A month and a half later, Madison was in the hospital for her very last checkup before the due date in a few days of when her child was to be born. One morning she was talking to her doctor and he said, smiling, "I should mention this to you, now, Madison."
"What?" she asked suspiciouly

"it's just to prepare you so you dont freak out--"
"If you dont tell me now, Doctor! Then I will freak out!"
The doctor shifted his glasses then, still smiling, said, "you're going to have twins, and it seems that--"
Again, Madison interrupted him, "no! Dont tell me!"
"I was just going to say that the twins are healthy."
"Oh, sorry" she said trying to calm down, "I thought you were going to tell me the sexes of the children."
The doctor chuckled, "I know better than that, Madison. A woman in your condition would probably beat me severely and no jury would want to touch that so you'd get off scott free." he smiled, "so where is your husband?"
"Getting me pickle juice with some cheese. I've found dipping cheese into pickle juice is actually rather good!" she said happily, "Ephram seems to be on edge, has been for the last week because I keep having those fake contractions."

Just then, Ephram, looking tired, bounced into the room where Madison and the doctor were. He handed her the pickle juice and cheese.

The next day, Madison was in delivery, doped up on drugs, but still screaming at anything that moved. Ephram was trying to be calm, "breathe, Madison...hee hee, hee"

"Dont talk to me about breathing!" she screamed at him as she squeezed his hand. The doctor called Eprham over just as he saw a bald head coming out of his wife, Madison yelled, "We're having twins!" which, made Ephram faint, but it was a combination of other things as well."
"Father down" yelled a nurse unconcerned, which, in turn, another nurse rushed over to him and waved somehing in front of his nose. This made Ephram alert, but sort of disoriented, and just as he saw one of his children being handed to the nurse, he couldnt help but faint again. Before he did so, all he could say was, "girl!" and he fell again. Madison was yelling at him at this point in between her pushing and breathing, but he was gone, and instead of trying to awaken him again, one of the nurses dragged him onto a seat outside the delivery room.

When Ephram woke up, he was half sitting in a chair in the room where Madison was, holding the twins as Mama T and Quinn and Skylar were all piled around her. "Welcome back, Ephram!" cried Skylar, "Congratulations, man!"
Ephram quickly made his way to Madison, "I am so sorry! How long was I out?"
"Long enough to miss the delivery, but it's okay, Eph." she said smiling, "meet your daughters, Kieron Riley, and Randi Blayze Kellner-Brown."

Ephram was all smiles now as he picked up one of his daughters, "she's so perfect..." he said softly as he held the child in his arms for the very first time. He looked at Madison, "So I'm assuming, Jamey Ryan is going to be the name of our next kid?"

Mama T. chuckled, "hold them horses, son, you have plenty of years ahead of you to have more kids! You'll find that raising them is not all its cracked up to be. Dont get me wrong, though, it's a wonderful experience, but a lot of hard work."

Not too long afterwards, Ephram was left alone with his wife and the his newly born daughters. He kissed Madison longingly, letting her know she was the most beautiful person in the world.

"We can tell the twins apart by the little freckle on Kieron's left foot. Randi doesnt have that" replied Madison joyfully.

Ephram sat beside her bed, "identical twins...we'll have to color coordinate them for the first few years of their lives, you know, so we can tell them apart without looking at their feet." he chuckled.

Tears formed in Madison's eyes, "I'm a mommy!" she said as she gazed at her baby girls.

A few days later they were able to take the girls home and let them meet another member of the family; Sammy. He seemed intrigued at these little bald headed creatures that seemed to wiggle around every chance they got. As soon as Ephram had the chance, he took several pictures of his baby girls with his digital camera then downloaded them and sent them to his family in Colorado. He and Madison took the next couple of days off before the nanny came to work for them. It was hard leaving the twins, but after a couple more weeks, Madison got into this routine where she would go to work, come home for lunch and visit with her babies then head back to work for a few more hours then head home for the night. Their lives have definitely changed, it's hard work taking care of these two helpless children, but it's what motivates Madison and Ephram to become the best parents they could be. Just looking forward to the years to come excited the new parents, but of course, they were in the 'now' and were taking advantage of it. Ephram graduated from Julliard a few weeks before and now worked full time for the Mandolin Symphony.

(A/N; thanks for the reviews! thanks for the FYI, Couriro, I dont know much about that anyway, I'm just winging it! Definitely a huge thanks to everybody who provided me with a list of unisex names, hope you're not too disappointed with how I arranged them. Since I think that maybe the first few months of baby-ness could be boring, next chapter will be set even a few more months in advance. If I'm moving too fast just let me know! THANKS!!)
