Chapter 36

Gwen shook her head while biting her bottom lip. "You know how you said you always wanted another child?"

Parker nodded his head. "Yeah."

"Well…" Gwendolyn hesitated. She wasn't sure how Parker was going to take the news. "Now you're getting two."

Parker's mouth dropped. "Twins?"

"Yup."

"You're carrying twins?"

"Yes."

"Two babies?"

"Isn't that what twins are?"

"And you're okay? You're still safe?"

"Yeah. It's a normal pregnancy. Nothing has changed. Well, except now we're having two babies."

"How far along are you?"

"Just shy of 4 months."

Parker did the math in his head. "4 months…that's…"

"Niagara Falls. When you almost didn't want to have sex…with me."

Parker shook his head, trying to grasp the situation. "It's a good thing you were persistent."

"Yeah. It's a good thing."

"Is that why you're so big?"

Gwen raised her eyebrows, and Parker realized his mistake. "I meant beautiful. Stunning. Dazzling."

"Uh-huh, right."

"Sweetheart, I love you."

"I know."

Parker smiled. "You know, you're not showing that much."

"Stop talking."

The first person that Gwen had called with the news was Emmett, then Shane, then Alfred. Her favourite three men were taken care of. Emmett was excited, now he was going to have two nieces or nephews to tease instead of one. Shane was a little detached. He would find it hard to interact with the babies as he wasn't really fond of children. Both brothers would make great Uncles though.

Gwen had wanted to call Ed and Roy but knew that Parker would want to do that himself. They had agreed on telling Dean together when he visited in one week time. Gwen was nervous about meeting Dean for the first time, but of course, she wasn't meeting him for the first time. Her memory still hadn't returned, and Gwen was okay with that. She was simply not thinking about it anymore, or if a situation came up that caused her to be reminded of her memory loss, the results were getting easier and easier to handle.

Gwen tried not to eavesdrop on Ed and Parker's conversation, and so far it was working. Ed, however, had different plans and had wanted to speak to Gwen after he had finished talking to Parker.

Grabbing the phone from Parker, Gwen answered, "Hello Ed."

"So, what do I get to call my nieces or nephews? What names have you discussed?" Ed immediately asked.

"We haven't done that yet." Gwen was careful with what she said, as Parker was a few feet from her.

"Greg didn't bring it up," Ed asked.

"Not yet."

"That doesn't mean he isn't thinking about names."

Gwen smiled. "I haven't thought about any…not something definite that I like yet."

"You've got time."

"Yeah. Time."

"Our kids can play together now," Ed said, offhand.

"Yeah. Clark and Dean, and your little princess and my little boys or girls." When Gwen had finished saying this, Parker's head snapped in her direction. The ultrasound couldn't tell if the twins were boys or girls yet. It was too early.

Ed smiled. "Soph can't wait to be an Aunt."

Gwen chuckled. "I know. What about you? You're going to be an uncle."

"I'm going to be the best Uncle."

Gwen knew that Ed was competitive, and didn't want her children to love one Uncle more than the others. "Of course you will be. Ed, the babies will love you."

One more chapter to upload. It will be up in a few days. Cheers.
