A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while, sorry. But things have been hectic around here with volunteering at City Hall, maintaining a semi-decent social life, finding time to talk and go out with mi novio, and still not neglect my family. So yeah, hard times. Anyway, enjoy, and review. –Lauren.

Chapter 15

"Whoa! Where'd you get those knockers?" Adam said, staring at my chest. In response CeeCee dutifully smacked him, and gave me a big hug.

"Suze you look so beautiful" she mumbled into my hair.

I hadn't seen CeeCee and Adam since my baby shower; since they're currently in the process of moving from San Francisco and buying their first home down here. Adam looked exactly the same; goofy yet cute in a dorky way. Cee on the other hand, had a noticeable glow about her.

"Adam if you don't leave now, you're going to miss your appointment with Dr. Cheung" Cee chirped knowingly.

"Oh, alright, I can see I'm interrupting 'Girl Time.' Bye Suze, later Cee" he said quickly pecking his wife, before bolting out the door.

"Why is his doctor's appointment so important?" I asked, a little concerned.

"Well, he's been really stressed lately, cause of moving and selling, and buying. And well, the other night, he had a little accident."

"Accident?" I asked, slightly raising my eyebrow.

"We were…you know…and I think he might have like pulled a muscle or something, because…well…he hasn't been his best, lately" CeeCee explained.

"Oh, dang, what were you two doing that made him pull a muscle? I mean, are you into that 'wild, let's do it everywhere thing'?"

CeeCee laughed, and then said "No, no it's not that, he just got a little too excited, and…never mind."

I chuckled lightly, but went on to another personal subject. "So, how far along are you?" I questioned wisely.

"Wh-what? How…how do you…how?"

Again I laughed, but quickly regained my composure. "Cee, you've got that 'I've been puking my guts out all morning, but everything's perfect because I'm pregnant' glow."

"Really? Adam is starting to get a little worried. He thinks I might have like the stomach flu or something."

I went into a little fit of giggles after that, because despite what a great doctor Jesse is, he thought the exact same thing about me. "When are you gonna tell him?"

"Well, I'm positive I'm pregnant, but I haven't taken a test yet, so I figured I'd take it and leave it out for him to see or something."

"Oh, good one. Jesse found out after all the nurses in his department threw me a surprise baby shower in their lounge. Apparently they're all really close to the nurses in my doctor's office which happens to be in Jesse's building, and they'd all been saying for months about how we needed to start cranking out some kids."

CeeCee laughed, and then led me over to the couch in the living room, where we talked about everything baby related. She even helped me find some good name options for the twins; for the girl, Daphne or Rachel, and for the boy, Miguel or Luis. Then we found names for CeeCee to choose from. For girl; Rebecca, Diane, or Laura, and for a boy; Thomas, Adriane, or Hector (not my idea, she doesn't even know that's Jesse's real name, everyone knows him as Jesse).

Well after all that gabbing we were both starved, so naturally CeeCee ordered pizza. I'd told her about my grease-y foods deprivation, and she made sure to ask for extra cheese on my pizza.

After ordering our two large pizzas, CeeCee and I preceded to enjoy some lovely, tear-jerking, chick flicks. First we watched, and bawled through, "A Walk To Remember", then came "Ghost", which half way through we had to pause to get our pizzas.

We scarfed down our pizzas, finished "Ghost", and then put in "The Notebook", after CeeCee made a quick ice cream run. She got two pints; one coffee (for me), and the other some brownie, chocolate concoction, which was actually really good; we traded, half of hers for half of mine.

About thirty minutes into the movie Jesse came home, early.

"Uh oh. Simon we're busted" CeeCee managed to get out in almost a normal tone.

"Hello CeeCee. Querida" he greeted us, and then noticed the empty pizza boxes in front of us, and the ice cream containers and spoons in our hands.

"Nombre de Dios. Susannah, what are you doing?"

"Umm…girls night in" I squeaked.

CeeCee nodded her head, and then quickly grabbed the pizza boxes to throw them away. She then mouthed 'bathroom' to me, and walked quietly towards the bathroom, leaving me alone with one angry father-to-be.

"Well?" Jesse asked sternly.

"Uhh…well, you see…CeeCee came over and we were hungry. She was craving pizza and ordered with out even consulting me first. So when the pizzas got here, we couldn't let them go to waste, and they smelled so good, and…and…"

Jesse sighed deeply and sat down next to me on the couch. I batted my eyelashes at him, and pouted a little, hoping for forgiveness.

"Querida, I'm not mad at you. It's just, you've been so good, and…the baby-"

"Jesse" I began, taking his hand in mine, "pizza, and ice cream will not hurt the twins." Jesse nodded, acknowledging my being right, and then leaned in and kissed me tenderly.

"Hey, you've already got two in the oven, at least wait till the poor kids can 'Ewhh!' you guys" CeeCee said sauntering back into the living room. "And, no boys allowed. Its girls only" CeeCee said in her best imitation of a stuck up 5 year old.

Jesse and I pulled apart, and smiled at each other. He then turned to CeeCee and stuck his tongue out at her.

"Oh, that's real mature, coming from a guy with kids on the way" CeeCee teased.

I laughed at them, and said "Don't make me put you two in time out."

CeeCee mumbled something under her breath, and Jesse whispered to me "Only if I can spend my time out alone with you."

I blushed at how Jesse was being so…flirtatious, and unlike himself. I mean he's always been cute, and flirty, but this was new, and we had company!

"If you're going to start doing that again, I'm going to go throw up" CeeCee said, with an obvious attitude.

"CeeCee normally your morning sickness comes in the morning, so don't threaten me with that" I chirped back. Just then I realized what'd I'd said, and that Jesse was totally noticing something about CeeCee. She shot me an angry glare, and I nuzzled close to Jesse, just in chase she decided to go into a bitchy pregnancy mood.

"I KNEW IT!" Jesse said, pointing towards CeeCee.

Another angry glare came my way, and I just held onto Jesse tightly.

"Don't you people ever lock your doors?" Adam asked walking into the living room. CeeCee visibly paled at the sight of him. I could tell she was wishing he hadn't heard anything.

"Umm, hey sweetie" CeeCee gleefully cheered. She then shot me and Jesse a nervous, and pleading glance. We both nodded, knowing what she might, and I released my iron grip on Jesse.

Adam, completely unfazed by the uncomfortable tension in the room, came over and sat down on the couch, on my other side. "What are we watching?" he questioned looking at the Television screen. Cee came over to the couch, and sat down on Adam's lap. She then restarted the movie, and Jesse, immediately seeing the title come up, let out an annoyed sigh but pulled me into his lap anyway.

Needless to say, both Jesse and Adam hated the movie, while CeeCee and I bawled our eyes out.

"Okay, I better be getting laid after that torture" Adam scoffed. CeeCee appropriately smacked him, and then shot me a 'follow me' look. I carefully got up, with Jesse's help, and then followed CeeCee into the bathroom. She opened one of the cabinet doors, and pulled out a pregnancy test. "Did I have that in there? Cause I had to buy one-"

"No, I bought when I got the ice cream. Will you, help me. I'm kinda nervous."

"Absolutely" I said smiling, yet almost regretting that when I realized I had to 'help' her pee on a stick.

But being the good friend that I am, I dutifully helped her, and then waited patiently. We were both sitting on the edge of the bath tub and holding hands, for moral support.

Knock, knock

"You guys okay in there?" Adam asked through the door.

CeeCee grew even more nervous, and then called back "Yeah, we're fine. Suze just needed help with something."

'WHAT!' I mouthed/whispered.

"Shh!" she warned.

Then the timer on Cee's watch beeped, and we both looked down at the stick, hopefully.

"Ohmygawd" she yelped, blinking back tears.

"I know. I can't believe it."
