"OK, what about Christopher?"

"Shortened to Chris?"

"Could do." Sophia looked up at him. They had gone out earlier and purchased as many baby name books they could find. Right now, most of them were the walls of Tobias's mini-fort. "Why do you insist on building things?"

"It's fun." He took the roof off of his project and flicked to a random page. "How about Finn?"

"Finn?" He nodded. "That's not bad actually." She glanced down at her book. "Evan?"

"Noah." He said instantly. He looked up. "You've seen Evan Almighty, right?"

"Yeah."

"Good, good. Dallas?"

"Why is picking a name so hard!?" Sophia protested, throwing her book down and folding her arms sulkily. Tobias had gotten used to the mood swings. He moved forward and sat next to her, pulling her into his arms.

"Do you want to try a girl's name?" He asked, kissing her cheek.

"Mmm…" She hummed. Tobias took that as a 'yes' and picked up the book she had thrown down. He flicked to the girls' names pages.

"Any of these?" He asked, showing her the first page.

"April's nice."

"Springy." He replied, flicking to the next page. She pointed.

"What about that one?" Tobias struggled to read it at first.

"B-l-a-i-s-e." He spelt. "Oh, Blaise. Isn't that a boys' name?" Sophia shrugged. "That could be a middle name then. I think."

"I'm hungry." She said suddenly.

"What'd you want?"

"Pineapple." She replied instantly. Tobias kissed her forehead and got up. Having figured out her craving was pineapples, he had gone out and made sure to have at least three in the fridge and canned slices of pineapple just in case. She preferred the fresh pineapples, but would eat the canned if she to.

"Tobias Junior."

"No!"

"Sophia Junior!"

"No!"

Tobias returned to her with fresh pineapple on a plate. She took it gratefully and smiled when she saw the two small smiley faces he had made out of the pineapple slices. "Thanks." He grinned and sat down behind her, his legs either side of hers. His hands went to her stomach, most likely in wait for the little twins to start kicking. Lately, when one kicked, the other kicked. Tobias had suggested they were fighting for room and it was an all-out battle for freedom. Sophia had bopped him on the head and called him an idiot.

"So… Chris, yeah?"

"It's nice." Sophia said, nudging his book fort with her foot. It collapsed.

"And there was me making pictures with your food to see you smile." He sighed, but there was a cheeky smile on his lips. His fingers laced with hers and he rested his head on her shoulder.

A few minutes passed in a comfortable silence. She had finished eating her pineapple and relaxed against him. Tobias started playing with her hair, making thin, yet pathetic plaits in her ponytail.

He almost had a panic attack when she burst into tears. "What's the matter?" He asked urgently, moving around her quickly and kneeling in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her close. "What's wrong, Soph?" She didn't answer, hugging him back and crying into his shoulder. He held onto her until her tears dried up a few minutes later. "Why the water works, Soph?" She shook her head and mumbled something about the pregnancy. Tobias rubbed her back reassuringly. "You sure?" She hesitated before nodding. "You can talk to me, Soph."

"I know." Tobias pulled a packet of tissues- another thing he had learnt to stock up on when her mood swings started. "Thanks." She wiped away her tears. Her blue eyes met his, shimmering with tears she was holding back. She studied his eyes, as if looking for something. "Aren't you scared?"

"Scared?" He frowned. "About having the twins?" She nodded. "Nervous is a better word." He tilted his head and looked at her curiously. "Why? What's the matter?"

"I'm scared." She said quietly. "I don't know if I-I can… if I can go through the whole…" She hesitated. "The whole giving birth bit…" Tobias gave a reassuring smile.

"Soph, if you can put up with me, you can do anything when you put your mind to it."

"You'll stay with me?" She asked.

"Always." He grinned, leaning forward to kiss her.

"Thank-you."
