Sian's POV

Sophie and I have been so focused on making a registry for the baby shower that we've been neglecting things around the house. I'm seven months pregnant and have been so tired lately. Sophie has been finishing up the nursery while I shop online for items for our baby. On our last doctor appointment, we got my official due date. We were both excited to finally have our baby in our arms.

The baby shower was scheduled for later on today, and boy was I ready for it. Sophie and I have already purchased the crib, changing table, and dresser. We got the bulk of the furniture bought, but it's the little things that still need to be bought. Doing the registry with Sophie made everything so surreal. She was there every step of the way telling me what she liked, what she wanted that would go with the theme, and would support everything I put on it. I couldn't have been more pleased with her. She's been the absolute best.

Sophie has been putting so much work into the nursery and into her job that I know she is tried. I tell her to rest and let me help, but she doesn't want me to lift a finger. We'll argue, but in the end she gives in. I do what I can, and it's better than letting Sophie do everything. Rosie came over to help me decorate, as well as two of my aunts. They are the only ones from my family that have stood by Sophie and myself. I know Sophie's parents aren't going to show up and neither will mine. They didn't approve of us being together and starting our family so we gave up on them. My aunts keep saying that our parents will come around, but neither Sophie nor I are holding much hope for them.

"Hey," stated Sophie, entering the kitchen.

"Hey," I stated, looking at her.

"What are you doing?" asked Sophie, kissing me.

"Just online shopping," I replied, returning the kiss.

"Find anything else we need for our peanut?" asked Sophie, rubbing my belly.

"Actually, I have," I stated, placing my hand on Sophie's.

"What is it?" asked Sophie, taking a seat next to me.

"I was thinking about these floating shelves. That way we can put up some pictures, toys, or books in them, and as they grow older they can put whatever they want in them," I replied, showing Sophie the picture.

"That's a good idea," stated Sophie, smiling.

"I know we don't need them yet, but I was just thinking that maybe in the future we can get someone," I replied, looking at Sophie.

"That's an amazing idea, Babe," replied Sophie, looking at me.

"How's the nursery coming along?" I asked, still looking at Sophie.

"All done. I just need to build the crib, but everything else is all set," answered Sophie, rubbing my back.

"You're amazing. I couldn't have done any of this without you," I stated, kissing her.

"I am always going to be here for you and our baby. I know I've been a little relentless about you doing anything, but I just don't want you to push yourself too hard that you'll have to be on bed rest. I want you to help me do everything, but my main goal is to make sure you and our baby are okay. I don't want anything to happen to you two," stated Sophie, looking at me.

"I know, Baby, but I can paint and help you build the furniture. I can read you the directions. Don't treat me like I'm helpless because I'm not. I know the fumes aren't good for me or the baby so I get that, but let me be a part of the decorating and assembly," I stated, looking at Sophie.

"I'm sorry I've been keeping you away. I promise you can be the boss with we have to assemble everything. I just wanted to get the paint done before you got to help me," Sophie said, still looking at me.

"Okay," I said, looking at the computer.

"Where are your aunts and Rosie?" asked Sophie, kissing my temple.

"Decorating. I've been afraid to check on them," I replied, laughing.

"Knowing them so am I," laughed Sophie.

"Let's go make sure we still have a backyard," I giggled, taking Sophie's hand into mine.

Sophie and I walked to the backyard and we were both speechless. The backyard was amazing. The tables were set up in a U-shape that no matter where you sat there was a few of the centerpiece. Each table had huge baby bottles filled with cookies, candies, and beads that matched the theme of the nursery. Apparently, they got word from Sophie about the nursery. When we reached the center table, I was nearly in tears. The cake was incredible. The photos Sophie and I took when we first found out I was pregnant were on the table, and then one I didn't know was taken was there as well. It was Sophie and I sleeping on the sofa with both our hands on my belly. Our happy little family. I walked up to my aunts and Rosie and thanked them with tears in my eyes. Nobody has ever done anything like this for Sophie and me, and to know we, actually, have family support is amazing.

Once everything was setup, we all got ready for the party. Sophie and Rosie went to get the food while my aunts helped me get ready. Guests started to arrive once Sophie and Rosie returned with the food. The people we had at the baby shower would be the people that would most likely be invited to our wedding once we had our family. The food was amazing, and everyone was having a blast. People were coming up to Sophie and I and congratulating us and asking if we knew the gender of our baby, but we told them the truth that it was a surprise. The truth be told, I knew what we were having. I needed to know, but I had to keep it a secret from Sophie. I wanted to tell her what we were having, but she just wanted it to be a surprised. I had a little surprise for her that would give her a hint of what we were having.

It was time to open the gifts and that was a long process. There was so much clothes that our baby would be all set for the first nine months of its life. Besides from clothes, we got bottles, pacifiers, bibs, diapers, toys, furniture, and a rocking chair from my aunts. I wanted to give Sophie her gift so I walked up to her and pulled her to sit in the seat. She was confused, but I just smiled at her. Rosie was in on the idea and so were my aunts. I had to tell someone since Sophie didn't want to know. I just hope she wasn't mad at me.

"Everyone can I have your attention please," I stated, looking at everyone. "I want to thank everyone for showing up today and for the gifts. It means so much to Sophie and I. I'm sure Sophie will be thanking you all for when she has to build the bassinet and other big items. I have a surprise for everyone, but mainly for my amazing wife. If it wasn't for you and everything that you have done for me and our child, I don't know what I would be doing with myself. You have been the most amazing person, and have been dealing with all my pregnancy hormones so well. I know we wanted the gender of the baby to be a surprise, but we all know I hate surprises. It has been the hardest thing for me to keep this from you, but I don't want to hide it anymore," I continued, handing Sophie her gift.

Sophie looked at me and at everyone at the party. They were all looking at her to open the gift. Sophie looked at Rosie who nodded her head in approval. I stood next to her and waited patiently. Sophie took a deep breath, and opened her gift. At first she was confused. She didn't understand what a monkey wearing a diaper meant. She went further in the bag and pulled out another monkey with a diaper on. Her confusion was presented clearly. I laughed at her. She looked in the bag again and pulled out a pirate bandana, a 'daddy's little slugger' one piece (everyone laughed at that one), a pack of boyish socks, a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal, a Minnie mouse stuffed animal, a 'mommy's little princess' one piece, and a pack of girly socks. The look on Sophie's face was priceless when she finally found out the secret. She stood up and hugged me tightly.

"We're having twins?!" asked Sophie, looking at me.

"Yes," I replied, smiling.

"How?" asked Sophie, smiling. "The pictures have been showing one baby."

"Looks like our little girl is shy. She's been hiding behind her brother," I stated, laughing.

"When did you find out?" asked Sophie, looking at me.

"Two weeks ago. I had to go in for blood work, and the doctor did another ultrasound and our little girl showed up. She said it wasn't unusually for second baby to develop a little later, but they are both very healthy. I wanted to show you this, but didn't know how too without letting it slip," I answered, showing Sophie the latest ultrasound photo.

"We're having twins," cried Sophie.

"We are," I cried, hugging Sophie.

"I love you. Thank you," whispered Sophie, kissing me.

"I love you, too. No, thank you," I whispered, returning the kiss.

Once everyone found out about the surprise, we continued the party a little longer. I already ordered two of everything with the help of Rosie and my aunts. I'm glad that Sophie is happy that we are having twins. I thought she would have freaked out, but she was as happy as I was when I found out the amazing news. It would be interesting to see which one of our babies would come out first. Would it be our little princess or would it be our little prince? Either way, I couldn't wait to hold them both in my arms.
