Thanks for reviewing everyone!

Kelly: So excited it was you on Tumblr (lol) haven't exactly come upon anyone from both sites before. So glad you liked the chapter. I have never experienced pregnancy so I've done like major research to get it somewhat or close to right. I had to write about it for my other Gadge stories as well- turns out everyone loves Hawthorne and Mellark children.

Rory slumped against the headboard and glared at the door. He could hear Mari and Wynn in the next room, laughing. Why wouldn't Gale just admit that Rory was old enough to host Nixie in his room? HE got onto the floor on hands and knees. He flipped open his suitcase and rummaged through his various clothes items. He pulled out the pack and stuffed it in the back of his nightstand drawer.

Nixie shut her door quietly behind her. She stretched her arms behind her and entered the clean living room, the light was bright and she could smell breakfast.

"Good Morning!" Madge grinned coming around the corner from the pantry. She was holding the salt and pepper shakers.

"Good Morning" Nixie said tapping her heels together and looked up the stairs, her smile faltering, as she walked closer to the kitchen.

"Oh- go wake him up" Madge winked

"But Gale said"

"Shhh! He's in the shower, hurry!" Madge waved her hand in the direction of the stair and waddled back to the stove

Nixie carefully walked up the stairs. She paused outside the bathroom door, unable to hear the water running. She held her breath, and closed her eyes. She swayed slightly and the floor creaked beneath her right foot as she steadied herself. The sound of pressured water filled the hall and she let out a gasp. She opened her eyes and continued to creep up to the second guest room.

The door was open a crack. She pressed a hand against the doorframe, taking an inhale of breath; she opened it slowly, praying that there were no squeaky hinges. She maneuvered her body around the door frame and danced lightly on her feet into the room. Rory had his bare back to her and Nixie was letting herself enjoy the view.

She bit her lip to keep from giggling and walked up to him cautiously. He moved his arm across his chest, pulling on them and she stopped, trying not to catch the corner of his eye. She snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around his middle.

"I love your sister- in- law" she giggled and set a trail of kisses across his shoulder blades before resting her head there. He tensed for a second and then turned towards her, grinning.

"More than you love me?" Rory said with mock hurt and kissed her forehead, losing his fingers in her dark wavy hair. Nixie leaned over to the bed and snatched a t-shirt, unfolding it. "You really want me to put that on?" he asked and pressed her into the wall.

Her breath caught, "it's for the best, and your brother will be getting out of the shower soon"

"If you think so" he said huskily and pulled it over his floppy hair. They stood together for a moment, challenging each other to make a move. Rory gave out and his lips came crashing down on hers. Nixie couldn't stop the smile from appearing on her lips. Her boyfriend couldn't resist his either and they broke away. Nixie moved back and bounced down onto the bed, feeling the red quilt with one hand. Rory cleared his throat, "You know when you look out at the ocean and it disappears from sight. Like it never ends, like there is nothing beyond it, like there is nothing there but ocean and infinity and life?"

Nixie looked up at him with surprise, "yes?" she said enchanted by the severity in his eyes,

"That's how much I love you" he whispered. There were no more words between them; there was nothing else to say.

The couple slipped from the room right when the water shut off in the bathroom. Rory and Nixie sat down simultaneity at the table, while Madge tried to bustle along the counter space.

"Madge- can I help you with something?" Nixie and Rory said at the same time. She looked up from her work and shook her head,

"No it's alright" she said brightly. The two exchanged confused glances but didn't push her. Gale came down the stairs, going right to the mother of his children. He leaned over and kissed his wife's cheek while drifting his hand across her stomach.

Madge turned and captured his lips. They breathed in each other's scent deeply and sighed, forgetting the company in the room. Madge wrapped her arms around Gale's neck and pulled on the longer hairs on his head. Rory cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows at Nixie.

The couple didn't acknowledge the sound. Mari and Wynn came down the stairs, dressed, and stopped. Giving Rory and Nixie a look of peer surprise, the young couple shrugged. Rory couldn't have been more uncomfortable at this moment.

"Guys" Mari said, clapping her hands together. Madge's eyes snapped open and she blushed pulling on her straightened blonde hair. Gale pecked her cheek and ignored the situation as he passed the food to Rory from the counter.

After breakfast the family gathered in the living room, taking seats around each other, "Can we see it now?" Mari demanded and stomped her foot on the ground.

"Now?" Madge giggled and ran a hand across her forehead, "you can't wait?"

"I had to stop her from entering the bedroom- twice- this morning" Wynn said, rolling his eyes. Madge sighed and looked over at a very hopeful Nixie and Mari.

"After I get dressed" It was getting harder to walk up the stairs now. She disappeared into the closet and closed the door behind her. She stripped herself of the bright pink robe and her little mint green nightgown, just throwing them onto the floor.

Madge stood in the mirror moving side to side. Madge could almost swear she had gotten bigger, and she didn't think that was possible. She pulled on a large argyle dark purple and light green sweater. She moved her hands to her stomach as her boys started poking and prodding her middle.

She hid her stomach away slightly with a denim jacket and a wool light green infinity scarf. Her tender stomach no longer liked the tightness of jeans so she opted for elastic light washed jeggings. Her hair was brought back into a messy bun and was clipped by a small peacock feathered clip.

Everyone was probably waiting like puppies outside the nursery door. She turned to leave but she ran right into someone, "Oh jeez, sorry babe" her husband said as he pulled a few surprised tears away from her eyes, she laughed.

"It's no big deal" She went to move around him but he took her hand and pulled her back to him. Gale smiled mischievously, grabbing her hips and moving her closer to him, "Gale" she whispered, trying to get out of his grasp.

"What?" he asked huskily. She crinkled her nose and looked away as he leaned in for a kiss.

"You can't seduce me" she whispered but she had already stopped struggling, subconsciously walking them towards the bedroom door. He leaned forward and bit her bottom lip gently. She molded against him her stomach pressing awkwardly into his toned stomach. She felt the boys shift within her.

Instinctively bringing a hand to meet the movement, she lifted her hand away from Gale's hair and pressed against the writhing twins' force. Gale noticed her uncomfortable expression and stepped back, touching her stomach in the same way. Her ducked and looked into her eyes, searching for another expression.

"You alright?" he asked, "you're not having contractions, right?" he said with a little panic threading through his calm question. Madge didn't answer immediately, "Madge?" he swallowed and began to pick up a sweat.

"No, your son's are just having a party"

"My sons" he whispered in awe. Madge laughed and shook her head at him, "sorry I just haven't heard it like that yet"

"What?" Madge giggled and looked softly at her husband. Gale shrugged,

"You know- I've heard children, babies, boys, kids, twins but I haven't heard sons"

"Gale" she said and took his hand, moving it onto bare stretching flesh. He felt the movement of little feet or fists and looked at her, "they're our sons" he smiled nervously and brushed a loose curl behind her ear.

Reviewwww Please :P

Oh also- if you haven't figured this out yet- extending to a few more chapters before Flint and Will are welcomed to the world.
