks his head out and asks the guard to send up some ice-cream.

"Are you alright, darling?" He asks. I snuggle into his bare chest as an answer and he rubs my back. At 20 weeks pregnant, my stomach is huge. I feel bloated and whenever I walk, I waddle like some fat duck. "Yeah... I just want this baby to be here. Imagine we have another 20 weeks to do."

A knock on the door occurs and the guard who went to get the ice-cream walks in after Maxon shouts for him to. I start to eat the chocolate flavoured ice-cream. Maxon puts a gentle hand on my swollen belly and puts his head next to it. He says "Baby, I would appreciate it if you could give your mommy a break." I laugh and then the baby kicks.

Maxon jumps backwards and looks to me for an explanation. I just look at him, not knowing what to say. He smiles and puts his head back down, then I feel another kick but this time on my lower back. "Maxon, there was another one but on my back this time."

"It's amazing isn't it?"

"Yep"

"I honestly can't wait until I get to meet our little one."

Maxon looks so excited that all the pain I have been feeling because of my massive lump just slowly dwindles away, it'll be so worth it whenever we'll be able to hold our own baby in our arms.

"We have the next doctors appointment in the morning so I suggest we both go back to sleep, I'm sure it won't be the last time he or she kicks."

"Well everything looks normal, do you want to hear the heartbeat again?" Dr. Ashlar asks. I don't even have to look at Maxon because I know his answer will be yes so I just nod my head.

The room is filled with a thumping sound that I think resembles anything but a baby's heart beat. I can't believe it's a real life human and not a ball of cells. Dr. Ashlar quickly spares a glance at me and rises from his seat "Excuse me for one moment." I look at Maxon and I see he is giving me a worried look. "What's wrong?"

"I just have to check on something, I'll be right back."

He leaves the room and Maxon squeezes my hand tighter, "You know, they probably said something like that to Mom when she... When she lost them."

I don't say anything because I think I'll start crying if I do. Dr. Ashlar returns back with a nurse, he points to a screen and she looks a bit closer. She straightens herself up and nods once before leaving the room. Maxon has lost all of his patience by now and stands up, letting go of my hand. "What's wrong? Tell me!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. You're having twins.

What?

"Excuse me?" Maxon asks, his voice a tone higher than it normally is. "Your having twins, your majesty. You do know what twins are, don't you?" Maxon just stares at him before turning to me and taking my hand again. "I'll give you a minute alone."

"Can you believe it?" I shake my head at him and I realise I really haven't talked since I walked into this room so I force some words out. "We are having two, Maxon. That's double the amount we were expecting." He just laughs at me and I can see the tears making his eyes shiny. Just like mine.

"We are having twins! Imagine after all that trying two come along at once." Maxon says. I can see the excitement in his eyes but also a bit of anxiety. I know how he's feeling. What if there is another rebel attack? What if I can't protect them both? Now that there is two, there is double the chance of something going wrong.

Maxon must sense my discomfort and lifts my hand to his mouth and gives it a kiss. "Ames, we'll be fine. Yea it might be difficult but your mom will be there to help and so will May, and Mary and Kenna. And I'll be there too. We'll be fine."

I know we will because Maxon wil make a wonderful father. No matter what doubts he has of his own ability, I know he will always be there for them no matter what.

Later that week, we tell my family about the twins. They are delighted, of course. May had been gushing about the fact that she was getting two for the price of one and Gerad was hoping it will be two boys. I don't really care if they are two boys or two girls or one of each as long as they are happy and healthy.

I walk into Maxon's office to find him holding baby Shal in one arm and writing a document with the other. Shal is now a couple of months old with green eyes And James' dark hair. James and Kenna decided to name him after Dad, which I thought was a lovely thing to do.

"Why do you have Shal?" I ask Maxon as I walk over to him and give him a kiss on the cheek. I run a finger over Shal's dark hair as well before sitting down beside him. "I ran into Kenna outside and she seemed to have plenty of things to do, so I decided to offer to look after him for a while."

I nod and Maxon goes back to his work and I start trying to organise his desk for him. He normally is a real neat-freak but for some reason is desk is always really messy. I turn round to him to ask him where I should put a document with the summary of his last budget meeting when I see him holding Shal up in the air and smelling his diaper.

"I think he needs his diaper changed." Maxon tells me while holding him at arms length to give to me. "Why do I always have to change it? Do you want me to teach you?" The couple of times we have looked after Shal when Astra was sick, Maxon was always to scared to do it. He reluctantly nods his head and I finish clearing his desk do we can lay the baby down.

I show Maxon how to take the little onesie off Shal, and then the diaper. It's nearly hysterical how Maxon seems so bewildered. We finally manage to put the diaper on and Maxon seems so pleased with himself when he completes it. I let out a laugh and Maxon turns to face me.

"What's so funny?"

"We'll see how much you love changing diapers, when there's two of them in the middle of the night."

"I can't wait."
