A/N : Once again thanks for all the reviews and also fave/follows on this.
I do apologise for the delay in getting a new chapter of this up - kind of had a block with it, and also as well had too many ideas floating around my head for other stories that I am writing and got caught up on those.
Some good news though, my computer is now OK! Whoot! But then the day I was getting my computer fixed, my phone decided to die on me! GRRRR! Not sure at the moment if it's completley dead or if it's just the battery, which is easily fixed! So hoping it's the battery, because I really liked the phone that I had, and the one that I have for the time being is a cheap one and doesn't have the memory or battery capacity of the other, so it means less apps which I need on it.
So anyway here is the next chapter - have to say I am not 100% happy with it, but it is what it is; and I hope you all like it at least. Because it is kind of maybe setting some things up as to what will happen over the next few chapters.
You all know what to do at the end, review and if you haven't yet fave or follow this!
Love KJ xoxoxo
Chapter 55 –
With Rachel and Puck now living outside of New York, and Mikki and Blaine getting ready to be parents. The six friends weren't catching up with one another as often as they use too, and although Rachel knew that her friends couldn't drop their work and their lives to be able to hang out with her, since she was now no longer close by, it meant that her days when she was out doing stuff with Elisabeth were that of the quiet side.
On one Friday though, Rachel had to take Elisabeth to get her vaccinations and also have a general checkup, so that meant that when heading into the city in the morning for work; Puck also took Rachel in as well, since he would most days take the car for work as it meant lesser travel time for him.
After finishing up at the pediatrician, Rachel who hadn't taken the car since it would be hard to find parking in the city, headed to Mikki's office building, since she was most likely the one who was able to talk whilst she was there for the day.
Going up to the floor on which the advertising agency was located, she walked into the office and went over to Sugar on reception.
"Hi Sugar" she said, as she approached the desk pushing Elisabeth in her stroller.
"Rachel, hey" replied Sugar, with a big smile.
"I was wondering if Mikki was in?" asked Rachel.
Sugar nodded. "She is"
"Okay, I might just go and say hi. I was in the city today because I had to take Elisabeth for a checkup" replied Rachel.
"Sure, go on through" said Sugar. "Just as long as I get to have baby cuddles though"
Rachel looked at the receptionist and laughed. "Sure, you can have a cuddle whilst I go and annoy Mikki"
"Really?" asked Sugar.
Rachel nodded and got her daughter out of the stroller. "Although she is a little on the cranky side, as she had to have some needles today"
"Ohh, poor Elisabeth" said Sugar, as Rachel handed her daughter over to her. "I know how horrible that is, I hate them too"
Elisabeth looked at Sugar and then her mom and started to cry.
"Oh sweetie it's okay. Mumma's here" said Rachel.
"Awww, come on I won't hurt you. I promise" said Sugar.
Elisabeth looked at her and then back to Rachel and then back to Sugar, as she stopped crying.
"See there, I promise I don't have any mean pointy things, 'kay" said Sugar.
"Her blankey is there in her stroller if she cries more, that calms her" said Rachel.
Sugar nodded. "I got this, go and say hi to Mikki. She can probably do with a break, I haven't seen her all morning since she got here"
"Okay" replied Rachel, and looked at Elisabeth. "Mumma's not far, promise"
"Can you wave to your mumma?" asked Sugar, as Rachel headed in the direction of Mikki's office, trying to show Elisabeth how to wave.
Elisabeth just put her hand up though and not moving it in a wave and Sugar laughed. "Closer enough"
Rachel headed to Mikki's office, and saw that the door was closed and she knocked on it.
"It's open" came Mikki's reply from inside.
"Hi" said Rachel, as she opened the door.
Mikki who was sitting at her desk, working on something on the computer, looked at her.
"Hey Rach" she replied, taking off her glasses. "This is a nice surprise"
"Yeah, I was in the city and thought I would pop by and say hi" replied Rachel.
"And Elisabeth is where?" asked Mikki, with a laugh.
Rachel laughed. "Out front with Sugar, getting cuddles from her"
"Of course" replied Mikki, with a nod. "I know she's excited for the possibility of me bringing in my two when they are born, because that means when I am holding one, she can have another to hold"
Rachel laughed. "Sounds like Sugar is getting a little clucky"
Mikki nodded. "Yep, and believe me we've all been dropping hints to Seb that he got to propose to her already"
"Definitely, I agree" said Rachel.
Mikki stifled a yawn and laughed. "Sorry, just been working on this proposal for a new campaign for the past four hours and I am so over it"
"Well did you maybe want to go and grab some lunch, I could really do with the company, and we could catch up and talk" said Rachel.
"You know that actually sounds really good, because I could do with a Roast Beef sandwich with a lot of horseradish" said Mikki.
Rachel laughed. "Cravings?"
"Yep, don't you just love them" replied Mikki, with a laugh as she stood.
"Hmm, I don't know about that, it made me want to eat meat when I was pregnant with Elisabeth, and now I don't want to stop eating it" said Rachel.
"Can't be any worse than some of mine lately" replied Mikki, as she put on her jacket and grabbed her handbag from the floor.
"Why what have you been craving?" asked Rachel.
"The other night I had a bowl of ice cream with tuna and chocolate sauce" replied Mikki.
"Oh my god, that's disgusting" said Rachel, with a laugh.
"Hmm, I know Blaine thought so also. But it is what the twins wanted" said Mikki, with a laugh as well.
"Just as long as you promise not to eat anything like that for lunch" said Rachel, with a smile.
"I can't hold any promises, on what these two might be wanting when we get there" replied Mikki, with a laugh. "Shall we go"
"Yes, let's go and grab some lunch and get you that Roast Beef sandwich before they want something more disgusting" said Rachel, as the two of them headed out of her office and back to the reception area.
Sugar was sitting at her desk with Elisabeth on her lap, and the little girl was pointing to the computer screen that she had.
"Are you making my little girl do your work?" asked Rachel, with a laugh.
Sugar looked to her and laughed also. "No, she's fascinated with the fish screen saver"
"Really?" asked Mikki.
Sugar nodded. "I must admit I can spend hours looking at it as well. We really need to get a fish tank here in the office, that would be awesome"
"Sure, just as long as you're the one to run it past the guys" replied Mikki.
"Okay, yeah I will" replied Sugar, standing up and going back to Rachel and handing her Elisabeth.
"Then we can come and visit some really fishy, Lissy how about that" said Rachel, as she took her daughter and place a kiss to her cheek.
Elisabeth looked at her and then to Mikki and pointed at her.
"Yeah, that's Aunty Mikki isn't it" said Rachel, looking at her daughter with a laugh as she placed her back into the stroller so that they could head to lunch.
"So, Rach and I are going to go and get something to eat" said Mikki, looking to Sugar. "I should be back in about an hour"
"Take all the time you want" replied Sugar.
"Well I can't exactly do that, I do have to finish the concept art for the campaign I am working on" replied Mikki.
"Okay, well just make sure you're not working too hard" said Sugar.
"Yeah, thanks" replied Mikki, with a laugh.
"It was good to see you again Sugar" said Rachel, as she placed her hands onto the stroller.
"You too, and remember you are always welcome here with this little cutie" she replied.
Rachel laughed. "So you can have baby cuddles"
Sugar nodded. "Yes that"
"Okay, I'll see you in about an hour Sug" said Mikki.
"Sure" replied Sugar, as she headed back around to her desk.
"See you" said Rachel, and she and Mikki headed off to have lunch together.

That night, Mikki was cooking dinner and Blaine was sitting at the kitchen table on one of their laptops, paying bills.
"They've taken the money out of your account for the stroller, Michi" said Blaine, as he went through the banking website, for paying bills.
"Yeah, I got an email from them saying that it should be here in a couple of days" replied Mikki, as she added the vegetables into the stir fry.
"And it was getting delivered to you at work, right?" asked Blaine.
"Uh huh" replied Mikki, with a nod.
"Okay, well when it does get here I will come and pick it up from there" replied Blaine.
"Well I should hope so, because I am not going to be bringing it home" said Mikki, with a laugh as the door to their apartment opened and Sam walked in.
"Hey guys, I got some of your mail again" he said, as he walked over to Blaine at the table.
"We seriously must have a new mailman, because this is happening so often" said Blaine.
"Well either that or Evans is stealing our mail because he thinks there might be something good in it" replied Mikki with a laugh.
"I really don't want your bills" replied Sam with a laugh.
"Yeah, and why am I not surprised that all of this is for Mikki" said Blaine, with a laugh.
"Because your wife has an online shopping addiction" said Sam.
"Yep, I do" replied Mikki, with a laugh as she turned down the stir fry to a simmer and went over to them and picked up the mail that Sam had bought over and opened it.
"So anything interesting?" asked Blaine.
"Unless you find ribbon interesting" replied Mikki.
"This isn't some kinky thing you have going on, that we don't want to be knowing about?" asked Sam.
Mikki looked at him and laughed. "No, I was talking with Rachel the other week and said something about making up some headbands for Elisabeth"
"What did you possibly even think the ribbon was for Sam?" asked Blaine, looking to his friend.
"Just other stuff" he replied, with a laugh.
"Gross" said Blaine, shaking his head.
"Yeah, so I got to go and get to work" said Sam.
"Okay, thanks man" said Blaine.
"Not a problem" replied Sam. "And we'll totally catch up over the weekend and play some video games"
"Sounds like a plan" said Blaine, with a nod.
"See you Sam, and thanks for bringing this lot over" said Mikki.
"Sure just stop buying so much" he replied with a laugh.
"That is never going to happen, dude" said Blaine, as Mikki shook her head.
"Yeah, later guys" said Sam, and headed over to the still open apartment door and left.
"So this going to be a thing, and you will make hairbows and that if we have a girl also" said Blaine.
"Hmm, maybe" replied Mikki, with a laugh and then went back over to the stir fry to finish the cooking of dinner, whilst Blaine continued on with the banking and other stuff on his laptop.

Later that evening, Mikki and Blaine were watching a movie on television; and Mikki was having a hard time getting comfortable on the sofa.
"Everything okay?" asked Blaine, with a laugh as Mikki moved on to the sofa lower trying to find a more comfortable position to sit.
"I'm just having sharp stabbing like pains" replied Mikki.
"Michi, why didn't you say anything before?" asked Blaine.
Mikki looked at him. "Because they're just Braxton Hicks, it's not like they are actual labour pains"
"You don't know that, it could be something else" replied Blaine.
"I'm positive it's nothing, they don't even last more than five seconds" she replied.
"I still think we should go to the hospital and have them checked out though" said Blaine.
"But I have just gotten into a comfortable position" replied Mikki.
"Aren't you the slightest bit concerned that it could be something else?" asked Blaine.
"Maybe, I guess" she replied.
"Okay then, so let's go" said Blaine, standing from the sofa and holding out his hand to Mikki and helping her up from it.
"I still think you're completely overreacting, but sure let's go" said Mikki, and went and grabbed her handbag; and then she and Blaine headed to the hospital to ensure that everything was okay with their babies.

A little while later, Mikki had been given a room in the hospital and was lying on the bed in there, with Blaine sitting in the chair beside her.
Doctor St. Pierre who was also Mikki's doctor, having been recommended to her by Rachel; came into the room and walked over to the bed.
"Hi Mikayla, how's it all going here?" he asked, as he also pulled along with the ultrasound machine.
"It's good, I think I've been experiencing Braxton Hicks, although Blaine won't believe that's what they are and he insisted that we come here" replied Mikki.
"Well are the pains short and non frequent?" asked Doctor St. Pierre.
Mikki nodded. "It's like a nanosecond of discomfort, like a sharp stabbing pain and then it stops"
"Okay, well they definitely sound like Braxton's. But let's take a look on the ultrasound machine and make sure that everything is okay" said Doctor St. Pierre as he got the probe and placed some of the conductive gel on to it.
Mikki lifted up the bottom of her shirt and Doctor St. Pierre, placed the probe on to her stomach and moved it around.
"Is everything okay?" asked Blaine.
Doctor St. Pierre looked at him and nodded. "Everything looks fine"
"Okay, that's good then" replied Blaine, as he took Mikki's hand and smiled at her.
"And I told him this" said Mikki with a laugh.
"Yes, well maybe starting to ease up on what you are doing might be a good idea" said Doctor St. Pierre.
"You mean work wise and that?" asked Mikki.
Doctor St. Pierre nodded. "I take it you're still working full days at the moment?
"I am" replied Mikki.
"Well maybe see if you can cut it down to maybe three days per week, just so you're not putting stress on yourself, which could be what is causing you to get the Braxton's" said Doctor St. Pierre.
"I can do that" replied Mikki, with a nod.
"And is there anything I can be doing?" asked Blaine.
Doctor St. Pierre looked to him. "Firstly don't panic, if Mikki does have the Braxton's; it's normal and her bodies way of getting ready for the birth. Especially in the case of twins"
Blaine looked at him and nodded.
"And just both of you enjoy these last few months, because very soon you are going to have two little ones to care for" said Doctor St. Pierre with a laugh.
"Yes, well that can't come soon enough for either of us" said Blaine.
"Hmm and my cousin's little boy is also very excited about the prospect of becoming a big cousin as well" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"Well if you're interested I can tell you what you will be having" said Doctor St. Pierre.
Mikki looked at Blaine. "I know we said we didn't want to be knowing, but I kind of do want to know"
Blaine nodded. "Yeah, I kind of want to know as well"
"So yeah then?" asked Doctor St. Pierre.
"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod.
"Okay so you're having..." said Doctor St. Pierre as he moved the probe around on Mikki's stomach, and proceeded to tell them what the sex of their babies would be.
#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#
The next day, Rachel and Puck were in the city again and meeting the others at the coffee shop so they could all catch up.
Kurt who had been busy for most of the morning, and yet to come and ask them what they were wanting, finally came over to them.
"Hi guys, sorry. It's just been one of those days" he said, as he looked at the six of them. "So usuals?
"Yep, sounds good" said Sam.
"Could you make my mine a lemon balm tea if you have something like that?" asked Mikki.
Kurt looked at her. "Sure you don't want a hot chocolate?"
Mikki shook her head. "No the doctor said last night, tea would be better"
"Okay, well five of the usuals and then also one lemon balm coming up" said Kurt.
"Thanks Kurt" replied Rachel, as he headed back over to the counter to make up their orders.
"Was everything okay last night?" asked Brittany, looking to her friend.
"Yeah it was fine" replied Blaine.
"It's just you said you went to the doctors" said Brittany.
"Actually it was the hospital and it was because Blaine was completely over reacting and didn't believe me on the fact that I was having Braxton Hicks contractions" said Mikki.
"Well that's normal I got some in my third trimester as well" replied Rachel.
"Hmm and considering I am pretty much closing in on that trimester and there is two of them in here" said Mikki, placing her hand on to her stomach. "Then I think it's safe to say they are now fighting one another for space in there"
"Well we know which one of them is the bossy one" said Blaine.
"Yes, we do" replied Mikki with a laugh.
"But that's generally how it is with twins, one is more prone to be the boss and the other not so much" said Sam.
"Pretty much and considering that Mikki is the bossy one in our relationship, I'm not surprised by which one seems to be bossy with our children" said Blaine.
"I am not bossy" replied Mikki, hitting him lightly.
"Bossy and just like that baby inside here" said Blaine, placing his hand on her stomach also. "Always hitting"
Mikki looked at him and frowned, and Blaine laughed and kissed her.
"But I still love you" he replied.
"Hmmm" said Mikki, with a pout.
"So if I am reading between the lines correctly here, does that mean you know what you're having" said Puck.
"We do, yeah" replied Blaine.
"Ohhh, tell us. Please tell us" said Brittany, with a huge smile.
"Should be tell them?" asked Mikki, looking to Blaine.
"I think so, yeah. I really want them to know" replied Blaine.
"And it's fair too, you all knew what I was having" said Rachel.
"Okay, so we're having..." said Mikki and the she and Blaine, let the others in on what their babies genders were going to be.
End Note: Thoughts or ideas on what is going to happen!? Some could say that I am being a little harsh on Mikki, since she doesn't seem to be having an easy run with being pregnant. First one she miscarriages and then the second one she is having things like Braxton Hicks and is told to slow down.
But as said it is setting something up that will be happening in the next few chapters; and besides it would be boring to write if I wrote that Mikki also has a seemingly hassle free pregnancy, since I wrote that Rachel's was pretty much drama free.
And I do know, what the twins will be and even have the names now picked out for them - but I am not going to divulge as to the sexes of them. Although there is a kind of hint there in the chapter as to what they could be, if you were to look closely!
Next chapter should be up soon - and it's going to feature a lot more of Sam. Feel as if I have kind of neglected him lately and also Brittany. Is that maybe a foreshadowing hint also?!
Guess you will have to wait and see!
Until next time,
Love to you all,
KJ xoxoxoxox
