Yes I know another long wait and I am so, so, so, SO sorry! This chapter was supposed to be longer but life caught up once again. Enjoy.
Three months had flown by, both Andie and Ronnie moaning and groaning about how they could no longer get up without help as well as a few other things. One particular night, long after Gibbs and Andie had gone to bed, the phone began to ring. It rang a couple times before Andie sleepily got up and answered. "Hello?" she yawned, her eyes half closed.
"Andie?" Ronnie said, somewhat shakily from the other end. Her voice sounded winded, as though she'd been running. "Ronnie? Sweetie what's wrong?" she asked, shaking her husband awake. A muffled sound came from Ronnie as she spoke to Brodie, "No hun, that one..." She said, before her voice sounded back through the mouthpiece again, "Can you keep Timmy for me? Brodie and I are heading to the hospital in a few minutes." A painful muffled groan came from Ronnie's end, as though she'd covered the phone.
Andie was wide awake now. "Ronnie what's going on? Why are you going to the hospital?" she said as she pulled herself out of bed, pulling on her robe. Gibbs was looking at her with sleepy confusion until he heard the word hospital and was out of bed and out the door before Andie made it halfway down the stairs. Ronnie chuckled softly. "It's nothing to worry about, love just a bundle of joy deciding to visit the world." She said, trying to do breathing exercises in between words.
"Isn't it a little early?" Andie asked, worried. She finally made it down the stairs and to the door. Giggling, Ronnie replied, "It is, which is why we're going to the hospital, but we'll be alright. We're both healthy going in this time." She said happily. "True..." she said softly, poking her head out the door seeing Gibbs with Timmy. "You'll keep me updated right?" Ronnie walked out her front door and waved. "I'll have mom update you, I doubt I'll be able to." She said and laughed. Brodie ran out from behind her with a small duffel bag, threw it in the car then came back and helped Ronnie to the car.
"You know what I meant." Andie said chuckling and rolling her eyes. "You tell Lord Clueless to drive safely now!" she smiled. Ronnie snickered. "Since I hit my seventh month he's been driving ten miles an hour anywhere we go!" She cried, climbing into the car and getting her seatbelt on. "Well, we're on our way, so I'll have mom call you later with news. Love you!" "Love you too!" She smiled, waving as they drove off before hanging up the phone. "Girl's gonna give me a heart attack..."
Ronnie smiled and waved as they drove away. Andie Sighed and took Timmy from Gibbs. "Hi Timmy-bear...let's get you back to sleep." she said, chuckling softly as Timmy blinked at her sleepily. "Mumumum..." He mumbled. Gibbs smiled. "Where should we put him tonight?" He asked Andie. "We'll start him out in the nursery but if he fusses we'll probably have to keep him with us." she said softly. Gibbs nodded and led the way, turning on the little teddy bear lamp on top of the dresser as he walked in, and pulled the little blanket down in the crib. Andie smiled as she laid Timmy down in the crib, singing softly.
Gibbs smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. She smiled up at him, one hand rubbing her tummy softly. "Just think...only one more month and we'll be chasing after a little hellion of our own." Gibbs smiled softly and nodded. "That we will." He whispered. "Well...we should probably head back to bed. It'll be a while before we hear anything about Ronnie." she sighed. Nodding, Gibbs ruffled Timmy's hair softly and took Andie's hand, leading her back to their room. She yawned softly, following him across the hall and turning on the baby monitor as they left the room and went back to bed.
Once again, Andie was wakened by the phone hours later. She reached over to the bedside table and grabbed it. "Hello?" she yawned. "Andie? It's Rene." Ronnie's mom said softly over the phone. "Hey, how is she?" Andie said, sitting up. "Well, everyone is doing fine, they sent the babies to the nursery and Ronnie is asleep." She said happily. "Wait...babies? As in more than one?" Andie squealed, causing Gibbs to jump awake. "Wha...?" he mumbled before he buried his head in his pillow and went back to sleep.
Rene sputtered, "Wh-I-...I thought you all knew! I thought Ronnie seemed surprised..." She said. "Well damn!" Andie laughed. "Well that explains why she was bigger than me. Twins?" she asked, getting up out of bed. A small laugh came from the phone. "Yeah, twins. One girl, one boy." Rene said. "Ronnie is sleeping now." "How's Brodie?" she asked softly. Rene laughed harder. "He's asleep too!" She said. "He konked in the chair a few minutes after everything was cleaned up and done!" Andie laughed and shook her head. "That doesn't surprise me..." "How's Timmy?" Rene asked.
Andie peeked into the nursery, seeing Timmy standing up in the crib. "He's fine, just woke up it looks like." "Alright, well, I should let you go." Rene said. "I'm going to check on Ronnie, I'll call you if anything else happens." "Alright, talk to you later." she said, hanging up and picking Timmy up out of the crib. "Good morning Timmy-bear." She smiled, settling him on her hip. Timmy patted her shoulder and smiled. "Mumum? Anny mum!" He cried, flailing around looking for Ronnie.
"Mommy is at the doctor. We'll be able to go see her later ok?" she said softly. Timmy nodded and laid his head on her shoulder. "Anny 'oons! 'Oons!" He patted her arm. "Ok buddy, let's go." she smiled, carrying him down the stairs and going into the living room. She turned on the TV and chuckled as The Backyardagains came on. "This good?" Squealing Timmy picked up a toy he'd left there before and smiled. Gibbs came down the stairs just then and Timmy gave him a scowl. Gibbs scowled back and they both laughed.
Andie chuckled and shook her head. "You two..." she smiled. "Ok Timmy I'm gonna go make breakfast now." she said, kissing his forehead. He shrieked. "Fwaps fwaps!" Using his grandpa's word for flapjacks. She laughed and nodded. "Righty-o Timmy-bear." she said as she went into the kitchen. Gibbs grinned and high five Timmy. "Good man." He said and sat down to watch him. Andie smiled, watching them from the kitchen as she made breakfast. "Alright boys, time to eat." she said, once everything was done.
Gibbs scooped Timmy up, the little boy squealing and laughing as he was twirled through the air, and brought him to the kitchen. "Look at that, Auntie Andie made us breakfast!" Gibbs said. Andie smiled and set down the plates of food, pulling the highchair close to the table. "So that was Ronnie's mom on the phone..." she grinned. Gibbs set Timmy in the chair and buckled him in. "Oh? What did she have to say?" He asked. "Things went well. Twins." she said, setting some cut up flapjacks on the tray. Gibbs flashed her a look. "Twins?" He asked, shocked. "A boy and a girl." she nodded. "Rene though we all knew." she chuckled. Sitting down, Gibbs shook his head. "Wow, she is going to have her hands full." He said.
"That she is. I figure I'll call in a few hours and see if we can bring Timmy over to see them." she said, sitting down and starting to eat. Gibbs dug into his breakfast and nodded. "Good idea, I'll call Tony and have him pick up some groceries for them." "And I'll call Abby and do some emergency shopping because they're going to need double of what they have." she chuckled. "I'm sure poor Ronnie was shocked as hell." Chuckling, Gibbs continued to eat. Timmy munched happily on his pancakes and smiled at them both.
Andie smiled and continued munching on her eggs and pancakes and sausage. Once finished with breakfast Andie put the dishes in the dishwasher and grabbed her phone to call Abby.
